In Desperate times...My Silky saves the day!

[silky fox]

There is one item that I had a couple of years with and miss.Used it as my main go to pruner for two years at Premier.There is now a new version and I had to have it.

After the Silky Saw it is probably my favourite cutting device.Never ran out of power with the old 300 battery but they have improved it further.

Got a super deal with bar,chain and charger and they threw in some chain oil too.Didn,t get the pig tail lanyard although I do rate them for larger saws.

A great experience for Ozzy and nice to be back up in Northumbria to catch up with the lads....

Didn't think they were open till tomorrow,bugger needed new boots as well.
Happy new year bud, good to see you finding your good place.

Thanks Mr Git..I worked out that in I probably wasted 30 years of my life in certain areas...Certainly Dumbed down during survival modes.I am making up for it now.

Boots are just as comfy as Airstreams but feel a lot sturdier.

I have had a pair of those for a good few years now Paul.  Great boots.  I must admit I don’t climb in them for pruning in the summer.  I have lighter AKU’s for those jobs.  But the Andrews must be 3 years old at least now.

I appreciate the feedback Rich.A Happy New Year to you and your Family.I will always remember the help and friendship you gave me right back at the very start of my Desperate times Journey.Our paths do seem to cross at the most random times usually on an Arb Campsite.These boots are of a great construction but I do use my Evo,s for pruning work.Super light and sticky.Mind you everything seems light these days.Guess I,m just a lot stronger.The 500i feels like a 261[emoji6][emoji963]️‍♂️

I am very happy with all of my Arbpro PPE.The quality is outstanding.On a par with Pfanner.Had almost a year climbing in these and they are my favourite by far.They were warm in Summer although they have vents.Wearing them with the braces makes cooling them down easier.

I shall keep them and take them to Meindl and see if I can get them re-soled. I have heard it is possible providing they aren't too worn. You can never have too many pairs of boots.?

Paul, there is a company in Newcastle that does it
