Hand Weeder & Manual Weed Puller with Large Ergonomic Handle; Best for Lawn and Garden Weeding - Makes Great Gift

Did you ever go to harbor freight and buy cheap tool thinking that you are getting a good deal? You are so wrong and wasting your money on buying from the store. I am on some Facebook Group for gardening and someone suggest me to buy this tool so after looking for price and people review, I bought this product at full price. I am so glad that I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was very easy to use with dry soil rather than wet and moist soil ( like just after the rain). It works wonderful to remove dandelion from the root. Ergonomic design- Rubber grip is easy on the palms. Big and has nice soft rubber kind of feeling rather than having tough plastic kind of material. Easy to remove any kind weed-- Grip was easy and was very productive. Got to the root of weeds with ease without putting too much pressure. Curve style design-- It helps to go around the roots and dig it little deeper. Plus narrower blade that’s better for digging down around long taproots, as well as a thicker, sturdier rod between the handle and the blade. I am really happy with my purchase. Thank you homegrown!!!!!

First: Although the photo doesn't do it justice, this is a very beautiful and very sturdy tool. It's sinuous grace belies a its strength. And, it feels good in the hand. Second: In 60 years of gardening, I have never been able to weed out a dandelion with taproot intact. With this lovely tool, I pretty much just stuck it down into the ground and levered back the weeder. The offending dandelion surrendered without so much as a whimper. The "baby's got back" curve of the tool, gives the weeder some real leverage, which seems to make all the difference. Third: The folks at Homegrown Garden Tools are sooooo Sweet. They want you to love your weeder, and will send you instructions, if you can't figure it our yourself. You may end up loving them as much as you love your weeder. Forth: Weeding can be a very frustrating experience. With this tool, the work is easier than I have experienced in the past, and less frustrating, by far. In fact getting a few long taproots out successfully makes me feel like I RULE. You know that's a good feeling. If you're looking for a weeder, I cannot recommend this highly enough!

If you have not tried this style but have been using the straight stick style - or any that are a little less straight. It is all a matter of preference what you choose but I like this style because of the nice grip I get on the handle and the deep bend is much like a mini pry bar when pulling out the bigger clumpy weeds that are rooted to hard soil. I watched a review on YouTb... I have a very small issue with wrists over the years of laboring and my love for many crafts and gardening - and this is a better pick for me - for weeding. Large and manageable. Great purchase!

This fits comfortably in my hand, and is easy to use. It has a handle with a rubber grip, which is soft. I like the green and black on the handle and the presentation is nice, when it arrives. It comes with the little burlap sack, on the end of the tool, and is packaged, so that the sharp end of the tool is covered, so there is no chance of you getting poked when you open it. It does not take up much space, and can be easily stored, due to it's size. I have it outside on a garden shelf, and it is small enough that I am able to store it in a plastic shoe box, where it is protected from the elements, so it doesn't rust. I was able to use it to pull out a dandelion, as well. I would recommend this as a tool you will probably use often.

Great design and very comfortable handle that makes weed removal easy and almost fun. The point is nice and sharp and goes into the soil very easily and the bend in the shaft provides great leverage to pop those weeds right out of the ground. Really saves the wrist in the process and the shaft is wide enough to stay on top of the ground during the weed removal. Very strong construction so no bending in even hard clay soil.

Update: The day after I posted my original review I received a refund, before I had even had a chance to return the weeder. This company is the best I have ever dealt with. The other garden tools I ordered from them are great. Although this one isn't for me, I'm upgrading my rating based on the company's customer service. Original review: I bought this on the basis of its great reviews, but my experience has been disappointing. It may be the soil where I live (Vermont), or it may be the size of my hands, but I found this tool to be uncomfortable to use and ineffective. Because the bend in the metal is so close to the prongs, it didn't get the tap roots up, but broke off the roots near the surface. I tried using different techniques, but nothing did the trick. I would give it one star, but it does seem well made.

First let me say that I can bend over from the waist for hours, and pulling weeds is like meditation for me. That out of the way, this is a most satisfying tool to meditate with! It's quality construction, with a good heavy blade, and the design has modified my dandelion-pulling technique. With my old straight tool, I would jab the forked end into the root to sever it. This tool seems meant to grab the root, not sever it, and once grabbed, the leverage offered by the curve pulls the plant straight out of the ground, bringing the root with it more often than not. For this tool, the more mature the dandelion, the better the job it does, since it grabs the root more effectively. For stubborn roots, and particularly for smaller plant, I often push down on the plant with my left hand while levering up with the right to seat the root better between the fork, or I'll just pull up on the plant gently with my left hand while the tool does most of the work. I've also used it on grasses, working around in a circle to pry up a root mass, and any other kind of weed. Works great on all.

I bought this weeder for my mom who enjoys gardening. Other weeders that she used in the past had wood or hard plastic handles and were uncomfortable; this weeder has a very comfortable,soft grip and fits very nicely in her hand unlike the others. Also, the other weeders were completely straight, whereas this weeder allowed her more control and ease of use due to its design. It is well made, durable, and by far the most comfortable to use. We highly recommend it!!
