Excellent tool. Strong and sturdy. Pulled the weeds and muck out from between the paving stones. Does the job properly.
I regard this as a value for money tool that does the job it’s intended fo
Having tried weed killer or trying to pull out the weeds by hand this product is the best thing I have ever had the pleasure to use.
Easy to use, gets between the paving slabs and clears the weeds and cleans the soil out at the same time.
Adjustable handle makes it easier to use for all heights of people
This has been a good buy, I have a slabs on drive, patio and around the house I’ve used this tool it is great. I am 88 it is perfect for me a female.
I’m t 5 ft 1 inch tall .The hand extends. It didn’t move for me.
This tool is well made and seeming good quality. There are just a couple of design issues that stop me giving that extra star.
The telescopic handle can come loose when you are using sufficient force to get weeds out of paving grouting. The rubber grip on top of handle starts to come off quite easily, shame as this could have been solved with some adhesive.
Probably the biggest design flaw in my opinion is blade, it is too thin. Dont get me wring it is excellent quality and very sharp, but the thinness means it easily goes past weeds rather than cut and remove them. I am using a small handled version as a comparsion, which has a blunter knife blade but is much thicker, meaning it gets caught up in much more weed and therefore cuts more out.
Overall it makes the job less back breaking than small handle ones and is so lightweight with a very sharp blade, but a few minoe design flaws hold it back.
Haven’t pulled the head off yet as one reviewer has done, using the knife to remove moss from the joints between the tiles on the roof, saves the back from bending all the time!!
Hi
This product is very strong, but it did not work on my patio as the blade should be thinner and sharper, as my patio has very thin divides between slabs. PLEASE NOTE. You have sent me two where I only ordered one. I need to know if you will organise the collection of the second delivery.
When the gap is big enough this is great – gets into the gap and pulls the weeds right out. Sadly I didnt fully understand how it worked and on my brick driveway (which is where the weed problem is) the bricks are too tightly aligned to get this into a gap to work… but when the gap is wide enough it is really good , a well made item and seems really sturdy.
