I thought that I would probably be writing this letter based upon what I read on your website.

The Extractigator is great! I researched your competitors and chose your tool for removing buckthorn from five acres. I thought that the Extractigator was going to be the better unit for the price. The tool exceeded my expectations. It is well made, the leverage on the plant is great and it is a bonus to me to be buying something that didn't have an overseas "made in..." label.

As soon as mine came in the mail I ran out to try the Extractigator, but

before I went to the Buckthorn I thought that I would give it a try on some Lilac shoots that had been bothering me for some time. Wow. I had struggled getting them out over the years and it has always been tough, but the Extractigator did it! I knew that the Buckthorn was going to be easy after that. It is.

The Jaws open wide (no bending over), the handle was comfortable and, as I wrote above, the leverage is great.

This tool is well designed and made with good heavy components.

In soft soils something needs to go under the bottom plate, but the size is

right. Too big would make the tool heavier and more cumbersome.

Nice going Gatorman and thank you.
