[Squirrel1]

Gliddons do they stock them i popped in there once before just seemed like a lawn mower shop mind you that was a really long time ago ill check it out,,

[samarb]

yeh they just put in a big display of them, havent bought one yet of them as no need but they seem to have good stock levels I think ther heading more towards arb supplies.

Ah happy days that ideal for us,

Zubat is my favourite but occasionally a Gomtaro for very fine reductions. Coupled with a sawpod they are fantastic.

 

Tried a few of the cheaper models but they fall apart, only downside to the Silky's is the price of a replacement blade. I'd be looking at buying a box of 20.

i use a gomtaro with a sawpod its great on small fruit trees etc. and with a sharp blade will still eat through 4 inch diameter branches and stuff, i prefer the straight blades to the curves ones as i like to use it for felling cuts on some stuff and it keeps a better hinge.

I don't have a problem using my Zubat to make little felling cuts yeah there not as accurate but its good enough. Have a Gomtaro but never use it now the zubat is a good compromise between fine cut and aggresiveness.

 

Keep meaning to buy my blades in bulk, anyone know if you make a good saving?

[Jonesie]

There's not much saving in buying in bulk guys, as the mark up on Silky is not great.
