Fiskars UpRoot weed and root remover has longer stainless steel claws that dig deeper and grab more of the root. A lever mechanism at the base of the shaft makes pulling the weeds smooth and easy. Both are attached to a strong yet lightweight aluminum shaft that enables the yardener to stay comfortably upright while removing the root.

The yardener simply places the UpRoot weed and root remover directly over the weed, pushes the claws into the ground using the comfortable step, and then easily draws the levered shaft toward him or her. As the shaft is drawn back, the claws close to grip the root and the lever mechanism allows it to be pulled out in one smooth, effortless action. Then the yardener ejects the weed by simply sliding the handle on the weeder's shaft.

Nancy Demolishes Dandelions With Fiskars Weeder 

Nancy hates dandelions and loves the Fiskars UpRoot weed and root remover. It has longer stainless steel claws that dig deeper and grab more of the root. A lever mechanism at the base of the shaft makes pulling broad leaved weeds smooth and easy. Both are attached to a strong yet lightweight aluminum shaft that enables Nancy to stay comfortably upright while removing the root. 

Nancy simply places the UpRoot weed and root remover directly over the dandelion, pushes the claws into the ground using the comfortable step, and then easily draws the levered shaft toward her. As the shaft is drawn back, the claws close to grip the root and the lever mechanism allows it to be pulled out in one smooth, effortless action. Then, as seen in the photo, she ejects the weed by simply sliding the handle on the weeder's shaft.
