    Best tool for removing welded tabs?

    you could grind the welds down close to the base metal and if you grind too far you can always weld a bead to build it back up , I personally would use a gouge tip and wash the weld out but that would mean a trip to welding supply but you need to do that anyway if you need gas.

    I do have grandkids, that like to ride bicycles and also like to work on them just like I did when I was a kid. That means that I've got to go to the store and find some kind of foolproof hookup that won't let my boxes fall over on them. I couldn't stand it if they got hurt.
