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 sturdy, will probably last forever, I would like for the end to be more pointed/sharper

Nice little set to keep in my garden shed. Easy to use, handles are comfortable and the right length, weight comfortable and not heavy, tools plenty sharp.

This makes pulling up those pesky dandelions a breeze! My yard is covered in them, and they are rooted so deeply that they are impossible to pull out without breaking them up into pieces. With the Fiskar tool it sinks into the soil and makes it easy to grab the entire root and pull it up. It it extremely durable and well made.

As someone who does a lot of weeding for my occupation, this tool has become incredibly handy. It's exceptionally well-built compared to other weeders I've used. It feels comfortable in the hands, and its design makes it easy to pry out roots from the base. This is an excellent tool to have in your arsenal if you do a lot of gardening.

Just the right combination of tools for quick gardening needs. Top quality Fiskars throughout, sharp, well balanced, and ergonomic grips. I tend to lose my gardening tools but these are plenty bright and easy to see, even in tall grass. Love this addition to my tool caddy!
