hi guys, im looking to buy a hedge cutter, the single sided type. i have husqvarna, stihl and echo dealers near me. im not a big fan of stihl tbh, does anybody rate the echo or husky? it doesn’t have to be the toughest cutter in the world, im not planning on drop it or let any muppets use it thanks pete

i know what your saying rupe but customers are always going to go for the company with insurence. its good for advertising and your reputaion. pete

mental? i lost a nice takedown job because i wasn't insured and the only posable thing i could have broken was a fence:thumbdown: pete
-

-
the 020 is also rubbish:001_tongue: i meen how long does it take to get around that? pete
-
imo huskys cut so much nicer and seem more nimble but you do need to look after them. the only exeption is the ms200t, the 338xpt isnt a bad saw, the stihl is just really good. pete
-
very good saw imo, way better than the ms260 pete

coleman 442 stove:001_cool: runs on petrol and white gas (glorified petrol) has a built in tank and is pretty compact with fold out legs. really quick but can be turned down low so you can simmer or fry without burning everything. tbh there is no point of getting a multifuel stove unless your going to other countrys where fuel may me an issue. i think they cost around £50 new but i got mine off ebay seccond hand for £15:D pete

just found this at honey brothers Yale XTC-12 Climbing Rope just wondering if anybody has used it? good for someone on a budget? thanks pete
-
hopefully i will be driving soon so am starting to think about what cars to look out for. i dont reely care what it is exept it has to be cheep to run, reliable and not too expensive (im thinking no more than £800 seccond hand) also diesel or petrol?? any advice would be great:) pete

-
im doing mine soon too:) i was told to get the highest anchor point possable when doing branch walks pete
-
the strap on mine is made of thin webbing (much thinner than ropes) with a rope cover. the cover would stop a silky but there is gaps at the edges. also the cover isnt fixed and the ring keeps on catching the sides and pulls the cover back. pete
-
hi guys. just want your opinion on these harnesses. i usualy climb in a komet dragonfly which i like exept for the sliding strap. its so thin! and i just cant seem to trust it:( i can see myself catching my silky on it and falling. also it sometimes digs into my hips. im thinking of trying a weaver because it looks so well made. aparently people seem to either love them, some hate them. what do you think of them? thanks pete
-
or if your a realy poor student like me you can use a bow saw:blushing: pete
-
hi guys, where can i get a large ring to fit my komet dragonfly? i can only find the small ones. cheres pete
-
i just use a normal prusik atm (still lerning), im getting a komet dragonfly so im probably going to get a captive eye carabiner for my main line and prusik. now i just need something for a short strop. thanks pete
-
