Grampas Weeder CW 01 Original Remover Reviews Summary

Ease of Use

Pros:

• "This is going to make yard work much easier and save our backs!"
• "No bending at all. Lifts out weeds by the root with no effort."
• "Grampa’s Weeder pulls the entire root up with ease."
• "No bending over, just place it at the center of the weed and push into the ground and lift out."
• "It's so easy my kids can use it and I may end up buying more just so we can get more weeds out at a time."
• "This tool is easy to use and really digs up dandelions."
• "It's great and very sturdy; heavy wooden handle but beautifully smooth (no splinters, cheap plastic/metal), cast iron prong mechanism to dig-in and clasp the weed."

Cons:

• "Also, if the soil is moist the root/dirt clod gets stuck and has to be manually extracted."
• "Charging a premium price for this thing so I expected more convenience."
• "I have not yet found an effective way to clear the tines of debris between clumps without pulling the root out of the tines by hand."
• "It is a lot more work than just pulling by hand and only does very short root."
• "It just doesn’t go deep enough and all it does is pull up dirt."
• "It wasn’t easy to use on gravel to remove weeds. And it basically didn’t work."
• "The box they sent could have held a body it was so big."

Design and Construction

Pros:

• "It’s is very well designed and constructed."
• "I like the packaging that it came in so that it wasn’t going to get broken in the journey."
• "Over all look is sturdy but the handle, as written by others, is weak."
• "All of the black parts are metal. The handle seems very sturdy and well coated."
• "It's a solid tool and will last a very long time, easy to use and does the job."
• "Sturdy, well made, and very functional."
• "Made with high-quality materials like steel and hardwood, Grampa's Weeder is built to last."

Cons:

• "I just hope the extended pry bar doesn't break."
• "Poorly secured handle, it came out so I use epoxy to secure it... been good for several years so far."
• "It might work better if the forks were longer, and if there were ridges across the forks to help grip."
• "The tool broke after the 5th use, inferior metal quality."
• "The screw holding the metal part to the wooden part came out while using it and the thing came apart into pieces."
• "I haven't looked close enough to see if the handle can be replaced, but the one that came with it broke on its second use."
• "The metal piece that acts as a lever seems a bit wobbly but so far so good."

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "The weeds quickly and easily came out of the yard along with their super long roots!"
• "It does exactly what it claims it will do."
• "If you center the prongs exactly over the middle of the weed, it pulls the entire weed out, including the root."
• "In seconds, these deeply infested rooted weeds were gone!"
• "Grampa's Weeder works great at getting up the weeds all the way down to the root."
• "It worked great on dandelions and the large-rooted weeds we had."
• "Works perfectly to remove weeds without removing a lot of dirt."

Cons:

• "Doesn't work on all weeds, but that's more the fault of the weed."
• "It's also prone to pulling up dirt with the weed."
• "It does NOT work on fat roots."
• "For most, only part of the root came out."
• "It might make sense for someone with bad knees."
• "Does not work on hard scape areas with loose gravel or rock."
• "It does not work where there is one root and the weed has several shoots off from that."
