No matter how hard you pound, the square peg will not fit the round
hole.

There is no AC powered tool appropriate for this job. Get her over her
irrational fear of gas power tools, buy a 4-stroke Cub Cadet brush
trimmer, teach her proper maintenance, and off she goes.

Instead of just knocking the weeds down, though, you really should be
looking at ways to KILL them. Insanity is defined as performing the
same task over and over and expecting a different result. Cutting the
weeds down obviously isn't working, as they just grow back faster.
