The main benefit of the Popper is that it is a faster and easier way to totally remove honeysuckle bushes.
Faster and easier than what, you may ask?
Since there is no other tool designed just to remove honeysuckle , I am comparing it to the currently practiced method of removing them, which is digging, chopping, and prying using a combination of a mattock, shovels and an axe. The high physical exertion required for this method is what inspired me to invent The Honeysuckle Popper. I had tried a couple of the weed pulling devices on the market, and they worked fine on very small suckles; however, they were totally ineffective for suckles over an inch or two diameter.
You can easily remove 2-4 times the number of honeysuckles with The Popper in the same amount of time and with less physical exertion.
I back up what I say with this guarantee:
* If you do not think The Honeysuckle Popper is the fastest and easiest way to remove bush Honeysuckles by hand, or if you are unsatisfied in any way with the tool, return it for a full refund including the original shipping charge.*
Other cool things about The Honeysuckle Popper:
- Brings honeysuckle removal within the realm of hiring labor for removal projects.
- Two people working together, one using The Popper and one balancing and pulling on the shrub can do major damage to a honeysuckle patch quickly.
- Using the Root Breaker position, you can routinely remove larger honeysuckles that are too strong to be removed with a single pop. See the Honeysuckle Popper garden tool in action HERE
- Two people, each with a Popper, can engage the root ball from opposite sides and pop out suckles twice the size that one person can.
- Can be used to remove other species of shrubs that have a similar root system
- Its good exercise to go out for a few hours 'poppin suckles'. You accomplish something while you're working out!
- Not only all that, The Honeysuckle Popper also has handy uses around the shop as a lifting or lever tool. It is good at moving and removing rocks.
BUILD YOUR OWN POPPER
"Its just a lever, I can make one of those." Is something you might think. I would. My response to that is: Of course you can, they've been making levers since cave man days.
As long as you're making it for yourself, and don't try to sell any, I invite anyone that doesn't want to, or cant afford to buy the tool from me to use the pictures and videos and try to copy it for yourself. I have some good closeups around the site, I tell you how long it is, so you should be able to figure out the right proportions. If you call me, I'll even tell you the right kinds of steel to use.
Please do not be one of those that orders the tool just to measure it and see what its made of, and then promptly returns it with the "I'm stupid" excuse. Only 3 have done that so far, out of 1200 sold, so thats not too bad, but, I lose money. Please, just call me instead, I'll tell you how to do it.
Go ahead and make one if you can, as long as you're killing honeysuckles, I'm all for it! BUT before you do, read on;
There is more to this tool than what is obvious. I spent a lot of time engineering and testing the optimim lengths, heights and materials, and here is a likely fact:
Overall, you will save time and money and you will remove a whole lot more bushes if you go ahead and buy my tool now.
Here is the process: First, you will say " I can do that with my spud bar and a 4x4", and you'll go out and try that and find it works ok on the smallest bushes but as soon as you try some larger ones, you will bend the bar. After you reverse it a few times to bend it back it will weaken so much that its useless. (I did)
Then, its "I need a better spud bar" and you'll go buy one of those heavy duty spuds. (20 pounder) You'll be able to get out some more with that, but you will discover the 4x4 block will not stay in place and you are always trying to adjust it and on uneven ground its almost impossible. The bar slips around and it just doesn't work as good as the popper does in the videos. After a while, because you will apply leverage with the fulcrum too far back from the tip sometimes, you'll bend that one till its useless too. (i did)
Maybe next, you will eyeball that 40 pound spud that railroad workers use. But, having common sence, you realize that is too heavy to carry around and use.
Ok, now 6 months have gone by and you still haven't removed very many and you dont have a tool that works. The solution? You need to copy the popper better with an attached platform because you can see that will work better. Maybe by then you will have figured out no solid bar will work very good and you need something like I have, which is a pipe with a solid tip inside it.
You may have noticed I use square tube, but you don't have any of that laying around so you decide to make one with some round pipe and an old horseshoe stake or something. (That was my first prototype)
You will discover that round pipe bends just as easy as the spud bars and you can't make one long enough to get good leverage without it bending. (every time you bend it, it gets weaker) You need 6 feet. A pipe wont cut it, unless its at least a 3/16 wall and 2" dia., which ends up too heavy at the length you need. It will work though, but you'll be lugging around 35 to 40 pounds. (I did)
Another 6 months or a year has slipped by and you still haven't removed a lot, and you still don't have a popper that works as good as mine. You've seen my videos several times and can tell.
Now, if you go to a steel distributor to get some good steel, you'll see exactly why this tool is expensive. Then you'll either buy a popper from me, or you'll just say hell with it and forget about it.
During that period, while your screwing around with inferior tools and thinking up reasons not to do it, I have popped out about a thousand honeysuckles.
Quite a few folks that buy the popper say that they have been thinking about it for a couple years. During that time your honeysuckles have grown 2-4 feet and are harder to get out.
The popper is well liked by many people, I guarantee it works good, so its time to quit procrastinating and go ahead and buy one. Your woods will thank you.
