Alternatively, you can do it the easy way, with this blade on a Kombi tool. Faster than any saw on branches less than 75mm diameter, and doesn't have a chain flying off on fluffy bits.

Saw another review yesterday and, combined with the free battery offer ending soon, and somones comment that nowhere has stock, decided I do actually want one of the new XGT pruners, UC029. Sods law, the only show with stock is a bit more £££ so 255 spent, should arrive tomorrow by Drop Hide Lose. Reviews say it has a lot of torque and almost unstallable, so I am thinking it needs a bigger 3/8" sprocket for higher chain speed, 1.3mm bar and a full chisel chain.

Total agree the spout broke the first day, took it back and they replaced it the next lasted a week I gave up using it after that .

To be fair the can itself seems fine, but the self sealing spring loaded cap just gets jammed solid once it comes into contact with fuel after a few weeks, it's almost impossible to open in in normal use and as it's no longer able to close once open, sloshes fuel everywhere. I have put the standard type cap on it now, and tried to get the other one apart, but short of breaking I can't see how to disassemble it. most modern stuff is total shite and has a lifespan of a few weeks.

The old husky fuel can, the spouts where crap, the new husky fuel can has crap spouts and I can guess any new ones will be crap too. As much as it pains me the STIHL can is the best one. I've got Aspen one, expensive but it doesn't leak.

agreed, in fact I have been gifted a few saws that were stored with, and without fuel in them and all have been affected to a degree, some older ones badly. a thorough service and replacement with "viton" parts if possible can be very beneficial to operational longevity. An old mate of mine had his original "Triton" [Norton Featherbed frame, and Triumph T120 bonneville motor] it had a fibreglass fuel and oil tank combined, whole thing turned to mush on modern fuel, fortunately before the engine had "ingested any of it, he has replaced it with a perfect copy in stainless steel, at considerable cost I might add.

Brexit? Stop immigration? Where on earth did you hear that nonsense? By Nigel Farage | The Daily Mash WWW.THEDAILYMASH.CO.UK YESTERDAY, I unveiled my grand new plan to end immigration forever. Yet people kept asking me about Brexit? Why, when it was unrelated to immigration in any way?

This ugly little fecker about 40ft up. Wondered why an adult pigeon bugged out at a million mph about a minute before.

Not really I see them at the usual (funerals etc) as we are the length of the country away. If my attitude to other nations is negative why would I talk to middle Eastern people, eat Indian/Italian/Chinese etc food, go on foreign holidays, I've been to over 24 different countries from Sri Lanka in the east to the Americas in the west and from the Falklands to the Kola inlet in Russia, but you think I'm negative about other nations. Not interesting, just stupidity or not understanding.

At this time of year there is plenty of food about for them . Insects are the best I nthink . So , I only partially fill just a couple of feeders and wait till all the spillings have been hoovered up before I refill . In the winter I will use them all . You are never more than 10ft away from a rat they say even if you can't see them .

We ain't that daft! Ours is in a trust, doesn't matter how dottle we get the bin lids get it.

So do you go somewhere that you know no one or don't speak the lingo? It was an example of WHY people leave their country, some really narrow views on this site!

Even the earlier ones ( The ones that would not stand up because the base was smaller than the body ) used to feck up after a while . I bought countless spouts for them . The petrol starts to dissolve the plastic and the O rings . This is what is happening inside your saw . I only use alkylate fuel now .

great,, a petrol can that melts the spout when you put petrol in it, Husqvarna forgot to mention that! well seeing as it's already fecked, I might try and dismantle the dispenser part and see if the seals can be replaced with fuel resistant o-rings.
-
Yep . I got one . Its lasted probably 6 years ? only has Alkylate fuel in it though . I think petrol , ethanol free or not rogers them as you describe . You can get replacement spouts but it will just happen again with petrol .
-
Anybody use these, I got one, cost a feckin' fortune, fecked in a month, despite paying extra for supposedly ethanol free petrol, it's fecked the auto shut off dispenser to the point you may as well throw the thing away and use a conventional cap. I expected more from Husqvarna, but I guess like seemingly everything these days made down to a price in feckin' ting-tong land, rather than to a high quality in Sweden.
