Over the years, there have been many hand weeding tools surfacing in the garden centers of the country. While each company will brag about how wonderful their particular design pulls weeds, most of them do the basic job - pull weeds out of the ground, usually in the lawn.
So take your pick from the "prying" tools, the "grab and pull" tools, or even the "flaming" tools.

You just position The Rocket Weeder's jaws over the center of the weed and step on the foot pedal. The jaws grab the root under the ground. Then use the ergonomic handle to rock The Rocket Weeder back toward you. The most stubborn weed slips effortlessly out of the ground. Press the ejector handle and the weed falls harmlessly where you want it.Designed to remove the toughest weeds down to the root system. Constructed of powder coated heavy gauge steel with a specialized ejector device for easy disposal of weeds. Ergonomic handle for easy and comfortable use. Product dimensions: 37" L. x 5" D. x

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
