  1. Is that with two 5.0Ah batteries very impressive... Think you mentioned before you had the knock off ones also? Makita cordless stuff seems to have shot up abit in price recently £100 more than they were last year for bare unit saw. Yes 5ah battery and yes have a pair of waitley 6ah batteries. They seen as good if not better power wise but have cracked both the casings, not critically but still probably the start of the end for them. Suspect they will hold up for a good bit yet with plenty gaffa
  2. Cutting metre billets of 4 to 6inch seasoned beech into 3 or 4 logs per billet the duc 355 can fill the back of my double cab pickup off a single charge. with chip sides so its a good heaped load. But over 6 inch seems to deplete the battery faster
  3. Makita duc 353 if you have makita batteries anyways. Ace little saw. Make sure you dont accidentally buy the tooless tensioning one

    Did you sell your 880 pretty easily?
  7. Usually its the flat of the carb body. But i may be wrong if its an unusual one. Is the pimple on the diaphram massive or normal? Im sure many gauzes will fit but id use a carb gauze. Will be the correct microns etc. Prolly one from a cheap chinese carb kit will do. Or just clean and check ( holding up to light) the one you have, assuming it hasnt wazzed across you workshop when using the compressor as mine usually do

  11. Sorry, just read this. I have 4x 5ah makita and 2x 6ah waitleys, been using them equally for more than 6 months. They hold their charge and work well, probably as well as makita ones. Both the cases of the waitleys are now cracked and taped up. They seem fine though and i have never dropped them, so must assume its just from flopping around on a top handle whilst climbing.
  12. Nah no display. Think those ones are dearer, but they seen to pair up ok just then two. I have little doubt they will become troublesome, but at 60 quid for a pair couldnt resist
  13. Well got a set of the freedconns. They seem very well. Kids have been hitting them hard all afternoon and not broken yet. Thanks for the help everyone. Will update as soon as they break!
  14. With the plug out? Have had saws so over fuelled the crank becomes full of fuel and they become hard or impossible to pull over. If your using a known good carb and you have a spark and you know compression is good, i would though blow out the cylinder, carb boot, air filter and exhaust with a compressor, refit spark if its not firing or soaking plug is soaked then its either over fuelling or you didnt clear enough fuel out.
  15. Have you tried pulling the plug turning upside down and pulling over. Pull the air filter off and blow everything out with an airline. Could be just massively flooded? Does it feel likenits hydro locked?
  16. It is excellent. Better than the ground saw id say
  17. And do these require a phone or do they work independantly?
  18. Thanks darren, how long have you had them. Are they defs waterproof?
  19. Nah, not for answering my phone, just for talking to ground crew. Ideally prefer all in one unit as can imagine ripping wires etc. Matty did your cheap ones not last well?and which model senas did you get. Seems to be a range and some comments about some mics being less goid at noise cancelling
  20. Update: The 36v top handle is mint. Have done a good few medium dismantles with this including chogging down stems with this. Its class up to 12" diameter and less rapid over this. Did a decent size multi stem syc the other day, maybe6 or 7 stems, didnt get through the 6 5ah 18v batteries ( equivilent of 3 x 5ah 36v batteries)

  22. I know i know its been covered but looking into getting a pair of these. I see there are lots available since the discussions on senas etc. Husqvarna, peltor and stihl seem to offer relatively cheap in ear all in one units. How have people got on with the wires on sena like ones? Badly snagged? Cheap motor bike kits holding up ok? Thanks
