Fiskars Weed Puller

Product Information

Hand weeders require you to sit or kneel and get down in the dirt. They feature a steel head that won’t break while digging in dense soil, as well as a sharpened forked tip that makes it easy to get under the root. Our Big Grip Weeder has an extra-large handle with Softgrip® for exceptional grip and comfort, while the Ergo Weeder takes it one step further with an ergonomically designed handle to reduce hand and wrist fatigue. Fiskars claims their weeder is now lighter than before. I don’t have an older version, so I don’t know the previous weight, but the version of the stand up weeder we have weighs less than 3 pounds. The Fiskars 4 claw weeder weighs just under 3 pounds

Claw weeders and weeding knives are the most effective weeding tools because they can remove the whole weed and its root .

To combat this annoyance, you could try using a garden wagon and put the weeds into the wagon. Because the wagon is lower to the ground than a yard waste bag you won’t have to raise the tool up so high with each weed. It tends to take quite a bit of ground with it when you remove a weed. Not a massive issue but it is worth mentioning, particularly if you plan on using this on a lawn. Viewing window integrated into the foot pedal make it easy to see the weed for optimum claw placement and clean, complete removal

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. Requires virtually no strength meaning even those with injuries or limited mobility will find it easy to use If there’s one thing us gardeners have in common when it comes to our beloved outdoor spaces, it’s a mutual hatred of weeds. I always find that seeing pictures of products in use helps me make decisions. I hope it helped you too. The easy-eject mechanism on the handle removes the weed without forcing you to bend over and remove it by hand.I don’t worry about them like some people do because I don’t believe it maintaining a lush, perfect lawn. And dandelions have edible leaves so it is like a salad growing in your yard. They’re best used on flat patches of lawn, and are useful because you don’t need to bend down to pull out the weeds.

Since I don’t use herbicides in my yard I am not at risk of toxicity from eating the dandelion greens in my yard. Whilst it’s easy to cover a large area with these weeding tools, and they’re particularly good to use in flowerbeds and vegetable patches, they can’t really be used in hard ground and need to be used in toiled soil. The tool allows you to remove weeds like nettles without ever having to get your hands close to the weed. You also can get so many more weeds up in the same amount of time it would take you using a hand trowel for example.

Resources for Using Weeders

Requires some physical effort so those with limited mobility may struggle to use it for extended periods The steel blade is coated with an anti-rust chrome finish and has a wavy sharp edge that catches plant stems and chops them off. The Fiskars stand up weeder is for people who don’t want to use harsh herbicides (plant poison) on their lawn, but they also don’t want to get on their hands and knees to pull weeds. Suitable for gardeners of most heights, the 89 cm ‘working shaft’ is a good length, with an additional 10 cm of stainless-steel blades on the end which are inserted into the soil surface around the weed. There is also an option with a telescopic handle available, in case you’re concerned about this being too short. As you can imagine, it’s not the best tool for weed removal if the plant has large roots; however, it works well for getting rid of smaller plants and drastically improving the appearance of paving in a short space of time.

Fiskars Xact Stainless Steel and Aluminium Garden Weed Puller

Having the right tool for the job can make all the difference. A good weeding tool will make the job of removing weeds much easier. This is a tool created to pull weeds out of your lawn, soil, beds etc without needing to bend down. It does that really well actually. All the operation of the tool can be done easily from a standing position. If you are looking at getting this because you find bending over hard then rest assured that you can fully use this tool to rip weeds out of your garden without ever having to bend over. The downside of a short handle is that you will need to be close to the ground; therefore, these may not be the best weeding tools for people who have difficulty kneeling or bending. The overall size of the tool is 35 cm, part of which is taken up by an ash wood handle – it’s comfortable, but can still cause blisters after time, so wearing gloves is recommended. Both the handle and the blade seem strong, and joined well – even with clay soil you won’t need to worry about anything bending or snapping.

From The Manufacturer

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. Write: DIY Garden (Harris Creative Ltd), Lytchett House, 13 Freeland Park, Wareham Road, Poole, Dorset, BH16 6FA The tapered carbon-steel blade slides into the ground beside the weed, requiring leverage to eek both the weed and its roots out the ground. Whilst harder work than more mechanical gardening tools, it certainly makes things easier than doing weeding tasks solely by hand. It’s also possible to remove most of the taproot of tough weeds like dandelions due to the decent length of the blade. Skip the harsh herbicides and opt for this environmentally friendly weeder instead. It has a long shaft, so you can use it from a standing position. It's also made using stainless steel claws that firmly grasp weeds and their roots. Then step down on the foot lever to push the claws deep into the soil.
