  1. Remember Kriss? He always seemed to have a little kiss-kiss pop up after every comment. -xx- Shytehawk

  3. OK. It probably depends on what saw the has then. He’s probably gone off to try and get a more succinct answer from a moble phone forum.
  4. I think the OP was referring to testing a function rather than being in ‘normal’ use. Watch the first test in the video he included, and you’ll see what he’s trying to replicate.
  5. Never really considered this for battery saws, so I just tried it on a Husqvarna battery top handle…. The inertia brake worked as in the vid, with the exception that I had to hold the saw far higher above the log to get the brake to act. It is possible you are not being ‘violent’ enough.
  6. Hopefully he didn’t stop off for a quick trip to the khazi.

    The data won’t fit the next parties rhetoric either, which will demonstrate how much of a shit bag government they are as well.
  8. It’s probably more potable than South Devon water.

    This is where I fall short. I’m great at tree work but crap at boxing.
  10. Ok, so the blades are a bit blunt, and maybe a few adjustments are required, but don’t loose sight of the real news story here, namely, the thing seems to have run a whole day without breaking down.
  11. .
  12. Possibly, I wouldn’t know either way as I have never knowingly shanked a sheep.
  13. Always done a truckers hitch with double loops. using the bottom loop to provide the 2:1 advantage.
  14. A donkey’s dick was more like this: ….and was generally used briefly by new climbers to carry a lanyard about the canopy with the dual advantages of getting caught on every fork and stub, whist being inconveniently cumbersome to uncoil when needed.
  15. I was taught that to, back in the 90s. Not very macho though. Clearly knot Nomenclature has become more sophisticated in the intervening years.
  16. I gotta Grade 2 CSE in English, I’ll have you know…. I’m not going to waste that level of knowledge if I can help it.
  17. Well, as you accused me of being the ‘grammar police’ for making one single isolated comment, I thought I had offended your sensibilities. Pretty much everything I post on this forum is flippant. It’s got me into a fair bit of grief in the past, I can assure you!
  18. ……and anyway, it was punctuation I commented on, not grammar.
  19. Now now, don’t be like that. You asked how it could have been confusing. I just thought you may appreciate someone actually giving an actual answer to one of your questions. Sorry.
  20. Telescopic with fly gib and a height / outreach of about 3m more than the one you find yourself currently using.
  21. I was a bit confused by the punctuation (or lack thereof). In the end I settled on: ”No ifs or buts. Cliff, put his name and address up.”
  22. An alternative read…
  23. They do appear to have tidied up the site very nicely before leaving though.
  24. The line looks like single phase ‘aerial bundled conductor’. The vicinity zone of it is 1m, so to put it highly simply, nothing should intrude on this clearance. To maintain that clearance most DNOs would specify cutting more to allow for the inevitable regrowth. Exactly how much more will depend on the DNO, based on their interpretation of regulations, engineering recommendations, safety rules and contracts with tree firms. It is difficult from a photo to gauge distances. Even using points of reference such as the height of the 30mpg sign against the height of the uncut canopy, the overall height of the tree, the width of the verge or the position of the footpath it’s difficult to estimate that as a 3m (or pretty much 10ft) clearance.
  25. Is the picture showing the old 1m clearance or the current 3m clearance?
