You sold me on that.... I was using someone else's on the weekend and the piezo has jossed it so I was having my doubts anyway

Jetboil users Ok so I am going to buy a Jet Boil and I think my choice is the Sol model but if I save the thirty quid and go for the Zip model will I regret it and why? The only difference I can see is for the thirty quid I get a piezo ingnition:confused1:

I hear you loud and clear on that point:laugh1:

Mind how you go with the debit card, my UK bank charged a transaction fee so keep it to decent sized cash withdrawals to minimise the fees. -
If you cant find one you can make one out of a couple of bits of 25mm angle and a couple of bolts and wingnuts

I think we should leave the clipping in and "tool" attachment just there :laugh1:

Ha ha, thanks, the reminder to self about Isla Negra and arbtalk was probably due to wear off sometime soon.
-
I don't see how there can be any argument The item was failed under loler because it isn't a 3 action gate but the entire 3 action gate thing has nothing to do with loler. That's indisputable fact, where does perception come into that?
-
Why would that be then, explain if you would why pollyprop cant be included in a loler inspection
-
Why cant I state that someone is wrong? Its fact and I backed it with a detailed explanation Who is it that you think is more qualified and what would that matter since they are clearly wrong, how are they more qualified given that they clearly don't understand the limitations of loler?
-
Why wouldn't they pass it, what have you got against pollyprop? Pollyprop is a perfectly valid tool when used within its limitations. how do you think we managed in the days before modern high specification ropes?
-
You don't have to be qualified to make that statement, all I have done is cite facts that you can check for yourself. I have explained it for you in a simple a way as I can. If you doubt the validity of what I said get to work with google and check it for yourself. As for qualification I am a loler inspector and am fully aware of the function and limitations of the loler legislation.

There is a bit of an issue connecting a saw to the side D rings, they are a structural part of the harness and if your saw pinches in the cut you could find yourself with a substantial lump of wood hanging off your harness, tope and anchor point. The tool attachment points are designed to give up before the rest of the system without compromising the harness It wont be as much of an issue with a top handled saw as they have a break away built in, or if you use a lanyard with a built in break away but the danger increases with larger saws which don't have a built in breakaway.

You are mixing terminology here, its all PPE. To get back to the point of this thread, the assessor can pass or fail whatever he wants but in this case there is no justification to fail the item under the loler regulations. My MOT tester cant fail my car because it can break the speed limit I would have no problem using that item and I would be looking for a different inspector.

You can send a carrier if you want
-
Correct Well he needs to know what its for in as far as they should have sufficient technical knowledge to assess the equipment, if you gave a pulleysaver to a non arb he probably wouldn't know up from down Yes provided its not for a primary anchor

This is a lump of timber that I came across on a job As you can see from the shape it deserves to be much more than firewood, even though it is Ash So wood carvers, get your hands in your pockets and make a donation of 25 quid to the children's trust and collect it from Oldham OL3

I am going to repeat what someone else said because its the simplest fix Take the exhaust off

I don't get the life support thing, the side "D"'s are for life support but not rated for a fall, you can happily use a WP strop on the sides for a changeover.

The "law" is the petroleum regulations, but it maters not, they are retailers and if they say they will only sell fuel in certain cans that's their prerogative.
