I think all proprietary brands available in your garden centre etc are pretty much the same so long as you get the correct one for the job, there is strong government legislation in place covering the manufacture and use of garden chemicals.
You also need to think about the type of weed killer
Systemic
Contact
Residual

Have you considered a weed wand?

Don’t know about the strongest but I am probably using the cheapest. Diluted white vinegar. Just got some more 5 litre containers of it from Amazon.
There are recipes on Google that use salt and vinegar, diluted.
Seems very effective - at the moment. Am hoping that when it has all been done, the first hint of a new weed will result in a quick vinegar spray! The garden does smell like a chip shop for half an hour afterwards though!

Orwell said "If there is hope, it lies in the proles." Whilst champagne socialists see diversity idealised at university, the common folk experience it first hand in their neighbour hoods.

Weed killer
Thanks for all the replys.
Got a weed burner last year [ good ]
This year tried 4 different gas cannisters [ doesn't work ]
Turning knob doesn't release gas [ Given up as bad job ]
Will try white vinegar and salt for starters then I will try Rosate Glyphosate as my second option and pray ha ha
Thanks again to all for help .Pegleg

Ammonium Sulphamate is a very good compost accelerant, it used to be an excellent product for weed control until it was banned by the EU. One of the few products that could control among other things the indefatigable Japanese Knotweed and Horsetail/Mare's Tail. It is still available, but remember, only to be used as a compost accelerant.
