Big thanks to honey brothers and a zig zag ,imori update
defenderjack posted a topic in General chat
Took the day off yesterday in need of spending some cash on some shiny bits so took the wife and kid to honey brothers and a pub lunch ! . i dont about you guys but my other half is pretty outspoken and loves a bit of banter but when we got talking about friction devices with the staff she was pretty rude ! i cant take her anywhere ! so came away with a rc 2000 yale imori and a zig zag . plenty of threads on zig zag so i wont go on but for anyone whos thinking of getting one , STOP THINKING AND BUY ONE ! used it today on this plane and sycy reduction and it was superb and the yale imori runs beutifully with it , with a bit of weight of rope beneath it , it self tends amazingly well thanks again honey brothers for top service and spending all my money
-
cheers for the reply i think i read somewhere that the imori was a bit stretchy but not sure if that was true or not ?
-
ive been pretty much given a yale imori rope and just wondered if anyone else runs on the same ? i believe the consensus that blue tongue is best but wont buy another rope unless i really have to , many thanks

yeh ive gota say ive had a few moments when ive thought what the hell am i doing but i always find once the saws on that all disapears and just get on with it , i always find that if there are certain bits of the tree that your dreading and its possible do straight away then i always get them out the way first then you can enjoy the rest of the tree otherwise your spend the entire time thinking "oh great ive still got that bit to do" get back on it

while the idea of a lighter saw is extremely appealing , i dont know if id be able to cope with having to use both hands on the saw ? i know technically you suppose to use 2 hands etc etc etc but the reality of it is that hardly ever happens on pruning jobs like that ,

cheers guys , i think about 8 are being crown raised etc but the rest are all being reduced , 2 transits of chip out of those , sooooo many cuts to make and nothing falls out the tree like you want it to . i dont find the bark to bad but the tiny dead bits that whip you in the face really pee me off lol !
