That’s a strange one Ben. So if you need to transfer to the tree you are then climbing in a full body harness? Whatever next? A course for swapping harnesses at height?

Lyon 18mm 60cm. They are 25Kn rated. Don’t get 100mm, they will be a bit short!

👍 I got 10, and 10 new slings. Dedicated speed line kit lives in it’s own bag. Paid for itself on job one!

High Hedges - killed if cut to actional hedge height?
Mark Bolam replied to benedmonds's topic in Trees and the Law
I think you’re missing the point Rob. It’s been smashed back like that because the neighbours hate the poxy thing. -
‘and stuff’ 😂

Not like you to think about questioning authority Mr. J. -

No one cares Kev. We are all just crossing our fingers hoping the hedge dies. -
Cracking saw Jamie, as IronMike says get the xpg. Light with plenty of power. Mine has only ever worn a 15”, but 18” is great for a chogging saw.

Paul is 96 Mick.

Not muffs and visor it isn’t.

Dave, I’m not including you or others on here who are similar in the ‘DIY fuckwits’ group. You might not be pros, but you use pro PPE, you’re on this site to learn stuff, and seem to have the necessary respect for saws. I’m talking about people who I see all too often who are totally clueless. Waving their blunt Toolstation saw about with the obligatory 20” blade in their safety Levi’s and trainers, no lid, muffs or visor. I will be as rude about people like that as I want. If I said what I really think of them Steve would ban me. I’m not disrespectful to them, I have no respect. Why should I? Matty was spot on with his post. Our lives would be better without them.

Exactly Dog. I’d love to see the stats of chainsaw injuries suffered by those who have had pro training and mentoring vs. DIY fuckwits.
-
Boring and efficient. Nice one.
-
Why? Would you try and try and protect people who decide to ‘have a go’ at titting around with their own gas supply? Chainsaws are dangerous, it’s why they work so well. Dumbing them down just so some amateur fuckwit cheapskate weekend warriors don’t cut themselves isn’t very high on my priority list.
-
It’s a noble project Pete, but I don’t think it’s got legs. I have a book I can lend you called ‘Chainsaw injuries that were the chainsaws fault’. It will be cheap to post, it has no pages.

I think stick is the operative word Andrew. This customer wants the moon on one….

That’s a Gucci powered one, but yes.

I might give him a buzz mate. Macca has done plenty too, it’s the ‘guarantee’ thing that doesn’t sit well with me.

Pump truck. Avoid customers with steep gravel drives.

Better than your suggestion.
