Radius Garden 102 Natural Radius Grip Weeder Review.
"Nothing like it" 2008-07-01
By Cow Town Girl (Sheridan, WY)
Dandilions, thistle, even clover are no match for this amazing tool. Throw away the standard forked tongue weeder you find everywhere and buy this. You can weed all day and not get sore and tired hands. Just insert the blade along the root and rock back the handle. You will usually hear the root "pop" and most of the time, the whole root will easily pull from the ground intact. Makes quick work of a never-ending chore.

Great design, you can work all day and not hurt you hands. Regular garden tools seem so primitive when you get used to these.
I know some people have bent them, but I think this is because it is so easy to get good leverage on them that people do not realize how much force they are putting on them. Use a little common sense, they are well made but they are not crowbars. The blade and the handle are one piece of metal so no problems with handles coming loose or breaking.
The only bad thing I can say is they take up more room in a toolbox because of the curved handles. But well worth the space.
I have the whole set of hand tools, plus 2 shovels and a pitchfork. All great. Truly, the next step in garden tools.

The Radius Natural Grip Weeder is a light sturdy and inexpensive garden weeder. Its use speeds the process of digging out roots with ease. I like it alot better than hori hori. The lime green padded handle is very comfortable in your hands and makes the tool hard to loose in foliage.
"Radius Garden Tool - excellent grip" 2008-05-25

The curved ergonomic grip allows excellent leverage when digging. I could apply much stronger force without stressing out my wrists and forearm as in traditional straight grips.

the primary difference I notice with this weeder is how deep it goes with less effort and that you can actually feel and hear dandelions pop from the ground. Very well made so it looks like it will last a long time.
