But I think I will buy my neighbor a Cobrahead for Christmas. Thanks!
I use it on Scotch thistle (and mullein, dandelion, myrtle spurge) with good success, as long as the soil is moist. It can pull up a good tap root with ease and a satisfying pop. In dry soil, no matter what you do, the root is gonna snap and the weed will eventually come back.
