The Rocket Weeder?s unique gripping action pulls out even the most stubborn weeds, root and all, without damaging the surrounding turf or ground cover. The forks grab the weed without breaking off the roots and the ergonomic handle does most of the work by pulling the weed and roots up out of the ground. The ejector button drops the weed where you want it, keeping your hands clean. Weeding has never been easier or more satisfying.
