Plus, the orange mechanism on the handle has an easy eject button that clears weeds from its claws without having to bend over to pluck out stuck roots. Amazon Buy It: Fiskars Claw Weeder, $46 (was $62), Amazon At the bottom of the shaft are four serrated stainless steel claws that get deep at the root of the weeds—making weeds a permanent thing of the past.
