    Bet you wind up wondering how you ever got along without the grinder!! I use mine and the Sawzall all the time.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    I got a heavy duty bench vise, and a sawzall was ready to go home and start cutting the copper out of something but when i was at my grandfathers place me and my little bro decided to take a walk through the woods on the edge of his property and ended up pulling about 1500 lbs of steel and out while they were fixing dinner so now im kinda wore out and as a nice bonus i got a 200 lb server on ebay for .01$

    last grinder I had was a little black one, one morning back in the 80s I threw it out of the car window on interstate 5 after a long weekend, In the condition I was in at the time I thought 3 0r 4 black LTDs were following me. lol I really have done it all, most at least twice to make sure I got it right.

    OH wait your talkin about an angle grinder.

    Thanks.
    I left my house for 45 mins had to take son to work and the husband was at work, so if it wasn't for scrapping and a wreck I would had been home or came home in the middle of it. I am taking it as someone was watching after me, even if I didn't know it.
    At least we have clues to who(s) it was, not that it makes it any better, but at least we know something.

    Sorry, shouldn't have bummed your thread, forgive me. Carry on everyone! Lets hear it!

    No...... They broke(busted the window) into the house and stole the few things that would make them a few dollars.

    I did report it, but I don't think it is going to the pawn shops, but you never know.
