"The kind of weeds I use it (Weed Twister) on are many different kinds.? We have clay soil in many places, which makes it difficult to get out roots that are tightly bound in the soil.? So if I tried to pull out the weeds with or without gloves on, only the top of the weed would remove.? With the tool, the whole root comes out. This helps weed abatement rather than having the roots continue to grow larger and stronger and pop out a new top sprout.???
We get crab grass, clumps of fescue grass, thorny ferns (which is
nice not to have to touch them to get them out) and dandelions.?
Other weeds are not identifiable, but weeds just the same.? I have
tried the hula hoe, but it seemed to only get the tops of many weeds.?
The weed twister also is convenient because it elevates (sic) having to
bend so far or kneel to pull out the weed."

"I've used the Weed Twister for the final two months of the
dandelion season here in the Boston area. I suffer from a condition that
leaves me with little energy for common activities, so it was such a
pleasure to discover the Weed Twister. It only takes one easy twist to
remove an entire dandelion plant, so moving over my lawn clearing it of dandelions,
plantain, and other low-growing weeds is now more than just a
fanciful idea.
I have recommended and bought Weed Twisters for several of my friends, who
also enjoy using them."

"... I got it yesterday, and have already de-dandelioned my
front yard! :-) That is a really cool invention you have there.??
At the same time you are weeding, you are also aireating (sic).? I
was also able to havest (sic) several small tree seedlings, that were
coming up in my yard, to replant in pots.
It pulls up a plug of soil with the root, (well it did for me because our
soil is clayish and wet these days) so that I could just pop it into a pot."

"For most of February and early March the rains came beating
down.? The garden plants drank heartily and weeds of all kinds drank greedily.?
The weeds grew huge with roots 6" long and big around as a green
thumb.
But alas!? The weeds were no match for my Weed Twister.
PS A really good product."

"I put the Weed Twister to work the day I received it.? I removed some 3 ft. tall weeds that were growing up against my porch - all while standing on my porch! I twisted away and removed about 20 weeds. My only problem now is that I am fresh out of weeds! I guess I'll just have to wait for the 'new crop' to come in!
Also, I am 5'-6" tall, and I am very glad that I bought the 42" Weed Twister. The smaller one would have been too small for me to use comfortably. Yet, 5'-6" would not be considered a "taller person" for a man. So, you might want to be more specific in your height/tool recommendations.
Thanks for a great product that works as described. I hope to
avoid using products like Roundup, especially since I completely killed
a mature shrub while using Roundup on some weeds near its trunk."

Editor's Note:? Dan's second purchase was also an upgrade from the 36-inch model to two of? the 42-inch models.
"I got the weed twister today and I put it to work immediately. It worked as I hoped it would. I hope this will last for years. It is the only thing I have found to get rid of the tough weeds in my lawn without killing the grass or digging a hole. I will spread the word about your great product. I now have a large garbage can full of crabgrass (I think that's what it is). "

I recently purchased a Weed
Twister and have not had a chance to use it on the really tough
weeds in the yard of my AZ house but today I extracted a small palm
tree with it in Reseda, CA!? I am a utility pole inspector and there was a baby
palm growing at the base of a pole. I used the Twister around the
base at several locations to loosen the soil, aimed for a stout
branch and twisted the tree right out.

Thanks!! "

Editor's note: Don should be recognized as an inventive tool-user who figured out a way to pull out a larger plant than the usual Weed Twister target!? Well done!
I got it (Weed Twister) 2 days ago...I used it yesterday...works
great!! Nice concept...wish I would've thought of it!! The design is
simple and effective but you should lengthen the claws about an inch or
so to get down farther in the soil. I bought the Garden Weasel
first...because this isn't available in stores...that was a
mistake...the claws started bending out of shape immediately, so I had
to bend them back...plus it makes big 5" holes in the lawn and you have
to repack the soil after use...not like your product! I bet you've made
a bundle on this huh?

Editor's note: Ty will soon learn that this tool can twist and dig
deeper than 12 inches, more than any other tool of this class. See the
Deep Hole Test on the Weed Twister Quick Tips page.
The Weed Twister is a fantastic product. I also ordered the
handle extension which makes it even easier to use. Friends and family
looked at me skeptically when I told them about it, but they have since
tried it and now agree with me that it is a great tool.

After (finally) receiving the small weed twister, I am happy to say
thank you for a unique product which I have used frequently. I live
geographically in a very gravelly part of Wisconsin due to its glacial
origins. The weed twister has proved itself as an indispensable tool for
those invasive species that HAVE to be removed before they go to seed. I
must admit that it is not a fast process, but I am getting more
efficient and find it is worth the extra effort to remove the entire
weed, to prevent re growth. I will keep it close by on my hikes and
forays, and continue my never ending job of invasive species control
with new confidence.

Wonderful product...I use it to pull up poison ivy without having to
touch it.

Editor's Note: Sue purchased the 42-inch Weed Twister. The longer
handle keeps her at a safer distance from poison ivy.
