Exclamation Armed and Dangerous...

Whoohoo! This isn't about something I did yet, so much as show and tell for the thing I bought to do it with! I got sick and tired of trying to remove the bars on the Zoo Zone with side cutter pliers because I didn't have any big enough and for some reason my metal hacksaw just wasn't hacking it So I went surfing to find a better tool and found, on sale, one of these:

A ROTARY TOOL!

Jobmate 36-piece Rotary Tool Kit | Canadian Tire

OK, I know it's a cheapie, but it's my first

Just imagine the trouble I can get into now!

Just glad I live far enough away not to be in the fall out zone! :P

Looks great though - you will have to let us know how it stands up to those tough zoozone wires!

Lol Hope, fall out zone? Thanks

Hehe! Thanks Amethyst

I haven't even used it yet. I tried to read the instructions last night and was so tired I couldn't quite see how they related to the machine I had in my hand, except for the advice to "not abuse the power cord".

Besides, one shouldn't operate machinery when one isn't at one's best, like this morning. Later today I may get a chance though. I will definitely post about that!

For all you Canadians out there this thing is on sale this week for $10

Thanks princess-rhi, that's good advice for anybody! Don't worry though, I spent many years operating everything from chainsaws to front-end loaders so I've got the safety thing down

Nope, I had an early morning appointment with the doctor to try to sort out my attacks of vertigo. But I brought the tool with me so the friend I was visiting afterward could give it a try

Leg warmers are comfy. I miss the 80's!
