An Angle grinder's excellent for dismantling chicken-wire mesh panels
from a redundant aviary.

Red hot staples flung around by an angle grinder take 0.6 seconds to
reduce to body-temperature when they land on a bare forearm.

It takes 0.6 seconds to say "B*stard".

You can't wipe red-hot staples from a bare forearm whilst holding an
angle grinder

Wire cutters are easier, use no electricity and don't shower staples.

Try to get them to land on a moist bit of your outer covering.
Since you obviously don't wear appropriate clothing to work, then it's
a safe bet that you don't wear your safety goggles either (let alone
safety spectacles). In which case, try to protect your arm by getting
the red-hot staples to hit you in the un-blinked eye. The natural water
on the surface of the eyeball will decrease the cooling time and should
also stimulate you to use (approximately) 0.4 second productively in
widening the vocabulary of swearing in the English language (Russian is
pretty good for swearing in too - you might wish to experiment with the
other eye!)
As a bonus, if the doctor in A & E thinks that you might be in
the slightest bit redeemable, he might let you practice your
self-control by carrying out the temporary repair work without either
painkillers or anaesthesia. The discipline of holding your own eye-lids
open and staring straight at the business end of a scalpel as the bits
are levered out of their craters in your conjunctiva is really good for
your self knowledge. And the week you spend with your eye under a
bandage wondering if you'll ever see again on that side is also time
well invested.

(Worked for me anyway. Picking the splinters of broken
hardened-steel hammerhead out of the front surface of your specs and
thinking about the 3 hours of fast walk to the nearest tarmaced road is
also well-spent time.)

235 angle grinder with cutting disk.
Cutting 75 x 6mm plate.
Leather gloves, face mask and ear muffs.
I can distinctly remember getting hot and saying to myself,
"go on you weak *******, finish the cut".
My shorts burst into flames and
before I got them out I had air blowing through my underpants too.
I also didn't understand.
But eh! we got the jobs done didn't we Keith.

Ditto my father - sadly he didn't survive, so beware if you are
cutting plate as the stream of sparks is very intense.

Tell that to my girlfriend and she would rip your balls off. She has got
NVQs in welding and car mechanics. She also has a nice girlie job in the
local bakers and a degree in ripping the balls off men*

Adam

*Not seen that certificate yet but I have seen her kick the balls of a 6
foot bloke almost upto his throat after he punched her in the mouth.

But a true "blokey" girl wouldn't rip the balls off anyone.
Instead she'd catch the balls in a net of fine steel wire (as used for
pulling cables, under a variety of names), then hook that up to the
winch on the front of her LandRover, and use *that* to rip the balls
off the offending bloke.

Do not give her ideas. Anyway she has not got a LandRover only a Colt with
body kit, alloys, stupid stickers, child seat, dented OS back panel from
when she parked it etc.

Has she got a hand held liquidiser?
That would be a woman's choice.
