 great weeder June 24, 2005

I got this from the local home improvement store to help on a handfull of weeds. This actually works well on crabgrass and pulls out the roots--at least better than hunching over and pulling (and tugging) them out by hand (then, to find out that you didn't remove any of roots will all the straining).
This device lets you place it on top of the root of the weed, then step down to penetrate and grasp. With some turning (much turning in some of the bigger crab grass) and pulling, I was surprised to pull out 6" of roots from a problem crab grass cluster on my neighbor's lawn bordering my own. (it probably takes more effort to bend over to try to pull manually than it is to use this weeder to twist and pull.)
I cannot imagine how to achieve similar results without having a shovel and remove much more dirt than needed.
One thing that you need to watch out for is if you have to pull out a large cluster of crab grass, you may want to get some soil available to patch up the area. This device removes a small amount of dirt while clasping the roots. (not really an issue for most weeds, but if you have a large crab grass cluster of 3-5, I have found having a handfull of soil to level out the small holes is helpfull.)

The Weed Hound is all steel and is very well-made. The (few) moving parts are heavy-duty and two seasons of use have failed to damage it, beyond wearing the paint off the parts that actually penetrate the ground. It has the added advantage of leaving a tidy little aeration hole in the soil every time you pop out a weed. Just place, step, twist/pull and the weed is extracted, with all or most of the root. It generally works better on broadleaf weeds than on stuff like crabgrass that have spreading root systems but you can't beat it for dandelions.
And it's made in the USA.

After reading the other reviews, I had high hopes for the Hound Dog. The tool is mediocre at best in my opinion. It's probably great in certain conditions and with certain weeds. My weeds are varied and my ground conditions range from pea gravel to dirt to grass to soil. The other aspect that doesn't work so well for me is the time. I guess I should have seen this coming but it's just much more efficient to be on your knees with an old fashioned dandelion puller (not even sure what they're called but the long metal tool with the prong on the end) than a tool that has to be centered over the weed, then steps 2 and 3....When I weed, I want to get it done quickly even if it causes me a little extra pain. That said the Hound Dog is inexpensive enough that I don't feel I got screwed, I think my expectations were too high.
This amazing tool actually makes weeding fun! June 2, 2005

I just bought this tool today and had to try it out in the yard as soon as I got home. This thing is amazing. You can pull about 50 weeds in 10 minutes. I had 2 people stop and ask me what it was as I was using it. After I showed them how it pulls weeds effortlessly, they both asked me where I bought it so that they could buy one. After you pull the weed, the ergonomic plunger handle at the top is fun to pop with the palm of your hand to launch the weed to the growing pile of weeds you've extracted. I don't think I've ever been quite so satisfied with a tool of any kind. This is one product that actually lives up to every claim made by the manufacturer . . . a must have for every homeowner.
The best solution to get rid of those horrible dandelions! March 25, 2005

I can't say enough wonderful things about the weed hound. I first bought was as a gift. Then when our yard had a dandelion problem (it is great for other weeds too) I borrowed it from the person I gave it to. Then I didn't want to give it back. All of my neighbors were laughing at the 9 month pregnant women out there battling weeds with the contraption. But it worked. The next year we had much fewer. It is easy to use just center over weed, step, twist, pull out weed and pop it off. My arm gets a little tired sometimes if I am doing a lot of weeds but now that I finally bought my own I can take my time. Definitely worth the price and no more weed killer to buy!
