Default Angle Grinder - Exhaust Removal - Will this do the job?

As the title asks, will this Halfords 860W Grinder (£14.49) be OK?

Cheers

definitely, the sparks can damage the paintwork too. Worth covering everything up

I used a hacksaw and two blades.

The feeling of accomplishment after 30 minutes was well worth it!

(Oh and total cost approx £5)

Although it'll get threw most of it without a problem, as It's only a 4 or 41/2 inch job it won't reach all the way so you may need to cut the last bit by hand (or go from the top then bottom).

Cheers Mark.

Just the one? Like all good tools a set of different sizes is better, 1 1/2", 4", 4 1/5", 7" & the daddy 9", it's all good.
