  1. What I do ty… take a drill and make a hole. Then take a larger drill bit say 9mm and enlarge. And you have a bigger outlet in the area that does not have plastic. Don’t force it as it’s easy to drill out the other side of the exhaust! It will liven the saw up a lot and make your exhaust guards last a bit longer.. don’t look at mine though as I’ve still smashed it to bits dropping it off those long recoil lanyards and had to order a new one this morning off Skylands… still it’s lasted me over 12 months at least instead of melting.
  2. Amarok , I would buy another when mine finally dies… which seems a hard to do fete.. feels far more refined than most 4x4 pick ups on long journeys and with the kids in the back.

    020T av mounts?

    It would certainly explain the shocking state of my hands after using the piles of shit for years , 90’s saw with 70’s AV’s

    020T av mounts?

    That’s the point I was trying to make , surely the 020 AV doesn’t have the same mounts as the 200t 020

    020T av mounts?

    What 020 do you have , the original aluminium 020 or the ms200/020 that replaced it? That parts diagram is for the original aluminium saw.
  6. Once you’re used to them you won’t go back, another plus is it’s easy to drop the trailer off without lifting off a huge valve block for the levers.

  8. Dunno I’m a snob and only use English braids Joe for my rigging 🫣
  9. Another reason to take double braid over 16 strand?
  10. Yep looks like an old Yale climbing line
  11. School trust fined after member of public hit by falling tree branch – HSE Media Centre PRESS.HSE.GOV.UK When your retarded enough to use an old climbing line or something not rated for the job… can’t believe he only got a suspended sentence considering the amount of time and money the rest of us have to spend on gear , training, insurance , loler and all the other endless crap to get on these sites… and he had f all !!
  12. I think of every 30 climbers who enter this industry maybe 2 will still be in it in 10 years time..would be hard to get the experienced climbers to teach the level 1’s anything as there is rarely the time on site.
  13. Any advice given and you will go and do the exact opposite … so I’m out.

    Spikes

    Agree , I’ve never sharpened a set of spikes in my life… I’ve had people sharpen mine for me … with out asking I’ll add and I wasn’t best pleased!

    Spikes

    Will be interesting to see if they are not total dog shit… personally I would not look past carbon distils with bottom strap and Velcro uppers after owning kliens , bashlins, Buckinghams and some awful honey bros early 90’s own brand things..
