the reasons I used the angle grinder are as follows:

1. I had it laying around. And as Big Julie mentioned, I have the fiber cutting discs that dont affect the concrete.

1a. I like using power tools, but dont have a weed-eater. The cheap POS electric one I had died while I was trimming the house the day before.

2. I did NOT want to pull them up by hand.

3. I have a kid and pets, so I dont like to use chemicals if I can avoid it. Besides, that Roundup shit is expensive.

4. I'm cheap.

5. I DO have a propane torch, but you cant use it upside down, as would be necessary to burn the buggers. Someone does make a torch extension (an inverted J shape) that allows you to a) not have to bend over and b) keep the torch upright so it will stay lit. But I dont have one (my dad does though, cool idea) and see #4.

6. End result, the angle grinder was the quickest way to get rid of them. Cut the bastards off nice and even.
