I never thought I'd pay $30 for a weed puller but, having tried a few cheaper types of weeding tools, I figured I had to do something. Frankly, I was so skeptical that I didn't throw the box out or even remove the attached instruction card -- so convinced was I that I would be returning it.
Well, I have been using it for the last couple of days and I am so pleased with it I've just ordered another one (so my spouse can get out there and pull those *$@#*(&@#_ weeds too!).
Okay, I can't say that I had FUN exactly, but I have to admit I was almost happy to find another dandelion or thistle just for the sheer joy of pulling it up without the slightest effort. It successfully yanked up large-rooted weeds in my lawn area, in a bare soil area and in a section covered in wood chips (although the wood chips proved harder to remove from the tines).
You have to position the tool carefully over the center of the weed (although if don't, it's no big deal, you just give it another shot). And yes, it doesn't pull up the entire tap root (you'd need three sticks of dynomite to do that) but it gets up enough of the root mass that it's doubtful the darned thing will grow again.
I highly recommend this tool and I feel that, despite its high initial cost, it can definitely save money on less effective tools or -- heaven forbid -- chemical herbicides!

I got one of these over a year ago. For the first 8 months, it was a joy to use. It is one of the easiest to handle weed pullers I've ever owned (I have at least 6 at any one time).
Well, it got a lot of use for the first 5 months. The last of those five months, I noticed that the 'weed eject' function wasn't quite so smooth as before, and it took a light kick on the lever arm to release weeds. Still, it worked.
Winter came and went, and I've been plucking weeds like mad for the last month. Today, my Uproot weeder cracked at the base of the nylon surround for one of the 4 metal blades. It does not appear to be a repairable fault.
I don't know if this is typical or not, but it's increasingly hard to find these -- and Fiskars has a new model out, with only one blade that seems to work fairly well (I have one of these also). It could be that they quietly dropped the model because of a breakage problem.

What a fantastic product the Uproot Weeder has turned out to be: a great time and effort saver! It is sturdy, well-designed, and easy to use. Half an hour of work and my back yard is not unlike a touch-and-go alien landing site. We are not talking divots: we are talking holes [apparently huge weeds have huge roots]. But weeds: you are my b****es; I smite you with my Q-38 Explosive Space Modulating Fiskar UpRoot Weeder! My only worry now is criminals falling in the holes without punji sticks and suing me. That and the aliens returning. But holy object of undetermined authenticity is that thing making short-work of these weedy interlopers! Record time and record lack of soreness. Not that I actually keep records of such things. Certainly not quantifiable records. Regardless, definitely the best money I've spent on yard maintenance tools.

Works well but could be improved
Pros:
- Does a great job of getting the whole root. I've pulled up six inches or more of root where pulling by hand the root breaks off. Read more
