Grampa’s Weeder, named for its old-school design, is a big hit among shoppers, and no wonder: Engineered to work while you’re standing, it pulls weeds without straining joints. Made of powder-coated steel with a real bamboo handle, this tool has vintage charm and modern practicality. It uses a simple lever system to grip weeds by the root — just jab it into the ground, tilt and voilà , you’re suddenly a backyard hero. No batteries, no gas, no app download required. Just good ol’ physics. It’ll work on everything from dandelions to crabgrass.
Here’s what one backyard warrior had to say: “As a 5’3″ woman in my late 70s, bending over to pull weeds is not fun. This tool allows me to insert sturdy prongs around the center of the deeply rooted established weeds, step on the metal platform, pull back, and use the leverage to easily pull the weed out by the roots. Then I lift it up and pluck it out of the mechanism, shake off the soil and toss the weed onto the accumulating pile, all the while standing up comfortably. It makes pulling weeds almost fun.”
