Garden Life Hacks You Should Know

OMG, No! First off, just go buy a weed eater. 2nd, I work with right angle grinders, they are not meant to be used like that without a safety guard. The wire used is going to break off and be launched into your leg. Why do you think weed eaters used nylon string in the first place? You're likely going to end up spending a lot in medical treatment cancelling out any 'savings' in not buying a weed eater.

Wow, you reinvented the weed eater from yardsale that's gauranteed to hurt someone/something...wow!

steel wire , no guard , fool

There is a reason trimmer wire is plastic. As it wears and stresses it will break apart. Plastic is pretty flexable actually. Now think about if you bend a wire 100 times. You can break it. Now think about after this wire fatigues and splinters off at 10000 rpm. That can stick in your leg or worse like a metal dart. Plus metal has a much higher weight so it has more energy when it breaks off flying farther than plastic string. The plastic slows prettys fast as it it light vs its air resistance. Think of a foam nerf dart. Fast at first but slowes quickly vs a bullet. Anyway tired this with speaker wire when i was about 12 to do the yard chores. Figured saved myself from replacing that pesky weed wacker wire. LOL. Nice till little chards of copper stand stuck into my leg. I consider that a cheap, " but painfull" one of many life lessons. LOL. JZ said it best "It's the hard knock life for us"

Irresponsible hacks that will hurt or maim.

OMG you owe me 2:57 of my life back

Well that's certainly one way to loose your fingers!

Looking forward to the video on how to repurpose my edge trimmer into an angle grinder. And no I'm not being serious.

la base de la idea es buena, pero peligrosa una tras otra la maquina sin proteccion el cable de red por el suelo con esto los accidentes estan servidos

While it's an unusual way to use an angel grinder, and obviously effective, it's also incredibly un-safe. There is a reason for the gaurds that they come with. And normal trimmers use a semi soft plastic in case parts break off while in use. Starting it with a bare hand could result in a loss of a finger. Buy a real one and save yourself the potential trip to a hospital.

I am using such a thing atm actually. Only difference is that mine uses plastic cord so its somewhat safer and I have a large protective circle around it. Like the one that is originally on the grinder, but much larger and with wheels.

I realize you're probly not in America and I realize not everywhere has walmart. But seriously... grass trimmers are like 25 bucks.. just buy one

How to destroy an angle grinder and have a colorful trip to the hospital in one easy step!

Angle grinders are probably one of the most dangerous power tools in the shop. Congrats bud, you just made yours even more dangerous!

The one I bought works just fine thanks for that.

Not to mention all safety concerns, the grinder will ingest so much dirt it wont last long.
