Weeder

This is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It really works and beats the heck out of getting down on hands and knees to pull weeds. Get yourself one, you will love it.

Perfection

2008-05-28
I have only had this tool 1 day,but I can tell you it does exactly what it claims. I wish I had found out about this a long time ago. This tool leaves nothing to be desired,it is perfect.I cannot speak to it's durability,but it seems well made and I expect no problems. I have lots of Fiskars tools and they are all the top in their field. I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. The folks at Fiskars really do their homework when they design a tool. Of course they charge top dollar,but they are worth it.

Lasted Less than an Hour

2008-05-19
After a few tries with this tool I was feeling like a pro quickly filling a garbage bag with dandelions. Large dandelions came out of the ground with ease. Every now and then I would come across a smaller dandelion in hard or mossy soil that just didn't want to come out of the ground and took extra effort. It was one of these that caused it to crack. I had maybe an hour of use before this happened. This tool did leave sizable holes behind. I don't know yet if it pulled enough of the dandelion to keep it from growing back. A better technique would have been to spray the dandelions with a grass friendly weed killer and removed them a day or two later but I was so excited to have a new toy I couldn't wait. I went to my local hardware store and found an all metal competitor that looked like it would last longer. Unforunately it doesn't grasp them as well as this one did and some times leaves part of the plants behind.

Works great

Works great, just received yesterday and started pulling weeds with my 2.5 year old grandson. I have some tall deep rooted weeds and it worked great. Some of the weeds were so big, a second grab was necessary, but really understandable. When my 13 year old grandson came over, they both worked as a team pulling weeds. The older one pulling, the younger one bagging. Since it started raining, I hope to get them back for some more fun weeding. My only concern is the pulling mechanism, I hope it lasts, I will update if it becomes a problem.

Grandpa's Weed Puller
I find very few products advertised on T.V. that i would even consider. This product lives up to all that was promised in the ad. It is one of the most valuable tools in my tool collection. This is a four star piece of equipment that I would recommend to anyone.

A must have for chemical free weeding.

This is an excellent way, chemical free, to weed your yard. It pulls entire weed, roots and all, with very little effort.

Buy this tool

This tool is the best weed remover I've ever seen for getting those dandelions, thistles and other weeds with tap roots out of the lawn. It removes the entire weed, with the root included, in one easy operation. It works so slick that taking those dandelions out is actually fun.

it really works

This product worked as maker described. It is a real time saver for me. I only wish the handle was a little stronger than plastic.

No more standing on my head!

Fiskars UpRoot Weeder #7870
With arthritic hands and an intense dislike for spending hours bending over while blood rushes to my head, I surveyed the weeds in my flower beds with great frustration. The Fiskars Uproot Weeder seemed to be the answer to my problem. Although I had some doubts, I'm happy to say that it really works! I received it promptly and immediately went outside and tested it. Success and pain-free! I highly recommend it for folks with my problems and even for folks who have become slaves to stabbing and pulling at the weeds only to suddenly hear the dreaded sound of a fat root breaking in half!
