    More information about "A free ECHO 50V battery worth up to £264"
    Purchase an ECHO 50V electric outdoor power tool kit between April and September 2021 and you get a free additional battery worth up to £264.00. ECHO’s 50V range is an interchangeable battery system whereby one battery fits multiple power tools. So, when you are on the go and busy it is really useful to have a spare battery charged up and ready to minimise downtime. You will also make a considerable saving. For the professional user making the move from petrol powered products to battery, it makes great sense to take advantage of the offer. All you need to do is purchase an ECHO kit comprising a 50V power tool, battery and charger and the second battery comes free. That means you could choose any of these tools in the 50V 2Ah range with a battery and charger and get the free additional battery: the top handle chainsaw DCS-2500T (you need a valid top handle chainsaw licence to purchase), the rear handle chainsaw DCS-1600, power blower DPB-600, double-sided hedgetrimmer DCH-200, a trimmer DSRM-300 and multi-tool power head DPAS-300 when bought with a battery and charger. The DCS-1600 chainsaw and DPB-600 power blower kits include a second 4Ah battery with the offer. Note the offer does not apply to standalone 50V tools. The benefits of using battery-driven products have become increasingly appealing to professional users. Like-for-like they compare well in performance terms with their petrol counterparts. Plus, they operate with low noise, low vibration and low running costs with zero emissions when in use. They are easy and safer to operate with no electric plugs or leads and you get maintenance-free brushless motors for long-lasting performance. The top handle chainsaw has a cutting performance on a par with the ECHO petrol equivalent CS-2511TES and the rear handle chainsaw is comparable to a 35-40cc petrol model. The hedgetrimmer features an ergonomic front handle and 62cm double-sided blades and the power blower, trimmer and multi-tool share energy-efficient motor and variable speed controls. All ECHO 50v products come with a 5-year domestic or 2-year commercial warranty and a 2-year warranty on batteries. The offer runs from 1st April 2021 to 30th September 2021 or whilst stocks last and cannot be combined with any other deal. Find out more from your local authorised ECHO dealer. You can also visit www.echo-tools.co.uk or call 01844 278800 for more information.

    Always had back problems. Stopping climbing hasn't helped. I spend way too much sitting in front of the computer and have recently had to make an effort to rebuild my core. Its scary how much strength you can lose so quickly. Lots of planks and lots of stretching have helped but I need to keep it up. Not been having my usual sports massage due to the lockdown, but this is something that helped me more over the years than osteopath and chiropractors.

    Try one again in a few years time when you haven’t got a bum like a 10 year old

    I’m sure I can be forgiven the odd mistake! Have a nice day

    Beautiful blue skys here today. Couldn't be nicer to mark lockdown ending. Taking the Bentley convertable out for a spin.

    Take a look at the free wood chips site again. It posts direct links and instructions how to add a tip site. It couldn’t be easier if you actually take the time to read the instructions

    It was also filmed for telly. Not quite sure why it didn't make the cut in the past 2 days though 😏

    She had a nice chat with him at her boarding school when she did her Duke of Edinburgh awards. Didn't know she'd done that either 😀

    My mum dug out this picture. She never mentioned it before

    Not a humbolt. That’s an upside log you’re looking at
  13. Steve Bullman
    Yep absolutely sure. Like I said you would have to do a lot wrong, chiefly not cutting the back cut close enough to the hinge and then using something overpowered to force it down. I can't see that combination playing out in this scenario.
  14. Steve Bullman
    Some information here on what a tapered hinge is if you're not familiar. https://allabouttrees.com/wp-content/uploads/guides/climber/Felling_Accuracy.pdf

    Do it, all your friends would 😀 It does look pretty straight forward, but if you're not confident its probably worth asking someone else to do it. For the record though, the only way thats going to barber chair is if you only cut half way through from the back and then pull it with a 5ton digger. Wouldn't be wasting time with a bore cut on that tree at all. Just get your gob spot on, and your back cut right. Leylandii wood holds pretty well so leave a tapered hinge on the side away from the house which will give you a margin of error, then get yourself clear and hoik it out with a rope.

    You'd trust him not to crash it into you? 😀

    How long does it take to grind a stump out with one of those?

    If I wasn’t 100% sure you were a troll before I am now. Goodbye

    Have used both extensively. If you were new to both I’d have recommended the zigzag as it’s super easy to use whereas the spider jack has a bit of an all or nothing feel to it which takes time to master. Having used both I still prefer the zigzag though
  20. Steve Bullman
    Yes, really quickly too!

    Poor terminology on the insurance companies part

    I wish I hadn’t set mine to 18. In fact I wish id just set up an account in my name that I could give them at a time that I felt right, ie for setting up a business or a deposit on a house. My eldest turns 18 in July, I hope he doesn’t spunk the lot on a car and add ons like all his mates are doing. He says he wants to save though and I’m pushing him hard to reinvest it in an isa. I’d rather him do that and I buy him his first car

    Whats the history of the tree? Have carried out similar work to Beech trees in the past and its been due to the tips all dying back, fungi present etc etc. Was the tree in perfect health before or have you only seen the after shot?

    I’d consider buying £100 worth of low value crypto. I laughed at a guy 8 years ago for buying them. Who knows what some ultra low coins could potentially be worth in 18 years time for the sake of £100. Worth a gamble
