  1. Cheers, ideally it'd have to be enclosed, otherwise it's not much different to a radiator though. My thoughts were that a dehumidifier would be more effective with great to draw out out of the clothes. Might have to insulate the box to. I reckon that's the way to go though Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. There you go Huck, your Willans and 3 knot system would give you change from a fiver! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  3. Oh you saucy mare. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  4. Smug bastard, I didn't know they existed! At £700 for a half decent one though I'm back to the drawing board! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  5. If that's what you're doing on the internet you've exhausted all of the big boy sites. Make sure you keep hydrated. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  6. Yeah, if I put my treemotion if be wishing that wet kit was my only worry. Looking at it a sealed box with a tubular heater and small dehumidifier could be a goer. £70 for the appliances and whatever the materials cost. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  7. Afternoon gents. It's Monday and my kit is soaked. The idea of putting on a soggy harness and wringing prussik gravy out off my sleeves afterwards it's making me want to take a bath with a toaster. Thinking of knocking up a drying cupboard for wet kit on the outside of my garage. Just some marine ply with a vent and some kind of heater. Bit stuck on the heater part though. Needs to be fairly low draw but enough to dry a wet climbing kit overnight. Any ideas? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  8. I'd be after 75% after spending out that much! Mind you 7.5% would be an improvement for me. It's help if I didn't reach for the big shot every time i guess Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. What's your excuse when you miss? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  10. Hi Nigel, thanks for your reply. This thread prompted me to bring out the Tekichu today. I've only used it a few times as the work big shot gets the most use. I have to say I was disappointed. Considering it's use, the pins that the arms lock into have broken meaning that the arms float freely. The basket that holds the throw bag is flimsy and lets the bag fall out before release. The rubber is significantly weaker than the Jameson too meaning a lot less power. Every time you fire it the rubber comes off the arm. I'm frustrated enough to bin it and buy the Big Shot. I appreciate that you've tried to improve on the competition for all industries but when I called it over complicated it seems I was right. I'm not Stein bashing here. I use and rate a lot off your products, and generally have a lot of respect for Stein as a company it's just a shame that this product is unfortunately not fit for purpose. I'd be happy to send photos. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  11. Haha of course mate! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  12. Question is: we're they put there before or after the gob was cut?[emoji3] Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. I pop an ascender on over my spikes on srt. That way you can ascend normally with a Haas system, or clip your neck/chest tether in as well as your panting, and just spike up the stem, with your system advancing as you go. You don't even need a lanyard unless it's a really far or smooth stem. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  14. There is almost never an excuse. Justifying it like that is just plain lazy. If you're going to attempt to do something, start out by doing it right. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  15. Looking good Mark. I but you're carefully not to hit the sides when chucking logs on! Did you consider a raisable chip flap for the top? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  16. It doesn't like starting with the chain brake on. Other than that few pumps on the primer, choke then go! You know the on switch is the opposite way round on these right? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  17. Fair enough mate. I don't see how people manage with a single cab tipper as a primary vehicle though. If your work it's mostly off road get a mot or tipping trailer. Then again I've just bought a double cab with an alarm I can't turn off! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. Sure, but how long does it take to shovel out a double cab chip box? Plus if you're that far off road you can usually leave the chip somewhere. Ideally you'd run a transit/chipper, and a 4x4 with tipping trailer. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. I think if you really need 4 wheel drive and tipping a tipping trailer is the best way to go legally. I've always though 4x4 tippers were a bit of a fad. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. It is a good price. I run the equiv 441 on a 20" bar and it's got power to spare. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. Thought you wanted older tech? New, 560. Older, 365. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  22. Ported 357 is wicked, but for chogging get a 365 on a 20", and when the warranty is up grind out the transfer ports. It'll be similar weight to your 44, and handle stems well. If cash is tight jonesies do finance. Not worth the risk 2nd hand. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  23. I'd go for the big shot. More powerful and robust. The stein is unnecessarily complicated
  24. I have both. They're both good bits of kit, but only as good as the person using them.
