Great Product October 3, 2007

This weed puller works great. It does work best when the ground is wet and I found that giving it a twist allows the tougher weeds to come right up. I bought one for my 82 year father who loves to garden and he thinks it is great.

I first was wondering how this thing can pick up the weed root but then it is easy and it works like a charm. However, if your precious grass is too close to the weed, it will also be picked up so just make sure you are as precise as possible when using it. I recommend it.
 Did not pull entire tap root April 22, 2008

The Hound Dog would get the leaves and, if you aimed well, the top 1/2" of the tap root (Dandelion, russian thistle, burdock, etc). But it did not get the entire root, so the darn weed just keeps coming back.
I am still looking for a better weed puller, for now I'll contine to crawl around with my hand tools.
 Hound Dog Dandelion Puller May 8, 2008

The design concept is good but this tool needs some reconfiguration before it's truly effective.
1. The pulling tines should be a bit longer. (They aren't long enough to grab on and pull up the whole dandelion root, even in wet soil.)
2. The diameter of the base of the tines (where they are mounted) needs to be about 1/4 inch more. (Would give a better chance of grabbing onto the root as the exact center of a dandelion is sometimes hard to eyeball.)
3. Shaft of tool needs to be about 3 inches longer. (So the tool-user doesn't have to bend over so much to use this thing.)

I'm a novice gardener and have become the steward of a sadly overgrown garden. I bought this blindly after having spent a day kneeling and ripping up weeds by hand. I lucked out! What a great product. It's solidly constructed and has some real heft to it. I did have some issues getting used to how it worked at first. After a while, I got the rhythm and had a blast destroying unsuspecting dandelions and milkweed. I sure hope the neighbors didn't hear me as I laughed maniacally at the death of those weedy invaders!
Why knock off a star? I did find that a little twisting motion applied as I pulled up slowly helped to get the entire root system. I also noted that sometimes the hound got a little greedy at times and pulled up a lot of soil. I just knocked it off and pushed it back into the divot. And finally, the metal sometimes gets a little stuck and tough to release if I get a little to carried away with weed assassination. I really had to whack it to get it to work again- but keeping that in mind prevented further issues. I also bet I could squirt a little WD40 in there to get it moving again.
All in all- absolutely worth the money!
