Comments about UpRoot® Weed and Root Remover:
Loved this from the first dig! It's easy to use, digs those dandelion roots deep down. I look forward to continual use. So far, the use has been limited and I'm hoping it holds up as well as other Fischar products I have purchased.

Comments about UpRoot® Weed and Root Remover:
It is almost fun to pull weeds! The product works best on small weeds in moist soil. It doesn't get the tap root on large clumps, but the "shotgun" style release of the weeds almost make up for having to return to the "scene of the crime" multiple times. When it gets the tap root of a youngish dandelion it is so satisfying.

Comments about UpRoot® Weed and Root Remover:
I bought this after hearing about it on Pinterest. It is so fun and easy to use. Just put the stick over the dandelion, step on the bar and pull back. The dandelion can then be dropped in a bucket and it is done. So fast and efficient I'm glad I found it.
Fiskars makes a durable product. I love the scissors and other products they make. This one has a metal handle and metal "teeth" that grab the weed. The only plastic part is the step and the little part that allows the dandelion to be pushed off the tool.
Previous reviews talked about how addictive it can be. I understand totally how that happens.

Comments about UpRoot® Weed and Root Remover:
I have a large front garden and spent a fraction of the time I usually do getting rid of the spring crop of weeds. And it was kinda fun. I have arthritis and this was definitely the way to go. My only suggestion is to make the release grip a little longer so you don't have to reach as far down the handle.

Thistles still there!

Comments about UpRoot® Weed and Root Remover:
It is a great weeder, fast, efficient (even for nutgrass), takes less effort and you can weed a larger area in the same time as by hand. This weeder will work well for senior citizens, even for those with disabilities. Have only had it for a short while so can't comment on how durable it is, but it seems to be well made.
