Proof that lucky never calls without payment

[Tinbasherdan]

I've never made a point of unplugging my angle grinders when I change the discs, I'm not so dumb to pull the trigger while holding the wheel...

A few months back I was changing a 5" cut off disc, took a firm grip of the new disc to hand tighten it..... pressed the wheel lock button....

...or rather I pressed the ON button.....

And mercifully, it was one of the very few times I had actually unplugged it....

Changing a disk on site and the site manager walked past. Being the helpful prick he was he plugged the grinder in to the genny whereupon I discovered quite quickly the grinder was switched on. Luckily had mig gauntlets on. Unluckily they were really nice miller ones and it cost me 40 quid for another pair

I still think so when admiring young ladies. Trouble is, they just think I am a dirty old, erm, chump !

That’s it though, you never update the bottom of the age range you look at, only extend the top, 16 to 60 anyone?

By the time you get through our local A&E you'd either have bled to death, or the wound will have dried up and be scabbing over already.

That is of course, if you get there before 10pm. I kid you not. They Shut until 8am!! Burton Queens is a lot better.

I did EXACTLY the same thing. But it wasn’t unplugged. Luckily it was only my thumb that was pressed firmly on the edge of the disc rather than fingers too! Big scar but no lasting damage!

That was the 18 year old in you thinking that you could!

I never take the guards off angle Grinders. Never had any issue with access with the guard on and if you do then your either using it wrong or using the wrong tool for the job.

I use a cordless M18 grinder with a quick change disc retainer. Works very well and I admit I don't remove the battery like I should when changing the discs but never had a problem.
