What is the difference between the 4 claw and 3 claw Fiskars products (I mean as far as types of weeds/roots it works on? Difference in durability? Th

Sorry I don't have the answers. I live in a very sandy area and have been pleased with the 3 claw model for pulling sandburs and crabgrass. As the soil is extremely sandy it works great, heavy soil may be a different story.

I bought all three but I agree with Alice. It depends on what you plan to use it on. I have used my very little because I am 78 years old and my days of mechanicing are limited. I tried to remove the blades on my lawn tractor with the larger tool but my grip is not firm enough any more.

This is a tough one. 1st I find that it works better to pull it not push it. 2nd it works best in loose soil. The power switch is easy to hold. I love it for keeping the weeds out of my flower beds. The best little garden tool I own. I have had it going on its 3rd year. Hope that helps. Del

all are the same if you look at the Husqvarna web site. Different sellers and prices which probably depends on when the companies placed them into their warehouse. Maybe different models from Husqvarna along the way but are they physical differences, unknown. I have one that I use when cutting trees and when running the weed trimmer. Works great.

It is strictly useful for one weed at a time. It is too time consuming to pull up multiple weeds. It is very good for larger weeds, but useless and time consuming for multiple weeds.

It works great on large weeds. It is not the tool I would recommend for many weeds in your flower bed. Too much work. You would be better off with a three prong weed tiller than the fiskar. I was a little disappointed in all the work required per weed with the fiskar. Check Lowes, etc., for a better weed puller.

3-4hrs..and runs blower..5 min...weedeater.. 15-20min...headpruner..10-15min. but none work well after about 5min...slow down. Only Plus, quiet, quick and easy to use, and would probably be ok for small yard/landscaping project that is already well manicured, and you want just a quick easy clean up. my recommendation..DONT GET IT! Try the newer Litium versions, there supposed to last up to 10X longer, but I haven't tried them..I use tried and true GAS tools...Fast, powerful....but loud and sometimes a pain to start.. GOOD LUCK LINDA hope this helped

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.

About same as a weedeater but seems much heavier because you are holding it up if you are trimming tree limbs.It works great if you do not put too much pressure on it and just let it feed through the limb. I cut up to 6 inch limbs off with it and smallervones really zip off. If it is a big limb cut some off the bottom first so when it drops it does not jam the chain. Also watch your head when it comes down, ask me how that feels. I now wear a hard hat for cutting limbs.I am 75 now and have about 4 acres with about 20 big trees.

I'm primarily a landscape photographer. I've had both styles, with and w/o the base legs/feet. For me the "tri-claw" base has proven fragile (I broke two) and very unstable. Your experience may be different :)

Honestly I would go with something else these are pretty crappy after using them. They are easy to use but in my opinion id use piranha pruners. Good luck you'll be happy with both but the fiskars have gone down in quality and I no longer use them.

How well it works on clay depends on how compacted it is. With deeply rooted weeds in heavily compacted clay, the tool is very difficult to use. I had some issues with my heavily compacted clay, where it was unable to grab the weed.

Laurie, I have no idea why it was discontinued or that it had been discontinued until I got this inquiry from Amazon. I am very satisfied with the one I bought. It does a good job at trimming grass and weeds in areas where you can not use a string trimmer or lawn mower. It won't cut large tough weeds, but then it wasn't designed to do that. I'm sorry to hear that you can't buy it anymore.

I don't know. But I will tell you this. I've had mine for 2 years, and I've not been disappointed. I recently re tilled a 20x50 garden spot with mine because a 4 tine tiller I borrowed would not get down in the dirt. This little thing has the power to dig and go. You will not be disappointed.

Aww man you're gonna make me have to go see cuz I honestly can't remember. I hope you appreciate this and you owe me a beer....... Ok, it will roll backwards but the blades do not. It is however a fairly heavy bugger and I expect, with proper maintenance, to get a lifetime of usage out of it. I bought it mainly as a backup for my power mower. It does not, however, cut weeds for nothing and I don't know why. I believe because the weeds are so flexible they slide right through. But in a way that's a good thing as then you can spot the little bastids and kill them.

It does make the handle longer and doesn't impact the stability of the tool. The 4-prong make it much more effective in removing the roots as long as you apply slow steady pressure on the tool.

I live in Michigan and it works very well. The teeth are about 3" long. They grab the bulk of the root and it easily pulls out the whole weed. Worth the money.
