Some of the best weeding tools will let you pull tough weeds out by the root, often working even on well-established, deep-rooted weeds like dandelions. Others will be more effective on smaller weeds. of raters gave this weed puller a score of 4 or 5 stars out of 5 – this is very high and indicates how much customers like this product – I guess I’m an outlier here but by leaving so many taproots in the ground, I felt disappointed. Using chemicals is an effective approach to weed removal, but even the word ‘chemicals’ starts ringing alarm bells for some people – and perhaps rightly so. Like every similar device, this weed puller will leave holes in the lawn as the claws grab chunks of soil too.

All you need to do is hover the device over the centre of the weed push down and then use your foot to close the claws. It works similar to a claw machine, but you are more than likely to get a prize every time! Fiskars Weed Puller Review

Fiskars 339950-1001 Lightweight Root Grabbing Weeder

Unlike the Xact weed puller, this weeding tool has been designed for patios. It has a hooked end that allows you to hook onto weeds growing between paving slabs, as well as a blade on the other side for precise removal. Gardena claims that this weeder can be used to remove grass, moss and weeds, leaving behind clean paving joints.

Then if you’re talking hand weed pullers then less still. Basically, you want one of the top models for weeds like Dandelion and Thistles. If it’s smaller plants in grass like daises then you definitely want to opt for the Wilkinson Sword. So, did it work? While I found this weed tool did a good job removing weeds on patios, it certainly didn’t get down to the roots, although you wouldn’t expect that from this tool. It did a great job neatening up my front driveway and removing weeds between the pavings, though a fair amount of physical labour was required. Care does need to be taken not to damage your patio grout.Most of the positive comments were about how easy the tool was to use, how they didn’t need to get on their knees and about the number of weeds they could pull out in a short amount of time. Many of the raters also praised the weight of the weed puller.

Weed pullers are designed to be placed over the weeds and dug into the ground and finally levered up pulling the weed out with the device. Weed pullers are favoured by the professional gardeners and landscapes because the weed is pulled out completely with the root attached and leaves minimal damage, if any to the lawn. Since I last reviewed this they made a big upgrade that has significantly improved the model, shooting it into a third sport for long handled garden weeders – especially with it’s lifetime guarantee! The Newer model is basically stronger and more durable at pulling and holding weeds. And it shows, it’s rated half a star higher at 4.5 now as opposed to the old one that was only 4.

The majority of weed pullers currently on the market offer the foot peddle, although some are much harder to squeeze than others. It, too, felt very good quality. The head is epoxy coated which I believe improves resistance to rust, scratches and humidity. While specifically designed for daisies, I used it to remove a range of weeds and it did a very good job. The first thing I noticed was the quality. With a wooden handle and a neat ‘Newman and Cole’ engraving, this weed brush felt thoughtfully designed from the start. The bristles are seriously heavy duty, made from wire. The working length is 120 cm, so it can be used fully from standing.
