  1. Get a pack of 3 and replace all of them bud, is it easy, i did it a couple of months ago for the first time. I used a pair of needle nosed pilers and didnt have a problem. 5-10min job
  2. I think you'll find most lads and lasses wear a "climbing" helmet on the ground and as most wont do the chin strap up. I wouldn't worry and just enjoy your new purchase bud
  3. Stay away from natwest business loans as they wanted 50% from me!! So i just saved did extra jobs on the side etc and dont owe anyone anything. In your case borrow little and pay off asap, then its your company, gear and any profit you earn

  11. The velcro is nice around the legs, wouldn't know around the boot. But would rate them even if they are the only ones ive properly used
  12. Lol not laughing just pointing out if they where the best basic errors wouldnt have been made:001_tt2:
  13. Aye looks great, but not the best. There uniform wasnt wore the same for example their bayonet scabbards would be in the same place on every airmen, through out their arms would all be swug out to shoulder height etc etc. they still put on a great show, but ive been blowen away by the u.s drill squads when ive see them live, also the 1st battalion royal regiment of fusiliers do a fantastic drill and drum show

  16. Ok GUYS and GIRLS, I've just received the arb talk hoodie. If your still second guessing whether you should buy one or your awaiting till you get paid, Then 1. get one the quality is fantastic and as said before the inner fleece lining is a great touch. The sizing is great too. I average a medium in a t-shirt and received a medium hoodie which fits very well and toasty warm. The only problem is do i wear it for work or not?? I may have to get a second so i can wear one for each situation. 2. If your waiting for funds let Steve know that your interested and he can make sure your size is in or order it in the next batch If you've bought an arb talk t-shirt and thought that was great, this new arb talk hoodie is a must have. Save a space in the wardrobe as this is worth every penny. To conclude i guess I'm a very happy chappy haha Dan
  17. After taxs N.I fuel wear and tear on ppe saws climbing equipment insurance id be more looking at £100 if not a little more to cover those costs and to have something in the back pocket. Think you may need to sit down and work out all or cost as i feel ur working your self into the red instead of the black

  21. You can pull a 25'' chain off a stihl 440 with ease! So a larger cc saw will pull a 32'' no problem
  22. Just got a pair and they are great Meindl Airstream boots are newly designed safety boots ideally suited to the needs of people handling motor saw equipment. These boots meet the requirements established by the kwf workshop ‘Safety boots for forestry work’. Moreover these shoes have all the benefits of the well-proven MEINDL trekking shoe technology (DIGAFix lacing, AIRStream technology, MFSystem). Air Revolution? Air Revolution? provides optimum foot temperature. By this new shoe design MEINDL footwear has superseded Gore- Tex standards of breathability by 33% percent. Thus Air Revolution? shoes offer excellent protection against overheating even under heavy duty (8 or more walking hours). At the same time such shoes offer protection against cold feet since dry feet will stay warm for a longer period of time. Advantages: Orthopedically advantageous boot hight of 17,5 cm. Sufficient saw cut protection at the front with a tongue length of 23 cm. Conspicuously colored hull construction of rubber. Steel cap. 2-component-sole: Narrow rubber profile sole with good grip and distinct edges, V-shaped profile (‘clamping principle’) offers latteral slip-protection. ‘Resilient’ PU midsole (shockabsorber). Supination support, pronation support. Innovative lacing system ‘DIGAFix?’: DIGAfix? – the flexible, pressure- free, diagonal fixing – ensures ‘all-round and more adjustable’ lacing. Tightening takes place at the correct point, the hook is higher and protrudes less. Upper and lower shaft can be laced separately. Removable, anatomically shaped tongue. Tough, washable removable foot bed with shock absorber. Gore-Tex? lining – MFSystem – special foam padding. Makes for ‘perfect fit’! AirRevolution System (AIRStream) with very high breathability, approx. 30 percent above the average Gore- Tex?shoe. When walking the in-built pumping action provides extra removal of humidity. Repair service, instructions of shoe care and 2-year guarantee are included. And, of course, FPA approval!
  23. Justin has said that the zigzag will have avaible spares for it to be bought, but as ive said eariler u cant get rid of the basics. Sure we have gps etc but the military still teach map reading for example
