Grampa's Metal Weeder - Stand Up Weed Puller Tool With Steel Long Handle - Made With All Steel Handle & 4-Claw Steel Head - Easily Remove Weeds Without Bending, Pulling, or Kneeling (Black)

I'm amazed by this Grampa's Weeder. We're both mid-60s and pulling weeds is not big on our list. However, this winter I didn't tend the land as much as I should have and a large number of thistle weeds invaded the yard. My bride found the Grampa's Weeder when looking online for weed removal products and I ordered one. We got the 45" wooden handle model and began using it this morning. I've already ordered a second because this works so well. Absolutely easy to use. Center the 4 tines in the all metal weed removal head directly over the center of the weed and step on the side bar to push the tines in, surrounding the weed stem. Then rock the handle toward the side with the foot bar. That rocks the weed removal head to the side and pulls the weed right out of the ground. It brings the weed roots and tap root with it. It leaves almost nothing in the ground except a small divot where the weed roots used to be. We worked less than an hour and filled two 40-pound birdseed bags with weeds. It isn't effortless but it's the best way we've either seen to pull weeds. The thistles have quite a tap root and if you try to pull them out by hand all you do is pull off the leaves. With Grampa's Weeder everything comes up with the leaves. Worst case scenario is we have to drop half a cup of topsoil in the small divots that remain. Easy 5 Star recommendation on this. That's why we have already ordered a second one.

I haven't seen a garden tool this well made in decades. I am a sr. citizen with severe arthritis in my hips and lumbar spine. This tool is so easy to use; it requires no strength at all. It easily rips up those coarse weeds that try to take over my yard. I am beyond impressed.

Works great, so easy to use! Pulls up dandelions with minimal effort. Works well on violets too, but I found it is hard to discern the center of the violets, especially when they tend to grow close together. I pulled off leaves %26 was then able to see better where the center was. It pulls them out well too. I'm very happy with this tool!

I almost fell for the Facebook ad, but decided to take a screenshot and shop around. Walmart offered a great price and free/fast shipping. As soon as it arrived I went out to the yard to attack those nasty, furry, pricker weeds. Just a poke, twist and lift to extract them. Some came out in chunks and may have left some root behind, but I'll be ready to take them on again if they dare to return.

Great tool and so easy to use. If you have a tall weed cut it down with a weed eater and then use the tool. I pulled up roots about six inches deep today. I didn't know there was such a tool to get rid of weeds. I shopped around and this one is light, well built and easy to use.

Where has this been all my achy back days pulling weeds?? Thank you GRANDPA! For us mobility challenged old folks this tool is worth its weight in ibuprofen!! Slight learning curve but once you figure out the pinch %26 tilt action, Katie bar the door! An absolute MUST for pokey thistle. Pops them demon weeds right up with NO POKES!

Grampa's weeder is well made and heavy. I bought the all metal one. The handle comes in 3 pieces that screw together. I found that after using it for awhile I had to tighten the handle as the sections were loosening a little. A minor inconvenience. The only other issue I had was the claws aren't long enough to remove the longest roots, especially in large dandelions.

I have several "weeder" tools. This one pulls the weed out easiest of all, BUT, it doesn't turn loose of the weed once out of the ground. You have to "Foot" it off or pull it off. My other weeders twist the weed out and have a shaft that ejects the weed from the teeth. If only they were taller.

Beautiful looking tool and high quality. Followed the instructions, there is inconsistencies in grasping and removing roots of saw briar roots. When pulling root was successful (less than 50% of the time), i had to manually remove the root/weed by hand.

The entire purpose was not having to bend down, but that wasn't the case. After stepping on the lever you were only suppose to push forward and it was suppose to snap the weed root and then you pull it up to dispose. However I kept having to push the handle all the way to the ground and it did noting, While the claws were still in the ground I had to push the handle to the ground on the 3 sides that didn't have the foot lever. Only 2 times out of 18 attempting pulling dandelions did it particely work, and even the 2 it did pull out had less than an inch of the root. The metal claws need to be at least another inch longer, and they need to close tight enough to not only snap but also hold on to the root and plant to pull out. And of course you shouldn't have to push the handle all the way to the ground on three sides and still not work. I finally gave up and used the hand held 12 inch rod you push in by hand and turn around the weed, you hear the root snap loose and pull out the entire plant and root. The only good thing was the wooden handle is sturdyI will be returning, waste of time and money, a huge disappointment.
