How to Use

1. Centre the steel claws over the weed and root.
2. Press the footpad straight down to push the claws into the soil.
3. Remove your foot, then lean the handle towards the footpad to close the claws around the root and lift the weed.

For best results, use when the soil is slightly moist. Very dry, compacted or rocky soil may make root removal more difficult.

Care and Safety

Remove soil from the steel head after use and allow the tool to dry before storage. Store undercover to protect the bamboo handle and steel components.

Wear enclosed footwear and keep hands and feet clear of the claws. Do not force the tool into rocks, hard surfaces or heavily compacted soil.
