That’s the slogan Hound Dog Products uses to describe its Weed Hound dandelion weeder.
This tool is one of my favorites! It actually performs as adverised. As an added bonus, it’s made in the USA!
We don’t use herbicides to kill off dandelions, rather, we simply let them grow. Sometimes however, they show up in a garden bed where they can be disruptive. This is where the Weed Hound comes in.
You basically just step on the bottom of the tool and pull up…the dandelion pops right out, root and all. The Weed Hound seems to work best on weeds that grow in a rosette with a single tap root (like dandelions).
If you bring one of these weeders home, don’t tell your ol’ hound dog you have a new best friend!

I’ve had one of those Weed Hounds for years. It works well.
You forgot to mention it works best after a rain when the ground is moist.

Good point about the soil conditions.
Even the high school kids we get to help us would much rather do this job (removing weeds with the Weed Hound) than any other.
