    Good luck wasting your time on that mate. She'll want your opinion on everything then do it exactly her own way. God help you if you say anything that isn't entirely appropriate, especially if it's about her mum. Very well considered answers are the only smooth route but you'll still get caught out. Having said that, they are well worth it.

    No where near enough. If it was three days with three men doing it manually you'd be looking at around £2200+vat. Big machinery and speed doesn't reduce costs by a penny, it reduces time on site.

    Paul mate, nobody has their Mrs trained. I know for a fact that Mrs OMT isn't trained the way I'd like her!

    Yes, the HH is possibly a hitched version of the Uni but it's a lot less money to buy and maintain. Why buy a Uni Ian? What's wrong with your ZK2?
  5. Old Mill Tree Care
    Oh yeah. I hadn't looked at the numbers. That's funny!

    Yep. Perfect practice targets for the RAF and Artillery. Lock up their gates once they're all inside and night time then let 'em 'ave it!!

    Those look like slots for smuggling people in, if you ask me. Good job, you just need to add the sound proofing to muffle the screams!

    Interesting. Why a coil gun?

    I hope you made a note of the number plate, took a photo of their faces then battered hell out of them with a scaffold tube.

    Anyone see this. It's an American opinion poll but just a point of interest for us all. Hitch Hiker or Rope Wrench

    Good point Adam but the question was what device best suits a climber who wants to be able to climb DdRT or SRWP whilst in the tree. The HH works perfectly in both modes while the RW has to be removed from the line in order to work climb on the HC system. I realise it's not a big issue but if I regularly switched from double to single line during a job I'd want the easiest solution, HH is best suited to this.

    Strange place to ask this question. Rigging Forum.

    Why did you only fill it half way?

    So it sounds like the preference is for an air nail gun but how would I decide which one. I've just googled and prices vary from £27 to £389. Then there is the compressor and hoses to consider. The hoses are the thing that put me off the most. As I'm doing domestic work there is always the house to plug into.

    Roughly what is the shelf life of a gas canister?
  16. Old Mill Tree Care
    Maybe you guys can tell me because it's turning into a minefield for me. I've done a search but am no better informed. I want it primarily for Featheredge fencing and I don't do masses of fencing but it is increasing every month. So what are your opinions? I'd just like to know: 1. What you use. 2. Why Thanks.

    Horrible that it happened but nice to see that the gear we spend of money on really does work.
  18. Old Mill Tree Care
    What's the problem? I feel like that every day of the year now!

    Wow! What kind of helmet was it? Manufacturer may be interested in it for analysis. Now you have the great opportunity to get a Protos. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I don't understand Ian. I'm not using a wrench. I was trying to illustrate going up and down the tree then in and out on branches. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  21. Old Mill Tree Care
    It does. If you leave the RW on after switching to DdRT it will be aplying friction to the rope making the system 'stiffer' to use. HH carries on acting as normal.
  22. Old Mill Tree Care
    Hitch Hiker would suit you best if that's how you roll because it doesn't need to be detached or changed to switch from DdRT to SRWP.
  23. Old Mill Tree Care
    Oh ok. In your photo you look just like an old neighbour of mine who bought some woodland recently. Although I was looking on my iPhone. Good luck.

    Result! Hopefully the cops gave them a good beating after filling in their reports.

    Excellent machine. Looks ugly, like everything is on the outside, but that makes it easy to work on. Very good build and design. Only hassle is it's not metric bolts etc. I'd have one if I didn't have a poxy 3.5t truck. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
