Good for weed removal
Date: September 5, 2009
"This is a decent weed removal tool. It prevents you from having to bend over in any way. You simply press the head into the ground and use leverage to pivot the fulcrum and the weeds just pull right out.
The only issue is the difficulty in controlling how big of a hole you make. Unless you slide the jaws manually there really is no other way to control how big of a hole you make in the ground. And because this thing really is efficient, you can have a pretty big hole if you don't watch what you're doing."

Poor Quality, great Concept
Date: June 2, 2009
"Got this for fathers day in 2008. Plastic broke before summer even got started in 2009. Canadian Tire will replace even though my wife couldn't find the receipt...but they are all out. Still, getting it replaced for free is great! Just wish it was more durable. I would pay for a more durable product as when this was not broken...it was an amazing way to quickly and effectively deal with weeds and not hurt the back"

Works great, but not Durable!
Date: May 21, 2009
"This product is very good at pulling weeds, although the handle could be longer to save your back.
Unfortunately the design isn't very durable. The foot stand is made of plastic and the levering action used to pull the weeds causes considerable force on it where it connects to the teeth. After using mine for two summers the plastic cracked and broke at the teeth. I can't see this not happening until they make the whole thing from aluminum."

Who knew pulling weeds could feel so good?
Date: May 17, 2009
"Our lawn was infested with dandelions and thistles. This tool made quick work of both and was actually enjoyable to use. It may seem silly, but seeing a big fat root dangling from the weed you just pulled is very rewarding.
Additionally, most of the holes that were made were much smaller than I thought they would be given other reviews on this site. I still had a few large ones (naturally in areas with large or multiple weeds) but the majority are hardly noticeable and I expect they will fill in naturally in no time."

Great Until it Breaks
Date: May 9, 2009
"I love this tool when it is not broken. I bought my first weed remover two years ago and now my second one has broken so I am on my way back to return it for a third. I must admit this tool works very well but I am becoming frustrated with its poor durability."

amazing product
Date: February 21, 2009
"This product is a life saver you could removing weeds all day and not get tired. I does leave some holes in the soil after you have removed the weeds, I drop in some grass seeds as I am pulling weeds to help the hole fill in faster. It's not so good if there are allot of rocks on your land as the grippers tend to grab the rocks instead of the weeds.
Worth every dollar"
Review 8 for Fiskars Stand-up Weeder
great environmetallly friendly solution
Date: September 28, 2008
"This beats a screwdriver or a coat hanger for chemical free lawn maintenance. It is simple to use, easy on your back, and best of all no blisters. It really gets the whole root, sometimes longer than 6 inches deep, with very little effort. The hands free removal is a nice touch."

Works well - Until it Breaks
Date: June 10, 2008
"As many others have stated, this item works well. There are two things that you may wish to know: first off it makes fairly large "golf ball sized" holes where the weed once was; the other is that at the hinge this tool has a weak plastic hinge which once broken, the handle seperates from the mechanics at the bottom. The good news to this is that it has a 25 year warranty so the only downside to this is that you may get to know the people at the customer service counter by name."

"A must have"
Date: June 4, 2008
"This Fiskars stand-up weeder is a fabulous invention. My stand-up weeder never lets me down. People stand around and watch me terminate the weeds. It's great, I don't know what I ever did without it. This is one of the best purchases I have ever made for my yard. In a time when it's become so bad to use pesticides, I can still have a weed free lawn with the Fiskars stand-up weeder."

Super Time Saver
Date: June 4, 2008
"I used to hire a company to organicly spray my lawn for weeds. Now the whole family fights over getting their turn weeding with the Fiskars Stand-up Weeder. Once the weeds are gone, their gone. This is my second year using it and I find that there are fewer this year than last."

"I broke my first one on the first day using it, but as always Canadian Tire gave me a new one. This one has stood up to the rest of my lawn and has work great, not a dadilion or thistle in sight."

Outstanding product
Date: June 3, 2008
"I had purchased another product (weed dog?) that was poorly made and broke within a few days. Purchased this product and found it to be superior in every way. Much less effort and better results each and every time. It is built solidly and mine carries a 25 year warranty. Can't beat that!"

it actually works!
Date: June 3, 2008
"Most of these "breakthrough" products don't live up to their hype, but this one actually works! For the most part, it lifted out the weed and most of the root.
In very sandy soil, it did sometimes just slip off and pull up nothing, and in very heavy clay (yes, I have both extremes!) it sometimes only gets a small part of the root, but in moderate soil, it seemed to get most of the root up with the plant.

It leaves holes in the lawn, but this serves as aeration, so it's a good thing!
Overall, I was impressed."
