This old school weed puller works well and we have to say it certainly feels like the most durable of all the garden weed pullers we’ve tested.

The Newer model is basically stronger and more durable at pulling and holding weeds. And it shows, it’s rated half a star higher at 4.5 now as opposed to the old one that was only 4.Weed pullers are designed to be placed over the weeds and dug into the ground and finally levered up pulling the weed out with the device. Weed pullers are favoured by the professional gardeners and landscapes because the weed is pulled out completely with the root attached and leaves minimal damage, if any to the lawn. of reviewers gave the Fiskars weed puller a score of 1 or 2 stars out of 5, which is fairly low compared to similar garden tools.

This tool can be used for sawing, digging plugs, measuring, shovelling and even opening bottles! It has handy measurements which means planting bulbs accurately is much easier, and I’m confident it would do most of these jobs very well. But we’re here to talk about its ability to remove weeds. I tested this tool in my raised beds, as it was compact enough to get to the weeds in between the plants. The majority of weed pullers currently on the market offer the foot peddle, although some are much harder to squeeze than others.

Fiskars 339950-1001 Lightweight Root Grabbing Weeder

Garden weeders save you pulling your hair out, there’s nothing worse than having spent hours working on creating and shaping your professional looking garden and seeing the lawn, boarders or flower beds sprouting irritating weeds. Just pulling out the weeds by hand or with a grubber might be your first port of call. However, this will just become an endless cycle of pulling weeds far too regularly. A garden weeder should feel good in the hand and be made from quality steel while having no problems cutting through soil. With that in mind, I have reviewed the best garden weeders to save you time. Whilst it’s easy to cover a large area with these weeding tools, and they’re particularly good to use in flowerbeds and vegetable patches, they can’t really be used in hard ground and need to be used in toiled soil. This weed puller is okay at pulling out individual weeds, but if you have clusters of weeds competing for the same small area, it may struggle as the claws don’t work as effectively when pressed into the void left by the previous weed. It Will Leave Holes in Your Lawn

If you’ve not got a huge budget for your garden tools, I’d recommend the Garden Tools Multifunctional Manual Weeder . This multifunctional tool can be used for a range of gardening tasks, and the compact size means it’s very easy to store. The multifunctionality also makes it by far the best value for money of all the tools I’ve recommended.Almost everyone wants a long handled weed puller – this is because you have additional leverage, and can take advantage of the fact you use your legs, not just hands and wrist – which is what you’re limited to when using a hand grubber. The best long handled weed puller in my opinion is the Fiskars Xact Weed Puller. This is so much easier than hand weeding that I would dare to call it addictive. So what use do you actually have for a hand weeder? Some of the best weeding tools will let you pull tough weeds out by the root, often working even on well-established, deep-rooted weeds like dandelions. Others will be more effective on smaller weeds. In addition to the gloves, you may also want to wear a hat with an extended brim while you weed to protect your face from the sun’s UV rays.
