A weed removal tool is provided with an ergonomic handle shape which improves user comfort and reduces user fatigue and risk of injury. The handle is provided with a compound gripping surface which has been engineered and shaped to form a flattened egg-elliptical profile when viewed from the side, and a generally widened egg-shaped profile when viewed from the top or bottom. A strong, non-root cutting or severing, engineered shank is provided for gently loosening surrounding soil for removal of weed roots and is provided with a blunted tip for penetrating the soil without severing underlying roots. The shank is carefully engineered, shaped and proportioned to automatically relocate its operating fulcrum point so as to target, create, maximize and concentrate its soil and root loosening and lifting actions directly within the selected plant's root system. The handle is provided with a recess which is shaped complementarily to the shank and adapted to receive the shank therein, if made in separate parts or materials.
