Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The present invention is a piece of hardware. More specifically, the present invention is a tool used for the removal of weeds.

Description of the Related Art

There are currently no feasible products on the market that offer an effective way to get rid of weeds and prevent them from re-emerging. Comparable products on the market (such as garden hoes, dandelion diggers, weed twisters, etc.) only chop the root of the weed off which allows it to grow back and therefore, forces one to repeat the same process time and time again. Moreover, pulling weeds typically involves getting on one's knees and exerting the back area which can be very strenuous and even painful when dealing with old injuries.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is a piece of hardware. More specifically, the present invention is a tool used for the removal of weeds.

The tool includes a handle and a head.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a tool with a ½″ metal pipe handle measuring 4 feet long and a V-shaped, steel head.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a tool that is easy to use by placing the slit located on head over base of weed desired for removal and extract root by pulling back pipe handle (or carrying out full motion) in a matter of seconds.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a tool that is readily available in all hardware and tools stores, home improvement stores, and gardening/lawn equipment stores.
