came across this grinder - uses flexible discs!
Anyone seen or used this? Looks perfect for weld dressing?

To me that seems the magic is in the discs, the tool itself seems to be the same as any other angle grinder (albeit with a soft start)?

That's cool, but also you can get flexible discs for angry grinders
I've got a bunch of 3m green Corps ones, they are pretty good but I must admit my 2 grinders usually have a flap wheel in 1 and a thin cut in
the other

agreed - but the idea of the thin body of the tool is also pretty useful, too?

It looks long, awkward and slow to me unless he was going slow to emphasise how it is used.
Metabo do the same. It doesn't look any good for anything on a chassis, I'd stick
with my grinder and powerfile but my welds are all perfect so I like to show them off
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Sorry, there are just not enough sparks in that video !
What's the point in having an Angry Grinder if it doesn't burn little holes in everything in a 10 yard radius ?

It's a bit detached for me tbh, I'm of the "buy a quality slim bodied grinder so you can use it one handed" school of thought
Until I lose a digit lol
