The first weed wand to arrive for review, the Draper Weed Burner (2000W) slots together in seconds from out of the box, meaning that, depending on how far your Burny Thing Assemble Area is from your home's exterior, you can be up and torching the life out of those pesky weeds in next to no time.
However, that is dependent on where you keep your plug sockets and whether you have a suitable extension lead, for while the Draper's 1.7m cable is positively generous compared to some other models, I found that it simply wasn't enough length for me to reach the middle, naturally most weed-infested, area of my patio from the external power sockets. Obviously, this is a First World problem that's easily overcome, but if you're working to a strict budget, you'll have to factor in the additional cost (usually around £15 upwards) of a, preferably, weatherproof extension.
Packing two power settings to let you go about your domestic arson at your leisure, while a top temp of 600°C means nothing, I said nothing, will escape your weed-hating wrath.
