Sounds like the nut used in hand buffing/grinding tools, too.
Yeah....PITA at times.
I can understand why, for those types. But not for a grinder like y'all use.
My problem is getting cramps in my hands and arms. For I'm the machine..:rofl2:

I have learned to put those nuts on a bit snug instead of cranking down.
They do get tighter as you go. I don't seem to have any issues any more.
What he said. I put the nut on just more than finger tight now too. The natural tendency is to overtighten.
I agree with you guys, about tightening the lock nut finger tight.
This time the problem was using a 7" grinder one handed (Red Green style) while hanging off of a ladder. I was cutting some structural steel and got the cutting disk caught/jammed multiple times. Sometimes, not very often, getting the wheel caught up can tighten the nut crazy tight. I am just happy the wheel did not break.
Yeah, a grinding disk makes a wonderful lock washer!
Oddly I've never had this problem with my angle grinders.
That is odd Victor
I laugh at videos.
Everyone uses a 4 inch grinder.
For anything!
Looking at Vintage tractors, you often find a Forgemade specialty wrench for THAT tractor, for one bolt on that tractor..
I always imagine an older gentleman farmer saying to himself, "That will be the last time that bolt gives me headaches" :p
