In California, we use this tool in preparing and examining the walls of trenches excavated across earthquake faults. Our goal is to assess the potential for ground surface rupture due to fault movement. I facetiously call it a “pedological deobfuscator” and even wrote a small paper on its use [Borchardt, Glenn. “The Pedological Deobfuscator.” Soil Survey Horizons 37, no. 2 (1996): 47-48]. In the scientific study of soils (also known as “pedology”) for age dating we need to see soil structure, which may contain little cubes or columns that form as soils become older. When the trench is first excavated, the walls generally are smooth and encrusted with soil from other parts of the trench. This material needs to be removed for us to see the actual soil structure. This tool is ideal for doing that.

To heavy. Handle is a pipe. I bought this and the tiller. Well made it is however you would have to be in great shape to really work with it. Older people like to garden to. This is not for arthritics, give us a break.

I love all Yard Butler garden tools. This weeder is heavy enough to dig into the hard clay. I suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome 2 years ago, but holding this doesn’t cause the wrist pain.

Weeder and weed whacker! I work within the public school system in San DIego for 40hrs. per week and can vouch for this terrific implement. From cutting weeds off above the root (wiregrass) to prying weeds out of the ground (dandelion) to a combination of the two (burr clover), this pals a dandy. Gardeners shouldn’t leave to work without hand pruners and this puller. Even a claw hammer, which is much heavier, pales in comparison to the torque you can muster with this light and strong weed steed. It’s manufactured with a foam rubber grip that won’t slip out of your hands and has no screws: the welded-on head means less maintenance while the tines and blade need occasional sharpening. That’s it! A must have.
