Crabgrass & Weed EXtractor Drill Bit
The disclosed invention describes a device and means for removing weeds and the like from the ground. The device is a simply attachment for a drill. The device comprises a body with a shaft protruding from the center and at least two prongs protruding from the opposite side of the body at distances equidistant from the center. The free end of the shaft is placed into a drill and the prongs are forced into the ground so that they are placed around a weed. The user operates the drill, spinning the prongs around the weed. The prongs entangle the weeds roots and bore a small hole in the ground, allowing the user to easily remove the weed. The prongs are then placed into the ground close to the hole and the drill is slowly operated, thus refilling the hole.
Weeding tool system and method of use
A weed removal system includes a first handle integrally attached to an elongated hollow outer shaft; a second handle rotatably attached to the outer shaft; an inner shaft slidingly engaged within a cavity formed by the hollow outer shaft; and a tool secured to the inner shaft and configured to engage with a weed. The method includes adjusting the overall length of the outer shaft and the inner shaft; exerting a downward force such against the outer shaft and the inner shaft such that the tool applies pressure against the weed; and twisting the first handle relative to the second handle while the tool is in contact with the weed.
