Now that would be something, and it was why I could not give this Mandolin an elusive 9 stars out of 9 marking, the absence of music lost it a star. |  |

It cam with a safety glove. What a thrill, what a ride, a piece of kitchen equipment that came with more safety kit than the chainsaw I bought a while back. |  |

Bloody hell! Was the dog destroyed? P.S. Why are dogs 'destroyed' and not simply 'put down' in the eyes of the law? |  |

Given they both come with a glove, the main thing is not to get the mandolin mixed up with the chainsaw. The results could be interesting! |  | |  |

No, the chainsaw didn't come with a glove, it came with nothing. Your advice is still good though. |  |
