  1. Please explain why metal on metal is bad
  2. Sorry, no idea- I have not compared them to anything else
  3. Best for me - such an individual thing. They might be the worst fit for you
  4. Used anything from chain oil, veg oil to expensive products. As long as you do something they will be fine. Got to clean out the welts & brush them off on a regular basis
  5. Not as heavy as you think. Great boots - I have worn them for years. I usually get 2 to 3 years out of a pair
  6. Skyhigh-arb, why do you not invite Redwood/forst to this discussion? If you are prepared to air your grievances publicly then they should be allowed to reply. I do not mean to degrade your grievance as I would be less reserved than yourself.
  7. I run the clarkes on larger bars - never had a problem with it
  8. What this man says & it's approx £1 a litre
  9. Tall trees & some tidy cutting there
  10. Signage is invisible to some people & instructions are to be ignored. This is the price that is payed for there actions
  11. Rest of us flip out over a tuppence !!
  12. But your from Leeds - that's as posh as it gets in Yorkshire - people have to loose a full 5p before sweating & blind panic starts
  13. I stand corrected
  14. I thought they were for cutting scrub - nowhere near long enough for cross cutting by the looks of it
  15. Some cracking tree work right there
  16. Was it a LANTRA approved course/training centre? If so, then they will be the first people to contact
  17. I'd feel dirty & sullied buying one - like buying a copy of the daily mail
  18. What is wrong with supplying proof of competence I.e. Tickets before purchase? Oh & eddy-t, that is the most ill considered & nieve post I have read for a while. The basic ergonomics & handling properties of a climbing saw make both the chance of kickback with incorrect technique high, but also the compact nature means that when it does occur it is difficult to control.
  19. A friend in guisborough has been targeted over the weekend too. Pulled there hoods up, covered there faces & went to work, ignoring the cameras. Things were well locked down so they only got a couple of blowers, but we know they will be back!!!
  20. From a walk on the estate the other week And a couple
  21. Crew here. I find zips annoying - especially when used to trap beards & or chest hair
  22. Nice video. Why was the stem felled on spikes? I'd not want to risk the stem not. Breaking off the hinge early enough & coming back at me when the tip hits the floor
  23. There is some debate with AV gloves. The fact that they are inherently thick & reduce your sense of feel can cause the operator to grip much harder. As a result the vibration levels transferred to the hands can be increased as opposed to normal grip with normal gloves
  24. It may be something other than white finger as your exposure is not that long within the industry. Perhaps reynauds syndrome or even carpel tunnel. I would stop guessing & have some medical tests done asap to nail down the issue
