There are so many issues with this video.

When using power tools, safety should be your number one concern.

  1. Never use an angle grinder without the blade guard installed. Is it inconvenient at times? Sure. But you know what else is inconvenient? Trying not to bleed to death or being blinded over what should have been a quick and easy job.
  2. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE). That includes a heavy long sleeve shirt, gloves, safety classes, a dust mask, and a hard hat (especially when cutting poles or other materials that are vertical and have a risk of falling).

Also, a portable band saw would cut through like butter compared to an angle grinder plus it's orders of magnitude quieter. I can get through 4", 3/16 drop posts in like 20 seconds with a band saw and it's much safer

welp, that's a thing i haven't seen before

Also, keep the shoe of the reciprocating saw firmly against the workpiece to start, and throughout the cut.

Definitely, if cutting down aluminum posts in public, the most inconspicuous thing is doing it im the daytime, wearing a hard hat, tinted saftey glasses, a high vis vest, saftey gloves etc.

Have your spotter dressed in the same attire but with a clipboard.

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 11 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

As someone who has worked as a professional construction clipboard holder. You can literally do whatever you want as long as you have a clipboard and a hard hat.

Don't forget the hi-vis

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

If you're dressing up to take it down, you're better off with wrenches to take it down properly. Everyone going to know what you're doing cutting it in half. Make sure to wear electrical insulated gloves(also good for hiding finger prints), cap off the live wires with wire nuts and leave a traffic cone.

Taking it down properly makes it easier* for them to put it back up though

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Unbolting a broken post before putting a new one up is marginal effort. People should be using a variety of methods depending on the circumstances and to keep the authorities guessing.

[–] Redjard@reddthat.com 21 points 1 day ago

Make sure the glasses are not heavily tinted, else you'd be unidentifiable so your friends wouldn't hit you up on a conversation when they happen to walk past you.

And not to be forgotten, hearing protection.

I offer (sometimes only mentally) a hearty Fuck You to anyone making that joke when they find out I have hearing loss.

Earring production? What?

Good call. My low grade tinitus should have reminded me of this one.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The hard hat especially. A professor at my college died from shrapnel to the brain, and they had taken every precaution but that.

Nope, just an unlucky trajectory
