Angle Grinder 101

[Carl McFly]

If this thread makes no sense to you.... then you haven't read the November issue of Tracks! I'm looking for 101 creative uses for an angle grinder. I'll start the ball rolling and you can jump right in with your (family friendly) submissions. Yeah, that's right.... we don't need no Lorena Bobbitt ideas!!! That's old school. I'm looking for fresh ideas

1) Cutting open those damn plastic clamshell packages! You know, the ones that house everything from USB memory sticks to breakfast cereal

2) Leaving a special message for your S-O…. by carving your initials (or something else to remember you by) into the paint job of their pride and joy, using the handy-dandy grinding wheel!

Ha - love it and although a past experience or two may call for some type of idea going along with Lorena (she wasn't all bad and I am kind of old school), I guess there may be more uses like...

cutting those stupid plastic pieces off our stock bumpers and trimming down wall trim if there's not table saw handy.

Remove a spinning ball joint while out on the trail (also requires a power inverter).

Increase your trips to the doctor or ER room (metal filings in eye(s), various body parts getting sliced open, burns from flying sparks and forgetting that friction creates heat and I've had the wheel to that part for five minutes........)

If your steak is that tough you'd have a hell of a time chewing it. Time to make hamburger
