5.0 out of 5 stars Good for weeding small areas, December 9, 2009

This weeder has a comfortable grip and does a pretty good job with popping up individual weeds. The metal ring is good for scraping off some short-rooted weeds, but overall, since you need to be on your hands and knees to use this tool, it's best for spot-weeding small areas. In a pinch, a trowel works just as well, but this weeder won't leave as large of a hole in your garden! I'm glad I bought it, I use it all gardening season, and it's a great tool for gardeners to have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable, sure, but also effective, April 24, 2009

I am a big fan of Oxo products of all sorts, but not just because of comfortable handles. Most, like this weeder, also reflect an improvement in function. The funny-looking oval welded to the handle provides excellent leverage at just the right spot for getting out most weeds. I say most because mature dandelions have roots that extend beyond the reach of this tool. Once you understand that (and have a longer tool available), this device does a great job. Although it is not a problem I have, I imagine this would be a God-send for those with weaknesses in hands and wrists.

When my wife Cheryl first got me one I looked at it and thought, smile and say thank you. Once I used it the thank you was genuine. In the Phoenix, Arizona area the soil is hard and tough on tools like these. The point on the OXO Weeder stays sharp, unlike similar tools I have had. The odd looking attached oval gives great leverage for digging out weeds. The shaft has not bent, like similar tools I have had in the past. Best hand weeder I have had!
