What is the reason for the plastic wrap? Won't the tool overheat because the front air holes have been covered?

That is so stupid.

That is so stupid.

Agree, one of the first warnings (among many ) is to never use wire! A piece of wire coming off of something spinning at 10,000 rpm + will bury into that bare leg real quick. I was using a knot wheel on an angle grinder and had on heavy denim jeans and a piece came off and hit me in the family jewel area

This is as useless as the teats on a Bull. Anyone who sees this and tries it should immediately be institutionalized.

I've said this before just because something can be made out of a 4 1/2" angle grinder doesn't mean it should be.
While I can see times when something like this might be handy but not without a string guard, maybe adapt a disk guard off of a 9" grinder and use trimmer line instead of the wire rope

Would have been easier and SAFER to pull them out by hand. What a tosser!!

Years ago I was wire brushing off the last of some sealer and paint in a car body prior to washing down so I could weld the base plates in for a roll-cage wearing a leather apron too but a tiny bit of wire went through my overalls and jeans and into my leg just below my knee. Never felt a thing.
Next day about lunch time my leg started feeling stiff and sore. About 20:00 hrs that night I was in hospital. My leg just blew up. I had a bad case of sepsis and was flat out in a bed for three weeks. Major pus eruption when I finally got the useless doctors to lance the big boil that formed.
I suit up big time whenever I'm using an angle grinder. Seen and had the odd disk fracture as well. No joke.

I knew a guy who put a circular saw blade on a 9" grinder and removed the guard so it would fit. He then climbed onto an ICB cubie and got lifted in the air with a forklift to prune a tree. The result was quick and predictable, he never regained the use of his arm.
