What's on your bench today?

gaping spark plugs twist it to the right measurement champion do one if anyone wants a new one!

 

Wide spark plug gaps, centre of gauge 0.058" almost, common size.

 

still think it is for bars.

Yip plug gap tool its mine i thrown away years ago there poo to use

[spudulike]

It is indeed a spark plug gauge, the edge has a variable thickness so you push the plug in to it and slide it around to where it stops and then open the gap or knock it close depending if it is too large or small.

 

It also has a gap opener which again works:thumbup:

Can someone kick me if I ever mention doing someone a favour and selling a homeowner saw for a friend:001_rolleyes:

 

Took a saw from a guy at work who asked me to sell it, fixed the carb and oiler issue it had:001_rolleyes: did a CD with the IPL, operating instructions, PDF on how to sharpen a chain and general saw use for the new owner.

 

Told him how to start and run it etc.

 

Had a call tonight, it took him half an hour to cut a bit of wood:confused1: and it is overheating:wtf:

 

He wants his money back and now I am stuck right in the middle of a sale I made squat out of - I reckon the guy has fooked the chain on the first cut and that is why it isn't cutting and......it is my fault:001_rolleyes:

 

I think I will stick to the pro kit where customers respect your knowledge and work rather than the general public who think you are a con merchant - not a happy bunny tonight Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Yup, think that is about right - just waiting to see what state it comes back to me in, think I may just sharpen the chain and check it out in front of him before I give his cash back:lol:

[GardenKit]

I often get customers who ask if i can sell ther unwanted kit "on a commision basis".

 

I always refuse.

 

I will sometimes buy it myself to sell on, but its got to be cheap enough or its not worth the hastle.

 

I dont know what to suggest in your case though Steve, difficult. Just don't do it again!

It is like when a neighbour says " can I borrow a chainsaw?", noooooooo.

 

Saying that one of my neighbours bought a B&Q saw to remove some trees in his back garden,left the Leylandii and took out the yew. I did pop my head over his fence after he had been revving its nuts off it for 5 hours, and offered to sharpen his chain for him.
