  1. Quick site pic- yes I bleed blue!!
  2. Waitley all the way.
  3. This has been my experience. None of them ever have a written spec.
  4. Poor bugger. Life seems so unfair sometimes.
  5. Standard parish councils I’m afraid. Tender ‘processes’ are a joke considering it’s taxpayers money.
  6. Probably 50% of companies burn this sort of thing at their yard or pay a farmer. It's certainly not a level playing field.
  7. The USA is also the land of strange folk who will wear a big heavy steel helmet and no eye protection whatsoever when felling a tree.
  8. What’s the reason for sale? They didn’t run it long with the tilty by the sound of it.
  9. Wolf are bombproof. Used a 3.5hp one in a pretty industrial capacity for nigh on ten years and only needed a capacitor.
  10. Having just tried the decomp on my 241 for the first time ever, I think a ten year old could start it! First pull too! Bloody brilliant little saw, especially running 3/8picco. Full chisel too if conditions aren't too shitty.
  11. 4.2t
  12. All non autotune saws are the same surely. Pull it on choke till it barks, half choke, it catches, let it run for a few seconds then blip the throttle and rev it up briefly.
  13. As above, but buy ‘waitley’ brand Chinese batteries on eBay. I run the 9ahs in our grinders particularly, and 6ah for other tools. Good value and last well.
  14. Plenty of spares till you get used to it! The standoff guides are useful but I think the kit comes with one. Consumables are much cheaper from China on eBay. You can get extended nozzles which are handy for tight spaces. I also use conical extended nozzles drilled out to 2mm for plasma gouging but thats probably asking too much of a 30 amp set.
  15. Jesus that’s a wet spot for sure!
  16. I don’t mind if she wears her boots to bed. The thigh high type.
  17. Good choice. My mig250 has been faultless and the cut 50 good too. Did 12mm stainless no bother last week. what models did you go for?
  18. The full quote (with the same answer) is that you need good boots, good bed and a good woman...
  19. You just can’t beat an fs460 for reliability in my experience. We thrash them and very few issues.
  20. I had 49.5mph down a massive hill as a lad on a mountain bike. You need to up your game ? Get down flat over the handlebars.
  21. I’d go with an oil burner, and auto correct ?
  22. Do they still make an airsporter or mercury? Either way they wouldn’t be by first choice for a pest control gun.
  23. Normally I’d agree, but a 3000w grinder shouldn’t struggle with an 800w drill. Start up surge on a drill under no load isn’t much compared to something like a compressor which is under load from the off.
  24. Trousers all the way. I’d have given you a pair of chaps but I threw all mine away last year. They’re bloody useless.
  25. I would think a bottle of scotch would suffice as seasonal company hospitality, but if it gets results..
