4 out of 5 stars great back saver   June 13, 2008
Kay L. Henry (New Englend)
I purchased this for my daughter. She has a big side yard that "was" full of dandelions. She had been pulling them by hand and had filled 3 big black garbage bags full. She was pleasantly surprised when the Yard Butler
Rocket Weeder arrived. She says it does a wonderful job on the smaller dandelions and saves her back. It is a bit more difficult to extract the larger weeds, which she still pulls by hand, but on the whole she is pleased with it's performance.



3 out of 5 stars Worked well, then broke   June 2, 2008

I was delighted with the performance of the tool - position it over the weed, step down on the pedal, then rock the pole back, and the weed comes right out. Beautiful! Easy! But it fell apart about the 5th or 6th time we used it in the flower bed, and it wasn't repairable. I felt sad, because it worked so well. I'm going to try the weed hound next.

The Rocket Weeder is a huge disappointment! I am 68, have a bad back and was hopeful that this was the answer to the bending in the garden. It really doesn't work, it doesn't go deep enough for one thing and when you step on the pedal it closes the claws and you come up with nothing. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but the instructions are sketchy.

Both my mom and I have back problems and we both love to work in our gardens. The problem for both of us is the bending to pull weeds. This is the answer! It grabs onto and pulls the weeds with very little effort. It gets the root better than just pulling or using a garden fork. The only problem is that it does leave a hole where the weed was. I'd recommend this to anyone who anyone who gardens.

I returned this item the day I got it! It does not work. Not only would it not hold on to the weed but the workmanship building it was shoddy and dangerous. I got cut by a piece of metal sticking out of the handle. Everyone in the family tried to make it work and it wouldn't, not dandilions, crabgrass or even the asparagus plant we tried it on. Absolutely worthless. Do not waste your money!
