THE do-it-yourself craze is leading to thousands of injuries from angle grinders. Almost seven Queenslanders a day are turning up at hospitals with injuries from the high-speed tool, used for cutting metal and other hard materials

Cy, you're now a statistic :(

It isnt as bad as Cyrus, i dont really care if it needs stiches cuz im not letting no doctor stick a needle near me.

Tip - Next time u drill into those blank plastic clip things in your dash use a vise. Holding it with your fingers doesnt quite work when the drill bit grabs.

waa waa waa I am so weak that I didnt even come close to giving myself an injury that warrented a hospital vists!!

:)

jk lb :)

OK list of self inflicted injuries:

1. 3 years old, was seeing how high I could throw a brick up in the air and still catch it. Needless to say I missed, but the brick didnt. Broken collar bone

2. 3 years old, while toboganing down my street my foot snagged a drain. Broken ancle.

3. 5 years old, while ice skating and trying to break the under 5 ice speed record, hit a car. Broken ribs & left arm.

5. 10 years old, riding along beside the gutter with thongs on, got a bit close and my left foots toenails were whisked away in under a second.

5. 13 years old, while riding a motorbike, at night, with no lights, in the middle of a national forest, rode into a newly erected barb wire fence flat out in second. dislocated shoulder, broken arm, HEAPS of stictches and a cool helecopter ride.

6. 15 years old, while snowboarding at night on a closed run, while illegally tresspassing, took a wrong turn which lead to a big drop, ended up in a tree with a broken leg and minor cuts and abrasions.

7. 17 years old, while holding onto the side of a car, riding my bike, I got the speed wobbles around 70kph. Bike hit side of car and went under, left leg went with it. Also took out my left kneecap, which is now a mirror copy of my right kneecap and has a lovey Dow Corning brand name stamped into the back of it.

And they are just the major's, I would not have enough room to list the minors like the grinder incident.

Summary, yes I did have a deathwish and was very very stupid ;)

Hang on a sec, maybe should change that "did" to a "do" :)

I believe the proper term you are looking for is:

Stupendos Moronic Idiotic Klutz

No I just do things which other people think are that way, Ed's got the best sig:

..... only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go

      Once the belt slips it can very easily cause a cascade that encourages more belt slip. Check the pulleys carefully and see if the grooves have cupped. If it has it's time to replace the pulleys. If the rubber has glazed you also need to replace it. Shouldn't be shiny. From the factory there's a lot of exposed fibers(?) on a v-belt that will go away as it's broken in but some should still remain visible without sticking out significantly like a new belt. I went through this on my dad's Camry recently. It would keep slipping even after setting the tension higher, only solution was a new belt.

      Belt polished and/or pulley(s) glazed. Rub pulleys with sandpaper, replace belt.

      Quick Lifts? Anybody got one?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I've also got a quick jack. I would never get under my car again without using it.  While it might be quicker to use a jack and stands, it is such a quality of life improvement that I wouldn't have it any other way now.  How much slower the quick jack is to setup will be based on your circumstances. Can you leave the jack rails on each side of the garage? Can you leave the hydraulic lines attached? etc.  If you can drive the car into the garage and simply push the jacking rail thingos under the car into place, it is super quick to setup and use. But if you have to pull the pump unit out of storage, attach the hydraulic lines, wheel out the lifting rail thingos.... yeah takes a bit of time. Having said that, I would still prefer that to using a jack and stands lol.
