PPE

 I have reached the stage in my life where I have had to buy my own angle grinder. All I have used it for so far is wirebrushing my rusty railings and cutting the heads off rusty bolts in my rusty railings. Pretty much everybody I have mentioned this to has told me a horror story about how dangerous angle grinders are, and the importance of protective gear. My brother nearly lost his big toe to one, a friend of a friend nearly lost his whole foot to one. I was wearing goggles, ear defenders, gloves, a welding jacket and sturdy boots just to cut the head off an M8 bolt.
