I like the looks of this tool. It's comfortable, and the handle lets you get a lot of leverage. It's nice in loose garden soil, but it's not sturdy enough for compacted soil. I bent mine soon after I started using it on the dandelions in my lawn.

UPDATE: I made use of the warranty and got a new one. I've been more careful with it and it's performing well. I'd give it a couple more stars now, but I can't seem to change that part of my review.

Dandilions, thistle, even clover are no match for this amazing tool. Throw away the standard forked tongue weeder you find everywhere and buy this. You can weed all day and not get sore and tired hands. Just insert the blade along the root and rock back the handle. You will usually hear the root "pop" and most of the time, the whole root will easily pull from the ground intact. Makes quick work of a never-ending chore.

Great design, you can work all day and not hurt you hands. Regular garden tools seem so primitive when you get used to these.

I know some people have bent them, but I think this is because it is so easy to get good leverage on them that people do not realize how much force they are putting on them. Use a little common sense, they are well made but they are not crowbars. The blade and the handle are one piece of metal so no problems with handles coming loose or breaking.

The only bad thing I can say is they take up more room in a toolbox because of the curved handles. But well worth the space.

I have the whole set of hand tools, plus 2 shovels and a pitchfork. All great. Truly, the next step in garden tools.

Was digging up some bulbs and sure enough it is shaped like a bananna now.

I liked the long design of the weeder specifically for dandelions and their deep roots. After a few hours of using the tool and liking the effectiveness of the weeder, I attempted to remove a dandelion from a location along a concrete curb. I sunk the blade in the soil and use the concrete as a leverage point. The metal blade snapped and broke off in the ground. Darn! Well it was great for a few hours.

This tool was very useful and had great ergonomics. Unfortunatley, the light weight came at a great cost -- it broke within the first few weeks of ownership. It helped me weed out about 100 dandelions before it snapped violently in slightly stiff soil.

The Radius Natural Grip Weeder is a light sturdy and inexpensive garden weeder. Its use speeds the process of digging out roots with ease. I like it alot better than hori hori. The lime green padded handle is very comfortable in your hands and makes the tool hard to loose in foliage.

I love this weeder! Very aggressive, but doesn't damage surrounding plants. I have not had any problems with it bending or breaking. Have given several to friends as gifts. Would be lost without it.

The tip broke the very first time I used it. About 1 1/2 inches broke off the end of the tool in the dirt. Tool still works, but the lightweight metal is too lightweight for any serious weeding. Very disappointed!

The curved ergonomic grip allows excellent leverage when digging. I could apply much stronger force without stressing out my wrists and forearm as in traditional straight grips.
