  16. i know the scrap metal trade well i have a friend who owned a scrap yard ans still have other scarp yards befor government brought out new legislation 85% of his trade would be cash in hand and about 70% be gypsies all that was require was a name and a reg of any motor and if you had two ton of copper on a transit at £3900 a ton he would just say name reg his your cash sir could of even been a fake name and reg on your way now he have to take a pic of driver next to motor showing reg a utility bill photo id from that person and then pay by cheuqe or direct into bank account his trade is down about 55% since the new legislation
  17. its all happen to much now i blame the government since they stopped the cash in the scarp metal game gypo's are looking for quick cash saws and stuff they can sell quick or there going into the tree game/ landscaping as you can get cash of customers why buy tools steal them much more profit thanks you gov i would rather them steal my scarp metal than my tools

  20. one thing most off your guys are forgetting here one is the major price difference you can get these Chinese saws for cheap my friend got a mcdillen 52cc of ebay with a 18inch bar and chain and a 22inch bar and chain for 75 pounds he asked me to fell a tree for him while i was there i didn't have a saw with me he brought this saw out and brand new in its box put it together with the 22 bar and chain which i know is to big for a 52 cc saw but the tree to be felled was 36 inch across got the saw started up got the tree over in about 15 minutes then cut it up into 8 inch slivers was at it for 7 hours used about 14 tanks of fuel i told him that the saw earned its keep by just getting the tree over and done a grand job all day yes there are a bit flimsy and not as strong as a husky stihl or echo but you got to look these brand cost around £450 so you cant moan that the Chinese saw is not as well built when you 6 chinese saws to a good brand so there is going to be a big difference in build quality just think about if the chinese made a saw costing 250 pound for a 52 cc saw what it would be like
