Well Made and Useful
I find this tool to be thorough in removing weeds all the way to the tap root, however,the operation leaves your lawn with a 2 wide by 5" deep hole. The tool is well constructed, with a comfortable ash handle, if kept out of the weather it should last a life time." -
Dandelion's Bane
For years I used Grandpa's Weeder, but had problems getting the taproots; they're really long with mature dandelions. With this tool I've pulled foot + taproots. There is a bit of a learning curve on placing the tool, you have to properly center it over the dandelion. The best time to use this is after it's rained, so the soil is soft and pulls easily. I find that I have to kneel down to really locate the center of the dandelion, so the short handle is actually a plus, as well as allowing for a full body pull when removing the plug of soil from the ground. I'm very pleased with this tool, and would recommend it for anyone dealing with weeds with long taproots.April 2014 Rate & Review Honorable Mention $50 Winner. Congratulations, John!!

Handle Not Long Enough
I would give this a five if the handle was long enough to use standing up. I like the idea and design of the tool and it is well built, but I am almost 70 years old and my knees and back don't like the short handle. Maybe you could offer a model that could be used standing up.

Thank you for your review on the Dutch Spiral Weeder. Your suggestion is a good one and we will pass it along. Thanks again. -
Great Tool
After going on vacation, I came back to an overgrown garden. Bought this weeder so could remove weeds without doing any damage. Love it! -
Nice Handle - Brittle Spiral
Undone by a dandelion tap root, this tool bent and then broke. It has a very sturdy handle, but the metal spiral is unable to deliver the promised leverage. A real disappointment.

Thanks for your feedback Ms. Condon, it was a pleasure speaking with you regarding your experience with this tool. After you explained the specifics of the failure we were able to determine that the small tag with very limited instructions were inadequate and led to the tool failure (after you spiral the tool over the weed, pull up - don't pry the weed out). Thanks to your feedback we are developing more specific instructions to be included with future shipments. Let us know how the replacement we sent works for you.
