Pro Tip! Just watch this back at 1.5x Speed 😜 less boring that way!
Does that hurt YT engagement metrics?
Who knows but I watched it in fast forward while checking for mistakes and it went by a lot faster lol
I watch ALL videos like that... I don't have time for turtles😂😂😂
2x worked great. 👍
It's called "California burnt 🥦🥴
Your neighbors definitely know you're a madman at this point.
I’m mowing a few of their lawns for fun. They know I’m crazy
You make weeding look fun; maybe I can get my kids to do a weed pulling competition!
Really glad you did this second with additional tools and actually read the instructions.
Thanks for the commentsn
What ISN'T mentioned here anywhere is the level of physical effort required to operate these weeders. Might be worthwhile to to have a few not-so-thirty-somethings ( I'm double that . . .and some) demo the weeders. A factor for some of us is preserving shredded shoulders, creaky backs, ossified knees, and to not be the source of communal humor as we wrestle our yards. I continually run into a herd of MONSTER tall weeds and kneeling and carefully spreading the leaves to get centered for the tool just isn't in the cards if there's more than just a few truants.
You should do a you tube video of your own with the same comparison but from your perspective.
@mikehenry I was wondering this too. I don’t have much strength, and can’t afford to hire anyone.
I just gave money to Gardena after watching your last video, then saw this update. Boy was I relieved to see it hadn't been dethroned!
It’s nice to own them all 😂
I have a Grandpa's Weeder and the Gardena, I don't know why but I always choose to use the Grandpa's weeder. I just like it better but they both work great for me.
What a great video! Every tool tested with different techniques to see what works. Comprehensive and experimental. 10/10. I have 2 of these tools - hardly used but now I know what to do! Keep up the good work!
Great video. You have much patience.
I love your enthusiasm!
Thanks for taking your time to do this, it's so helpful!
"see that wasn't just luck"
the best test I've ever seen
many thanks
I was going to buy Grampa's weeder but you definitely sold me on the Gardena.
For clover, try using one of the rake type tools.. lightly rake thru, then pull up.. you can even twist it around and around since they grow into vines
Nice selection to compare. But dandelions are the least of my worries even though they are 2-3x bigger than yours - there is a broad leaf weed where the leaves hug the ground a completely cover the grass with a diameter of about 5", these will kill anything under them - and they multiply. I also need to weed under hedges which have a variety of gigantic "water" types with needles, others without that pull nicely by hand (they can get 4' tall) and of course poison ivy and 5-leaf "poison" which I think is Virginia creeper.
I have an almost 100 year old weeder just like the Scotts. It has a spring ejector w/trigger, but the spring is not quite stiff enough - probably has lost some tension over the decades.
Good informative video, thanks.
It looks like you tried the 3-claw Fiskars. I have the 4-claw Fiskars and it always brings weeds up intact, both tap-rooted weeds and weeds with large root balls. And yeah, it leaves a big divot. For weeds that don't need the nuclear option I use a Cobrahead, but of course that's a kneeling weeder rather than a standup one.
Those small weeds don't always have a long root. But when you turned around to search for weeds, I almost threw up! 😮😊
Great testing but (there is always a but :))...Granpa's works great, I have 3 acres of texas grass and it never fails. Also woods do not all have the same length root or root strength so I would say Gramps and the other top 2 are just as good.
excellent video. I hate to garden! My landlord always takes over mothers day 3 wks and I get to watch the weeds grow. I will be buying the gardena tool and trying it out. I am 76 with arthritis everywhere so hope this does well.
IF you’re older maybe the fiskars is an easier motion for de weeding
Thanks for sharing!
The real test would be do they work in dry hard soil or gravel/rock landscape...? Asking for a friend. 😅
I enjoyed watching this (at 1.5x). But your monster weeds are babies. Some of my dandelion roots are the size of large carrots. Would like to see which product is best at tackling those. Also, would be helpful to know what various types of standing weed puller interiors are made of -- plastic or metal. My Fiskars is made of cheap plastic that broke easily (now selling for $50; what a joke). It would really be helpful, too, if you could put the approximate price (at time of video). Gardena's is $80. Pfffft.
Going with the Gardena. I need the foot push. Thanks!
Foot push is key! Let me know how it works out
Great video made awesome by comparing so many brands. To be honest, your wrap up was so fast I wasn't sure which was your favorite. I'm curious if you tried spinning the grandpa's? Seems like the bend backwards breaks the root...
with the fiskars, try wiggling it side to side a bit before you gently pull the weed. im having about the same luck with mine as i do with the hand digging.
It’s like some folks finding satisfaction of popping out a good pimple. 😝
make sure you check customer durability reviews where you buy it. The Scotts has a high percentage of low reviews for breaking quickly, but I suspect buyers are trying to use these when the soil is not moist enough.
I love it!!! You have me sold on the Grandpa one
Maaaan I wouldn’t pay for grandpas
@@YuriTereshyn too late. It arrived yesterday. Hopefully with the lifetime warranty they'll stand by their product
@@AnnaAliciaTx Have you used it yet? How did it do? Thinking about getting one.
@@Sfcjames333 I have. It's super easy to use once you get the hang of it. It worked very well on goat heads, dandelions, crab grass, and even monkey grass we're trying to get rid of. I don't think it would work on huge tall weeds that have extra thick roots. Make sure the area you work on is a bit moist. I usually wait a day or two after a rain or watering and then go at it. I have pulled up a huge box full of weeds in like 30 minutes or less. Very effortless, to me anyway. I love it!
@@AnnaAliciaTx Thank you for your reply and opinion. You have helped in my decision to order. Best of luck and thank you again!!!
Twisting while lifting may be difficult for the elderly or someone with balance or back issues. I can see mt 89 year old father ( who still does some yard work ) falling over trying to twist and pull one of those at the same time. He needs stab the weed and lift. Then eject into the bucket.
do you have advice for not pulling weeds from grass? I have an acre of dirt that I need to pull weeds on. I bought a Gardtech Stand Up Weeder Puller and it's great in the soft and moist dirt but impossible in the dry hard dirt. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
This was awesome. So helpful. Thank you. Until I win the lottery and can afford to truck in a new load of soil to replace the clay dirt (read: cement!) that's hosting the collection of obstinate prickly weeds masquerading as a lawn, I am going to buy one (maybe more) of these tools to save my aching back.
You asked for feedback, so the only suggestion I would make is to put down signs with the name of each tool by each one at the end, instead of saying "this one" or "that one."
Great idea! Next year I will
Would these work better if you made that last pull really fast? It seemed to work on the Fiskars in the last video.
Thank you!
Found this video and tried to order the Gardena one but it wouldn't arrive til May. Picked up a similar product by Garden Weasel at my local Ace and I'm impressed so far. I have this annoying wild onion stuff that isn't phased by weed killer and breaks if you pull it by hand. The Garden Weasel got out the entire thing down to the bulb. It looks pretty identical to the Gardena and has nice cushy handles.
Thanks for the tip. I have that wild onion also and violets.
Thanks for this. I'm also seeing the Gardena not available until May or June and Scotts looks discontinued.
I’ve had that green one for over 20 years, amazing
The Scott’s works great, I was surprised because it feels cheaply made but I think it must be lightweight due to an aluminum pole
Yup!
Yuri, I just tried to buy the Scotts puller, but it is not listed anywhere. I did find one that looks identical to the Scotts It is the Walensee Long Handel Weeder Tool. Again thanks for the video.
Lemme
Know how it works!!
If you have a Dollarama near you, I bought I a very similar product to the Scotts for $5. Works pretty much exactly the same way. There's a lot of plastic on it, so you have to be gentle with it, but it works pretty good!
I thought the nail weed pullers were complete garbage. I had no clue I needed to twist instead of pulling up or lever it. Will try is out today. Twist and lift. Thanks
Me too!
Ok I think I have the ultimate challenge. We have these very tall weeds with huge roots, on an incline, in hard dirt. We also have pigweed.
Glad someone else gets happy when the entire root comes out. Weeds are grumpy.
Gotto get it all!
There are so many variables, soil type, whether it is dry or wet, weed type and how deep the root is, and technique of the tool used. I am the one who mentioned that rotating the weed hound(dark green one with nails) was breaking off the roots, and you see not twisting made a huge difference, I have since done a simple mod to the tool, making it much easier to use, and much more effective. I wish it would let me post a photo here, as it would be much easier to see what I did. But here is what I did, I cut a piece of 3/4" thick shelving board, it is long enough to fit in the part you step on, approx 3", and the depth is to the bracket when the nails are pushed down, approx 3.5". I put it in the part you step on and ran a screw through it to hold it in place. Now when I use the weed remover, I just step on it as usual, but then I tilt the handle backward, using the board as a pivot point, it takes all the pressure of trying to pull the unit straight up with just as good of results. Seeing how well this works for me, I will build something sturdier later, like out of angle iron, although the board has been lasting.(ps, I pre-drilled the hole in the metal, so that the wood screw could pull the board tight against the wall) Sadly, it appears weed hound went out of business, as I can't find them anywhere. At one time, Harbor Freight was selling a knock off that was nearly identical and did just as good, but I heard weed hound sued, so HF quit selling them, so now we can't have that great product at all.
Yes. In all my tests. Gardena and Scott’s are my fav
It's dope to always see options. But Im so lazy now bro I just get the weed killer.. 😅
❤️
The best tool is your hand 👏 and pull
The old green one is great for weeds tougher than dandelions, such as crabgrass...because it never breaks. The Fiskars will break if the weeds are too hard-rooted.
What are the Gardena blades made of? Hoping it’s metal but it look like plastic in the video. Thanks.
METALLLLLLLL
I don't think root length is a fair comparison test, they can arbitrarily break wherever they want. But I do understand the thought behind it. I'm going with the Grampa's for now, partly due to price and availability. The Gardena is hard to find at this time, Amazon is out.Was very interesting to compare last years review with 2024.
Ya I tried grandpas again this year. Still did poorly in my tests
These should really just be called dandelion pullers. I look at the weeds in my garden and there's no way these are pulling the thistle, comfrey, mullein, or burdocks. ...Doesn't help that they're all over 6 feet at this point but that's my fault.
Clover is actually pretty great.
Yup. I just don’t want it on my grass
Do you recommend carrying a bag of dirt and filling in each hole as you remove each weed?
Probably would be good I dunno.
@@YuriTereshyn I was thinking, pay my grandkids. One uses the tool, the other separates the weed and puts the dirt back. lol
Anyone in the states that's been able to get the Scott's or Gardena?
I can't find anywhere that sells & ships to the US for Scott's and Gardena has been sold out on Amazon for a bit.
Scott’s maybe locally at lowes or rona
Where in Canada do you get the Gardena?
Amazon
How well do these work on crab grass?
Just dig it all out
I actually plant those weeds. They're good medicine for the liver and lose weight 😊
Does it help when you say Boom? 😀
So much
How do these work in flower beds?
The smaller ones probably work better
The gardena seems to be unavailable
Ya I got it directly from Gardena. Not sure the best way to get a hold of one. I’m sorry
I thought the point was to not have to bend over...you use your hand to pre-spread the weeds with some of the pullers...that skews everything
Everything about weed pulling is skewed. Every weed and soil is different. Just trying my best
I thought these were meant to eliminate bending over to remove weeds. And yet, you are doing exactly that every single time before you use the tool, and again after.
I don’t think it’s meant to eliminate bending. I think it’s meant to get the full root of the weed.
@@YuriTereshyn Directly from Gardena website: "Back-friendly working without bending over
Working with the practical Weed Puller from GARDENA is pleasant and gentle on the back over a longer period of time." Please realize a lot of people buying these are probably older people, like myself, who expect them to work as advertised, so they should be tested as such.
This is about impossible to get the weeds and the grass out of the clover
Leaving little leaves on your lawn is comparable to F-3 tornado damage.
You shouldn't have to adjust things by hand at ground level with a stand-up weed puller. You should be able to stab, yank (or twist or whatever) and go.
So far I'm up to the ninja
Ya I’m just making it very clear for video that I’m aiming very correctly for the tests
They say twist, you are turning, twist is like a beer bottle top, about 1/4 rotate.
I understand that you are plagued with dandelions, but I've got crabgrass, clover, and lespedeza, I've got like 10 dandelion in just over an acre. This review should be entitled the Best Dandelion Puller, it does not help me understand what is best for a broad range of weeds that many of us have. Great work though.
Ya but they’re all called weed pullers so 🤷🏼♂️ hope it helped a little!
@@YuriTereshyn it is incredibly helpful either way!
You're doing an AWEFUL lot of bending down for tools that are supposed to save you from doing that😂
How else am I gonna show on video how much weed we got! Gotto do it for the viewers
@@YuriTereshyn You are doing it to locate where to place the tool before jamming it into the ground. Next time, do it as the tools are intended, without bending over.
@@bigdealwhocares the tool isn’t intended to not bend over. It’s just intended to get the whole weed and root. I read the manual
@@YuriTereshyn directly from their website: "Back-friendly working without bending over. Working with the practical Weed Puller from GARDENA is pleasant and gentle on the back over a longer period of time."
I want speed. No bending.
Full root?
How do you convince yourself to weed your yard? Tell yourself it's for a RUclips video. 😂
Skip to 23:58 for the winner.
Solid idea. Which one would you pick
Just hit the arrow key for the 5 sec skip
lil rudeeeeee haha I’m trying to do a thorough test!
'Promo sm'
This was better than a wnba game 😅
Just go watch Peter Rabbit!
