Ergo Garden Hand Weeder Tool, Heavy Duty for Removing Weeds & Roots

This Fiskars Ergo Weeder is a very well made, strong weeding tool. The weight is well balance and feels solid (not about to break at any minute) in your hand. As you can see in pictures attached, in a few minutes I took all these weeds out. It is an ecological, safe for kids and pets, way of dealing with dandelions, crabgrass, and other weed varieties. Safe for the environment, bees, butterflies, and your family. Who could ask for anything more?

Best tool ever! This is the only tool I use for weeding! Easy to hold, easy to pushing into the ground and lift up the weed and its roots. My hands do not get tired or sore when using this tool. I strongly recommend this weeder!

It works great for smaller weeds but not so great for large weeds with thick stem like thistle

I bought this tool for dandelion removal in my lawn. Bottom line is this tool works. Context: Rremoving dandelions embedded in my herbicide/pesticide-free lawn. I am writing this from the standpoint of what I wanted to know prior to choosing this tool. Pros: 1) If you center the two prongs of the business end of the tool around the stalk/root of the dandelion and push down about 1 to 1.5 inches, you will be able to lever the entire root of the dandelion out of the ground. It took me a few tries to figure out how best to center the two prongs and the optimal spacing away from the dandelion (about 0.25 inches) before levering the dandelion out of the ground. 2) I was able to minimize the amount of lawn grass that gets pulled up by moving the prongs closer to the stalk (0.25 inches away, as noted above). Whatever little dirt or grass does come up, I simply pat back into the ground. 3) The leftover hole size is minimal and I was able to quickly pat the small amount of uplifted dirt firm and flat. (You need to do this. Otherwise you'll have little dirt patches showing from where you weeded.) 4) I was able to consistently get the full length of the root out of the ground after a few tries. You want to GET THE FULL ROOT out of the ground to make sure the dandelion does not grow back. 5) I found the tool sturdy, easy to use and levered just the right amount. 6) My soil was softened up from rain, so that made the weed extraction a lot easier compared to trying to do the same in dry hardened soil. My recommendation is to use this tool when the soil is softened up from rain or watering. 7) Excellent quality. Very affordable and a solid value. I plan to use this tool for many years to come. Cons: 1) You have to bend down to use this tool. Aside: I thought about getting a standup dandelion puller, but I didn't like the idea of having a relatively large diameter hole remaining from the plug of soil and grass that gets pulled out with the dandelion. And then I'd need to put in topsoil and grass seed to fill the hole. 2) I wish I knew about this tool sooner. But that's on me.

Very strong tool. The handle feels good in my hand. The little fork end is narrow enough to dig out unwanted grass that is coming up in my ruschia succulent ground cover. It's so hard to get that stuff out by hand because the grass roots are wound around the succulent roots. But this thing rips them out surgically.

This is perfect for getting out those weeds without causing much damage to surrounding areas. Good quality and is comfortable to use with the soft handle grip

I've used this a few times now. It helps to loosen the weed, but does not get far enough under some weeds to jack them out of the ground and lops them off instead. The narrow head is helpful in rocky ground (which we have in abundance) where a garden spade just can't go, and the ergonomic shape is kinder on my hands than other tools.

Great tool. Very sturdy, rustproof, comfy handle. Its shape really does give you great leverage and makes it easy to get the lil buggers out. Almost makes it fun. When the package arrived I spent about half an hour levering baby thistles out of the lawn. I was just going to try out the tool on one plant, but liked it so much I kept going. Very satisfying to get a big hairy pile of the little beasts without much effort. Awesome little tool!

um pouco grande e pesada para a tarefa

Looks good quality - robust and unlikely to bend like so many other versions of the same type of tool. Will revise once used. But looks promising.

Excellent tool! Does a great job. Same great quality as all my other Fiskar products!

Haven't used it yet but it seems solid & up to the job.

It's Solid, well-made, easy to use comfortable to hold and is probably going to last for decades.
