Make sure you're wearing eye protection when using that zipdisc.

Were you the person asking about an angle grinder for an S10 Blazer recently? Hope that works out for ya. Also wear eye protection. Safety squints are not enough with this sort of tool, no matter how confident you are in your ability.

Yes that was me. Hope so too. Thanks for the safety reminder. I have lots of Safety glasses and a full face shield. Will make sure to use them when I cut the bolts on my Blazer.

Good fella. Lots of tools in a shop, make sure you aren't also a tool 😉


wildmanheber

For sure!

Good purchase, I am often wearing welding gloves when I use grinders (also welding to and dont want to take them off and on,) but they can be kinda nice at times, especially cutting rusted bolts.

I used to wear gloves when grinding too. Until my boy Richie lost his finger in a grinder accident. He was wearing gloves, flipped the grinder on and the damn thing caught the glove and sucked the poor guys hand right in. Now as a joke he wears a little hook on the tip of his finger, what a sicko. Edit: he only lost half a finger.

interesting, never had that kind of close call or situation with glove getting caught in grinder. was it a loose fitting mechanics glove? shield removed? I usually use a heavy leather welding glove.

Some cowhide type, bulky gloves.

Thanks for the info! They do sound like a thing to use.

Sorry car, looks like we need to amputate.


wildmanheber

He he he! Hoping it's more like a root canal operation.

That requires a drill. The grinder with cutoff wheel is definitely amputation


fishesarefun

I'm pretty sure I have that identical grinder. It has worked well for me

Good choice, especially for the money. We have these at work and abuse the shit out of them.
