Accident with angle grinder ( warning )

Nope, it'd have just cut right through the glove too.

I won't use an angle grinder without the guard (and this is why). If I can't do it with the guard, I use a diffferent approach.
Plasma every chance I get.
Thing is... seams
I've had the wheel disintegrate a few times...
Wire wheel on a trigger, caught a mechanic's glove on my left wrist and just dug in as I let off the trigger. Would have caught the vain in another revolution or 2.
The right glove important. Good fitting leather gloves without lose wrist bands and that wouldnt have happened to me. I didnt think. You're safer not wearing ANY gloves with a wire wheel.imo

Might I recommend these fine items for protection from the angle grinder..
