I had no idea
I work for AgrAbility and saw this on a list of tools for people with compromised mobility and range of motion and, holy smokes, I can't overstate how great this tool is! I am able-bodied but gardening makes me sore and tired sometimes, and this tool not only alleviates the "work" of weeding but actually brings me so much joy to use that it's a double benefit. Thank you, endorphins! It arrived while I was out of town in August and the weeds had taken over...not anymore, and not only am I not sore from weeding - my garden has never looked better!

Awesome Back Saver!
This is a really cool product and it works really well!
I’ve pulled 45 gallons of weeds in one day using 5 gallon buckets using this tool, it took 4.5 hours and saved my back in the middle of the day at 90°! (I wanted to test this in the hardest environment I could)
I couldn’t have done that much on a 90° day in the middle of summer by hand pulling.
It would be five stars if it had a couple of upgrades.
I think this could be upgraded by having a longer handle maybe 50-55”, or at least have an option for that, I would be to short for taller people to use easily if you ask me, and if the tines/puller teeth were an inch or two longer to get the deeper roots of thistles and dandelions, and salsify better. I get about half the roots no matter what method I try on the more mature plants, and a few times I’ll get the whole deal. I think your soil composition has a lot to do with this.
I will say it probably gets 75-100% of the roots of the smaller ones, so get em while they are small to medium and you won’t have as much of an issue.
I actually purchased this from a local hardware store and it’s so good I had to leave a review on here. The instructions are really good as well. It does take a little technique with things that have tougher or longer roots on how quickly or slowly you’ve been the tool over when it is grasping the root section.
Overall I do love this tool! It’s so good I have left a review on Amazon, at my local hardware store, and here!

Well made. Unusual these days.
Weeder is well made and works as advertised. The first weeder got lost by UPS. Grampa's sent a replacement and I'm very pleased both with the service and the weeder.

Enjoyable
I like using the Weed Puller. It's relaxing and satisfying. The prongs really get down there and yank out the root.

Once you get the hang of it...
Once you get the hang of using the stand up weed puller you realize how easily it works and how much fun it is to use. We even called the neighbors over to play with ours when we first got it. It's a great tool, well made, and it makes pulling weeds much easier.

First use, worked as advertised
Weeded a mailbox garden area with pernicious dandelions and prickly lettuce. Will continue in the yard when over-100 heat abates, but expect to be pleased.

Best weeder ever!!
I have used Grampa's Weeder for probably 5-6 years. I recently ordered a second one for a vacation property. With arthritis, I cannot kneel to pull weeds. This tool makes weeding easy, but also fun! One can see the results quickly as those roots just come right out!

Best Tool Ever
I can’t describe how much I love these tools and how easy it makes weeding (especially those darn dandelions). Easy to use and I don’t have to bend or kneel when using the Grampa weeder. The hand weeder helps my poor arthritic hands by giving me more oomph to get tough weeds out. This the third one I’ve purchased. One for me, my husband and my son (for his yard).

Working Wonders So Far
Works exactly as advertised once you get the muscle memory down--so much better than stooping to pull weeds, especially over a larger space.

Works pretty well
Full transparency: I am not a gardener and I haven't pulled weeds in decades.
I assume this tool works great for weeds with shallower roots or in moist soil. I was trying to remove dandelions in my yard and although it got the plant and the shallow roots, the main tap root often broke off, even when I pulled very slowly. This is not necessarily a shortcoming of the tool. I think I was using it in a context it wasn't completely suited for. Perhaps if I had run some water on the soil containing the plant it would have come out cleanly.
Another minor thing I noticed was that once the weed was pulled, getting the plant out of the tool was a little frustrating, requiring me to adjust my hold on the handle about halfway down and physically pull the plant out with my other hand. On the other hand, having the plant stuck allowed me to remove it while over the container I was using to collect the weeds for disposal, so this may be a feature, not a defect.

Tips From Grampa
Weed the day after a rain, or water the area first. Roots slide out of moist soil much more easily.
Go straight down. Keep the handle upright as you step so the claws go deep around the root.
Pull weeds before they go to seed. Every puffball you stop is fewer dandelions next year.
Fill the holes with a little soil or grass seed so new weeds don't move in.
Fall is a great time to weed: perennial weeds push their energy into their roots, so pulling them now keeps them from coming back in spring.
What People Are Saying
“This simple tool is an ace at pulling up deep-rooted lawn weeds like dandelions.”
Wirecutter
“Weeds in my mulched garden, especially ones with thicker roots, like dandelions, came up perfectly about 90 percent of the time.”
Popular Mechanics
“An environmentally friendly option for pulling weeds without the use of chemicals.”
The Old Farmer's Almanac
Since 1913
Grampa's Story
Grampa's Weeder has been pulling weeds and their roots for over 100 years. Invented in 1913 in Seattle, Washington, it quickly became a must-have tool for gardeners in the Great Northwest. Production stopped in 1941 when metal was needed for the war effort, and it didn't come back after the war.
That changed in 1999, when Greg found his mother-in-law's old garden tool in her garage. Once he figured out how it worked, he was hooked. Grampa's Gardenware Co. was born in our family garage in Oregon. At tradeshows, folks kept picking it up and saying "My Grampa had one just like that!" and the name picked itself.
What worked well in 1913 still works well today. Everything old is new again!
The most common mistake is keeping your foot on the footpad while you lean. Press the claws in, take your foot off, then lean the handle toward the footpad. Make sure the claws are centered over the middle of the weed, and water dry soil first.
Does it work in clay or rocky soil?
Grampa's Weeder works best in softer soil, especially after a good watering or rainfall. On hard clay or rocky ground the claws can't go as deep, so soak the area the day before you weed.
What kinds of weeds does it pull?
It is made for weeds with a central taproot, like dandelions, thistle, plantain and crabgrass. It is less effective on very small seedlings, spreading grass, or narrow gaps along concrete where the claws can't fit.
What if the root breaks off?
Big, old dandelions can have roots 6 to 18 inches deep. Water first for the best chance of getting it all. If a root snaps, watch that spot and pull any new leaves as soon as they appear.
How do I clean and store it?
Knock the soil out of the claws after use. If a small stone gets wedged, pry it out with a screwdriver. Wipe the head clean and store the tool somewhere dry.
How tall is it?
The tool is 46 inches tall with a 45 inch bamboo handle, so most adults can use it standing upright.
How long does shipping take?
We usually ship within 1 business day and orders generally arrive within 5 to 8 business days. Shipping is free on all orders over $50.
