Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I would recommend one small engineering change. That is to lengthen the shaft about 1/2" to 3/4" because, most times, the plunger at the bottom does not go far enough to eject the pulled weed. I made a fix that partially solves the problem; that is, I replaced the spring with a shorter one. This works OK, but I don't get the full benefit of the spring.I might mention that I bought this over the internet because I couldn't find one in a local store. Since then, [...] has one in stock, which is of similar design, but doesn't appear to be as sturdy and is intended only for very small weeds. Therefore, this one, EZOUT-5 by Yard Butler, is a better choice.
