Well I finally got it done today, angle grinded bolts off, drilled bolts out of manifold, only 1 accident, angle grinder kicked back, and with it having no safety guard on, cut through half my finger, ouch, got it wrapped in tape, holding together, as i can not be arsed going to hospital.

Much as I like you you really can be a d!ck at times tease

I do stupid things like using cutters without guards, and , like you, hope it doesn't go wrong.

If you've been cutting off rusty old bolts with that thing you'll have bits of it embedded in your finger, so despite any other damage you may/may not have done you need it cleaning out, properly.

Go to Arrowe Park drop in centre (to the left of the main A&E doors, next to the chemist), you'll get seen quickly and should be in and out within half an hour, unless the nurse takes one look and faints, in which case you'll be pushed through A&E quite quickly smile )

I know, it's a pain, I know, you have better things to do, and I know, you'll probably be fine, but, like Angle Grinders without guards kicking back when you thought that would be fine, sometimes you have to be sure laugh
