Is the Makita right angle still the daddy? It pissed all over the Milwaukee one in a youtube video a while ago.

You clever old thing.

Can you get drive keys for sailing winches that fit small drills? I haven't got the tin for a big right-angled one atm but want to get gunning. Bought this one but I suspect the hex is too large for gay little drills. 11mm or 7/16" by my eye.

Soapy suds care of a facebook firewood wombler. I said free and two out of about twenty brought beers. Southampton. Noticed anecdotally greater (but not statistically significant) generosity in Birmingham. Never tried it further north. Anyone keeping tabs? Pun intended.

Was that the £5000 one with the big bucket?

What's wrong with that? The alternative is lorries running round collecting it. Steel, rubber, lead and acid, brake pads etc. And the people who drive the lorries have to drive to work. Same for the people who make the lorries etc. They could all stay at home and write poems instead.

Install two to make a point.

aspenbob should weigh in here. Arb endgame? Industrial oil dermatitis and outwardly-silent, inwardly-screaming despair.

And once you've heard that, try the third album, Third. Worst nosedive since the fall of Rome.

As you've said a million times before and as I might have been better off believing one of those times. Ho hum.

Sod off, Mick.

I was like you for years, adamant I wasn't going to end up a principal contractor, racing to the bottom with every chancer etc. Aaaaaand now I'm doing it. One of those inevitabilities.

I've just shut the door on a twenty-five year friendship because he became a taxman. These people need to starve, for friendship, in trade and ideally totally.

Previous poor decisions don't need to cause future bad decisions. Ostracise people who so nakedly take advantage of people under the gun. They're the kid standing behind the bully, who hopes he'll get one of your sweets

I understand you'll be sick of the whole exercise by now but remember that dolescum in gilets are still dolescum. If you can tick the box more cheaply, do so and spend the difference on a pitchfork.

I've got all the above sorted but if anyone sees this and might fancy a (half)day at the weekend, please private message me with your mobile number and I'll have you as a backup.

Are you a robot or computer?

He who dares, Rodney. He who dares.

Take him for lunch, away from the melting pot of the workplace and have a fatherly word about it. It could be quite a formative experience for him and nobody need lose any teeth.

Because you get put in prison if you don't buy what they sell.

Are you using sheathed or unsheathed dyneema?

I can't believe what I'm reading. If you want to be doing windblow and similarly buggery stuff, you're going to be winching a large proportion of the day. You'd be mad to not apply petrol to doing so. Recommending a tirfor is like recommending a pump trolley instead of a locomotive. Cost difference is negligible. Productivity difference is VAST. Tirfors are a fiddle and you have to crank the handle like a slave. A capstan, you'll be deftly flicking the rope off the drum before the tree's down and moving on. Quick resets wherever you are in the line vs paying a tirfor cable back out. Sod that. And the thought of running steel cable around a hillside turns my stomach too. 13mm Novoleen or whatever Eder sell are the textbook rope recommendations. Snatch block installed in seconds for double power. Massive plus for the Eder is you can get off the line and hide behind a tree while engaging the remote throttle. Way safer than cranking where something might ping at you (you should be employing anti-pinging measures of course but if you can get off the line, get off the line). Get the Eder 1800. If the windblow doesn't take off, you've still got a self recovery winch for any vehicle (see their videos).
