Hi! I've got a lot of weeds growing up from gravel paths and I need a specific tool that I can't find and might not even exist. The weeds I'm talking about are actually easy to just pull out by hand, but I really don't want to spend all days bending over as my back wouldn't appreciate that! :~) So, the sort of tool I'm looking for is something like one of those 'grabber' things that people use to extend their reach to pick small things off a shelf or off the ground. I actually have a couple of these and they are useful for picking up small branches from a patch of woods that my dog runs around in (I call these branches 'eye pokers' as I've had two dogs get scratched corneas from branches on the ground). BUT these things don't have the 'grip strength' to grab onto the weed hard enough to pull it out - the weed slips right thru the jaws. I can't use the kind of weeder you step on as it would pull up a lot of gravel along with the weed, I just need to grab the weed above the surface of the ground and pull it out. Does such a thing with a strong grip exist?? Thanks for any advice or help with this! :~) :~) :~)
