Fast, easy and permanent way to remove weeds.

Clint's Dandy Digger is a garden weeder designed to deliver a lethal dose of energy with the least effort directly to the root of the problem. It is simple, powerful, and easy to use -- a real back saver!

  • Removes Long-rooted Weeds Intact
  • Weeds Removed While Standing
  • Minimal Ground Disturbance
  • Sturdy Angle-iron with D-grip Handle

The picture shows a yellow handle. What will be shipped is the tool on a 1.25" diameter unpainted wooden handle.

All tools are custom made by hand

Uproots weeds -- about one every 5 seconds. The ground rises like an earthquake around the weed, and the plant pops out! Dandelions are no match for the Digger.

After using chemicals, frequent mowing, hands and knees with a crowbar and mallet, Clint Jones invented the Dandy Digger for his own use.

The praises for this weeder, from people who gave it a fair test, are absolutely fabulous. People say that it's so easy to pull weeds that it's actually fun! Read the testimonials under Other Notes.

How Does it Work?

  • The success of the digger lies in how it is forced by foot perpendicular into the ground about two inches alongside the root, with the "V" side towards the root, to the full depth of the foot bar. Then as the handle is swung downward the whole plant will begin to rise as the point of the tool swings up. As the tool point pivots upward forcing the ground apart like an earthquake it breaks and loosens the soil while pushing the root out and often causes the whole plant to jump out of the ground.
  • The entire tool is less than 1 1/2 inches wide. This allows a minimal disturbance of the ground. The broken soil slides past both sides of the beveled edges of the tool allowing the root to be pushed out from beneath. With the root thus loosened, it is easy to brush the whole plant away with a swipe of the tool point or pull it out and then a stomp of the foot replaces the divot.

    Since there are no moving parts, the tool is easy to maintain. The tool is protected from rust and corrosion by yellow powder coating.

40" overall length Digger with 1.25" diameter wood handle for an extra long life. Blade is 10" long and is stainless steel.


Reviews of Clint's Dandy Digger

The Washington Post, Wash. DC, GREEN SCENE by Joel M. Lerner, Pres. of Environmental Design: "Clint's Dandy Digger is phenomenally versatile. I haven't been this impressed with a tool since the Weed Eater string trimmer of the 1970s."

The Detroit News, MI, GARDENING by Nancy Szerlag, Master Gardener: "I am plagued by nasty weeds, such as Canadian Thistle. Fortunately I have found a tool that dispatches these dastardly devils with a minimum of effort. When my clay soil is wet and heavy, I use Clint's Dandy Digger to do some serious weeding. I can dig out a 2- to 3-food Canadian Thistle with 6- to 10- inches of root attached in about 5 seconds."

Atlanta, Georgia by Daryl Pulis, past President of 1700 member Georgia Master Gardener Assoc.: "Clint's Dandy Digger does a great job of loosening up the wild privet that grow in my woods."

Whidbey News-Times, WA, IN GOOD THYME by Mariana Graham, Whidbey Island County Master Gardener: "I have personally tested Clint's Dandy Digger and it works very well. It not only makes child's play of dandelion removal, but does a good job of ousting my least favorite weed, thistle."

Peninsula Daily News, Port Angeles WA, REGARDS RAYNA: "Clint's Dandy Digger is by far the best weeding tool I have ever seen.. and we are no strangers to this line of weekend work."

The Rapid City Journal, S.D. by Cathie Draine: "One of my favorite tools is Clint's Dandy Digger. The tool is simplicity itself....it can be driven into the ground with foot power. To remove the entire plant and root, one only needs to pull back on the handle. The weed with root intact pops out. The tool works; it makes my brain nerve cells jingle with joy just to think of it."

San Jose Mercury News, San Jose, CA - Holly Hayes, Feb. 15, 2002 Headlines: "DANDELIONS BEWARE FAST AND EFFICIENT DANDY DIGGER" Clint's Dandy Digger is ingeniously simple. It works like a very narrow spade."
