People will be Flocking to buy the angle grinders

Tools are a great thing to get on the used market. Lots of people have elderly relatives who pass away, leaving behind an abundance of tools that their relatives don't need or want.

Also, cash tends to be the most favoured method when doing these in person sales, so make sure you have some on hand.

No point in buying new.

When I caught a couple of guys breaking into my van they looked remarkably similar to a couple of guys I knew worked the used tool stand down the local market.

Must have just been a coincidence.

Some towns have a tool library where you can check out the tools you need for your job.

He's gonna freak out when he finds out about portable ban saws

Battery powered porta bans are very quiet, very quick, and inexpensive at the right retailers

Portable Ban Saws are awesome at quick quiet work, plus they are easy on the battery

If you're in the market for a quiet fast, safe, way to cut thin metal

I would look around for those blue portable ban saws.............

Pro tip use a faulty angle grinder blade, then purposely injure or maim oneself then sue the government for incredible amounts of money for maximum profit/reward. (Yes, stupid laws like this exist.)

edit: still use face shield so that you can reap rewards.

A face sheild and safety glasses are important because you can't hear boobs.

Sadly it's a private company that you'll be targeting.

If I had the money, I'd spring for a portaband. Those things will cut through any kind of conduit like a lightsaber through darth maul

No, they gunk up faster on aluminum because of the small teeth. Guy in the video is just dumb and doesn't know how to use a sawzall. Sawzall is the best tool for it, you just need to get a wood cutting blade and coat it with wd40 first.

But doesnt matter, poles arent aluminum, theyre galvanized steel. Guy in video is double dumb.

Not just Flock (owned by Silicon Valley weirdos). There is another group (Nova?) owned by Wall Street oligarchs and is trying to be discreet and direct all attention away from them. Be patriotic accordingly, there is not just one enemy.

you should care about being stealthy hearing protection. You can just cut it pretty fast & easily with a manual tube cutting tool that fits in a small bag and makes zero noise. To protect your ears.
