One of the best tools I have ever purchased
After being in drought for so long in East Gippsland, we have had rain, and we are waging war on THISTLE, among other weeds, of all things, trying to pull thistle out by hand even with welding gloves on is near impossible, we have acerage and probably 2 acres has had the thistle take off, my husband spent nearly a whole day trying to dig out and pull out thistles, but the fiskars weeder is AMAZING, i spent a couple of hours after work and got piles of them out, we lit a fire and put them on it, burned them and their seeds, its like Day of the Triffid, I dont know how many times I have said, "Thank God for this tool" it was a bit more money than i would usually pay for a tool, but i watched quite a few youtube video reviews before I decided what to purchase, I decided the Fiskars was what I needed and Im so glad I bought it. If we spend a couple of hours a day for a week or two we will be on top of it. Even the very large tall thistles are easy, just push the plant over to one side and lever it out of the ground and eject it onto the pile, ITS WONDERFUL, I cannot say enough good stuff about it, I recommended it to 2 ladies at work, one works with horses (she uses it in the horse pastures), and the other is her mum who has not been well and not good at bending or kneeling down, they both bought one each, they love them, I cannot recommend this product enough, its light to carry around, easy to use, hardly any effort to use and quick. If it was not for this tool, I would not feel confident to be able to get on top of our thistle problem. Thank you Fiskars :)
