Title: I think my angle grider is out to get me... Post by: cormy on September 25, 2017, 10:09:22 am I use a grinder with a wire brush attachment to remove rust and corrosion from many of the projects we all do. It really cant be beat for removing paint, rust, corrosion in a quick manner. Unfortunately the tool has caught my clothing several times wrapping its self to my body, has removed portions of my skin on my hands, caught a wire and flew out of my hands down the driveway in a crazy free spin until I was able to pull the plug..
To protect myself from the flying strains of metal that become detached I wear glasses and overalls and will not use it without heavy gloves ( I have the scars from past times with out them). I'm surprised I haven't been more hurt using this thing, but like I said it does the job... I just think when it tries to fly out of my hands that its trying to get me.. :oh: Title: Re: I think my angle grider is out to get me...

Post by: davethebirdman on September 25, 2017, 04:01:59 pm I think i'd be looking to see if there is anything else available to do the job more safely. Be careful my man. You only have one pair of hands, eyes, ears etc... Title: Re: I think my angle grider is out to get me...

Worth every penny.

I blame faulty design and not Skynet. Be safe Title: Re: I think my angle grider is out to get me... Post by: BONOVOX on October 15, 2017, 10:33:02 pm Funny.... I had a girlfriend once like that :laugh:
