  2. ol' husky hat's never given me any probs, and i'd rather wear a tea cosy on me head than a protos ! think you'll struggle to find anything more technical in ground helmets most are just hard hats with ear defender and visor attached, I know what you mean about chin straps that's why my petzl got the boot

  16. they are multi fuel so can be ran cheap on barrels of mixed fuel from garages when people have filled up wrong they have to pay for disposal so usually up for getting a few quid for a drum rather than having to pay
  17. one place we do a bit of work in from time to time a woman used to come along with homemade cake and sausage rolls just for a wee bootfull of logs (talking a yaris here!) get tea from time to time not very regularly though, to be honest I dread 'do you want a cup of tea?' cos most of them just bugger off and come back with 4 teas all with milk in coulda cried one time cos I was gaspin!
  18. but is it? I got my 3120 for free! because the dealers took it to bits said nah no trade in for that the cylinders shot, been seized so I said to the boss well if you don't want it and he don't want it i'll take it, gave it a clean stuck it back together and its run like a dream ever since! just they couldn't be arsed with it and just wanted full whack for a new saw!
