  2. We all go on about chainsaw protective clothing worn for the accident you might have,Little is said about ear protection for the damage that will happen however good you are with a saw I m 53 and getting progressively more deaf the doctor says that the damage is done and I now have age realated deafness as well If only I could go back !
  3. Most trucks will tow 3.5 tonne some do it legally, Not many will stop with that weight behind most pickup sacrifice load weight for train weight. With overun brakes a recipe for disaster. Your tow truck needs to weigh a similar amount to the trailer if not more this is basic physics This leads you to Landrover 130(maybe)or iveco, transit and Toyota What others have I missed

  7. I drill a lot of timber, much far harder than oak sds drill slip and if the bit gets stuck it stays there We use 18 v Bosch brushless last drill got to 30 months old before cooking Bosch repaired under warranty For large holes use proper slo speed drills for timber metabo make a good one the stihl bt 45 great drill and works in the cold unlike batteries

  10. If your buying spares and attachments from avant you are being charged top prices I make most of my own attachments
  11. Why not get both down on demo and try them your self avant have always been priced high beat then up for a deal I don't think there is much between them apart from colour
