Fiskars Weed Puller

Product Information

Claw weeders are mechanical weeding tools. They have a long handle and a circle of metal teeth on the end. The metal teeth tend to be around 10 cm long and go into the ground around the weed. There is then a mechanism which allows you to close the teeth to ‘grab’ the weed, and pull it out. Fiskars claims their weeder is now lighter than before. I don’t have an older version, so I don’t know the previous weight, but the version of the stand up weeder we have weighs less than 3 pounds. The Fiskars 4 claw weeder weighs just under 3 pounds You’ll probably be able to get this Fiskars stand up weeder at your local hardware or garden store. These weeding tools are exactly what they sound like. They are long-handled tools with a small, stiff brush on the end. They can be used to get at weeds between paving and in other narrow areas. I don’t worry about them like some people do because I don’t believe it maintaining a lush, perfect lawn. And dandelions have edible leaves so it is like a salad growing in your yard.
