Anyone got one of these new Fiskars weed pullers?
Ive been searching everywhere for one, everywhere sold out locally. Managed to find one online tonight for a decent price.
My lawn is absolutely covered in dandelions, so im hoping this is the end of my problem.

Just get a decent weed and feed for your lawn. Put it down, Wait 3 to 4 weeks then scarify the lawn. Works a treat and costs less than one of them tools.

I've been thinking about getting one of these as our front lawn is nearly all dandelions now
Rear garden has more of a moss issue though so don't know whether to try feed stuff on both first

I think to kill the dandelions you need alot stronger weed killer than comes in most weed and feeds.
Ill give it a whirl, ive read nothing but 5 star reviews for it

Arrived yesterday. Had a quick 5 min go with it, and i reckon i pulled out over 50 weeds.
Its bloody brilliant. Its pulled out dandilions complete with more than a foot long roots.
Highly recommend it

Are they good with all weeds?
We're lucky so far, in the lawn we havn't got any weeds yet, just some foreign plant things which i've pulled out! But then again its only just started to grow!

Yea seems to be. I reckon I've pulled well over 250 now and I'd say I'm not even a 1/4 of the way. Gardens not that big either. Theres gotta be some kinda plague of them at the min

It doesnt pull the grass, only the weed. Itll leave a hole about 2inch deep and 2 inch round. Just fill them as you go.
