Handy tools to have

Also, a 4.5" grinder with a diamond blade on it is a lifesaver. I cant tell you how many times it has helped me out of a bind. Makita grinder and smooth rimmed diamond blade combo ~ $100, and well worth it.

Good tip, OneMoreCast, a good grinder will help you to work more efficiently and save you much aggravation.

Cutting cast iron pipe I used to use a sawzall with hardened blades. I bought some grinding discs in bulk, and now use the grinder for the job, cuts through cast iron like a dream. So what if you use a few discs, it's a lot faster than the old ways.
