New kit! what have you bought?

[kram]

Looks like they do the top handle in red, I want!

25ap is 1/4" pitch and 80TXL is speedcut nano.

 

The top is supposed to be 1400w and the others 1600w, so its hardly worth looking at them. Perhaps in future they will do a bigger motor, dual battery 80v version.

 

Also I have seen there is a BAP001G adaptor in Japan, to have the heavy batteries on a waste or shoulder strap and much less weight on the tool. 70 quid off amazon.jp so for now I will stick with the light batteries.

A few shops are starting to list the UC029

Never seen anyone use mL to measure engine displacement before. Are you boycotting SI units?

I have a few older saws that I like to keep usable, so I thought get a few simple service parts in stock, plugs, filters, chains etc, 

I recently dug out an old stihl 041av that needed a coil, not being able to locate a genuine one, I got one from ebay,, Rocwood, didn't fit,too big and ht connection in totally wrong place. short time after bought an air filter ,same saw,same source,,, didn't fit, too big.

I sent them an email commenting most stuff from china was too small, unusual for both of these to be too big?

they said they would alter their listing to warn others, in the case of the filter they would pass the info to the supplier.

I notice they do a vast range of stuff, from it would appear the same source of every other seller, china, the only difference it seems is they charge twice as much, 

oh well once bitten, twice shy, as the old saying goes.

anyone else got anything to add about them, good or bad?

I have been using one for a while.  Its amazingly powerful and can go through 6 inch logs at a push.  Great for clearing paths or for keeping in the truck for in an emergency.  If you force the chain or pinch the bar, it can throw a chain, but you soon learn how to work with it.  Ive now taken the guard off.

As far as I remember, Millilitre is an SI unit, albeit one thousandth of a cubic metre. The Cubic Centimetre came from the previous CGS system. ( Centimetre, Gram, Second ). SI is MKS, Metre, Kilogram, Second

[AHPP]

Centimetre is derived from a primary SI unit, the metre, which I think makes it a secondary unit or something like that. Litre isn't SI.

 

Without googling, name the other six primary SI units.

 

 

[tree-fancier123]

I can't get to 6 plus metre, will try Newton, Farad, Candela, Ampere, Second

[tree-fancier123]

ah well failed again - can't believe I forgot temperature and mass

[AHPP]

Well done on candela. I can usually remember mole but not that.
