Walensee Weeder Puller

Get this one. This tool made pulling those painful, spiky weeds so easy. It grabs the whole weed and pulls it straight out root and all which you can actually see, so you know it won’t just grow back. I’ve cleared hundreds already! It does leave a small hole, but it’s just a narrow plug and easy to step on or refill with a little soil. Totally worth it for how fast and effective it is. Saved my back from having to bend over.

We live in Wyoming where the wind blows every weed seed alive into our yard...mostly dandelions. I am 70 years old with rheumatoid arthritis in my hands and a torn rotator cuff and so was looking for something to help me at least with some of the weeds when I ordered this. I was disappointed that, due to Covid, I had to wait for the order instead of my 2-day Prime, but it was still worth the wait!. I showed the video to my husband of what I was expecting and he said, "That will be good...IF it works..." UPS delivered it that afternoon and without even opening the box I took it out to my husband who was "weed eating" the front yard. He has just had his 7th back surgery and had previously been trying to get out the dandelions with a different long handled tool, which I could see was straining his back. He took the new Walensee Stand Up Weed Puller out of the box and immediately starting using it. I really think he wanted to show me that it was a waste of my money! Surprise!! It was so easy and effective he worked for two hours straight. He was like a demon and was like a kid with a new toy. I have to say that I had thoroughly watered the yard that morning so the soil was damp to depth. The weed puller is light weight aluminum but has not bent with all of the use and pulled up dandelions, even the heavier-rooted ones of long-standing, and five or six other shallow to medium depth weeds including "bunch grass". We now (after he attacked the weeds again yesterday) have three huge black garbage bags filled with weeds. The plugs of dirt/clay which come out are "aerating" the lawn and flower bed at the same time as a bonus. Even though the tool was to be a help for me, it has turned into his "toy" and that is still helping me because he loves pulling those weeds. I do have to say that it does NOT pull up the crab grass (I call it "octopus grass" due to the long white runners it sends out in all directions.) but at least I don't have to pull ALL of the weeds anymore. I give it five starts, and just don't expect miracles against huge weeds and dry ground. Again I say get this. Be reasonable in your expectation. Water the ground THOROUGHLY and don't expect miracles on huge weeds with my poor aching hands anymore. Buy one! Have "fun" though, pulling up the annoyances. And yes, an adjustable height shaft would make it better and easier on backs, but all I can say is that it is the best money I've spent in a while! I'd buy it again in a hot minute.

I bought this because a popular home and garden publication recommended it as a "must have" garden and lawn care tool. I will say that it mostly does what it's supposed to. I was afraid it was going to be heavy and awkward to use, but it's very light and no effort at all to maneuver eith ine hand. I spent about 20 minutes going around my yard with this gadget in one hand and a 5 gallon bucket in the other. After 20 minutes, the pail was 3/4 full of weeds, far faster than I could have done it crawling around on my hands and knees. It works on dandelions, plantain, and many other weeds. Spreading weeds like spurge, creeping Charlie, and cinqfoil are a little tougher to tackle with thus tool, but it does work. The only real issue is with large dandelions (more than 5" in diameter), it can be hard to tell exactly where the center of the plant is, and so multiple attempts may be needed to grab the root. On weeds with a deep tap root, it also tends to break the root off at about the depth of the prongs. And with about 10% of the dandelions, it didnt break the root off and I had to bend down and pull it by hand. Still, definitely a good product that I'm sure I'll be using a lot this spring and summer.

This thing works amazingly well! I get a lot of wild grass coming in between my flowers and I can’t pull it out for the life of me. And you poke this thing in and twist it and pull a plug of dirt and grass/weeds out in one. It’s super easy and it’s durable and works really well!

I don't write a lot of reviews but when a product far exceeds my expectations I will. THIS GADGET IS WONDERFUL!! It pulls weeds and roots with minimal effort------ no stooping, bending or hands and knees work!

I wanted to try the Walensee weed puller to compare to Grandpa's weed puller which I previously purchased from Amazon. Grandpa's is considerably better with any soil condition. Whereas the Walensee doesnt work well when the soil is slightlt to moderately moist! I do like that I can push the pulled weed off the tool by just pushing a lever. However, the primary need (pulling the entire weed plus entire root) doesn't perform as well in any soil type as Grandpa's weeder! Too many times a good portion of root was left. I've tried to reinsert and try again but that doesn't work most times. So, yes, I have to manually slide the extracted weed/root off Grandpa's weeder. But, at least I get everything in one try. It's definitely worth the one extra step of sliding the weed off the tool! So, the Walensee is ok. It's just not as good as Grandpa's weeder. Ok. So I'm updating the review I just wrote (didn't send it yet). The Walensee is actually a really great welder. Especially because of the ability to push the extracted root of the tool bt pressing the lever! After the soil in our yard dried just a little, it worked great! It pulled out the entire weed/root. There were still times that I had to try again. But not too often.

This is everything I hoped it would be. Good quality materials, good value, and it works like a charm. Stick the prongs in the middle of a week or dandelion, twist it a few times, pull it out by the roots, and drop it from the weeder with the push of a button. It's rare to have things work as they should and actually make your life easier, but this does. Highly recommend.

I bought this product after watching some demo videos, but wasn't 100% sure it was going to work as well as the demos. To my surprise the product actually works exactly as advertised. The only thing I would be cautious of is that the handle is made of plastic and riveted to an aluminum shaft. I'm worried that the plastic will become brittle after some time and could snap off as you're constantly torquing the handle to twist out the weeds. I would also not recommend using the foot lever. If the ground is too hard, pressing down on one side with your leg only causes the shaft to bow out, and not really drive straight down. For harder dirt surfaces I recommend just leaning forward and having your body weight push the device down into the ground. The only other possible concern is that this leaves 1" by 3" deep holes on your lawn. I'm not a professional gardener, so I don't know if that's good or bad for your lawn, but just something to be aware of.

Great tool that actually gets to the root! Bought this in 2023 and it’s still going strong. It saves so much bending down, which makes a huge difference when you’ve a lot of weeds to get through. It grabs the weed properly and pulls the whole root out, not just the top, so they don’t grow back. Simple to use, surprisingly effective, and genuinely makes weeding quicker and easier.

This is a fantastic tool for removing weeds and dandelions; at the root . Weeding is usually backbreaking work: but this tool allows you to quickly pop them up out of the ground within seconds, and actually makes weeding a little bit enjoyable . It does leave holes in the grass / ground when the roots are removed but they’re quickly covered with grass with a few stomps. I highly recommend this weed remover. It’s sturdy, simple to use and brings great satisfaction when you see the pile of weeds you can unearth within minutes . I wouldn’t hesitate to gift this or buy it again. Definitely a 5 star gardening necessity.

a prima vista sembra fragile ma in realtà non soffre di particolari problemi, con un minimo di pratica si ottengono buoni risultati e si riescono ad estirpare diverse tipologie di infestanti. unico neo, dopo la carotatura resta il buco da riempire con un pò di terriccio

This is one off the best devices ever. It makes it fun to dig up dandelions. Works perfectly and is solidly made. Thank you to whomever invented this. I love you! 😍
