Abstract: This weeding tool is designed to make removing weeds with centralized, non-distributed root systems easy. The tip is designed for easy insertion into even fairly compact soil conditions that are difficult for many other tools of a similar nature. The unique features of this tool versus other tools of a similar nature is the tip length may be changed in a manner that no other tool of a similar nature has, to optimize the tool for the weeding conditions, and the tip itself can be changed out for other tip designs, even for non-weeding purposes, such as a shovel or a pick.
