ABSTRACT:
A weed pulling device includes a handle, a shaft, a blade, a step member, and a leverage member for the removal of weeds. The blade may be integrally formed with the shaft or may be attached to one end of the shaft. The shaft extends partially into the handle for attachment of the shaft to the handle. The step member and the leverage member are attached to the handle and the shaft, either singly or in combination. The blade has a forked portion for engagement with the weed and a tapered portion for facilitating insertion of the blade into the ground. The leverage member may be used for pivotal movement of the weed pulling device, for providing leverage during removal of the weed, and for compressing loose din removed during the weed removal process. The handle is sized so that a person may remove a weed from a standing position, without kneeling on the ground and with minimal bending. The weed pulling device may further include a supra member or metal band attached to an end of the handle for supporting the shaft within the handle, a hole for hanging the weed pulling device during storage, a cap mounted on the handle for providing cushioning, and a cap engageable with the blade for protection from sharp edges of the blade.
