Its better than other products as it does not bend or break under pressure to remove weeds. It only removes the weed but does not have the discharge feature that some of the newer weed remover products on the market have. The true upside is that it does not bend or break under pressure to remove weeds as I experienced using the supposed metal shafted design with discharge mechanism. I hope that in the future this grampa's weeder will be able to include this feature as well without compromising its integrity and durability

I owned one once before. I bought a new one with confidence. I was disappointed. The name is the same but the design different. Most notable is that the fingers inserted in the ground are too long. Trying to pivot the pull over the thing's thumb is near impossible because of the distance from the finger tips to the ground. I'm thinking of going to a machine shop and having it modified. I may cut as much as 1-1/2 inches off of the fingers. Costs too much for a lack of serviceability.

First off, mine broke a part of a tine the first time I used it. I may have got one with a bad casting. Only about an inch or so broke off and it still worked well on weeds like dandelions and others that the roots spread out. Stab it in and pull back on the handle and the weeds come out! It is that simple. However, it does NOT work well on things like small trees that have a long tap root. It does not grasp them well and it is not strong enough to break them loose, but I guess they are really not weeds, are they?

I'm impressed with the products simplicity, quality and ease of use. I purchased this after getting some tendonitis and lower back pain from pulling too may weeds. Grandpa's Weeder eliminates most of the pulling and bending over. While it does a great job on small and medium sized weeds, it doesn't always get up the larger crab grass clumps. It will eliminate the center of the crab grass clump, but some pulling may be needed to get the rest of the grass out. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase.

Cleared an entire 70' X 75' field of dandelions in about an hour. They were heavily dispersed throughout the yard. The tool is high quality and easy to use. I have already recommended it to family and friends. Our neighbor saw me working with it and was immediately sold on the product. I'm retired with some back issues but the weeder was easy on my body!
