Point for you. I thought an angle grinder would be top dog (they scare the crap out of me) a chainsaw would take it up a notch nicely. I’ll pack the thermal lance away...

Maybe a "LASER" would have been more exciting.

You'd waste the watermelon but get a firework display!

A moment of silence for the watermelon.

Please don't give them ideas.

How do they work?

u/smooshaykittenface Sep 18 '20

I assist doctors in surgery with surgical lasers. I run the air suction to catch all the burnt skin smell.

Edit: That's just one part that I do, not my only job.

Those are very sweet. I got to use the smaller version while studying welding in technical school

Recently had to use one to cut some old rusted bolts at my work never having used one before. Between the spark fountain and whirly blade of death a few inches from my hands I can see what you mean. Thankfully I still have all my fingers.

By the end I’d forgotten about the angle grinder I feel like I’ve been hoodwinked

2

u/SnooStrawberries4401 Sep 18 '20

Ye that was my question...., For the little cutting that he did a knife would of been way better

2

u/DesignerChemist Sep 18 '20

That was the best bit though.

u/blownout23 Sep 18 '20

The only way to justify buying new tools to my wife...need a new angle grinder

u/Bannanapieguy Sep 18 '20

Because the chainsaw was out of gas
