Lee Valley Mid-Length Crack Weeder

The mid-length handle is what sold me, since a full-size hoe is too unwieldy between my raised beds and a short hand tool leaves me hunched over. It pops dandelion taproots out of the gaps in about two seconds each, and the tip hasn't bent yet after a month of hard use.

Weeds between my patio pavers used to mean kneeling with a knife. This thing slices them out in one pull, and the narrow tip gets right into the half-inch gaps without gouging the surrounding grass.

The mid-length handle saves my back when I'm digging weeds out of the patio cracks, way better than kneeling with a short tool. Only gripe is the tip could be a touch sharper for dandelion roots, but it still gets the job done.
