 Good, but not perfect May 24, 2010
By S. Tollefson
This weeder works quite well, especially in soft soil where a more basic weeding knife can't get enough leverage. It does not get in as deeply as one would like, however, and leaves too much root in the ground. Dandelions and other tap-rooted weeds can re-sprout pretty readily. The main problem is that the metal is not hard enough and the fork part bends out of shape too easily when working around stones or pavers. You can bend or hammer it back into shape but it becomes even more bend-prone thereafter. A longer blade and tougher steel would make it a much better tool.
 Pretty well made Apr 03, 2012
By Harry
I've used the tool a few times now, and it seems to be sturdy enough. Should last a number of years without having to be too fussy. The tool is sometimes difficult to push into the ground.
I bought it to pull dandelions, and this tool probably won't do the job very well. I've read that if even a small portion of the root of the dandelion is left in the ground, it will grow back. About the only way you can get the whole root of the dandelion with this tool is if the dandelion is fairly young with a short root. Roots more than 5 inches are hard to get, though sometimes I get a root 8 inches. But that isn't often. Best to do after a rain when the ground is soft.
Maybe with practice I will learn how to get more of the root, but I don't really think this is the tool to do a good job on dandelions.
I've been told the only way to handle dandelions is with weed killer.
 Weeder with levearge bar Jun 10, 2011
By Ruth
Very happy with this gardening tool. It is very easy to work with. And it does a great job. I had to have this tool because my girlfriend had one and raved about it. It really gets the roots out.
Amazing weeder May 06, 2010
By B. Nguyen
I purchased a Bond weeder tool last week and used it the first time today. I was amazed at how a 9 dollar tool could do such a wonderful job. It takes 5 minutes to master the technique and it will save you a lot of time. It will pull weeds from the root up. Every home owner should get one of these.
Best weeding tool Jan 21, 2010
By tommcg
My wife liked this weeding tool so much that she bought two for us and two more as gifts. It's great for pulling weeds from our lawn.
