Always good to have a weed puller in your toolshed. A stand-up puller, specifically, that operates as a lever, allowing it to first grab deeply and then through a rotation of the handle it pulls out quite a bit of the root system. A lifesaver if you have a rain garden which is really just a synonym for weed garden.
I would not actually like to know that, since such a device seems impossible
I've never used a bad one, although I wouldn't class any of them as anything stellar. All of them have looked like a snake's twisted tongue.
Using them depends on the delicate combination and application of brute force and technique. If your technique and brute force is up to spec, a crowbar works as a makeshift weed puller.
This CobraHead weeder has worked well for me

It's kinda gimmicky but I found this thing on clearance at a local hardware store and it works fairly well (gets most weeds out without me having to bend over, which is nice): https://grampasweeder.com/collections/grampas-gardenware/pro...
It doesn't get everything but I can do more work on the tough ones when so many come right out.
the link is to a dandelion root system that goes 450 centimeters into the ground, or 4.5 meters / 5 yards.
we'd like to know how much of that weed would your weed puller pull if your weed puller pulled a full pull?
