Any recommendations for a tool (gas or electric) to take care of this
quickly?

Have a really bad so shoulder so shy away from anything that you have to
pull to start. Have been using a corded electric Ryobi (it uses an .080
line) for the last 6 or 7 years, it works as well (in some cases better) as
any gas eater (in the .080 line class) that I have used in the past. RM~

PS, I like the Echo .080 hex line on it.
