Useful tool

I have a tip that has saved me hours of work on bodywork stuff, it's a black and decker powerfile, basically a narrow driven endless belt, this has been so useful in getting into restricted areas such as chassis section etc, it will also grind down welds that may turn out unsightly and awkward to reach with an angle grinder. Belts of different grades are available, but much cheaper from ebay. No doubt a lot of you know all this, but those who don't will, I'm sure, find this a top piece of kit.

Seconded, thirded and fourthed. Astonishingly useful. Shame that they like to break belts, but a lifesaver sometimes.

Yes the belts do break, but if you use the zerconia type you can often wear one out without damage, often not always!
