The GoSystem Garden Weed Wand is a lightweight flame wand designed for effective, chemical-free weed control around your home and garden. It’s ideal for users looking to tackle weeds on terraces, kerbs, paved areas, or gravel paths – providing a targeted solution where traditional methods might struggle. This versatile tool can also be employed for de-icing footpaths during the winter months or even used to light barbecues and campfires when needed.
This butane gas operated burner utilises standard Gogas gas cylinders, offering a safe and controlled burning process at a distance from delicate plants and structures. The wand features easy auto ignition for immediate use and is constructed with black, gold, and silver finishes. The gas canister itself holds 0.35 kilograms of fuel and incorporates self-sealing safety valves conforming to EN 417 standards.
Please be aware that this listing includes the weed burner and two 350g gas canisters. Gas canisters are available for purchase separately, as is the weed burner itself – select your preferred option via the drop-down menu. It’s important to note that due to the flammable nature of the product, shipment is limited to mainland UK only, excluding the Scottish Highlands, Northern Ireland, Channel Islands and other specified locations.
Safety precautions are paramount; keep away from direct sunlight, heat sources, sparks, and open flames. The wand should be kept out of reach of children and pets and stored in a cool, dry place. Always use as directed and remember that inhaling the fumes may be harmful.
