Pro tip: a client who's a woodworker told me his hand plane technique is all about the angle of the blade, and it made me completely rethink how I hold my clippers.

Yeah, my buddy who does metalwork had the same lightbulb moment. He was always fighting his angle grinder, getting these rough, wavy cuts. He heard that "extension of your arm" thing and totally changed his grip, like @willow_ellis9 said. Now he lets the tool's weight do more work, just guiding it. His cuts are way smoother, almost like they were milled. He said it stopped feeling like a fight.
