Fiskars weed removal: reviews, owner manual and manufacturer

People who constantly cultivate a garden or a plot of land face different problems. This is an invasion of pests, various diseases. In addition, in the spring and summer, lawns, flower beds, territories on which crops grow, are constantly overgrown with grass. It interferes with the growth of cultivated plants. The Fiscars weed remover is helping to fight it.

Types of weeds

Weeds are perennial and annual. If annual cut shortly after germination, they quickly disappear. Perennial weeds after weeding soon reappear on the surface of the earth, often even thicker and branched. For example, the osseous after cutting the upper part begins to branch and grow. What to do - do not touch it at all or take a shovel and dig a trench in order to pull the root completely or as much as possible of it?

Weeds of this kind are difficult to destroy completely even with the use of herbicides. Under their influence, the plants become much weaker, some of them disappear completely, but many survive and continue to grow further. But in fact herbicides themselves harm the soil and people who eat foods grown on the treated area.

Tools for weed control

The variety of species and varieties of weeds requires a large number of different tools. These are shovels, choppers, rakes, flat cutters, various propolniki. Each of them is designed to combat various types of weeds at a certain stage of vegetation.

Single specimens can be digged with a shovel. Avoid the appearance of weeds on the site before germination of seeds can be treated by rake. A convenient and modern tool is the propeller. He quickly processes a large area, cutting off under the root of annual weeds. But to fight with perennial is not enough, because they quickly grow. Chopping is an old tool, which does not lose its relevance. Without it, it is difficult to do when processing plots near plants. Fokine's plane has great functionality. Its sharp beak cope well with its roots.

All these tools require the use of considerable strength, good physical preparation. The back is constantly in a bent position, the hands hurt.

Weed extractor

How does the weed killer "Fiskars" work?

The principle of the tool is that the device is brought to the weed, dipping its sharp plates with teeth into the soil. The selected plant should be surrounded by tentacles on all sides. Then, with the help of the lever, the teeth are reduced to one point, clamping the root of the weed. Take the tool out of the ground. Together with it, a torn plant leaves the soil.

Inside the handle there is a bushing. It is connected by traction with a movable weed-relief plate. Move the sleeve up. At the same time, the thrust displaces the plate and pushes the weed into a bucket or trash can. To do this, press the button on the handle of the Fiskars weed remover. The user's feedback indicates that it is necessary to remove the plant at an angle to the soil, then root seizure is triggered.

Disadvantages of the weed extractor

Users point out some shortcomings of the Fiskars Xact 139950 weed remover. The reviews suggest that the canopy plates are narrow. Users argue that near the base of the tentacle should be thicker. When pulling the weed, the plates sometimes do not converge at the same point. As a result, the teeth are jammed. There are two possible variants of the development of events. If you start pushing harder, the reset strap made of plastic may break. You can try to raise the tool, dilute the teeth and remove the plant by hand. This reduces the effectiveness of the weed extractor of lightweight Fiskars Light.

Customer feedback indicates that it is not suitable for use on all soils. If the land is very dry and hard, great efforts must be made to penetrate. Therefore, the assertion that it is possible to cope with any device by any person seems to be an exaggeration. User reviews say that on very soft soil the device does not work, since there is no emphasis on the ground. Therefore, we will not be able to capture the Fiskars Xact weed killer.

Reviews of some owners say that the root canal pulls not the whole root, but only a part of it. If it is the root of the sow, then this is natural, because it is much longer than 8.5 cm. And the device of the dandelion should be grasped and pulled out completely.

Some users complain that the device is too weak to remove the roots of sea buckthorn. But this is not a weed, but a shrub. Not intended for scraping shrubs weed remover lightweight Fiskars 139940.

Feedback from some users suggests that you need to adjust to the device.

There is an opinion that it is more effective to use a Fokine plane instead of a weed extractor. You can agree with this if there is a lot of weed grass on the site.

Some users consider the Fiskars weeder price to be too high. The reviews say that it is not worth the money.

Care and storage of the weed extractor

Like any tool that has contact with the ground, the Fiskars remover is thoroughly cleaned after each use. If the soil was dry, you can not wash it, just wipe it with a dry cloth. After working with wet or wet ground, wash and dry.
