The Grampa’s Weeder Original Stand Up Weed Puller Tool allows you to pull stubborn taproot weeds like dandelions while standing. It features a 45-inch bamboo handle topped with a steel forked head to effectively lift weeds and their roots from the ground. Simply hover the weed puller over the center of the weed you want to pull, press it into the ground, and lean the handle to one side to lift the root. As the weeding tool stamps into the ground, the forked clamp closes on the root to swiftly hoist out the weed. While it’s designed to work in all soil types, toughies (weeds like docks and plantains that grow in hard, compact soil) may be difficult to grab in the rigid soil conditions where they often thrive. Moreover, the weeding tool is best used with taproot weeds like dandelions, or rhizomes like nettles instead of annual weeds that are sadly best pulled by hand or with a smaller tool. Tip: If you’re unfamiliar with weeds, check out this identification guide that includes 33 weed varieties. Even though this garden tool works best with only a few specific weed types, it effectively removes some of the most stubborn and wide-spread species without much strain on your joints.
