Looks damn solid!

002AV:confused1:

 

Are we talking 020AV or 012AV:confused1:

the magnesium cased one with chainbrake.

[spudulike]

Well thats the 020AV then, bit of a pig to work on compared to the 020T/MS200T, bit heavier, good amount of torque, not used one other than to test and it cut OK but probably a bit long in the tooth to use for climbing now!

 

Saying that, got two in the workshop to do up for sale!

Ive been offered it for 20 quid. Didnt expect it to be much use to me but wondered if it was worth having...maybe just for emergencies etc. Its the first I've seen and I'm intrigued with magnesium casing...heavy but feels really tight and solid wee thing.

Considering every thing they do okay .They aren't as fast as an 020/200T ,weigh more and are a nuisance to work on .
