The most worrying part to me about this situation is the date on the paper is the 10th December!!! It has taken 3 months for this to be published, how many uses of a zig zag have occurred in the World in those 3 months? could another potential accident have been prevented if this info had been available?

Brilliant tool- I tie to the tail of my climbing line and use a prussic- or on to my lanyard - it will be cheaper and less clumbersome if you just buy the hook, not the kit so may get more use? I use mine for snapping off remote dead wood, going between 2 big stems of a big tree or throw out to the end of a long limb for a bit more stability, I did start a thread a few years ago about them, a micro pulley is useful as it means you can use your foot ascender for more turbo power!

Background to the HSE decision on two rope working
RDB logs replied to kevinjohnsonmbe's topic in Training & education
Looks like it see here ? 2.11.6.10 Rope and friction cord It must be ensured that: A) rope used for work positioning and/or rope access has a diameter of 10mm or greater; B) rope length allows for at least one of the systems in use by the operator to be capable of providing an uninterrupted descent to the ground; C) when it is new, rope with a termination has an MBS of 15kN and rope without a termination has an MBS of 22kN; D) splices in rope are only formed by the manufacturer or with their consent against a validated performance criterion and subject to independent verification. -
What ever happened to john tomac? one of the martins is in a wheel chair now ?

It says “should” touch the ground not “must” touch the ground, ??♂️
-
I’m fine on both!

Does it self lock if you fall? Or does it only lock with the leaver manually?
-
That’s not cheap! I doubt it’s very quiet either! I have made an air cannon from a ball valve and scaffold tube, pump up with a track pump and it will cope with most uk trees and is really accurate

Is there any guidance on a pole situation?
-
I think you are right ! At the moment I’m leaning towards the husq as I haven’t heard of any problems with the motors spinning in the case .
-
Thank you
-
Thank you will do?
-
Thank you, Yes i have Makita drills but what to eventually invest in the whole system with blower, pole saws, chainsaws, strimmers etc so don’t think the makita is really an option
-
Thank you, i have tried the stihl but not husq, i have heard the noise thing with husq, but their batteries are a higher amp hour so should be a bit more poke!
-
I am looking at sorting out some new hedge cutters and want to go battery, I don’t have anything yet but will probably expand to other tools as needed so have a choice to go either husq or stihl, what are the opinions as an over all system as I want to get it right from the start! thanks in advance!

Thanks

Out of interest, why would you add disposal costs to another job, if i was the customer I would be pretty cross if I were paying for someone else’s waste?
-
Thank you that’s really kind I will try and get a sample?
-
Me too -I carnt supply quick enough, people want convenenience, I wouldn’t ever buy a ready meal in a plastic tray but the supermarkets stock and sell loads! I suppose log nets are the same? I will look in to potato sacks and try and get a sample- I glad I’m not the only one - just trying to cut the use of plastic?
-
It’s a carry to the car park thing- long story ☹️
-
Even tried working out if a jute shopping bag would do but they just aren’t big enough?
-
That’s exactly why I’m struggling with an alternative - airflow- mould- cost- stackable- being able to see the product- i like the the idea of potato sacks though?
