Woody weeds (perennial weeds) are one of the challenges in oil palm maintenance because controlling them requires a significant amount of time and labor. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a modified hand sprayer as container attached to the worker’s waist on productivity and work comfort. The study compared conditions before and after using the modified weed control tool for 15 minutes under light, moderate, and heavy weed conditions. The parameters observed included work area and worker comfort. The results showed that the average work area increased from 402.96 to 411.66 m² under light weed conditions, from 271.03 to 274.25 m² under moderate conditions, and from 85.15 to 129.42 m² under heavy conditions, with increases of 2.16%, 1.19%, and 51.99%, respectively. The use of hand sprayers also improved worker comfort and reduced physical complaints
