Abstract
A weeding tool for selectively engaging, gripping and removing a weed from the ground.

A jaw activation lever pivotally extends from the handle that also becomes a fulcrum after the jaw closes on the weed to remove the weed from the ground after it has been electively gripped in one continuous motion.
