  1. how does the spider jack compare to the lock jack bob ??? i am using the loak jack and get on with it really well but am thinking about getting the spider jack
  2. or the wrong viscositty chain oil !!!!
  3. lol well if it cheers you up at all im on standby all over christmas and new year oh joy but trebble time does make it some what better
  4. well so far with my lock jack i have not had any problems with limb walking and find that the lock jack sits just where i want it but this was only possible because i could adjust the sliding d on my harness , the only down side that i have found it that it does not work to well on wet ropes and becomes verry jurkey
  5. great stuff that has really cheered me up , and it should go a good way to getting a mog maybe
  6. im still using a lock jack , i would be really keen to hear how you get on with the spider i wouldnt mind getting one myself
  7. sounds like if it cut out whilke using it and aint started since then the ignition pack may well have gone , i have had this happen on my ms361 , what it the compression like ?
  8. ha ha well if he keeps rewarding me then he can have it ,
  9. wicked this VAT lark seems to be ok so far , i will have to really have a look into what sort of money i will be getting back , i cant help but wonder what the VAT man is going to want in return tho lol
  10. wicked , that has finaaly got me feeling in the mood for christmas at last thanks SWB:thumbup:
  11. to be honest im not mad keen on climbing at night too much but it has to be done the only down side to it is if the job is that urgent that it has to be climbed at night on a call out then its almost certainly going to be a pig of a job , one of my recent jobs was to remove 3 limbs that has plit out and were hanging in the powerlines (which had blown the fuses) and was also over one of those glass fronted sheds lol , im now really hoping that my other half has bought me the petzel head torch that i asked for so nicely lol
  12. the only times a really get like that is in really windy conditions of if i have been climbing on a night job , or better still a night job in howling wind lol
  13. i am currently in the proces of becoming ltd and now have to go VAT registered which i thought was going to be a pain in the arse BUT when speaking to my accountant he made me aware that i can actually caim the VAT back on any plant and vehicles that i have bought in the last 3 years !! needless to say it has cheered me up a little !!!
  14. go for it mate , try looking into buying it strate from the bulk coal merchants in wales by the artic load and bag it your self using your own peronalised bags that way you could put your name round by using your bags to advertise , but its only an idea of failing that why not buy the coal business from the guy thats retired ??
  15. ha ha ha ha i made myself spit my coffe out when i read what a had posted , maybe ART should re-name it the fart saver lmao
  16. hmm i think i will have to have a go on smaller rope , i have been told that it works better with the lock jack as well
  17. true , i think i will stick to my origional idea and buy another ART Friction saver !!!
  18. hmmm the cornish boys seem to be incresing in numbers since i have been away lol
  19. thanks bob . maybe i should have not been so lazy , i am currently climbing on marlow chamelion and to be honest im unsure about using smaller gauge ropes for reasons such as grip etc etc what are your thoughts ??
  20. a firewood merchant once said to me when i asked if he had ever sold coal as well replyed by saying that only the guys selling poor quality fire wood ever sold coal as it would possibly give the customer a fighting chance of burning the wood lol
  21. i have gone for the new protector pro , tbh i have up untill recently only had haix boots , but i had a pair of Eltens kicking round for a couple years so i thought i would use them and oh what a daft idea it was !! thry are totall crap and even the dew from grass soaks my feet lol , what boots are you using ??
  22. ha ha , i too am fed up with getting soaking wet feet so after nearly 4 months i have finally ordered a pair of the new Haix boots and now im getting impatiant waiting for them to turn up lmao:lol:
  23. hiya guys , not been on in ages sadly because of internet problems in the house we had moved into but all is sort of sorted now as we are staying with the outlaws as our house is smoke dammaged ( land Lords fault) but anyway just wanted to wish everyone a merry christmas and a prosperous new year !
  24. anyone got any pictures of said rope ??
  25. im pretty sure that stihl do it but not sure of a price , the onkly problem with such chain is that it will dull verry quickly leaving you with a poorly cuttin saw that you cant sharpen easily when your out on site !! whats made you look into getting one ??
