Is there an easy way of getting annoying small weeds out of a border? Rather than getting down on hands and knees and breaking my back, is there an implement I can buy that goes into the earth and pulls them out? Or maybe there is an inventor out there ...

Yeah a hoe is good for disturbing weeds that dont have deep roots. Even if they do you might "upset" them for a bit. I have a dutch one that "goes both ways".
I'm sure there has to be plenty of long handles other tools too, if difficult to find look where they sell things to make life easier for the elderly or disabled.
Or, you can do what I often do and find something waterproof to sit on (an empty compost bag works well) then you just shuffle it and your rear along as you go down the border with your trowel, etc..
Oh and yes there is a tool with a long handle to pull up weeds but it works better on firmer ground, such as a lawn. I have one but don't recall the trade name: just look for "weed puller" and check the well known brands.
