Walensee Weeder Puller

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've used the heck out of this thing. It's very user friendly and can be used one-handed if you've got enough dexterity. My initial thoughts were that it looks flimsy, but after some use it seems like it'll last for years. I even get my young son to go out and pluck weeds out. Very light and easy to use. 10/10

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.

The Walensee Weed Puller, Stand Up Weeder is a game-changer for anyone looking to remove weeds without bending, kneeling, or using harsh chemicals. This tool makes weeding effortless and efficient, saving time and energy while keeping your lawn or garden neat. One of the standout features is the ergonomic, stand-up design. The long handle allows you to pull weeds while standing, which significantly reduces strain on your back and knees. This makes it an ideal tool for anyone, especially those who want a more comfortable gardening experience. The handle is sturdy and lightweight, so it’s easy to maneuver without feeling heavy after extended use. In terms of performance, the Walensee Weeder excels at grabbing weeds right at the root. The sharp, claw-like prongs dig deep into the soil, grabbing the entire root system, which helps ensure the weeds won’t grow back. It works well on various types of weeds, from dandelions to tougher, more stubborn ones. Simply push the prongs into the ground, twist, and pull—the weed comes out cleanly, roots and all. Another great feature is the foot pedal, which gives you extra leverage when removing tougher weeds, making the process even easier. Once you’ve pulled the weed, the ejector button releases it without getting your hands dirty. Overall, the Walensee Stand Up Weeder is an excellent tool for gardeners of all levels. It’s effective, easy to use, and makes weeding much more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a hassle-free way to remove weeds and protect your lawn, this weeder is a must-have. Highly recommended!

Works great, easy for my 80yold mother to use.

It's OK. Solid. Does the job. But it's a lot simpler to just get weed gloves, put on knee pads, and get down and pull weeds by hand or with a trowel.

I tried my son's, then ordered my own. Easy to use for hours at a time. Doesn't wear you out. Makes weeding so much easier. No bending or pulling. Durable. I recommend.

Love this tool. Light weight, easy to use. And easy to get weed out of the tool after you pull the weed from the ground. I had surgery and can no longer bend over so this tool is perfect. I wish I would've had this tool before surgery.

This is without a doubt my best ever Amazon purchase, maybe my best purchase ever. It is so quick and easy to remove weeds, it removes even big thick, deeply embedded roots in seconds. My garden has been overrun with weeds and within an hour they were all gone! I was worried I wouldn't be strong enough to push it into the ground but the tool literally does all the work for you, it's so easy to use. I would buy this 100x over, it's sturdy and well made for a great price.

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

Sin duda es una excelente herramienta para quitar hierba mala, muy práctica e incluso adictiva. Sumamente recomendable.

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! 😍
