A neighbor introduced me to one of those tools -- it's called a hori
knife -- and I hardly use any of my other tools any more. Nothing, but
nothing, gets stuff out of the ground the way it does. Yes, I have to
stoop to use it, but it does such a good job that the weed is far less
likely to come back because a bit of root has been left behind.

It also does all the other things mentioned in the link.

I use something similar and have found it to be absolutely
indispensible - I bought mine from A. M. Leonard.

This one is a lot cheaper than the "hori" knife earlier posted.
Wonder if it's a different mfgr or?

It's the A. M. Leonard Co.'s house brand. It's plenty sturdy, works
just like the hori, I just love it and have bought one for my mom,
also.
