  1. Sounds promising. I could only spot the saw clips next to the side ds. are there any behind? If you're still posting a few months from now ill put it in my list.
  2. The bridge rings being two separate halves is slightly worrying. Any feedback on these?
  3. Did you forget to put it on? Happens at your age you know. On a rarely serious note what're the saw attachment points like? I like the rear central one on the tm. Also is there scope to secure a first aid kit well? Looks a good contender for sure.
  4. It's a horrible thing, and thoughts go out to all involved. Lack of protection wasn't the contributing factor though. Where would you stop? I don't mean to sound callous. I have to regularly check myself with a top handle saw. Complacency can literally kill.
  5. Ones that arrive within a week of ordering them.
  6. He might has well not have bothered, ill be going back to side up the other half tomorrow.
  7. good man, for 170 he'll likely continue to work for you over other people.
  8. I'm not far from you and quite easily charge more than that, often without having to try to hard. I've also worked over your way for very good rates, to cover my travel and time. I never intended to compromise and work for any less than I charge though. While you're willing to work for less people won't pay you more! I use my kit where needed as ultimately I know itll work how and when I need it too. I already explained that bit though.
  9. Is it rated as hitch cord? That link was for 6.5mm line.
  10. I'm Labour only too, you might have a point there but its nothing ill lose any sleep over. I don't tend to use my kit beyond its limitations and its generally well maintained apart from the light rigging pulley that I've been trying to kill for ages. Also, I take no responsibility for gnomes.
  11. Sarah Millican, if I had one free kill it'd be her. Hands down
  12. Same, I keep everything I need in my truck. Who I'm working for and what I'm doing dictates what I bring. I don't charge extra for my big saws, unless the company doesn't have their own. I just know mine will be sharp and well maintained. Terror saws get used for the last couple of metres though. I take a full maintenance and sharpening kit everywhere. It's amazing how some places won't even have a combi spanner sometimes. I Luke my rigging kit as I've got capabilities for stuff like speed lines, controlled zipline, our balancing limbs, which most firms don't have. It makes my life easier.
  13. And he almost ruined GoT for me
  14. Ed Sheeran, smug twat. I feel dirty typing his name
  15. Its like "Catch me if you can"... you're the old fat bloke. I'm Leo
  16. Absolutely none mate. The cab sav is much more befitting a cold evening.
  17. Subject to 6 months checks for signs of abuse?
  18. The last one was personal, I'm sorry.
  19. yours is getting on a bit any showing its age?
  20. you'd rather sub the job out and watch and give pointers?
  21. You prefer yours simple and easy to loosen?
  22. You struggle to get into one recently?
