Title: Works, but breaks after 15 minutes of use
Product review: Got the Speedy-Weedy and immediately took it out to try. My yard is ordinary soil, no clay, adobe, or rocks. It worked swell for about 15 minutes, pulled 15 dandelions. On the 16th weed it started acting funny, way too easy to rotate. I examined the tip, where the prongs join to the shaft. A yellow, thin, PLASTIC housing ferrule joins the prongs to the shaft, and that's what broke. Two of the prongs were mashed against the other two, making it useless. The prongs are sturdy 1/4-inch-thick steel, the shaft is sturdy aluminum, the handle is solid, but the thin plastic ferrule is garbage.Good concept, poor execution.
