Zassou tawashi translates as weed scrubber, and that is how it works. A semi-oval comb of corrugated 3.25-inch stainless blades sits under a small wood handle; scrub it along a crack and the teeth catch and cut the weeds at the root line.

  • Corrugated semi-oval comb blade
  • 3.25-inch Japanese stainless steel
  • 3.25-inch wood handle for tight spaces
  • Scrubs weeds out of cracks and crevices
ModelNJP2500
Blade3.25 in, corrugated stainless
HandleWood, 3.25 in

Good for

  • Sidewalk cracks
  • Brick and paver joints
  • Edges of patios

Tip from the peg wall

Work along the crack, not across it. The teeth follow the joint like a comb through hair.

I Was Wrong - More Than Worth It

I was really skeptical about buying this but it was $5 so I figured why not ? When I got it, I was even more skeptical, it was small and seemed so flimsy. I thought for sure that using it against pavement would snap it in a heart beat. I WAS WRONG ! I have a motorcycle pad made with pavers, so I get the occasional weed growing around the edges.

Surprisingly effective

I’ve tried using trowels and pressure washers, and this thing beats them all. Hands down. I think the corrugation is the key. It makes quick work of severing or dislodging the greenery that insists in growing in my driveway and pool deck cracks/crevices/seams. I’m really impressed with how quick and easy that was. It showed up this afternoon, and I had all my cracks cleared, front and back, in about 10-15 minutes.

Pleased with the tool. Sharp, so a few caveats about using it. Handy. Will continue using it.

Bought this for weeding my zeric rock garden which became inundated with cheat grass. Tool is sharp, does the job well, but with a few caveats. Tool would work best for those with smaller hands. My hands are medium women's hands, and I could use more handle to grip. The second is a concern about how I used it to be most efficient.
