Claw weeders are mechanical weeding tools. They have a long handle and a circle of metal teeth on the end. The metal teeth tend to be around 10 cm long and go into the ground around the weed. There is then a mechanism which allows you to close the teeth to ‘grab’ the weed, and pull it out. The sturdy Solid weed puller has three serrated, stainless-steel claws to firmly grab weeds and roots. Look for a hands-on weeder if you prefer to kneel down to work in your garden. Some models have a curved steel head that is able to plow through the soil without a great deal of effort. The handle may be made from recyclable materials and designed to be used by both right and left-handed individuals.
