Tools and Hardware Reviews of Yard Butler TT-1W Garden Terra Weeder
Customer Review: Excellent tool for soils
Summary: 5 Stars
In California, we use this tool in preparing and examining the walls of trenches excavated across earthquake faults. Our goal is to assess the potential for ground surface rupture due to fault movement. I facetiously call it a "pedological deobfuscator" and even wrote a small paper on its use [Borchardt, Glenn. "The Pedological Deobfuscator." Soil Survey Horizons 37, no. 2 (1996): 47-48]. In the scientific study of soils (also known as "pedology") for age dating we need to see soil structure, which may contain little cubes or columns that form as soils become older. When the trench is first excavated, the walls generally are smooth and encrusted with soil from other parts of the trench. This material needs to be removed for us to see the actual soil structure. This tool is ideal for doing that.Customer Review: Pedological Deobfuscator Rocks!

Summary: 5 Stars
Weeder and weed whacker! I work within the public school system in San DIego for 40hrs. per week and can vouch for this terrific implement. From cutting weeds off above the root (wiregrass) to prying weeds out of the ground (dandelion) to a combination of the two (burr clover), this pals a dandy. Gardeners shouldn't leave to work without hand pruners and this puller. Even a claw hammer, which is much heavier, pales in comparison to the torque you can muster with this light and strong weed steed. It's manufactured with a foam rubber grip that won't slip out of your hands and has no screws: the welded-on head means less maintenance while the tines and blade need occasional sharpening. That's it! A must have.Customer Review: Good all-purpose hack-and-chop tool
Summary: 4 Stars
Well made tool, similar to those in Home Depot and Lowe's. It works really well now that I've put a sharp edge on the flat side with my bench grinder. We live in Texas, and we have several raised-bed gardens. The bermuda grass loves to run under the landscape timbers and into the rich, organically improved soil that's inside those timbers. The "teeth edge" of this tool is good for "grabbing" the runners and pulling them out; bermuda is tougher than wire once its roots get connected with the soil. It's a good tool and I would recommend it to anyone considering buying a macro-level tool for working in gardens and flower beds.Customer Review: My favorite

This weeder rocks! Truly an all purpose tool, this is the first (sometimes the only) tool that I grab when gardening. The hoe end is a good scuffling tool for small weeds and will chop through something sturdier like a blackberry vine in a pinch, while the tined end is perfect for impaling deep-rooted weeds like dandelions, tansy, and nettles and then leveraging the whole thing out like a claw hammer. The foam rubber grip means it won't slip out of your hands, the welded-on head is better than my old one (no bolts to come loose), and the enameled (?) finish defies dirt.
