Was organizing my garage over this weekend, and when I looked at my cultivator, manual edger, hatchets, pickaxe, and other tools with pointy ends and sharp edges, I thought "wow, that's actually quite the arsenal."
Y'know, to go along with my 2A tools too. 💪🏼💪🏼
Power tools are good for self defense too. Save the garden tools for the cleanup.
Take the guard off your cordless mini saw.......
Just don't tell the OSHA feds
Maybe the cordless electric chainsaw would be better.
I had a friend who hoped to be challenged to a duel so he could choose chainsaws. For regular tools these can't be beat. Dutch farmers are well armed!

That's the fanciest shovel I've ever seen.
I bought it because I had never seen such a shovel, and it is a quality item, like champagne compared to the Gatorade of a Home Depot shovel.

I'm kind of partial to my 600yd+ tools.
If I have to rely on lawn implements I’m done. I’ll stick w 5.56.
That's a really long fishing reel!
this is how the Japanese farmer/peasants made weapons when such were prohibited
Good sharp carving knife, a sharpener, some wood, nails and string. You could make quite the set of weapons. I watch too much dystopian sci Fi. Or Rambo would do too.
Sometimes I'm lazy and leave random tools around outside. Handy to not need to walk far to find something useful when you need a snake whumpin stick.
Our blinders are off - NO WAY they are EVER taking our guns without a fight.
Be a whole lot cooler if you had an M249S tho wouldn't it
Anyone with a brain can make a weapon out if almost anything. Our brains are our weapons.
I've always believed the mind is the best weapon. - Rambo
I've always considered knives and things like you describe as allowing a potential threat to get too close. Rifles are best at keeping threats away, pistols second best, and hand weapons like you mention as a distant third.
I've got a hammer....
A hammer in my hand....
Knifes, sticks, a spear makes. Ax....
Your hands ....train.
Farm equipment was the original weapon of opportunity!
A good wheelbarrow for when ya see that flash as bright as a hundred suns!
