make sure your life insurance is up to date

Seriously you cannot use an angle grinder on a ladder
Unless you have at least three arms


Possible on a ladder but I really wouldn't like to. And most likely you won't end up with a neat result. Won't matter if you're rendering.


Surely, a platform is not that expensive to hire? Apart from the weight
of a 9" angle grinder, it has quite a lot of gyroscopic force. You
really need both hands on the angle grinder.

Mate, a platform is not that expensive to BUY.

I bought one to do my guttering.


If you do use a grinder I would not consider hiring. Not much is worth hiring these days.
