I use two or three pair at the same time, and buy one or two new pair a year.... (Though I've just set fire to my newest pair when tiring to dry them)

Gransfors small forest axe. Opinel number 7/8 Golf ball for a file handle (try one, you won't believe how nice it is!)

A mobile phone? Last call received on Sunday, a bit after 7 am?

They're not smaller really. They're like lined welders' but better. Dexterity is not much better though.

Welding gloves are shite! Compared to these http://www.safetyhut.co.uk/product.aspx?productid=207

Anyone travelling from Aberdeen to Somerset empty?

Just make sure their insurance will cover the item. I sent a cooker to the lakes somewhere, well wrapped up, steel-strapped to a pallet. When they unwrapped it at the other end, it was scraped and dented beyond belief, they'd dropped it more than once! Contacted the couriers, who then blatantly told mr this could have never happened as "they don't carry cookers, it's against company policy" -
Clean it!

Nice pic, is it a lot warmer in Brabant today? My mum just came over from NL and could not believe how much warmer it was today.

Ripeur 2! You may not think they're cheap when you find they'll cost you £25 or thereabouts but they're better than anything else you've ever tried for thorn, bar chain mail. The best leather, then an inner with Dyneema (stab-vest material) and stainless steel threads! Trust me, I'm a hedge layer!

Stainless decking screws. They'd not do that much damage going in and then they'll just stay. If you can use them with washers and a spring like the tree-tags, they'll leave room for growth. Straps will need re-adjusting, and perhaps resetting every so often. I reckon they'll end up being worse.

I found them really easy to use. Put them at about 45 degrees, so no tension was lost when taking off the clamp (I use a scissor jack with a battery drill on it). I think there may have been a slight advantage using pine over oak as even when the head was slightly proud or the tongue split a little, the next board could still be pressed on tight as there's probably a bit more give in pine? But then I reckon oak should be less prone to splitting so it should work just as well. I'd definitely recommended them, easy and quick (and I don't have a nail gun)

I've used them with great results, "secret screwing" reclaimed pine boards. These were very prone to splitting but all went perfect with these. And they're removable if needed Got mine from screwfix, none of my local builders/fixing specialist had half a clue what I was on about.

I'll be going from sleaford (lincs) down the a1 to bedford (beds) next Monday morning, 1,5 spare seats.

Apptalk ?
-
But is it classed as a sub 3.5t vehicle itself or over?
-
This should not be needed for li-ion. This is why I asked "like it" which batteries his experience were about.
-
Did you have this experience with li-ion or nimh batteries?
-
Most imported American pickups have rather disappointing towing allowances actually... Went to look at a dodge once with a 6.3l turbo diesel, rated to tow 2200kg or so?
-
The OP asked for vehicles available new now. I thought the patrol was not for sale in Britain at the moment?
-
But will there be axe-throwing?
-
Not available new at this time...?
-
Which are not legal to tow 3,5t? Just had a quick look at the official specs just now, X5 Cayenne Tuareg RR (sport) Disco ML All legally tow 3500kg Some landcruisers do as well?
-
You must be. In the video, he's cutting four or five bits at once?
-
Some (not all!) landcruisers, Tuaregs, cayennes and x5's LR Disco Defender RR Merc ML Jeep grand Cherokee Ssanyoung Rexton (though maybe not the latest ones?) That's most of them, if not all.
