The Weeder Prong just seemed such a natural fit to the Prong range. It is very light and easy to use. It is NOT a heavy duty digging tool. I got the idea after looking at a whole lot of brown spots on a neighbour's lawn. They were out poisoning the weeds and for weeks had to put up with brown spots on their lawns. That does not stop the pesky local dogs peeing on their grass. The Weeder Prong with its long shaft and D-Handle can make light work of broadleaf weeds in grass.
