Mwaaaaahaahaaahaaaaaa!

heh

The power plant where I used to work had a full assortment of what you
call rattle guns. We call them an impact wrench. The grandad of them all
has a 3.25" square drive. The sockets fit nuts 6" across the flats. We
suspended it from the crane and took two people to operate.

DAGA-DAGA-DAGA-DAGA-DAGA-DAGA-DAGA-DAGA. He he he.

An angle grinder is not about putting things back together. That is for
wimps and Blue Peter presenters. Destruction is a mans game.

An Angle Grinder only needs to be On to do it's work, the rest of the
magic is the responsibility of the operator.

Can you steer your shower of sparks, can you make then go left and right
and up and down and round and round as lay down patterns in the air?
Your so called UberGrinder is a child's toy.

You're from Essex, right?

Use it to chop out the errant apostrophe in that sentence then, oh
Senile One.

Steer? *Steer*? I lay out beautifully aimed lines of exquisitely
accurate sparks. At precisely set[1] angles.

Now there you have me. It is. Big child though.


[1] Albeit all-too-often wrongly calculated...

 

Is that the one that expired on the motorway?

How exactly did that story end?

Heh, and no need to keep going to the engineer's supplies shop and buying

Oh well, guess it's time to put the grinder attachment onto the
compressor. Vffff Vffffff Vfffff.

Doesn't make anywhere near as nice a noise as the rattle gun.

 

Oh no, it's its replacement. E34 520i Tourer. At it's post-purchase
service (260 quid for the inspection II... ouch!) they said the disks
and pads needed doing.

Got the car dragged off the motorway, train home. Returned the
following morning pulled my stuff out the car, pulled the battery out
and a couple of new relays off it. Patted it a fond farewell and sent
it off to the crusher.

Life's hard and then you die.

 

Hmm, nice car.
Mine cost me £700 this week: service / wiper motor / brake fluid change and
new radiator - big ouch. Still, at least it's recent appetite for water
wasn't the head gasket as I suspected, so I'll stick to Plan A - keep the
bugger long term and run it until it won't run anymore.

Indeed, when I first moved to Bicester my old Honda Civic only made the
journey from my folks house once.
Next time it came out of the garage we towed it to the scrappy and got the
princely sum of £12.00 for it.
Fair brought a tear to my eye it did (I liked that car, had a superb 3 tone
paint scheme - rust / primer / black hammerite)

I quite like it but don't like the 23mpg I've got in mixed driving.

I regret buying as quickly since I was panicking since I didn't have a
car. WHilst I'm happy with this one I'd have liked the 2.5 or 3l lump
on the 'may as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb' principle. The
2.5td lump is also a lovely bit of kit but those cars are pricey in the
tourer versions so I'm not convinced it makes economic sense.

Yeah, it's an ouch. It's a big ouch that I'd put mine through it's MOT
shortly before it expired including 150 quids worth of brake work.

Running cars into the ground, it's hard work judging when to scrap 'em!

Cool! What does it do when you run it backwards, put metal back on?

I want one.

I was kind of assuming the presence of some sort of locking mechanism to
prevent this.

Having said that I did once watch a friend plug-reverse a lathe from
highish speed. It had a screw on chuck that briefly chased us around his
workshop.

 

In a sort of "brief but rather exciting" sense, perhaps?

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Pip

Yes, exciting is one way of putting it. Picture two burly blokes trying
to climb up each other to get off the floor.

 

I'm trying to. Were either of you clothed? Were you wearing your gimp
mask?

 

I use both at work... dump the airsaw, go for the rattle-gun...
