I can’t say enough wonderful things about the weed hound. I first bought was as a gift. Then when our yard had a dandelion problem (it is fantastic for other weeds too) I borrowed it from the person I gave it to. Then I didn’t want to give it back. All of my neighbors were laughing at the 9 month pregnant women out there battling weeds with the contraption. But it worked. The next year we had much fewer. It is simple to use just center over weed, step, twist, pull out weed and pop it off. My arm gets a small tired sometimes if I am doing a lot of weeds but now that I finally bought my own I can take my time. Certainly worth the price and no more weed killer to buy!

The Weed Hound is all steel and is very well-made. The (few) moving parts are heavy-duty and two seasons of use have failed to hurt it, beyond wearing the paint off the parts that really penetrate the ground. It has the added advantage of leaving a tidy small aeration hole in the soil every time you pop out a weed. Just place, step, twist/pull and the weed is extracted, with all or most of the root. It generally works better on broadleaf weeds than on stuff like crabgrass that have spreading root systems but you can’t beat it for dandelions.
And it’s made in the USA.

I just bought this tool today and had to try it out in the yard as soon as I got home. This thing is incredible. You can pull about 50 weeds in 10 minutes. I had 2 people stop and question me what it was as I was using it. After I showed them how it pulls weeds effortlessly, they both questioned me where I bought it so that they could buy one. After you pull the weed, the ergonomic plunger handle at the top is fun to pop with the palm of your hand to launch the weed to the growing pile of weeds you’ve extracted. I don’t reckon I’ve ever been quite so satisfied with a tool of any kind. This is one product that really lives up to every claim made by the manufacturer . . . a must have for every homeowner.

I got this from the local home improvement store to help on a handfull of weeds. This really works well on crabgrass and pulls out the roots–at least better than hunching over and pulling (and tugging) them out by hand (then, to find out that you didn’t remove any of roots will all the straining).
This device lets you place it on top of the root of the weed, then step down to penetrate and grasp. With some turning (much turning in some of the larger crab grass) and pulling, I was surprised to pull out 6″ of roots from a problem crab grass cluster on my neighbor’s lawn bordering my own. (it probably takes more effort to bend over to try to pull manually than it is to use this weeder to twist and pull.)
I cannot imagine how to achieve similar results without having a shovel and remove much more dirt than needed.
One thing that you need to watch out for is if you have to pull out a large cluster of crab grass, you may want to get some soil available to patch up the area. This device removes a small amount of dirt while clasping the roots. (not really an issue for most weeds, but if you have a large crab grass cluster of 3-5, I have found having a handfull of soil to level out the small holes is helpfull.)

This weeder works well. One advantage is being able to weed from an upright position which saves you from hunching down
all day. Most of the time, the entire root system is removed.

This is the best thing for weeds I’ve ever used. We have those thorny ancient thistles all over the place. They grow to 36: in diameter and have such nasty spines they cut right through gloves. The Weed Hound dispatches them with ease. I place the prongs right into the heart of the thistle, pull the whole thing out and pop it into the tip bin without ever having to touch the darn thing. Bought one for my brother and he likes his too. I’ve lost mine somewhere on these 5 acres, so I’m ordering a new one. If I find the ancient one, I’ll give it to my gardener/helper who has also been spoiled and can’t live without one!

This product is sweet! It does a fantastic job of pulling up weeds by their roots. I really delight in weeding now, thanks to this product. Works fantastic on dandelion-sized weeds. Just be sure to line the thing up so that it is right over the center of the weed and you’re excellent to go.

This is an awesome weed puller. Much simpler than pulling them out by hand. The only thing to be careful of is to get the weed right in the middle and pull out the root; otherwise it will come right back.

My husband and I bought the Weed Hound from a local home improvement store. As soon as we arrived home, I had to try it out. It does exactly as advertised. It’s simple to use and very effective on pulling the weeds with the root.
A fantastic tool to have to rid your lawn of misplaced plants.

I couldn’t believe how well this thing worked. Just plop it on top of a weed – especially dandelions – step on the ledge, and watch the claws sink in and clamp down on the root in a single swoosh. I’ve found that pulling directly up slowly helps me get the entire root out, which is particularly satisfying.
