Fiskars Xact 4 Prong Weed Puller

The idea was good, unsure what the problem is, but, on trying to remove a long core root from hardened clay soil, something clicked/snapped and now it no longer works.

So, I manipulated everything until I got the plate to re-position itself, so, will give it another go tomorrow.

The key might well be not to exert too much pressure in prying these long core roots out of the ground.

Excellent in first weeks then the metal parts start to slip and not engage 100%. The how to use is very clear and all plastic aspects no issues. I believe the product needs a small design adjustment to be be 100%

On first impressions, this is an excellent device. In soft soil, it can easily get under the grass and pull out large weeds.

Our issues came after trying to pull out smaller weeds, which it could not budge. Many of these weed types were asparagus-type looking weeds or creeping type weeds with small anchor roots. Some weeds were small, and it would not pull these.

The weeder also would not work in more compacted dirt, in which it started clicking. After a lot of clicking, we noticed that the device would no longer grab well either.

It appeared broken and so we returned it after 8 months of very light use. Overall, quite disappointing.

I love it, I actually enjoy pulling out the weeds especially with no aches or pain afterwards. I have more weeds than grass so looks like a gopher has been running around, but I will put soil in the holes if I need to. Best purchase I’ve made.

I'll simply say that if you own a manicured lawn or just a patch of grass you can not be without this piece of kit all you need to wage war on weeds

It is very easy to use on weeds that are on a lawn without any stones. But it is of no use if you are trying to weed garden beds in between plants and especially if you have decorative stones. Not a very well spent $74 dollars for me cos I dont have a lawn only garden beds with stones in them.

The first one broke mere days after purchase. I got it replaced for free. Only just used it today broke within 20-30mins. Not worth $75 by any means, poor design. The Plastic part is what breaks very easily doing what it's made to do, pulling weeds. Piece of junk.

My neighbour put me and my husband onto this little gem, didn't realise how easy it pulls out the weeds. I also do the lawns at another elderly neighbours place and he used it and can't believe how good this weed puller is. I also suffer with arthritis in my knees and this tool is a good investment.

it is a great idea. It pulled weeds out effortlessly for the first half hour. The plastic part that surrounds the blades snapped pulling a small clump of grass. Poor design..should have been a metal surround. It's an expensive tool to only last 30 minutes.b

I got this as a present for Christmas after going absolutely crazy about weeds last year. Spent the last 7 months not using it and having no idea until I decided to give it a go and read the instructions. WOW what a game changer! Saves my back and is so easy to use as well as getting the full weed out. Couldn't be happier - best Christmas gift yet!!

Pulls out most weeds in lawn very well. But you simply can't justify buying a new one every few months. It's not durable. Plastic can't handle the strain. I'd pay double, if there were a long lasting version of this.

Was unnerving at first dropping $74 on a weed puller. But after the first giant weed came out... my god it was disgustingly glorious. That feeling of "what the hell"

I have used one of these for years and can say that they do work. However I have noticed that the weeds do re-grow at times, from seeds or bits of root left. I have found that planting grass seed into the hole smothers the regrowth. I mix seed, wetting agent, fertiliser and sifted compost, and loosely fil the hole.

This is a game changer... I now love weeding my lawn and be warned... it is addictive. This unassuming garden tool pulls out cape weed with ease and speed. A must to own.

Great for pulling the really big clumps of weed out but sadly broke after little use over 3 years. Mr Fiskars you can't have a black plastic housing securing thick stainless steel jaws with a long handle attached! You insert it, foot down lean back and the black plasting moulding cracks and it literally falls apart.
