  1. Honeys, Skyland and Gustharts are all excellent, and can usually deliver next day. I’ve also found Sorbus good for sourcing bits that other companies don’t stock.
  2. Fixing through the troughs is the accepted way forward on box profile. As Peter says, decent screws are important. And I’ve been there on the ridges thing!
  3. 😂 SRT without a Ropewrench is hard going though! I’ve done it a few times if the ridges are rope friendly.
  4. They won’t even swap them now, only credit them to your account.
  5. Ross White has one on his diesel WQ but I don’t know how he gets on with it yet.
  6. Looks great! Would it work with a diddy little 25l compressor do you reckon Bob? Would be handy for cleaning the crud off chipper blades before sending off for sharpening, and loads of other stuff.
  7. @Ty Korrigan has those, and the same ballistic shorts.
  8. Contact this dude. He wants to franchise a mega-arb company. Not my cup of tea, but we are living in strange times.

  9. @Johnsond and @trigger_andy, this sub thing. If they do find it right now, and send down a ROV, which attaches a cable of some description and successfully tows it, how quickly can they bring it up? Can they just go full chat, surface it, undo the bolts and the world cheers? Or do they have to decompress etc.? They have no time. A pal of a mate back home was a rig diver, and I remember him saying the worst part of the job was spending days in a diving bell after a shift.
  10. Cheers Dave, where there’s life there’s hope I suppose. The big ask will be finding them, and as Mick says, can they get there in time?
  11. Apparently the navy subs can’t go deep enough to help anyway. They’re toast. Poor bastards. Oxygen runs out at 11AM on Thursday.
  12. My mate is in the market for a pro battery hedgecutter, long reach. Most dealers down here are Stihl or Husky, and he’d like dealer back up. What is considered the best out there? I’m still a 2-stroke dinosaur, so haven’t paid any attention to battery developments. He’s prepared to pay pro prices for pro performance.
  13. I’d be more concerned by the fact that he’s obviously a drug dealer.
  14. They’re good enough stock with the Stihl bar and chain on, 1/4” pitch.
  15. The best mod is just buying a stock Echo 2511 TES.
  16. Why have I got an image of @Mick Dempsey wearing this? With some clogs.
  17. I’ve been impressed with my Bear Valley short sleeves, comfy, light, and have lasted well. These might be worth a look. I’m with you on the long sleeves, especially if it’s conny!

  18. I would say it will be massively dependent on soil type, water availability, wind, other vegetation and other factors.
  19. That will be a good strength test.
  20. He’s apologised mate, move on. I’ll have a chat with my pal this weekend and get the inside gen on how it’s really working for her and either call or PM you or put it on here?
  21. Glad you got a gaff sorted Eggs. Lass I know down here has a cottage just along from hers she Air b&b’s. Good coin apparently, but a lot of work with cleaning etc. She says single night all-female parties are by far the worst.
