Fiskars Weed Puller Features
The Fiskars weed puller is a novel idea created for gardeners who want to stay upright in the garden.
Generally designed for the older generation and others who might have other issues when it comes to being on your knees—designed with a long handle, proven to be easy on your shoulders when pulling out weeds from your garden.
The claws are long and will remove the majority of weeds with the root ball intact.

Using The Fiskars Weed Puller
Many Fiskars weed puller reviews claim that it works well and relieves the pressure in their back because of the length and design of this weed puller!
Although some reviews have revealed that the device is “NOT” suitable for larger areas, another downside is the holes the product leaves.
Another note to make is the Fiskars weed puller is not suitable for patios, paths and around decking because the claws will not penetrate/fit into these small areas. Great for open spaces, flower beds, lawns, and vegetable patches.
Due to the three-prong design, the Friskas product is restricted to more open areas!
Foot Peddle
The majority of weed pullers currently on the market offer the foot peddle, although some are much harder to squeeze than others.
The Fiskars foot peddles extremely easy to push down, which we put down to the quality and internal device used!
Comparing the Fiskars foot peddle to other leading brands, the Friskers device comes out on top!
Delivery And Setup
Once you received your Fiskars Weed Puller, it is ready to go. All you will need is a positive/Philips screwdriver to assemble the handle. After use, it will hang in the shed or garage with the hanger provided by the company!
