Get off a stubborn grinding wheel with no tools (to speak of).

[cognitdiss]

Ok so I borrowed the lever arm from an HF (Hossfeld type) bender and an old strap, but a rebar bender (the 3 knuckle type) or some uni-strut or really any other scrap would have worked fine too, you are basically just making large filter wrench.

If you layer the straps around the knuckles (cross bars) correctly they will self tighten against themselves, making a very frictive belay, and because they pad the wheel you won't put a scratch or a gouge on the wheel. Made a really annoying task really easy.

Maybe if I taught a shop class or ran a busy production shop I would make a purpose built tool, but since I only need it a couple of times every other year I will stick to this kluge.
