Until proven otherwise I would say you have been seduced by some slick advertising.  Not on my Christmas list.

The dandelions he pulls up from his lawn are of a reasonable size. So I reckon you may have to wait more than one season for the pleasure of removing it with the weed puller thingy. Do you really want to grow a weed to that size just to validate owning such a machine that will spend most of its time collecting cobwebs in the shed? Not on my shopping list

would love to see the one invented for maretail that would be quite something   :blink:
i wont be buying this one either

[Lardman]

Id like to see him try that here ! I couldn't even get a fork in yesterday standing on it.

It also look like it just snaps off the root 2 inches below ground level, you'd do just as well with a large kitchen knife.

[mumofstig]

you might as well use a daisy grubber 

[twissle]

Anyone no how much they cost?.

[ex-cavator]

I guess it'd be fine if all dandelion / dock roots were straight as a die, perfectly tapered, unbranched, and no longer than the jaws of the tool. Oh, and you used a spirit level to ensure you lined it up perfectly with the root (I might contact the manfacturers to suggest they incorporate one  ).

They could also do one with 3 metre jaws for japanese knotweed 

Not on my list either

I'd like to try one before making any comment, but any garden tool that saves a person from having to bend over, gets a tick in my book.

[arugula]

I agree with Gwiz and add that it looks like a great tool, hopefully not too good to be true.

£38.99 from Amazon and does seem to be available from a range of large DIY outlets too.

bulb planter works just as well, been using mine for ages, push down pull up, seperate soil etc the fill hole again.

My Wolf weed-grubber (a birthday present!) is useless as a weeder as far as I'm concerned, but I lent it to my neighbour who said it was great for planting industrial quantities of bulbs in his lawn!  

(As Lardman says, I can't see how this new tool can not break off tap roots like dandelion, although I suppose you can at least do "half the job" standing up rather than on hands and knees!)

Seconded.
Daisys , dandys and plantain all come out with a grubber.

[Chris Bromwell]

I have one of these weed puller they are fantastic.  I used to get bad back ache but not any longer with this little beauty!

[smud6ie]
