    A Stein Trolley is infinitely better than a wheel barrow for infinite reasons. Firstly the Stein doesn't fall over. It's carries a hell of a lot more. It can be pulled by a winch. It's much stronger. Etc etc etc etc.

    Agreed. If you feel awkward because he's a mate just tell him you've got PAID work from others lined up and can't help him yet. That make focus him a bit.

    😂Love it!

    The level of ignorance is astonishing! That sugary thing sounds great.
  5. Old Mill Tree Care
    And you're thinking of moving back North? WTF!! 😂😂

    Several people have made their own then admitted they should have bought the Stein straight away. Buy the proper kit and you know it will do a proper job. My stein trolley is the cheapest piece of kit I've ever bought because it is used so much. I've got two really good guys working for me and the trolley makes the job easier which them happier.

    Reckon you're right Paul but why buy both when for less money a Hitch Hiker will do the same or for three times the price, so will a Unicender. Personally I'd go with the single device. Having said that, it's wonderfully shiny and the HH isn't.

    I ordered it from Ropetek, Paul Cox is the also the guy behind the Wraptor. And he's English! Just email [email protected] and get it done. $180 inc postage. I'm hoping it will be posted tomorrow so next week I hope. I'll be putting a thread and review on here as soon as I've got two climbs on it.

    Yeah mate, it can get expensive quick but, it's shiny!!!

    Rope Wrench was mentioned above. I'm selling mine, barely used if you want it. Make me an offer and it's yours, with tether.

    Not me, not my video but I just loved the dude in PPE at 9.30! :lol::lol::lol

    You're exactly right and that's the reason a SJ or LJ is so much better as they really do self tend and there is no sit back at all. On the other hand, have you considered SRT? I've just ordered a Hitch Hiker, Woohoo! Anyone want to buy a hardly used Role Wrench?

    Are you using a cambium saver of some sort?
  14. Old Mill Tree Care
    Chris, as you've aimed the question at employees I'll keep out of it otherwise it turns into another bun fight, like the recent 'rates of pay' thread. 😂😂😂

    Go for one spliced eye. If you have a 20m I would advise a 45m, despite what you said.
  16. Old Mill Tree Care
    $160 plus $20 postage. Awesome.

    There are no disadvantages to a Spiderjack, except you can't attach it mid line. If that worried you then get a Lockjack. Great climbing aids.

    Frankly, if people want to jump on the band wagon and have accidents, I couldn't care less. What I do care about is all the idiots jumping on the band wagon and depriving all the Pro firms of work. It's bad enough already in a saturated market, further stressed by all the cowboys and gypos. The '87 & '89 hurricanes got all the morons out with chainsaws, this won't be a great deal different, although on a smaller scale.

    What do you mean it's your last travelling adventure? Have you found a permanent job?
  20. Old Mill Tree Care
    Never mind seeing the rest of the gear. I'm assuming it should all be chucked in the skip and the user gets put on the naughty step.
  21. Old Mill Tree Care
    I don't know but it might be worth calling your nearest Stumpbusters franchise and asking what size machines he has.
  22. Old Mill Tree Care
    Am i looking at that correctly? Has the thin area been worn away by the Grillon? If so, can we see that part of the Grillon? If that is correct, the climber was INSANE to keep climbing on that. I'm sorry but that is just grossly incompetent and I wouldn't have someone like that in my company. Thanks for posting this though as these 'alerts' are always good thing. 👍
  23. Old Mill Tree Care
    Now. Mine is on its way. Just email Ropetek to order.
  24. Old Mill Tree Care
    I dunno about the lever. I'm just squeezing the Cinch to get it to release.
  25. Old Mill Tree Care
    Cool Adam. I would do something to stiffen the top of the tether as that will stop the RW flopping down so much. Also, I used to use a length of eye2eye but changed to tieing my own knots because I can make the hitch shorter and get less sit back.
