Balls to you then. Tbh the Lansky looks over engineered for sharpening your onion choppers. I like the idea that it'll work for axes, work knives etc. plus I never liked the pull through ones. They work, but the satisfaction isn't there.

Yeah pretty well. I have them loose though. Vision is barely noticeable. Not great in the rain, but neither are visors or glasses.

The reason I never used that system (apart from using a pantin as Rich mentioned) is that depending on what hitch you use, you sometimes have to get it to bite manually. If your hitch decides not to bite and you have no way of reaching it you could be in trouble. You may also need to descend suddenly. Always have your system where you can reach it.

Why was an untrained teenager using a machine that size without supervision?

Fair enough, it was meant as a joke. If I offended the OP I'm sorry I've got one decent eye and one that doesn't work so good. If I ever lost the bad one I'd barely notice. If I lost the good one I'd be buggered. I don't use a visor. I climb a lot and find them a nuisance. I use safe eye mesh goggles from Clarks. Best eye protection I've found, and worth a look for £15

Then the probability of it happening to you has just dropped a further 50%

If I had to wash my own trousers the Mrs would have more to worry about than a first machine...

An Ms211 will be fine if you keep the chain sharp. Good light saws. Not the most powerful, but within your budget. It'll handle a 14" bar fine. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/231756111160 Not tried one of these, but at £350 for 50cc it could be a lot of saw for the money.

opinion!

Tsurugi curve 210 large teeth. Used to like the Natanoko but the MS150 has made big silkys redundant.

Lansky do a good system. Standard and diamond versions. It's actually a reprofiler, so will do dull blades and knackered ones too.

You know we love you, ol' timer

Where? Must've blocked him.

Wait for Stubby to pop along, he knows his stuff.

Don't be stupid. Hello, Clarice.

In my experience you can have cheap, or tomorrow. Seldom both

Happens to most women in their 50s mate, nothing to worry about.

I know it, just didn't see how it was relevant? Jon seems to enjoy his. I don't see any advantage over a carabiner though

They won't take mine back, I've already cut the nipple holes out of it.

Nice one! I'd certainly be wary about the buyer though. Possibly worth cross checking the serial numbers (assuming they're still there :sneaky: ) with arbSafe.
-
What?
-
Careful, someone will throw a brick through your chipper... I found it hilarious by the way. Then again I thought you were joking.
-
Exactly. It's the old one. You can lock it closed. The new ones don't, and kick out for fun.

To be fair there's a few people who are very good at earning money and run successful firms who aren't very good at climbing or ground work.
