WEED WRENCH: It's SAFE, SELECTIVE, PERMANENT, but also FUN & EASY, too!
Weed Wrench™ is a manually-operated, all-steel tool designed to remove woody plants by uprooting. Powerful jaws with an 18:1 gripping leverage are teamed with a 6:1 leverage for pulling even the toughest troublemakers. Weed Wrench was patented in 1987 and for 19 years it has been proven effective from coast to coast on a wide variety of woody plants. Weed Wrench is an efficient, safe, selective, permanent means of eliminating unwanted shrubs and sapling trees. With Weed Wrench, soil disturbance is minimal and desirable plants are unharmed. Persons of ordinary strength can use it effectively after only seconds of familiarization. And it's fun! An important part of Weed Wrench's success has been that most people find it fun to use.

Which Weeds?
It will work on virtually all woody plants. Jaw placement is easiest on straight, vertical stems and becomes trickier (but not impossible) on multi-stemmed plants or plants that lay flat against the ground.
It will work on some herbaceous plants if the stem is fibrous and tough enough so the roots pull out before the stem is crushed to the breaking point.
It will work on previously cut off plants when a stub of the original stem is accessible. It will pull wooden tree stakes for re-use. It will not work on soft-stemmed plants. It will not work on plants which grow in a clump like pampas grass or bamboo.
