Pasted from the link.... A maintenance fitter died from hydraulic injection injury sustained whilst tensioning the track of a piling rig. The grease nipple became detached from the track mechanism permitting the release of grease under high pressure. This alert reminds the target audience of the potential for such injury when working on any hydraulic machinery.

Used the harkie and found it tough but sweaty.

Needs to be hi viz really.

What are the cuffs like? In pics it lools like poppers.

Stein krieger work smock or stihl dynamic jacket? I am after something not too hot, breathability and durability being more important than waterproofness. Anyone used either of these jackets?

I must work too hard. Or not enough bacon butties

Sounds good so far. What is the sizing like? I take xs in hi flex and stretch air. Waist less than 30 inch.

has anyone tried these trousers? SIP Progress Chainsaw Trousers C | Clark Forest : Chainsaw Protection how do they compare with say stretch air. mine are looking a a bit ropy now and the zip and crotch have ripped.

i like the look of the extra protection of the rubber coating on these two. the rand on my meindels is very ragged and was starting to peel after little use.

thinking about husky technical 24, although they look a little tall, my old haix trekker mountains were a nice height, (although the meindl whatevers i have atthe mo are a bit taller and they are fine) also what is the sole unit like for wear? other option would be stein quest

eek! what do do that for? no need and risk of ruining the boot. leather should be left to dry naturally (stuff boot with newspaper replacing if it soaks) if you apply the wax in a warm room and work it with your fingers it will penetrate the leather no probs.

not quite splicing but looking at point 20, does that mean you should't cut the end off your rope if it gets damaged? especially if is the end with the ce mark on it.

your post does not tally very well with your line about luck.

black diamond make one they call it a rotor, same size as a swivel L but cheaper

But that is for rock climbing, where all kit has to be ce marked but there are no legal requirements for climbers to abide by any rules concerning strength ratings or indeed condition of kit. 22kn is fine.
-
As a rock climber i can give you a reason for the 24kn min. In rock climbing we climb above the gear so if we fall we have the potential to generate quite high forces. The maximum force a climber can theoretically generate is 12kn, that would be falling say 20m on 10 of rope, called a factor 2 fall. When the load comes onto the karabiner the pulley effect means that an equal force is applied down both sides ( minus the friction) so the karabiner could in theory be subject to a 24kn force.

I use a helical hitch with a pulley. never used a prussic without a pulley, don't see why you would want to. With a pulley you can use one hand to take in slack. One thought though, most prussic pulleys and redircet pulleys are for 12mm rope but the majority of climbing ropes are 1/2 inch(12.5mm) or 13mm.
