..im just starting out , i quote what i feel is fair, thou my overheads are very small unlike the larger guys --- thou i dont charge pennies but whats is the going rate for every job??? i also run a garage with my brother , we have the same probelm there , we charge fair , we get the work , we try to charge the proper rate like the big boys , and we do a better qualtiy job , customers walk away even thou we have all the right gear same in every trade win some lose some i say, laugh it of at times, if we were all paul mackena's/Derren browns we might have a chance

just got a spiderjack 2 - i looked at peoples views, bought it , read the book , looked at the pictures and went to set it up. now , what a total nightmare to put the rope (13mm newengland) thru the correct way , i thought striaght away this isnt right , looks more like a hole for smaller rope .. got it set up after ages.. device doesnt pull thru any slack when u try to accend . so my question is , if any of u guys use 13mm rope , doesnt it runn nice a freely in the spiderjack with no problems , if yes , ihave a faulty item cos i cant see anything else unless im realy stupid which im not. or do they have 2 different size changable parts for say maybe a 11mm rope and a 13mm , book says it doesnt but the germans might be lying .. many thanks in advance
