    Something that people don't take into account. Putting saw performance over they're own health. I like my 2006 441 but the God damn star shaped spongey bit ( on the left hand front when up turned) keeps coming off meaning it vibrates like a bag of lister powered dildos!!! I think I need to super glue it on as just picking it up it can become dislodged. Pretty sure old 440 had less vibes, weight and more power but didn't have heated handles.

    I enjoy the job but, partially my bad business skills, am not earning enough to sustain my very modest lifestyle. Would probably be better off employed but the flexibility of running my own thing can't be beat. If I had my time again I would be a sparkie. I just feel like I am chasing my tail all the time and the public don't appreciate quality work the only thing that speaks is price- even if the spec is not met!!!

    Ermm I was definitely looking at them as a present for someone else and that is not my bathroom!! I think you reflective strip would do the job. Depends how often you are traveling with the winch on front as to how much effort you are going to make. You could probably get some sticky marker lights Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app

    I use a pantin whilst ddrt why would you not. I am still only really using srt for access, not keen on the rope wrench and friction hitch. Waiting for the akimbo to drop!! Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Yeah I would second checking the uj. My mums disco vibrating was a precursor to a uj breaking up and then flailing a shaft into the bottom of the truck. Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app

    You got that right. I always say to the nippers who are going on about the gym.. just work harder at work, and your getting paid. Another day at the green gym Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app

    That is good. I always think that LA should be at the forefront of health and safety as well as latest techniques. Sadly it is not always the case. I had a bit of a run in with my LA regarding havs, something they had not considered before. Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app

    If you have worked closely with any LA you will notice this complete lack of accountability. I can list of many but recently have heard of the EA undertaking £750k of flood defence works only to find out that they did not own the land! amazing amount of money spent their but no body got reprimanded- bit of a joke in the office apparently!! Similar stuff happens at the local LA but none known with that amount of money. As said rather than a fine which ultimately the tax payer is picking up they would be better off finding someone to hold accountable and giving them the boot. But in reality i suspect they would get a hefty pay off as they go..
