I don't if any of you have tried the Fiskars uproot lawn and garden weeder yet.
I just ordered one from Amazon (I got the 7870) for less than $30.00 and received it today What a Godsend! I tried it out today and within minutes I had filled a trash bag with weeds, dandelions root and all without even having to lean over.
My only complaint has nothing to do with the product but rather my 5 month old Weimaranar named Cujo who thought it was great fun to grab the weeds out of the bag and run around shaking them. Oh well, he got out all the good top soil that was left on the roots out. lol
I spent more money than I care to admit having my yard landscaped (it's well over an acre). Last year I put down the preen, used Round-up 6 hr. and spent weeks using a shovel and hand weeding to get the roots out only those pesky buggers come back.
I am not in the best condition having bi-lateral carpal tunnel, need of a right thumb arthoplasty and 2 back surgeries, the last being a fusion. But this Fiskars made weeding a piece of cake. Actually kind of fun except for yelling at the dog.
If you are interested Amazon has a demonstration video that shows how to use it and how it just ejects the weed out with a slide of the handle. There are several models to choose from. It's also recommended by the arthritis foundation.
Just an FYI
