I used to avoid weeding because bending over for more than a few minutes would make my lower back ache. This lets me stay standing, and that alone made yard work feel a lot more manageable.
I bought this for my dad because he still loves keeping his lawn neat, but getting down on his knees has become harder for him. He called me the next day saying he had already cleared the front path.
The first dandelion I pulled came out with the long root attached, which was honestly pretty satisfying. It feels much better than snapping the top off and seeing it come back a week later.
It works especially well the day after rain. The soil is softer, the claws slide in easier, and the roots come out much cleaner. I keep it by the garage now so I can grab it quickly.
