    If it makes your life easier is that not a win? If you but a loader for work to make life easier do you charge the client less? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

    what are the freelancers using? Just started with xero but I have no basis for comparison. I like the idea of being able to sync with your bank account so you don't have to keep tallying payments. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Evening guys, had a job for next week fall through so i'm now free from Wednesday to Thursday. I'd be interested to great from anyone around the Rugby, Coventry area that could use a climber in those days! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Not had any slipping issues with 11.0mm line. Can't really see how the can would wear considering the small use it gets. It might be that firmer ropes slip as the can doesn't bite down as hard as on softer lines. For instance tachyon is very firm due to its 2 cores, and the cam might not "squash" the rope as much as the velocity I use, which is quite supple and "squashable" by comparison.

    On a similar note if anyone can point me to an insurance company, arb supplier or Greggs that doesn't charge I'd appreciate it. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

    I've found the same on tachyon, which is thinner than your rope. The only solution is thinner line. 11mm velocity is an absolute dream. The redirect thing is a hooks pint but doesn't remove the need for limbwalks altogether. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Tiny echo!

    Joe Newton replied to Maxnaggle's topic in Chainsaws

    The echo is the only saw I use the fuel primer on. Cold start: 3x primer, choke on, pull over til you get a positive cough, choke off and go. It doesn't always like starting with the chainbrake on. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Have they made a pair of decent saw trousers that'll stand up to that!? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. Joe Newton
    They are similar fitting to the Hiflex (which was the one good thing about the stihl trousers) but I've had a good 18 months wear out of the Arbortecs and they're still holding up well, which is unheard of with Hiflex. They're also noticeably lighter too Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

    I remember one guy on my 38 that had tried to buy his kit beforehand. Must have had a dozen screw gates and other bits and bobs that were all unfit for purpose. Wait for your training before you splash out. You'll find what works for you and if you're even cut out for climbing before you blow any money. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
