We just had our first work party with this tool and are very impressed. We have a 1 acre swimming pond that has been choked with long, fine weeds this year over about 2/3 of its area. We attached this cutter to an 80’ long rope and had one person paddle it out to the middle (where the depth is up to 12’ ) using a kayak, with another person on the shore to pull the rope. We are getting massive loads of weeds and roots with each pull—I would guess up to 100 lb at a time. It’s very satisfying! It will take many such pulls to clear the pond, but we’re happy to have found the right tool for the job.

Bought this to tackle Guntersville Lake Alabama floating eel grass. Lake is having historic levels of floating grass mounding up on our seawall. This tool is legit for handling this problem. Could not be more satisfied. Much easier to use than a short handled pitchfork, and the reach is extremely effective.

The weed ripper works very well . I purchased the weeder with the extension poles. Turns out the rope was all I really needed. The extensions are somewhat difficult for me to use.

This works great. I can get a lot done in a small amount of time. It’s a great tool and highly recommend it.

This is the best tool I have run across for removing milfoil from my river (The Pend Oreille). I have used other contraptions in the past, but this marvelous and simple rake does the job better than any other. The tines are spaced apart properly, the height of the tines higher than the competitors, and the thickness of the metal is the best out there. I had my reservations when viewing the pictures, but when opening the package and finally getting it into the water, I was convinced that this was the best. Do not be fooled by wider, 4' models as you have to be able to pull all the weed mass out of the water and anything wider than the WEED RIPPER will leave you straining, worn out, and constantly realigning the tines (as the competitors tines are not as thick as the WEED RIPPER). This tool merits a 5 STAR rating in my opinion.
