Years ago I saw some fabricators using all manner or cutting discs & sized machined .
They all unplugged the power , put a thick glove on , popped the locking pin and used the gloved hand to unscrew the worn or damaged disc , I asked about the discs slipping as they used the reverse process to tighten them up . They said that they never loosened off if nipped up by a gloved hand hand pulling on the disc blade itself .
I've been doing the same for the last 12 years or more using around 50 slitting discs pa ........ till I got my Parkside plasma cutter .

I've got one somewhere
I can't think of the time I last saw a double spanner jobby
in the garage, which is precisely why it's somewhere in the lost section, just haven't used it in years, needs throwing in the bin when located....
.One of those situations, there's the spanner
, now? where's the grinder or t'other way round.....
Got my dad's 4" Black and Decker from the early 80's - and some discs still! But as to the shaft spanner . . . no idea.

Be easier to fix the damaged lock pin . . . or buy a new grinder
I have a selection of unused, and very rarely used, pin spanners hanging on a hook by the window . . . I think they get more use winding brake pistons back in, or undoing the grease reservoir cap on my SDS drill.
If you haven't already look up the "where's the path" website.Happy day!I just acquired a couple dozen of Ordnance Survey Maps, and others at the local recycling shed. Many cover places I'd be interested taking a bike tour through.

I must admit I prefer a paper map to look for interesting routes / places local to where I am.

You do realise you can undo them with a standard angle grinder pin spanner too?

Now that looks very useful.
I generally just hand tighten and tweak...but sometimes they get too tight and I can never find the spanner!

Step one: Obtain suitable box for grinder and accessories.
Step two: Place grinder and accessories in said box.
Step three: Take box to job.
Step four: Do job.
And here's that one weird trick that the sellers of auto nuts hate:
Step five: Place grinder and accessories back in the box when the job is finished or paused for a significant amount of time.

I had the lock break on one of my grinders so ground an old open ended spanner down until it would fit behind the disc and hold the flats on the shaft.

Overkill for 10BA tapping, but handy.....

Only time the spanner comes out is when the disc has disintegrated and locked itself on.

Despite its tough construction it's only 400W .Overkill for 10BA tapping, but handy.....
I already have a "younger" still vintage, Fein asge 636 which I have already restored (and made a video on YouTube) which is not even the half of this one in dimensions.
But it's rated for M8 taps, but honestly is little bit too much .
I love hunting for vintage powertools they are built differently and it's interesting to see how they built them back in the time.
And off course it's original contents for my channel.
I believe in it but I understand those tools aren't known as a normal drill and it's hard to get views.
90% of people don't know Fein as a brand, and maybe only 1% know what a power tapper is .
Despite that my asge had great numbers considering how small my channel is.
