We’ve had almost 3 straight weeks of rain. The lawn is going wild, as are the weeds. We get lots of weeds and crabgrass in our yard. While I dislike the weeds, I get a somewhat perverse satisfaction from getting some of them out. Wild onions in particular. Every time they start to rear their ugly heads (or in this case, stalks?), I feel an overwhelming desire to yank them out. But, being a weed, that isn’t always as simple as you might think. For starters, I just don’t like yard work. It’s dirty and tedious. Plus, it makes my body hurt, especially my back and knees. I want the weeds up but don’t really want to devote tons of hours doing it. I bend over and do my best, but in the end much of the time I don’t get the whole thing. And you know when you don’t get the whole weed that there’s a weed right underneath the surface just waiting to poke through again before you know it. Weed Zinger makes it much simpler to deal with weeds.
The Weed Zinger is a unique upright weeding tool that makes weeding easier. It also has the capacity to actually make weeding fun. How does it do that? Well, the Weed Zinger has an internal spring and trigger mechanism that let you “shoot” or zing the weed you’ve pulled into a pile or trash can. Weighing only a few pounds, this lightweight tool can be used by just about anyone, even a child! In fact, kids may have so much fun “shooting” the weeds that they don’t even realize that they’re helping do the yard work.
The Weed Zinger is really easy to operate, and takes only 4 steps to use.
- Place the cutter over the center of the weed
- Put your foot on the pedal and push down
- Turn approximately 90 degrees (or 1 turn)
- Pull up, pull the trigger, and shoot the weed with roots into a disposing container
The Weed Zinger is perfect for use on crabgrass, dandelions and many other weeds. being made from steel, the tool is very durable. Its also eco-friendly in that it enables you to aerate the soil without use of any chemicals. For those of us that wind up in physical pain after weeding, I’m happy to say that weeding will no longer require constant bending over and kneeling. And, if you’re not thrilled about playing in dirt like me, you’ll be happy to know that the Weed Zinger keeps your hands clean too! I found the Weed Zinger very easy to use. I appreciated how much easier weeding became with the use of this tool. While my weeds never traveled as many feet as the website says they can, I did find it was much simpler and more convenient to zing my weeds into one pile that I could pick up at the end, rather than stopping and bending over to pick up each individual weed like before.
Adults and children alike will enjoy the Weed Zinger. Using it can even be turned into a challenge or game. The tool comes with a bullseye. You can assign points for each shot made, varying the number of points assigned based on the distance the weed traveled. The one with the most points in the end wins.
Here’s a brief video showing the Weed Zinger in use. (Sorry it isn’t larger, hubby was holding the phone the wrong way.)
If you have to contend with weeds (and who doesn’t), be sure to check out the Weed Zinger. The Weed Zinger is available for purchase online from select retailers including Home Depot (green $19.99) and QVC (pink $22.32), amongst others.

That is so great! I hate to weed. It hurts my back and knees so much. The Weed Zinger looks like an excellent alternative.
We need this for our yard. We have some dandelions and wild onions that are starting to come up.
I think it would be a blast to invite friends over and challenge them to a shooting contest. We have the run of the mill foxtails that we weed-whack. The weed zinger looks perfect for the other notorious weeds that you mentioned and prevent lots of back strain. I’ll look for it at Home Depot.
I really need this for my home rental, trying to keep up with weeds is hard! This would make it easier to get the flower gardens back in shape!
This seems super easy. I’d love to try it on some of the pesky weeds in the ditch near the road.
Pulling weeds is never fun, which is why I typically make the kids do it. It seems like the Weed Zinger can definitely simplify the situation.
I make my kids do ours they find it fun lol. But this looks pretty cool and simple that I would even do it.
I’m ordering this right now (seriously). If you could see the outbreak of weeds in our yards and garden you’d die. I don’t want to use chemicals and my back hurts when I have to keep bending over!
I love this product, it would be easier to take off weeds. I will have one for my grandma, she loves gardening.
I’d say that is getting to the root of the problem.
This seems like a clever invention!
After watching your video, I would like to get my hands on one.
This would be perfect for my Mom. She loves to work in the yard but has a hard time bending. I will have to pick up a Weed Zinger for both of us.
This actually looks like it could make weeding fun. I know it appeals to young and old alike. The younger ones will like it because you can shoot the weeds and the older because you can weed without bending over. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like a very useful tool! I wonder how someone could think of its own mechanism on their own, I’m amazed at how we can think of many more ways to efficiently do garden and yard tasks.
We just moved to a rental property where the grass is mainly weeds. Wish the previous owner had used these!
I love the name Weed Zinger funny! I know pulling weeds can be annoying so great this makes it easier.
Pulling out weeds is one of the worst tasks on this earth! It has to be done if you want a healthy yard or garden and this looks like just the thing to make the process better.
I usually am the one that has to pull out all the weeds as I go around the flower beds. This would be great for me to have.
What a great asset to those in the garden! This looks like it will be great for someone that loves to garden but just doesnt have the back strength to keep bending over and plucking the weeds.
