I was watching HGTV this morning and was interested in one of the
tools shown in this link.
http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/gl_tools_eq...275036,00.html

This is the specific tool I'm interested in:

Does anyone know where they can be bought? I don't recall ever seeing
one, but I wasn't looking for it either. His looks worn... he says he
uses it a lot, but I wonder if it is still in production.

TIA


I don't know, but if you don't have one of these in your arsenal, you're
missing out on something good:

If I had to have just one weeding tool, that would be it. Amazing. Nothing
argues with that tool.

Joe, that's just another stoop labor tool. I want the pronged one
with the long handle. You just stick it in the ground, turn and pull
out the weed.

I know. I'm just pointing out something you might not have otherwise found.

That tool is common. I have more than one of them.

On day, you'll run into a weed with a woody root that absolutely MUST be
murdered. This tool will do it.

Oh, I wish you'd actually seen the show now. He said when tap roots
are severed, they often revive. That prong thing takes them out tap
root and all.

And, for reasons I can't explain, you'll be
able to do it with a beer in the other hand. Something about the design of
the tool. It's weight, shape, something.

See this tool: you can do it with one foot and one hand (beer in the
other one) without stooping, but long tap roots could only be severed
so you might not really kill the plant.
