it will take out anything your heart desires, be careful i had it twist up around my jeans and almost took my legs off

Absolutely. I worked for me and I have really tough clay soil. I didn't have any really tall ones this year because I caught them early, but it does work on the shorter ones for sure. P.S. dry out those dandelion roots and grind them down. They make a really healthy beverage when you steep them in water!

Haven't tried it on dandelions but it has pulled up weeds in my garden with very deep roots. Water the area first to soften the soil before pulling up the weed then after pulling up the dandelion poor a little vinegar down the hole left that should kill any remaining roots.

Absolutely!....that is the beauty of the thing. As you lightly push into the dirt into the side of the dandelion root it spins it right out of there. And without digging up any lawsn you might like to keep in place. I love these two cheap little tools. I pl.anted baby Aspen trees with the bulb digger. Beats a shovel by a mile!

Absolutely. Make sure that the soil is damp when you use this. When taking out a deep dandelion root, I find it best to drill in from two sides to loosen it. I've only used the weed claw on my flower bed two times this summer. That's all that I needed. It really made weeding fun.

As I remember it took out at least half totally and left some of the root left on some. I got better with practice (angle of attach and whether off center or straight down. Sorry, but I am getting old and my memory is getting pretty bad. The other people's answer's are probably are better to be trusted.

Not really I used a few months ago and my roots don't look any darker, if you do it would be really subtle and you could just spray and it would go away!

I personally do not have much Canadian Thistle, but the few I have used it on, have come up with no problem. Dandelions have deep roots also. That is what I primarily used it on. I can say enough about how much I love this tool. It does an outstanding job!

I would say yes; according to my research you can do it without a rooting hormone. It could take up to 6 months but I would imagine using he rooting hormone would just speed up the process as long as you do not use too much and make it toxic.

I have parsley and swiss chard in mine. The parsley and chard are huge so it seems deep enough for a good root system.

Yes, but it will probably take more than one session, although you will see results after the first spray. Also, it will kill what is above ground, but the root will still be viable.

I don't recommended you try something like that. It doesn't work, unless you want fried crusty hair! Lol. My roots have been damp after a minimum blowdry and it worked Ok. Best Results are after a Good Blowdry

I love this tool, but it is not my first choice for the grass problem you describe. Those grass roots radiate about 5 inches out from the clump, and you will have to cut through those roots all the way around and underneath the clump to get them out. A tool like a heavy duty serrated knife works better -- and much faster.

This is a bit more purified as it is meant for swimming pools. It is still effective. But the best root killer is plain old rock salt. May damage the trees that have the roots in the pipes though.

This material disintegrates naturally. You just plant the fiber cup as is;) It does not impede the roots...

I can't say for sure as I live in the Southern USA. Alot depends on the soils if it is hard compact it will break near the top of the root if the soils is good condition moist and loose you will be amazed at the amount of roots you get. Just be slow when pulling them. Trick I have been doing is when I pull the weed is going back in to the hole and shooting in a little weed killer to get any left over roots.

Let me guess, something large like mung beans? Let them go another day or two, it is most likely small roots off of the main root.

It will kill the stump, and you'll have no regrowth. As far as actually removing the stump, the answer is no with this product. As time passes, the stump will rot and crumble, but it's not a quick process. I used it on rose-of Sharon (large stump), and the stump rotted out and crumbled after about a year. The purpose of this product is not to remove the stump but to prevent regrowth. In that regard, it's excellent. Hope this helps!

It was designed to pull broad leaf weeds like Dandelions which have a long tap root. Works pretty well especially if you get to the weeds when they are young. It is not 100%, it breaks off some roots if they are real long or the ground is hard. So it that is a concern use Crossbow spray.

Remove the larger adapter, then put the smaller Root 6 adapter DIRECTLY into the Dusting Brush. It works well - doesn't have the suction of my DC25, but it works well. Great for removing cat dander from blinds and baseboards.

I wouldn't think so - the action relies on the tool closing around the root - I would think small stones would prevent this

It will certainly go deep enough. What you need to do is small bits a time and make sure you start well outside the clump. As with ALL grasses even the tiniest root will regenerate a clump. This tool is excellent on dandelions and dock. If I had clumps that were large, I would use the transplanting spade. It goes deep, is sharp, and my go to tool for many tasks. It is a dream to use.
