  1. They work well. You have to remove the lever & the cam to fit it I seem to remember.
  2. The failure looks like a fracture. No signs of deformation of the material below the break point. Must have been been brittle & perhaps subject to torsional stain. It will be interesting to see what petzl make of it
  3. Do you cut softwoods or hardwood timber mainly? I ask because by UK standards - i.e cutting mainly hardwoods that is alot of bar for the saw. Work runs a 395 on a 28" as standard to compare
  4. For those who wish to inspect there zig-zag, here is the Petzl instructions on how to do so. ZIGZAG-PPE-Inspection.pdf
  5. Not sure Maggie was a worthy human being either:sneaky2:
  6. I may have no respect for Maggie personally
  7. You voted a black Muslim into office, so when did disliking a fascist white woman count for anything?
  8. Advancing the timing, re-setting the metering arm & porting the muffler seem to be getting results. Delicate & precise work though
  9. Tree can't be that big if they put it all through a chipper
  10. I'm not saying go & use an item you feel is not safe, but, however, I am not fond of unsubstantiated clams, either positive or negative as hearsay can be dangerous
  11. Do you worry that the wheels are going to fall off your truck or brakes fail at the next junction? We have an unconfirmed problem without context or background. I will worry about its integrity when the facts come to light
  12. Impulse line is compromised?
  13. I dream of such things
  14. Great set of pics Reg & some exceptional teamwork. Just how treework should happen
  15. People need to get over the fact that she was hated, (& she was loved). For example, my mother is her biggest fan, yet I hate her without reserve. The modern style of government & populous control relies on the media dividing us, as cohesively, we would not allow them to get away with there selfish & egocentric goals. Politicians, post Maggie all seem to be deficient in any form of compassion.
  16. A true stand-up son. Amazing how much money can be made trading arms, legally & illegally.
  17. The bark will not. It was used to produce fire retardant materials. Timber no idea - sorry
  18. You will say she never called the ANC terrorists, supported Pinochet, financially backed Saddam or passed homophobic legislation (clause 28) next......... No point arguing though, as those who loved her will never hear a truth against her
  19. Dispelling the Thatcher myths | Red Pepper Some basics for starters
  20. Tennex does not have a high enough melting point in my opinion. However, if you want to use a hollow braid there is the better option of using ice tail Product
  21. He's just run out of whiskey again
  22. Took me 12 years before I had mine:thumbdown:
  23. Both work well. With a rope lanyard I say cinch as it can be used in a srt configuration. Wirecore - positioner or perhaps a macrograb if your working pines all the time
  24. If it was failing to bite, then you did have it set up incorrectly. It functions smoothly & grabs reliably when dialed in
