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.


I know what you mean. I'm referring to evil things with horizontal woody
stems that run for several feet. The only "stand up" tool that'll touch
these is a pitch fork or spade, and other than exposing such roots for
further attention, they're the wrong tools for the job.
