What stands out the same, is the quality of the materials (handles, push-button) which can not entirely convincing with its simplicity.
Nevertheless, I took the Unkrautstecher course in operation. The rotary technique you out quickly. By two "spikes" that serve as gripping arm stung weed falls partly back out. Power actually nix, but because you have to bend over and can be likened to the ground "by hand" the weeds stand.
The strength that you have to spend, initially seems ok, prolonged labor, it is but then already stressful.
In addition, the bar, the one used for outside shooting of engraved weeds bent, after a very short time. This then immediately made the device unusable.
In short: It's a cheap mass product that does not deliver what it promises.
I have then gained a Unkrautstecher Fiskars, who was of course slightly more expensive, but everything has: A side kick "board", with which one can pierce deep into the weeds nest, 4 instead of 2 pincers, so the weed does not fall right back out, a mechanism for "reloading" (read: reliable weed out shooting). In addition, hours of work is almost effortless process here! The thing I am penetrated weed patches, where the Unkrautstecher GARDENA at the mere sight would have preferred even melted.
So: Dear spend a little more for a higher quality product, which reliably does its job!
2 stars because
- It actually stings weed if you order stands weeds
- Priced more affordable
- Sufficient for light, occasional work sometimes
