This garden tool helped me get rid of weeds fast — and it saved my back

Grampa's Weeder picking up a weed .

I'll admit - I never gave much thought to the gardening tool I used to get rid of dandelions. Like my colleague Camilla, I've used a two-pronged weeding tool to get rid of dandelions for years, and it works well. Even better: it costs around $20.

However, my wife decided to use some Amazon points and take a flier on another weeding tool that cost twice as much, but promised not only to rid our yard of dandelions, but save our backs in the process.
