CAUTION: Spearfishing for Crabgrass Can Become Addictive
This is a fantastic labor-saver; if you have weeds that need to go, this is your answer. I hesitated to buy it, reading through the reviews here, because my primary weed-of-choice is a HORRENDOUS infestation of crab grass (or crabgrass, depending on your spelling preference) and the reviews were mixed--2/3 said it worked on crab grass, 1/3 said it didn't. IT WORKS. And easily. Last summer, I spent several afternoons in 112 degree Texas heat, on my hands and knees, cutting crab grass out of our St. Augustine yard. Blistered hands. Tired back. Sunburn. Bug bites. About 35 plants removed after about 5 hours of really, really hot, hard work. We'd tried killing it with weedkiller that said "safe for St Augustine"--it wasn't. Huge swaths of the St Augustine died after spraying the crab grass, which just seemed to get bigger. So, after talking to a horticulturist, we tried heavy acid vinegar. No go: "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger." Finally, my husband, in a fit of frustration, said he was going to kill it all with Round-Up and we'd re-seed the yard if we had to. So in September, he sprayed. The crab grass looked like it died. The St Augustine DID die. And this Spring--behold the miracle--green crab grass. A yard FULL of healthy, green crab grass and yellowed, dead St. Augustine. And two new puppies, which meant that re-seeding the lawn was OUT for this year. The only answer was to hand-extract the crab grass and pray that some random strands of St Augustine had survived the nuclear option. So, I found this upright weeder on Amazon, bought it, and was AMAZED that it truly worked and was EASY. No more back-breaking labor; no more blistered palms. And I'm quickly making a dent in the crab grass infestation. I've only had this for 2 weeks and have only used it for about 3 hours total, and we've disposed of 5 WHEELBARROWS full of crab grass so far. Plus some fuzzy cabbage-like weed and other odd weeds. Some hints: 1. Don't try to use this on dry, hard ground. It's easiest after a good rain or the day after you've run your sprinkler system. 2. Aim the center of the four "blades" at the center of your plant (for crab grass, you'll quickly learn there's less pigmentation at the center of the plant, where its "limbs" intersect--in no time, you'll develop a "feel" for this). 3. I've found it works best to insert this at a slight angle (about 30 degrees, rather than straight down), then gently tamp the black "heel" of the tool completely into the ground. Use the leverage of the "heel" to extract the weed from the ground. 4. Carry a bucketful of sand or topsoil with you, with a small garden shovel & fill the little "gopher holes" this tool makes. I extract about 8 weeds, then fill 8 holes. It's quicker than it sounds, but in our case, a necessity, lest the puppies learn that we're all REALLY, really into digging up the yard. You really will have to fill the divots this tool leaves behind. But in my opinion, it's worth it to get the crab grass root balls OUT. Permanently. 5. This model has a great feature: it "ejects" the weed after you've pulled it, using a little sliding bar on the handle. You get the great auditory reward of a ca-ching that sounds something like loading a rifle. Just the right motivator to go after more crab grass. I've Gotcha now! (Kinda makes you feel like you're channeling Carl from Caddyshack ). This tool is REALLY easy to use, light in weight, and does the job. I've been very impressed with the fact that I can truly stand comfortably and successfully weed the yard. I've heard that if we can ever establish some healthy St Augustine, it will more or less keep itself weed-free--the best joke of all, I've just learned that St Augustine is a close relative of crab grass, which is why no chemical weedkiller will really kill crab grass and leave St Augustine unscathed. Who knew? Good luck with your weeding; buy one of these & you'll amaze yourself at the speed and ease of your Springtime weeding tasks--I'm really glad I bought this (and so have 2 of my neighbors, once they tried mine). Highly recommended!

Great device for removing taproot weeds while standing up
I was very surprised at how well this tool works. If I hadn't spent time skeptically querying AI about weed-removal tools, and been informed about how good this one is, I wouldn't have believed how well it works and how easy it is to use. All you do is locate the spot where the stem emerges from the soil; center the four prongs over the spot; push the tool into the soil by the handle; step on the foot lever; pull the tool towards yourself by the handle; lift up the tool while pushing the eject slide to eject the weed from the tool; and you're done. It takes very little physical effort, and takes longer to describe the operation than to perform it. The best part is that you do it all standing up, then just move on to the next weed. In the past, I either had to practice overkill with a spade, which doesn't work very well, or get down on my hands and knees with a trowel and dig and pry, and dig and pry. Every year or two, new types of weeds blow into the garden. Some are fairly easy to remove, some are moderately difficult, and some are beasts. Consequently weed removal tools come in niches. This tool fits the niche for weeds above the ones that are easily removed with a rake or long-handled claw tool. This tool is for the the kind of weed that is fairly small and has a deep taproot (single-stemmed root). The long roots makes these weeds fairly hard work to remove using something like a trowel. With this tool, you pluck up these weeds, including their deep taproots, right out of the ground just by stepping on the foot lever. For many of the types of weeds that have deep, resistant root mats (clusters of multiple stems), you need step up a niche from this tool, to something like a trench shovel.

Should've bought this sooner
A fantastic tool that will save your back and your sanity if you have weeds or nuisance saplings that need the boot during your spring clean up. The ergonomics of this tool are great and it takes very little effort to pull up both the weed and its roots quickly once you get in a groove. The viewing window in the lever makes for an easy sight line to the prongs and helps you get everything centered up well. All that's left is to give the device a good push straight down around the weed and angle the handle back to activate the grabbing action of the claws. The lever action of the device makes short work of nuisance vegetation with very little exertion. The easy eject slider on the handle makes it quick to release the plucked weed and move on to the next with ease. The claws on this device feature a soft ridging as opposed to harshly serrated teeth. I assume this is to strike a balance between grabbing power and the ability to eject the plant with ease after each use. This being said you have to know their are limitations for plant size with this tool. Any new growth from this season like sprouting acorns, or crabgrass are a non-issue, but if you are tackling well established root systems with thicker growth you may need to turn to other tool options due to the lightweight nature of this device.

I have a traditional weed puller with 3 claws. This one is a great improvement from the original tool. Mine is a 4-claw one, which I feel is the right decision. It’s easier to grab the weed, and it pulls out the weed much easier. The “easier” parts included, 1. it grabs the roots more precisely, 2. it takes out bigger weeds easier, 3. It can take out two or three smaller weeds before discarding them I also find the “push-out” function works very well. The way the claws are designed is much superior than the old one I have. The clay soil or mulch piece often stuck in the traditional weed-puller that needs to be removed manually with force. But never happens to this one. I can work on a much larger area, pull out twice as much weeds, within the same time with this one. And this is also lighter. I have used it for a week since I bought it. I use it everyday because it’s so easy, efficient, and effortless to use it. Really a must have for anyone hates weeds like me.
