Curses!!!

Went out, yesterday, to get my angle grinding on and sand the stalls.  First, that thing is heavy and I'm going to have Madonna arms before I'm done with this project.

Second, I COULDN'T GET THE DISK OFF!!!  I really feel like I'm not THAT dumb that I couldn't read directions and change the first disk off after sanding for a while.  Nope, tried for ages to get it off.  Could not.  (had tantrum in process, good thing no one was around to witness it)

Brought it to Cottin's Hardware this morning to verify that I'm 1.) a pussy who didn't turn the wrench hard enough 2.) stupid 3.) got a faulty grinder.

Turns out it was #3.  Which, is a relief (I guess), but who gets a BUNK tool that breaks the first time you use it?!

Me.

The spindle button thing was apparently not functioning correctly and not holding the wheel solid enough to turn the wrench and get it off.  So, back to Amazon it goes.

But, now I'm a little scared to get the same one.  Hmmm....


"I even bought the more expensive angle grinder... sob."
