  1. A sabre saw with rescue blade would cut the sandwich as fast as a chainsaw and much quieter The only durable material left is reinforced concrete Battery tools have done us no favours
  2. Really makes your day when you forget to turn it off
  3. I don’t disagree however if they have the nous and ability to defeat your guard systems and your dog they probably won’t be alone or worry about giving you a tap and remember they know where you live no tools are worth your life or health
  4. And that’s where insurance comes in just let them take it I’ve worked a lot with trained military guard dogs even they are not infallible and the problems really start when they misbehave on a innocent person
  5. Dog is good but steak and over counter medicine defeat them you cannot stop theft what you can do is make them make noise and take time, Gates and padlocks have been surpassed by the battery angle grinder
  6. Time and noise are what you need gravel paths lights outside activated by switches inside to stop false alarms,multiple wires to the shed to stop power cuts some looped to set alarm in house with battery backup the list is endless you have to make it the guy next doors problem cause yours is to difficult think about photocells both nc and no away from the shed to stop them scouting however most of this must not show otherwise it becomes the problem too much noticeable security causes interest think do you really need a sign written truck, I worked with a carpenter who had every festool going twice in his van the writing on the side said dog walker his van was left alone mine parked next and un written lost a lot of tools
  7. Why take a risk ? beech rots very quickly, I would fell, I’ve seen these fall over in a very light wind with less fruiting bodies showing at the base
  8. No it’s not ramming far simpler than that and no damage to vehicle
  9. There is a very very quick method of defeating roller shutter doors they are not as secure as a hinged door and only slightly better than a up and over to secure saws a van lock box with two internal locks bolted to the floor is probably as good as anything if the saw is too long cut a slot in the box
  10. Gcrs rate on winch 3000lb lift bollard 2000lbs
  11. Yes been trying to pursuade premier to try a saw chain with carbide on it, but they think it wii wear out too quick carbide lasting far longer than the chain itself
  12. One of the problems is you only get 100 MM of cut bit of a bugger if your root is 150mm diameter
  13. Hydra seed isn’t cheap and best suited to big poor access areas
  14. So why not turf the bottom of the slope near house to slow run off and seed up slope
  15. dumper

    Archery

    Let me start by saying I know nothing ,nada etc about bows and arrows, however if this was an axe would you recommend they bought best Chinese or bought a quality secondhand that should keep its value if in six months it was not used and if it was used would perform excellent,just my thought!
  16. The secret to good grass seeding is preparation, good prep means a fine compact even soil with organic matter and nutrients, if you have this then seed by hand work of a ladder. If you have access to the top of the slope get blec cultipack rope it to a vehicle and starting at bottom of slope work your way along and up shortening the rope as you go if your soil is stone and builders waste just Chuck seed over and forget same as hydro seeding but much cheaper
  17. Carbide blade will do the job no problem try not to let it get blunt turn the blade every two or three tanks and if gets really blunt strike it with a hard file to fracture the cluster
  18. Square posts will be interesting a man with a knocker and round posts could do 200 m in a day augering and backfilling be lucky to do 75 m and then how are you going to treat the posts last precious little time when treated in the round.
  19. If the line goes to a third party ie not the landowner of the plantation unlikely to have wayleave don’t worry if it gets broken they will have to replace at their cost
  20. Like the advert interesting style
  21. Till he hits a nail
  22. So you are saying my defender 12 n socket can’t tow a trailer wired with a 13 pin plug via an adapter
  23. Just wire in a reverse light to trailer and use adapter on car
  24. Any loader is better than none if it’s what you can afford then buy it, look after it if it is not right after a while trade it back against another, your back will thankyou maybe not now but defiantly in time. try and get it on a demo even if only for few hours
