I bought one of these several years ago and fell in love with it. It pulls up weeds almost effortlessly with little bending over. You put the bottom prongs over the weed, rock forward on the lever with your foot then back while you are standing up (not on your knees) and the weed is pulled up, roots and all. I recently bought another one for my son and daughter in law and weeded about 8 bags of weeds out of their back yard! It works!

My wife and I both find this to be a usefull tool. It pulls deep weeds out without bending over and with little effort.
It is not, however, a weeding cureall as it is better suited to large weeds and tears up too much lawn for use on many small weeds.

I loved this device for as long as it lasted - less than 24 hours. The plastic is not strong enough for large tough weeds or slightly hardened ground. Great idea, I hope they re-make it with metal foot.

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.
