    Back op

    rather you than me that would do my head in hope it all goes well and is not as bad as it sounds Will you get bed baths?
  10. we use the beal rope wash and a washing machine used to use the rope brushes but washing machine easier but wash more for dirt and grim and doggy poo than to disinfect
  11. 630B is a tow behind not self propelled or at least ours is:001_tongue:
  12. if using a gri gri or a capstan they should both be backed up as they are not fail to safe either for when your on them and when lowering down. A prussick as well would be ideal or a kliemiest with a sling either is very simple to add and makes the system much safer
  13. oil is cheaper if you buy 2x45 gallon drums at a time
  14. not as dear as a new saw and 2 stroke on top of fuel is also dear and if you ever forget to put 2 stroke in saw is knacked for someone that uses there saw every once in a while aspen would be exellent as a lot of folk use petrol that is over 3 months sice mixed and it does brake down and does not do your saws any favours p.s i do not use aspen but have recomended it to several bods who only use approx a gallon a year and for them i think it makes sense and yes it is dear but so are saws and chains and sharpening ect

    Website input

    consistent info honeys on your rope page on some ropes it states what diameter stuff is and on others you have to click on it for further info. Which makes making a decision a little bit harder and longer Listing things like the speed line kits with no photo or content but a price is not very helpfull maybe on crabs stating which ones are not suitable for climbing ie screwgates hope that all makes sense i could keep going but thats enough for now 1 thing i will say for honeys i have emailed them about a few product info and descriptions and they have always replied and changed things where appropriate p.s imo honeys has better descriptions that anyone else and i always use it for reference special offer sections are always good
  16. clean with a suitable solvent i.e flush out with petrol or just drain the tank if necessary aspen fuel would be the best as it does not degrade and would not need flushing out
  17. as long as it is clearly stated one way or the other most sites do without vat and is a pain working it out but from a sellers point of view without vat looks cheaper
  18. one tip to try to keep correct angle is when you take the bar cover off set it under the saw at the correct angle i.e in line with the file guide and it gives you something to follow
  19. I have one on my motion and would recomend anyone to get one
  20. stretch airs are the only ones i know of that do a short or long leg. I think its 10cm either way from standard
  21. The best combination for big shots is 2 4ft poles
  22. yes...
  23. was i looking at a different video quite a few bad habits there steve but not as many as ed,s video:sneaky2: no brown nose here
  24. i am on call till 8am so hope the wind keeps away till then
