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.

Great tool for dandilions and the like. A little larger ahd heavier than the one I used to have (and lost), but it works.

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.

It’s quite a simple mechanism so what’s to say….other than it works and is durable. It won’t bend even in the driest of soil.
