Triggers broom comes to mind Mr Flock.

Well, no, the MX20 engined lawnmowers were operated by a pair of brothers who cycled to work, and were particularily  particular about these 2 (Victa I think it was) lawnmowers, all they got was blades, and while the engines were untouched, the hard plastic treaded wheels were worn absolutly smooth.

cheers

mth

"particularily particular", like when digging the graves they wore wellingtons, but when they returned topside, the wellie boots were taken off and a clean pair of boots put on to walk across "their" grass or the bitmac paths.

Had two caretakers at my secondary school like that. Had a 2’ square tray with two stiff brush heads upside down in the bottom with a few inches of water for cleaning their boots before walking across paths after planting flower beds in spring.

Had a caretaker at my junior school that liked little boys .  Well dodgy .

As Spud said, wholly depends on maintenance. I have one of the first batch of 560's, now over 8 years old, which has seen loads of use and runs great. I know people who say they've died after a few months and they're sh**e, but I'd suggest perhaps that they don't know how to look after tools very well...

When my customers hear me say "I would bin your regular maintenance guy as he doesn't seem to be doing too much".

 

What I am actually saying is "My oh my, this saw is  *  years old and it looks like it has never been cleaned, this is going to be fun:scared1::cursing:

 

What I am thinking is "I am semi retired and can do without this guy sending in worn out, abused, shitty, crap covered pieces of turd and how can I tell him this politely"!!!!!!
