Grampa's Weeder - Stand Up Weed Puller Tool with Long Handle

Grampa's Weeder: The Original Stand-Up Weed Puller Tool

Grampa's Weeder is the original stand-up weed removal tool that has been pulling out weeds and their roots for over a hundred years! Conceived in 1913 in Seattle, Washington, this ingeniously designed weed puller quickly became a must-have tool for gardeners in the Great Northwest to get rid of weeds quickly and easily.

Unfortunately, production of the stand-up weeder stopped in 1941 so that all available metal could be put towards the war effort. After the war ended, manufacturing of this wonderful weed removal tool never resumed - until 1999, when Greg, the husband of the current owner, discovered the strange-looking garden tool in his mother-in-law's garage. Upon figuring out how it worked, he was hooked, and Grampa's Gardenware Co. was born, with the family hand-making this turn-of-the-century weed puller in that very same garage.

Now, over 25 years later, Grampa's Weeder is thriving, and the company is proud to introduce this century-old weed puller to gardeners everywhere. As a small family business, they've come a long way, but the simple lever design that worked well in 1913 still works well today. The saying "Everything Old Is New Again" certainly rings true for Grampa's Weeder, as its ingenious design has stood the test of time.

Using Grampa's Weeder is a breeze. Simply place the tool over the center of the invasive plant, press down on the footpad straight into the ground, then remove your foot. Next, lean the tool towards the footpad - do not lift or twist. When you lean the tool, the forks will pinch around the weed, allowing you to pull it out effortlessly. No harmful chemicals are needed, and it saves your back and knees from bending and pulling.

Grampa's Weeder boasts a long, resilient bamboo handle renowned for its strength-to-weight ratio, paired with a powder-coated steel head for durability and rust resistance. Each weeder undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure a seamless union between the bamboo and steel, providing a reliable tool.

While the weeder is highly effective for most common garden weeds, it may struggle with particularly large or woody roots that exceed the grasp capacity of the steel claws. For soils that are overly rocky or dense clay, additional effort may be required to penetrate and secure the weed for pulling.

Grampa's Weeder is the original stand-up weed puller, and it's not to be confused with look-alikes. Thousands of happy customers depend on this ingenious tool to keep their gardens weed-free without the need for harmful chemicals. As an American family-owned business, Grampa's Gardenware Co. is proud to continue Grampa's legacy for generations to come, bringing this time-tested weed remover to gardeners everywhere.
