    As we both suffer from arthritis we are looking for a decent weed puller. Reviews on the Fiskar one are that it is flimsy and does not remove the whole root all the time. Are there any other decent weed pullers on the market that do the job efficiently? Thanks.

    I know it's probably not the way to go for a lot of people and i understand why but on stubborn weeds i use Roundup as i suffer from Sciatica and Cluster headaches, so i can't do much in the way of strenuous gardening, especially on a clay soil that's full of flint. I know that doesn't answer your question but even for the average gardener, trying to tackle such pests as Japanese Knotweed and Creeping Yellow Sorrel can be a nightmare so Roundup does have it's uses.
