  1. I got mine from a company on Instagram rescued from landfill, they are pukka being £35 carries my rope aswell as my harness and other bits. Not immune from groundy chipping on to it
  2. Any updates on this? How consistent is the rr on wet rope?
  3. No bungee on mine just straps to my my leg works well
  4. i just dont get the toilet paper buying, whats wrong with the chips in the truck?
  5. My reference was for rattle guns, which i wouldnt be without
  6. but a receiver allow for continuous flow at pressure for longer, yours relies soley on your pump keeping up unless its a really high cfm and pressure it wont keep up
  7. problem with that is lack of immediate flow
  8. I would get an actual compressor as you soon realise an impact wrench is super useful
  9. well i managaed to get two lewmar 42's for £80 the pair, had two mounts laser cut for £50 each then welded them up only use them for lifting no negative rigging feels cruel i use two 5 ton ratchet straps to allow for redundancy.
  10. Im interested vut its dear.
  11. like the look of the coveralls im a fan of coveralls in the rain, think ill invest just before winter
  12. Pretty much what i was doing, need to restock having had some time away from cutting. Not sure why, man ive missed it.
  13. Thats why i stopped with them, are the teeth still bloody hard and kill files? Im going over to archer chains on the reel
  14. Its not out priced if you arnt making money. Its business
  15. What are your expenses, how long will it take you to do. No one can give a price as we all have different needs financially

    Just me?

    Olive oil works, dont need more than a pinch Or proper bar of soap
  17. I do not miss having a hand pump trailer, getting an electric pump all those years ago felt like we had entered the 21st century.
  18. Anything safety related or rubber go oem, most other parts seem to last
  19. Ive not owned either, but years ago i spliced my own pulley saver it was brilliant far easier climbing. Good friend had the ART and that was also a beautiful product, seemed to retrieve easier But i climb everything srt now
  20. I used a sob foot ascender (chinese ascender) as it was cheap, meant if it didnt work no real loss. But it did work really well and no need for elastic Went for a brummel splice and buried the tail to make a whoopie.
  21. I recently bought an Oregon curved blade, its one of the best saws I've used
  22. It will make for an interesting experiment, worse case i will fill them with weld return them and get them anodised, the cost of say. 6 big rings is at a price where i could be on to a winner. As i will grind form tooling i should be able to rattle them of pretty quick.
  23. Instead nylon slings ive always bought 100m of double braid rope and made up 28" loops make having 20x slings very affordable for speed lines i use marine screw gate carabineers again 20 only costs about £40 Couple lf isc swing pulleys as redirects A big snatch block Bollard. Ratchet straps are brilliant for bollard attachment. Im about to add a capstan winch into my kit really like the idea of being able to lift tips I would also like some rings, im thinking though i will make a load on the lathe, kills three birds one stone. I end up with as many rings as I can get from my ali off cuts I get to play with my hobby And i save a huge chunk of cash. I have a few bits to get having had a break on full time tree cutting i sold some bits, now kicking myself. Never sell anything.
  24. We took one down in hedingham just last week, as the others have said they fail quickly.
  25. Hes working for you, its your insurance to be claimed on. Also if he is good it may better for you long term just to suffer it
