    The magnets are in the wrong place to satisfy the H&S freaks.

    Like many on here, I have a Stihl long reach hedge trimmer. The gearbox in the head must be greased regularly which means getting the tool to undo the stupid plug bolt then press my grease gun into the hole to administer the grease. This process is extremely irritating and would be so much easier if there was a grease nipple! I have ordered several different sizes of grease nipples online and none of them fit. Has anyone had success retrofitting theirs and if so, where did you find the nipples? I don't have this problem with any of my Echo hedge trimmers because they are a far superior tool in every single way. Even when something does break, which is never, Echo are excellent at dealing with warranties. Thanks.

    I’ve found some gloves at Kidmans ‭01892 530771‬ which are excellent. I can’t remember the brand but it’s the only one they sell. Very good gel coverage.

    We carry out primarily domestic tree work. Our commercial client portfolio includes only the companies that I like to work for because the work is nice i.e: No high speed tree bashing. Most of our work is in the Reigate area and it's very rare to travel more than 20 minutes. Salary will be dictated by your abilities, not age or qualifications although relevant certification is preferred. You must have plenty of initiative, be adaptable and have the desire to do well and improve yourself. There is plenty of scope to advance within the company, if you want it. Please call me on 07834 414271 or [email protected]

    Apparently there are two mounting units available. The expensive option is the one you can get from the Arb shops. The cheaper one that is virtually the same is probably available from everywhere else.

    That looks a lot like a Bandit 7”(?) that I used to work with many years ago. Absolutely bomb proof. It had a zillion hours on the clock and the only maintenance it ever needed was to be towed past a grease gun!

    Amazingly I am still looking for a staff member, groundie/climber, doesn’t matter. I’m just amazed at the lack interest and lack of intelligence. One applicant wanted the job, so long as I picked him up and took him home to mummy because he lived one hour away! [emoji23][emoji23]

    What rope and length do people use with the Captain Hook? Thanks.

    Sena comms sets are Bluetooth 4.1 so I’m guessing that they won’t be compatible with these new Protos 4.2.
  14. Old Mill Tree Care
    Will it be compatible with other Bluetooth devices? i.e.: Sena

    So I’m still looking for that elusive hero. See my OP for details. Thanks.
  17. Old Mill Tree Care
    Does that mean you’re looking for a job? I’d be keen to hear from you if so. I don’t mind if you’re a ‘newbie’, so long as you’re keen.....

    Looks like a Quince in this photo.

    No he won’t. He’ll be putting Bob’s Blue Paint over all of it! [emoji23][emoji12]

    I don’t remember a time when there appeared to be so few people looking for work! I’ve spoken to lots of people who share the same opinion, so at least I know it’s not just me [emoji23].

    Where do you put the zip tie? I can’t see a way of fitting it but I have a different model to yours.

    That's the difference, when there is lots of background noise like roads, communication from tree to ground is easy and perfect.

    HAs anyone got the Send Tufftalk system? Can the helmet variant be fitted to a Protos helmet and can a visor be integrated? Probably not but thought I'd ask. https://www.sena.com/product/tufftalk/

    I'm now sick of the Sena wiring! 2nd set to fail this year and yes, we do look after them. Also I've had to glue one of the batteries onto the base plate as it no longer stays in the clip. I'm not slagging off the Sena product but now just want something more robust. I want something as good as the Peltor but for £3.99. All good suggestions appreciated.

    I'm still waiting for the best groundsman ever to get in touch.......... Thanks Al.
