Rid your garden of problem plants with the best weed puller

This popular product from Finnish brand Fiskars has racked up over 16,000 Amazon reviews, currently enjoying a 4.5-star rating. It's a great option for anyone with limited mobility, as its one-metre handle allows you to weed your garden from a standing position.

This puller traps the roots of the weeds between its claws and can reach a depth of up to 10cm underground. Once the weed has been grabbed, there's a push-to-eject mechanism that releases the plant.

From the Draper Heritage gardening range comes this traditional weed puller, ideal for when you're working hands-on with weeding tasks. It offers fully hardened, tempered, and polished stainless steel prongs in a V-shape design for a firm grip.

This handsome tool boasts a solid ash handle made from wood sourced from sustainable and responsibly managed sources. This comes complete with a hanging loop for tidy storage.

Tried and tested by Modern Gardens Commerce Content Writer Amy-Mae Turner: "This nifty little weeder from Draper's Heritage range is a solid hand tool option to tackle everyday weeding as you're pottering around your garden.

The wooden handle is well-weighted, giving you better leverage to pull up weeds. The prongs are sharp and deep enough to let you get around the roots of weeds of smaller plants. I like the leather hanging strap, as it stops me from losing the weeder when I'm out in the garden."

If you have tough weeds, you need a tough tool to tackle them. This Gardena option is a heavy-duty choice with a core made of hardened steel, meaning you can really get into the ground without the worry of it buckling.

The patented blades on this tool are close together so you won't make such large holes in your lawn or create too much disruption in your flower beds. It also has a built-in ejector mechanism to release the weeds for a time-saving way of weeding.

Tried and tested by Modern Gardens Commerce Content Writer Amy-Mae Turner: "Gardena offers a serious weeding solution with this puller that boasts hardened steel construction. In use, it feels like a serious garden tool. The prongs on this weeding tool are long enough to reach deep into the ground to ensure you get all of the root out. The release ejector mechanism feels really robust, but, at the same time, it is easy to use.

I tested this weeder out on an area of bark where weeds had grown through not just the bark, but the weed matt itself. It did not struggle to remove the weeds so I think it would be very effective on a lawn. The handle on this is quite large and I found it a little unwieldy, but there's no doubt it's an effective choice for the removal of larger weeds."

This weeder's design gives you a lever base to help you use leverage to prise weeds out of the ground. It is especially effective on weeds with robust roots, such as thistles and dandelions.

This weed puller gives you a V-shaped head to really get to the roots of the weeds you're battling. It boasts a long-lasting stainless steel and hardwood construction, meaning you should be using this weed puller for years to come.

If you're weeding in loose soil, a claw-style tool is a strong option. It can help you rake, rather than dig, the weeds out of the earth. The tool has a four-clawed head for great grip and is made of stainless steel to ensure durability.

The handle of this tool is made from solid hardwood, with a handy hole so you can thread through string or twine to hang it for storage.

If you're looking for a long-handled weeder, this Garden Gear puller gives you a metre's worth of handle length to save you from too much bending and stooping. The long reach claws will soon rid your lawn of weeds, while aerating it in the process.

The foot plate help you get purchase on the weed and the handle boasts a comfort grip-style finish to try and save your palms from blisters.

Tried and tested by Modern Gardens Commerce Content Writer Amy-Mae Turner: "This Garden Gear weed puller was tested on plants that had been left growing in the ground for several months, so it had its work cut out for it. It rose to the task with quick and effcient weed pulling action. The claws do take a plug out of the ground but I found the release mechanism very effective at pushing out the pulled weeds, making the job quicker.

I found this weed puller has a comfortable handle, and if you need to really use force, there's a second hand grip halfway down the handle for two-handed weed removal. However, in my experience, using the robust plastic foot pedal to get a targeted purchase on the weed was enough in most cases. The food pedal folds down for more slimline storage. If you're looking for a weeding solution that avoids too much bending, this is worth consideration."

The loop design of this kind of weed puller is perfect for working in tight spaces, such as around plants you don't want to pull up. Because of this, this kind of tool is also a popular option for weeding hanging baskets and window boxes.

While this is only really effective on shallow-rooted weeds, it's a handy tool to have in your weed battling arsenal. This Berry&Bird option has a stainless steel loop and an ergonomic ash handle.
