    no worries , i only found out by asking the tec department at stihl because i was just as fed up with the chain breaks as you , do you clip your saw strop to the chain break when your not using the saw or to carry it ?? the tec's also told me that this was one of the fastest ways to weeken the chain break handle

    the 020t will fit strait onto the ms200 , most of the reason that the chain break handle is different on the ms200t is due to the complaints that on the old 020t the side casing buckled . so the side casing was re developed along with the chainbreak handle - as always they took the good bits off and replaced them with what can only be classed as crap !!! as for your other question regarding weather or not your chain break handle in its current condition its sadly not . this is because the handle is designed and intended to be secured at both ends and this is how when put through the euro testing it passed its liscencing for it to go on sale . its a bit like having a chain catcher thats bent or already been dammaged by a chain comming off it must be repalced before further use .

    if i was a bit nearer i would offer mate .

    the problem is that son you will snap the chain break band because the chain break is not supported on both sides thus meaning the chain break handle twists and therefor twists the mechinism . well thats what happened to me

    to be honest i quite enjoy quoting against the guys that wanna quote really cheply or buy work , the way i see it is if they know that someone elts is quoting against them it will keep them quoting at their ultra low prices , im not having to work that cheply im mearly keeping the others working for next to nothing/free -so who is the fool ? they could quote sensibly and win a proportion of the work .

    I have been quoting on some work recently and found i was not winning much of the work so i thought i would see just how cheply my compettitors were working - i was amazed at just how cheply some will work or im some cases will buy work , but hey good luck to them i would much rather not have a name for being "cheap" lmao

    interesting that you say that about the importers ! i had spoken to them about a week ago and they told me that in the last year they have had less than twenty pairs of boots returned !!! i will see what response i get from them but i dont hold much hope . the next pair of boots will certainly be the stretch air boots for sure

    this may sound daft but recently we took down a large ash in which we had a small drop zone , as we were using a 28 meter lift platform from the neighbouring car park we set down a load of tyres and dropped some quite large lumps down onto them causing no dammage to the tarmac at all , you can also use tyres against walls to ensure that no dammage is caused by accident .

    hello Justin , have you any news on the new skylotec yet ??

  11. combined tree services
    i totally agree but the soles should not be comming appart from the upper section of the boot , this is not only happening in one area of the sole but comming appart from both sides , the front and back of the boot .

    out of the last 4 pairs i have bought i have had to send 3 pairs back now , only two pairs were worn by me , the other pair were for a member of staff . As for you tommer i guess you must have had a decent pair
  13. combined tree services
    hiya chaps , roughly 6 months ago i bought a pair of Haix Protector Extreme's and guess what ???? the soles have started to fall off , the bonded rubber tha joins the upper leather to the sole is splitting and from day one the log walking spikes in the soles of the boots would not come out . so i speak to WorkWear and i get asked to send them an email with all the info about the boots with pics and they MAY be able to do something about the problems . Are any of you guys having the same problem with these boots and ave any of you guys lost faith in these boots ? unless i recieve a new pair i do not think i will be having another haix product again :thumbdown:
