$30 and a new tool.

(or spend more if you want a quality angle grinder.)

Always wear eye protection - and even face protection - when using a
rotating wire brush. Those little filaments of steel sometimes come
loose and fly through the air like a harpoon.






The admonition to use eye-protection is a wise one.

A guy I knew years ago was using a chisel without wearing goggles. He
ended
up with a chip in his eye and had to go to emergency.

When removing the chip, the guy had to be AWAKE, EYES OPEN. The doctor
said, "Whatever you do, don't move your eyes or blink". So my friend was
forced to watch as the doctor dug around in the white of his eye to remove
the chip.

Can you imagine? Can you?

Cannot imagine it because I had to do it three times. Twice while wearing
safety goggles, and something went past them. Once while caught in a desert
dust devil, and some plant matter got stuck in there. I wonder now if with
the super magnets if they can just pull out ferric debris. Old welders used
one hair off a horse's mane.
