A weeder which a user can use in a standing posture, comprises an operating shaft having a longitudinal bore and a grip provided at an upper end thereof, the operating shaft having a length long enough to allow the user to operate the operating shaft in the standing posture while grasping the grip, a support rod telescoped in the longitudinal bore of the operating shaft, a chuck mechanism arranged at a lower end portion of the shaft for pulling out the weeds by the roots, the chuck mechanism including a pair of first and second frames and a pair of first and second chuck pawls for pinching the roots of the weeds, the first frame supported to a lower end portion of the rod, the second frame pivotally supported to the first frame, the first chuck pawl provided at a lower end of the first frame, the second chuck pawl provided at a lower end of the second frame, each of the first and second chuck pawls having a lower sharp end and adapted to be stuck into the ground when the shaft is pushed down against the ground by the user, a linkage mechanism provided between the shaft and the second frame for causing the second frame to be pivoted while causing a lower sharp end of the second chuck pawl to be closed toward a lower sharp end of the first chuck pawl, to thereby allow the lower sharp ends of the first and second chuck pawls to pinch the roots of the weeds therebetween.
