Bought one of these 20ish years ago and it's by far been the best weeding investment I've made. The newer model seems to be much more ergonomic with the handle though, may need to upgrade. Mine is just a 3 claw as well.
Thank you! I have had this for a few years, finally decided to take it out and try it, but I couldn’t figure out how to pull the weeds out, so I bend over to hold the long thing that holds on to the weeds.. this is way better 😂😂 I mainly use it for thistles!
You just step it into the ground than pivot it towards you until the foot lever is solid against ground and then lift it out. @0.27 show the action if you look for it you see the pivot/rock towards you the the lift
Just got One recently, and actually used it today, and wow. What a great product and tool much less bending over and does a really good job at the video says, however, not very effective on rock/rock gardens.
I used to use the weed hound by hound dog a couple decades ago before i let the dandelions win. It could pull up the whole tap root on the big ones with consistency. The smaller dandies would break often. Maybe the newer ones like this are better though.
@@Jon_Chan I’m sure I can get it somewhere else. I’m headed to Costco and B&Q (uk version of Home depot or Lowes, B&Q even uses the orange branding but isn’t related) to look for one!
It does help your grass grow back, but it could also give way to new weeds. I tends to seed my lawn and water it after the weeds get removed to make sure grass replaces the bare spots instead of more weeds.
I need to get rid of thick black mustard weed plants taking over. Weed trimmer is useless, the stalks are too thick. Don’t have a lawn mower, not sure if the mower is suitable for tall weed like that.
I usually fill it with clover seed, not grass seed. Mixed clover lawn is much healthier in my opinion. Personally, I do not like using weed killer, especially if you have kids or pets.
There's a small, hand held version for $8 (Fiskar, too). Somehow, I just don't have the ability to always pull weeds completely from the roots properly. I'm thinking something like this would have a better success rate than me. 👀 😊
