Product description of the manufacturer
The telescopic weed cutter from the Hausprofi brand is a product that can be used for gardening. The weed cutter features an adjustable handle length, which is available in two versions: 91 cm and 117 cm. This flexibility allows you to work comfortably while standing, eliminating the need to bend or kneel. This effectively protects your back and knees, which makes working in the garden longer and more pleasant. The innovative automatic rebound system ensures smooth use. With just light pressure on the sleeve on the handle, the weeds are automatically released, fall easily out of the machine and the device springs back immediately. This mechanism enables a continuous flow of work, without interruptions due to manual cleaning or readjustment. Thanks to the scientific lever principle and the robust stainless steel claws, removing even deep-rooted weeds is effortless and energy-saving. The device is ideal for removing various plant species such as dandelions, thistles, nettles and other root crops in soft soil. It can also be used in a variety of ways for transplanting seedlings. The set includes a practical garden bag that makes it easy to collect weeds and leaves.
This accessory makes garden maintenance more efficient and helps with organisation and cleanliness in the garden. All in all, the weed cutter is an indispensable helper for anyone who wants to organise their garden work comfortably, effectively and without straining their back .
Advantages
- Adjustable handle length
- Comfortable working while standing
