Only gripe so far is that there's a mounting bracket for the blade that seems to take up about 1/3 of the diameter causing an uneven cut. But with heavy tree cover in my yard, I only have a few sections of thick grass to worry about.

I always used to lol at the electric mowers. My last house I mowed a little over 3 acres so had a Gravely 60" zero turn and loved it.
My new house has very little yard (Texas) and now I wish I would have bought a battery powered push mower instead of the gas powered one I got. It's a Honda and it starts easy and runs good but the new battery mowers have become really good.
It probably won't be long until I switch.

I can’t see how someone would think the Fiskars tool makes things more difficult. It’s super easy, and very idiot proof. Makes me think that you were using something different.

Just position the tines over the center of the weed, plunge it down into the ground, then rock the tool back on that little foot that’s sticking out. Pulls the entire weed and root out with ease.

Then slide the orange collar forward to shoot the weed off the tool into a bucket or whatever.

I don't remember what color it was. Sounds the same though.

1. Position the tines over the center of the weed.

2. Plunge it down into the ground.

3. Rock the tool back on that little foot that’s sticking out.

4. Pulls the entire weed and root out with ease.

5. Slide the orange collar forward to shoot the weed off the tool into a bucket or whatever.

That's 5 steps to pull 1 weed vs. -

1. grip weed near the base

2. pull

Glad you like it though. Could have something to do with the type of grass. I had some tough old St. Augustine runners at the time and it was annoying trying to target the weed, but not the runners.
