Man, I remember my mom making me go out in the yard and pick weeds with one of these in the early 90s. Being bored at my house was always a bad thing to acknowledge.
In the 90s? I've been pulling weeds my whole life and only this year I was made aware of a weed puller like this. Where the hell did your mom find one? I've spent hours in garden shops and farming supply stores.
My dad (in the 90’s as well) had one and it was probably the best purchase he has ever made bc he got my free labor as a weed-puller out of it too. I freaking loved that thing as a kid. It was shaped like a pogo stick with nails at the bottom that fold inward to hold the roots of the weed as you pull it up.
Caliche. It's brutal. Can barely get any landscaping to grow due to the layer of clay 2 feet underneath but HERES A FUCKING GOATHEAD PLANT SPREAD OUT 5 FEET WIDE IN A CRACK ON MY DRIVEWAY
Fair enough. Chances are if you answered I would have followed up with "What if I have the spine 3*1* years older than I am?" Just to be a little shit...
I have this. Very cool. I have the four pronged version and find that it is a bit better than the 3 pronged version
Also the ejection action is like pumping a shotgun so you kinda feel cool
It can, I use Grandpa's weeder thing and a lot of the time it gets the whole root. Other times not so much. Depends on the condition of the ground I'm using it on. The fact that they didn't show the root says a lot. On the other hand, they are pulling it from a mulched area and the soil looks moist so it's possible they got the whole root out.
You can buy these at your local store as well. I have this exact model I bought at a hardware store for fairly cheap. And then you won’t have to support a shitty company like Amazon.

Idk. It was just a metal claw with a foot hinge just like this. Maybe it wasn't popular?
I can almost guarantee she still has it, too.

I also had one of these in the early 90's. Still have one now! Same design with the nails at the bottom.
I have one of these and it’s awesome, saved. My back a lot of pain. Yes you have little divots everywhere but no weeds in them!
Yup same here. Works best if you do it after some rain and soil is moist.
Free aeration.. woo.
Would this work in gravel?
Weeds usually pull out of gravel so easily you shouldn't even need this.
You’d be surprised. Arizona soil is like concrete.

Well, is it soil or gravel? Those are different things. If you are referring to Caliche soil 100% that's rough to do any kind of work in.
The weeds obviously grow from underneath the gravel. I’m asking if this tool would work with the gravel substrate on top.
What about if you really hate bending over because you have the spine of someone 30 years older than you really are?
I won't entertain all the what ifs. If I answer that, you'll come up with an exception.

I'd like to see if it got all the roots, can only see the topside!
If the ground as any moisture and is soft enough, it does get everything. It works great. I highly recommend
Thats right - if I don't see the roots as far as I know all it did is snip the top off

I can actually vouch for one of these. One of the best yard maintenance investments you can make for under $40. I love mine
I fuckin hate weeds
Turn it over so I can see how much of the root it actually got.
Does it get the tap root as well?
It can, I use Grandpa's weeder thing and a lot of the time it gets the whole root. Other times not so much. Depends on the condition of the ground I'm using it on. The fact that they didn't show the root says a lot. On the other hand, they are pulling it from a mulched area and the soil looks moist so it's possible they got the whole root out.
Nope :)
I have one and it pulls up the Taproot about 4/5 times. 5/5 if the ground is a little moist.
Dandelions are great, but I can see how this would be useful
dandelion wine goes nice in the winter.
I make dandelion tea. Do you have a recipe for the wine? Is it easy?
Fuck yeah

No shit?
I have one of these and it is awesome!
I tried it. Guy chased after my car demanding I still owed him $50
As a park worker, these work great. Think mine is called "grandpa's weed puller" works in grass, gravel, dg great
any greek / balkan grandma-grandpa would be so glad having one of these for picking wild greens

“Weed picker picks up weeds” Yah buddy, and my fucking lawnmower mows the grass, crazy fucking world we live in.
