Our dogs are frequently out in the yard, so other than spring pre-emergent I try to avoid herbicides. I bought it after a hand weeder broke pulling up crabgrass. This thing has oddly been one of the most satisfying purchases I've made in years. You put it in the ground, step on it and the thing easily pulls out weeds and only in the spot you put it. Then you get to shoot them off the claw. I have a bucket I try and shoot them into. It's oddly therapeutic.

I refuse to use herbicides for a variety of reasons (pets, kids, and our property backs up to a creek and I try my best not to contaminate) but I despise pulling weeds the old fashioned way. Can't believe I've never seen this before. Definitely getting one - thank you!

These are great, and I use mine, but I discovered that much cheaper and more robust options exist which work as well. I actually found an all-metal option at around $40 CAD that my sister-in-law has was quite a bit nicer to use. So anyone interested in this, definitely look around!

This works great for me! I use it to rip out dallisgrass weeds, which can not be pulled out by hand and they are very hard to kill with chemicals (at least without also killing your grass as well). After using this, those weeds never come back as this device completely removes the entire root. Highly recommend. Totally agree about it being therapeutic!

Our backyard definitely needs this, and I also hesitate to use herbicides because of pets (and insects and whatnot). Had no idea this existed. I'll definitely get one, thanks!

If I pulled all the weeds out of my yard all I would have is dirt.

This thing is so satisfying. I've done something to mine though, I feel like the claws have moved down a little or something else has moved up. It keep getting jammed and I have to give it a boot.
