Kat:
The vibration from the grinder will cause your fanny to wiggle quite a bit, so don't be surprised!

Hmmm...would that be what WE call a fanny, or what the BRITS call a fanny?  or both? :ecit

I would imagine a slightly different reaction as to which "fanny" is wiggling........ :ecit

The one steel pipe piece... kind of fell off. It was rusted though/battery acid.


There's still 2 bolts that did not come completely off.  :po


Back to the garage to mess with those last 2 stubborn bolts!

There's a HF not far from me. I was just worried about buying a grinder from there, because the dremel tool I bought from there is craptastic.  :sad

You will be better off doubling your money and getting the DeWalt.

Now see? Wasn't that easy? 

The nice thing about the grinder...if your man starts giving you lip, whip out the grinder and start it up...

It made my garage smell like smoke.  :puke

Getting some of the bolts off was easy but the two that are still stuck are not playing fair and won't come out as easy as the others.  :cry
