It is one of the favorite weeding tools for garden professionals for many obvious reasons. This is a tough weeder that is designed to work large flowering beds in a time efficient manner and for use in difficult spots including hard surfaced areas. This tool can cut or pull weeds in a single stroke. Our head gardener said that this tool has made his weeding chores of the large display perennial borders at our nursery a whole lot faster and easier. We agree with him. Constructed from quality 13-gauge steel and wood right here in the U.S.A.
