Angle grinder advice please

[rocketmanbkk]

Dear Friends

I need to get some rusted wing nuts of my my mums elderley friends toilet, they are stuck fast!

I am looking at angle grinders, don't want to break the bank!!

I prefer cordless if they are powerful enough.

Looking at 18v?

Ryobi One + Cordless CAG-180MG 18 Volt Green Cordless Angle Grinder (Naked)

Any advice, never owned one before.

Want it to cut through screws etc. Nothing too thick, but want it to be effective, need to buy tomorrow.

Look forward to your replies.

Cheers all

Rocket

never had to use an angle grinder on cistern bolts, always managed with hacksaw either junior or my home made racing cut down junior or just a blade from a large hacksaw

But then you haven't got an excuse to buy a new toy, sorry I mean another useful tool.

Use a taste of silicone grease or Vaseline on the steel bolts & they won't ever rust & seize up.

Dremel is the best tool for this job.

Has been discussed before on numerous threads.

never failed with a hacksaw either cut halfway though the bolt and snap off with your grips or cut though the wing nut and prise off

im with you on this one god knows how some of these plumber would have managed 25 years ago when there were few power tools around
if you have a tool for every job your going to come across in this game youll need an artic not a van
by the time youve gone to the van got the angle grinder and run a lead in it would be done

Angle grinders are great, the bigger the better, though i think i preferred my fingers and eye (don't forget gloves and goggles)

You don't need to use the tools for the job. All you need is the excuse to buy them so that you can sit in the garage and fondle them.

I think Fekro Grinder HU37100 [DLMURL="http://www.endicopowertools.com/electric-angle-grinder.php"]Angel grinder[/DLMURL] is best suited for your job!

Angel Grinder on a dunny? ye gods. Hacksaw will do the job, will give you cramp but it will do it!!!

You normally are removing the rusty wing nut because you are replacing the Syphon if this is the case then I always do it from above inside the cistern.12" hacksaw blade cut Syphon tube in cistern lift off cistern,rusty old bolts in front of you I normally grind the bolt in half with my cordless AG,but junior is just as easy.job done no risk of breaking pan or cistern.

But that's no fun for the guy who has to replace the siphon in 5 years time!!:devilish:
