"The tool"
Can i just remind people NOT to wear baggy jumpers,sweatshirts etc when using this with the wirebrush attachment !
The bloody thing got as far as my throat before it stalled out and started smoking 
fortunately i had two sweat shirts on so no damage done (though i did age about ten years  )

I managed it too. Expensive grinder but it survived the experience!
I was mighty impressed with the ability of Marks and Spencers pull-overs to survive The Tool!

The Tool?
What exactly is "The Tool"? Drill with wire brush? Angle grinder? Something with a wire brush?
