Lawn care hypothetical.

Had a Mexican helping us on a job who encountered a copperhead while we eating. His default answer was beating the snake with the head of weedeater as opposed to just cutting it in half like a weed.

He would probably resort to the same solution for a pack of hogs.

I have killed a rattlesnake with my weed eater. Was not something I set out to do that day.

Are they big gnarly boars, or are they like this one I saw in a corn field last week?

Probably just the little ones. They always seem to be a lot more common.

Trick question. You're not getting a mile from the truck with an electric weedeater.


Well now you done changed the rules in the middle of the game.

I'd say electric is the better choice.
You don't have to have it already started. it's always at the ready.
You can be stealthy until you need to put your finger in that trigger guard.
It's always got one in the chamber so to speak.

You ever hit an extension cord with a weedeater? You just went from having a snake problem to having a 6,293mph snake problem.

I'd have beat him with it, too. Or just resigned ownership of the tool in a quicklike manner.

If he didn't skin it for the belt and eat it he's not a real Mexican, probably an Indian on the run. Or a sleeper cell haji
