Questions & Answers
I use a small brush that only needs to be wet. I then use something small and flat to push any debris trapped in the openings on either side of the teeth out.
This is something I bought specifically for dandelions, and it really works. Finding the root and double-checking that you've got everything is the tricky part. Then twist your jaws and pull the weed up with your hands.
This tool is fantastic, and all I have to do to move on to the next weed is flick it open. A Master Gardener suggested that I use this tool. There isn't a spring-loaded one that I'm aware of, and I looked.
There is no mention of a warranty on the card it was attached to. I noticed that the warranty information on Amazon says to contact the manufacturer (which I haven't done).

These were a bit of a treat. Nobody really needs a pair of weed-specific needle nose pliers. A pair of $2 dollar store shoes will suffice. Serrated jaws have not performed as well as standard plier jaws in my experience. These jaws may have overly sharp teeth. A normal plier's flat surface provides more surface area against the weed shaft than a needle plier. These jaws are a little longer than a standard plier, which is a plus. These have been entertaining to try out, but they are a gimmick in my opinion.
Dandelions and other weeds with tight root systems respond well to the use of a weed puller. You'll need a small wire brush to keep the dirt out of the groves in the jaws, according to my observations. If not, the jaws will fall off the weeds and be rendered useless. Another use for the wire brush is to clean out the open slots in the sides of the jaws, which collect dirt and must be pushed out.
These are extremely useful for weed removal. I agree with some of the other users that dirt and rocks can get in the way, but once you get to the root of the problem, they work great. I use these to pull weeds in a rock landscape in Arizona, and they work well. Every now and then a tiny rock gets in the way of the jaws closing but 80% of the time I get the weed with no problem. They're fantastic for pulling weeds by the roots, and I highly recommend them.
The Lawn Jaws' performance has left me very disappointed. Prior to receiving the Lawn Jaws, which I had eagerly anticipated, I was using a long-nosed pliers, which was much easier to handle and manipulate in my hand; however, while the pliers did not always grasp the weed as effectively as I would have liked, they did not cut the weed as effectively as the teeth of the Lawn Jaws. For this product to be truly effective, the handles must be 50% longer and thicker and rugged, so that one can grasp it better. Furthermore, the teeth are too sharp and should be blunted to prevent the weed from being cut when pulled.
This item was purchased concurrently with the Yard Butler G- Green Line Weeder is a weed that grows in a straight line. It's well-made, and I like how the substantial teeth face backwards toward the handles, gripping the weed or grass clump. I attempted to grab the clump with regular long nose pliers with long handles, but the teeth were not aggressive enough. This product, along with the weeder I mentioned above, is one I recommend to anyone looking for a tool to pull weeds. This is an excellent product.
I'm not sure why the business was given a higher rating than needle-free. In ergonomics, on the other hand, nose pliers are useful. The design isn't at all ergonomic, and it's actually quite difficult to use if you want to remove multiple weeds from a given area. Consider cutting with a pair of scissors with straight arms and no loops for your thumbs and fingers. Because the tool doesn't have a springback, you'll have to manually re-start it. Every time you use the tool, it must be opened. The looped handle of an ergonomically designed tool eliminates the need to contort your fingers or use your second hand to reopen it.
They aren't spring loaded, so they don't re-open automatically. open, you must pause what you're doing after each weed and re-weed with both hands. Jaws should be opened. Ineffective to a fault. Returning to uprooting with one hand and pulling with the other using miscellaneous tools. I can see how this device could be useful for gripping weed roots that have been ripped off but not attached, but wouldn't any large pair of pliers do the same thing? It's a pity, because I was really looking forward to getting this product.
Because of the recent rain and cool temperatures, I decided to pull a few of the weeds that I have the most of, namely White Snakeroot and maples. This tool sped up what would have been a time-consuming process otherwise. Both of these plants, particularly the snakeroot, require a firm grip as close to the soil as possible to avoid breaking, but the Lawn Jaws allowed me to pull the root 9 times out of 10. (The moist soil also helped. ) I gave it four stars because I believe there is still a lot of room for improvement. The teeth do have a tendency to fill up with dirt quickly, so a springback would be beneficial.
