I need to borrow a tool to cut my spring perches off of my struts.

Angle grinder? I got one of those. I'll throw a regular grinder disc on it(I usually cut with it) let me know when you want to pick it up.

Marcus - I have one too -- not sure who is closer, me or Chuck. I'd be happy to give you a hand doing it. I'll be doing mine soon too.

It's a required tool IMO :) Nothing gets through metal like one (except for a plasma torch)

Wow, that's really cheap. I will have to stop by China town and get myself a father's day present. What kind of grinding wheel should I get?

Thanks.

Get a 5-pack of cutoff wheels (thin for cutting straight through, they break) and 1-3 grinding discs (thick for grinding/shaping last for long time)

I have the same model as Mike and it works very well for the price.
