Disclosed is a hand-held foot activated extractor useful for removing weed o r turf aeration. The extractor comprises a stick with a top handle and an extractor assembly at the bottom which comprises a hollow tine defining i) a distal hollow frustoconical cutter portion defining a circular inlet provided with a cutti ng edge and a larger diameter outlet, ii) a hollow intermediate portion defining an arcuate wall extending longitudinally from the outlet of the cutter portion, an elongated opening facing the wall and a deflector sloping between the wall and the elongated opening, and iii) a proximal stick connecting portion. The extractor assembl y also comprises a step projecting from the stick connecting portion. In use, a material forced at the inlet of the cutter portion loses frictional contact therein a s it reaches the outlet, and is directed by the deflector from the outlet toward the opening for ejection of the material.
