Monica or others,
Did anyone ever compile any notes/documents comparing these pullers beyond the below?
Am looking to buy and also thinking this would be an interesting poster for Cal-IPC volunteer trainings.

Thank you Jon! You are the third vote of confidence for the extractigator. I’ve only heard one negative vote for it, “This one has a rocking lever, this means that the “pull” doesn’t start until you are already halfway to the ground. So you don’t get as much “umf!” for your effort.”
Did you have this issue?

I have purchased and used both size Extractigators for the Claremont Canyon Conservancy in the Berkeley Oakland hills. They are great. Easy to use on French Broom. Only negative is that they require a little more room to place them than the old ones that are nolonger made.

If you test them all out you need to write it up for Cal-IPC News to share with others!

Hi everyone
I need weed wrench ordering advice!
As a reminder, and for those of you not originally copied, check out Maria’s nifty research on weed wrench alternatives, below. Has anybody tried any of these or others? Suggestions on what to get and where to get?
Thanks!
Monica

Hello weed wrench users,
I found that nifty image on the web. It looks like we are not the only ones mourning the loss of the weed wrench. The good news is that there now seem to be some new alternatives. I propose ordering a couple of each ASAP to test before our large tool order.
Here are some candidates. Do any of you see any issues with ordering a trial version of any of these?
The Uprooter – This one is modeled after the original weed wrench and is said to be a new and improved model designed by a guy who worked for the original weed wrench company. It has a nice patriotic flag but also looks like it comes in the 53” size only. Works on stems up to 2” diameter.
The Pullerbear – Bonus: You can weld your program name on it for FREE! Comes in different sizes and versions Contractor grade vs. Heavy Duty. The biggest one works on stems up to 3” in diameter.
The Extractigator – This one is has the best name. It boasts that it’s design increases the leverage with a variable pivot distance allowing the operator to use body weight as the advantage – not physical strength. The big size works on stems up to 2” diameter. The Junior is recommended for 1” diameter.
Thanks,
Maria
