    Only 3 people have PM'd results so far - would be good to have most of them in by Sunday then gives me fewer people to chase! 17 file testing kit have been sent out - took almost 6 hours to do - as usual 1% inspiration etc etc Having the idea is always the easiest bit.

    All the file test kits have now been sent out. Please follow instructions contained therein - PM me when you have tried them. They have all had the brand removed. They will be marked as : Shiny tang - the sharp bit that pops into file handle is shiny. Shiny tip - the round part furthest from the handle is shiny. Black tip - the round part furthest from handle has been blacked out. No marking - only the brand name has been removed. Then please PM me the order you think they should come in and any general comments. Best – Pretty Good – Ok – Last –

    Maybe not quite as severe as 'ban unions' but certainly along the above lines....

    Their product prices may rise but I bet the quality of their products will also rise. That interview with Sir James Goldsmith is very interesting - nice to see someone take it back to basics and talk straight.

    Ok am sending out the file test today.... Sorry about delay - it's been manic. There'll be a note in with them - please do not try and work out which file is from which manufacturer and do not post any results on this thread yet (as it could influence others). Anyone else care to take part? Let me know before 1pm today. Instructions are at the beginning of this thread. Thanks, Rob

    When a tooth is ground so it gets very hot it does seem to get very hard indeed to the point it can strip a round file. Grinders are fast but you usually have to take the chain off to grind the chain - by the time you have it off the bar and back on again you can usually have touched up the chain by then anyway.... But they work well if the chain is damaged.

    Under payed?

    It's a pretty good thread but the above is a pretty poor post

    I agree with you on most of your comments regarding this thread Andy - but I could not disagree more with the above. When done properly tree surgery is a highly skilled profession - and certainly in the same league as plumbers, electricians and gas fitters.... absolutely no question IMO.

    Under payed?

    Rob D replied to nz paul's topic in General chat

    IMO it comes down to there's no industry standard that the public are aware of.... If there were and the public were informed they'd be a bigger lean towards using qualified people.... as it is there are too many unqualified uninsured people doing the work and this keeps prices low. When this industry can pull together under one unified clear standard that the man on the street has heard of then prices would be higher.

    Started a steady deliveries of 8 cube a week which is great in this weather! Lovely to get it all shifted early this year.
