You will be surprised actually how untight that sheared off thread is in that housing. I sheared a head off one of those torx bolts in exactly the same place but on the earlier all unpainted alloy version of those and I simply just wound the broken part out the other side it was littke more than finger tight once the head had sheared

£10 an hour for a grafter??? Minimum wage is £10.42 an hour...and that's for the lowest of the low...not a grafter who knows how to use machinery.

Jeez....did they want you to season it as well then?? Some people really want their cake and eat it

A quick advert on your local housing estate or village neighbourhood fakebook page stating free logs buyer collects will shift them in an afternoon. Did that with a load of old ragstone I dug out my garden, and some slabs under an old shed I took down. Mention free and they are like flies round poo

As above........cut anything but dry, planed clean wood and chains need regular sharpening. Just sharp isn't good enough. Razor sharp is the only option. I usually print this off and give a copy to my 'weekend warriors' Looking after the chain on your chainsaw - Saw Chains WWW.SAWCHAIN.CO.UK Looking after your chainsaw chain The reason they state you cannot flip the bar over, is because of the attached chain adjuster bracketry arrangement they have fitted. This may well be removable from the bar, so someone with reasonable knowledge should be able to flip the bar and re-attach it...assuming it's not riveted or spot welded in place. If you have a power washer or even a decent jet head on a garden hose it would help if you washed as much crud off those logs as you can before cutting. Remember a chain is a 'blade' and running a blade through grit (all moss contains wind blown grit) and other detritus will dull very quickly. You could buy a nice expensive Stihl saw for a grand....the chains will still dull as quick.....even if you are buying Chinese ones made from cheese.

When you state it is 'flawed' isn't that just your opinion? Or does it fail to meet legal standards? Big difference.

Yup...it will just take a bit longer to get down to the bone wearing that class. 😁

Neither was I 😐

True. When you see fr jones selling stihl stuff with 30+% off rrp, it give the impression that every dealer is buying from stihl with a 50 or 60% discount to allow them to sell at those prices and still sell at a profit and pay for good after sales service. The fact is, they admittedly were buying in bulk from stihl to get the best price, but even so they would have been working on a profit margin of around 10% which has proved to be unsustainable. Unfortunately price seems to be the over riding buying decision for most customers, and they forget all the other parts of purchasing from a dealership needs to be paid for out of that margin such as aftersales support etc. We made a decision several years ago to focus mainly on the private consumer who appreciate a quality product, who want good service and have a realistic budget. This has worked well for us as although if asked we may well offer a small discount, but we can actually make more profit out of selling two machines to a private customer than selling a pallet to the trade at stupid prices. And a lot less hassle.

Yes, that's what I stated

No they are not the same.......although they are jointly owned and distributed now by the Yamabiko corporation. Shindaiwa pre date Echo by some years and both highly regarded Japanese manufacturers.

Really? My understanding is they only 'expect' that kind of discount, simply because of the prices FR Jones have been selling at....not every dealer is an FR Jones who give the impression dealers are making a big margin by offering such huge discounts. This has become obvious, as they are now bankrupt through selling a prices that were unsustainable.....even if that's what 'most tradespeople expect' I would be interested to hear from you exactly what percentage margin you think us dealers get from Stihl.......if unlike Jones we aren't buying machines by the pallet load to get better terms??

My advice is avoid the 'amazon' 'Alibaba' chinese tat. These things are really dangerous, and the last thing you want is hitting something solid and a chunk of it flying off and taking bits of you with it. I am biased towards Stihl, but other reputable manufacturers product the same at similar quality.........don't buy simply on price for these things. Quality can be a life saver in this instance, and they are not overly dear anyway. I have used not only Stihl, but Husky as well as SAWTEC and Oregon and all are well made

Quite obviously you can't. But my reply was in response to the comment before suggesting you should.....if you read ahead you will see.

Echo isn't the same company. There are a plethora of metal brush cutting blades available. All you need is the centre diameter (normally 25.4mm- or 1" but on early stuff particularly Huskys it can be 20mm) Then diameter, then number of teeth/blades on the edge. Then any manufacturers blade that matches that spec will fit.

Last set of accounts for them made up to and including 31st December 2021 show a LOSS of £711,214.00 for the year. Previous year was another loss of £56,039.00. You sell stuff (particularly Stihl) for little more than just above cost to under cut other long standing reputable businesses to put them out of business, then you need to sell a LOT of kit.......otherwise you will go out of business yourself. Jones were selling Stihl stuff cheaper than I could buy it from Stihl.....simply because they would buy a pallet at a time and stack them high and sell them cheap. Even though Stihl said discounts were frowned upon and to only collect in person.....assembled and demonstrated. Yet they turned a blind eye in return for volume sales. (I'm not bitter..much. However, I'm still trading.)

You don't phone the retailer in this instance IF they are insolvent. You contact your credit card provider and start a claim through section 75 protection.

Unlike credit card purchases, debit card purchases are not covered by section 75 of the consumer credit act (as debit cards are not CREDIT cards) You may have some legal redress under the voluntary chargeback scheme however. But unlikely being a voluntary scheme with very limited liability.

You would be forgiven for thinking this Glastonbury woke fest was organised and sponsored by the BBC

Watched Guns N Roses (think it was last night? on the BBC) and that Axel Rose just cannot sing anymore. Googled afterward thinking it was just me, but quite a lot going on about it and apparently he's ruined his vocal cords- had to cancel some of the tour earlier on this year

Love the fact they needed to arrow mark on your hand which fingers needed re-attaching! 😄

If the return is emitting air back into the tank it must be 'sucking' air in through the fuel pick up...otherwise if it wasn't then you would create a vacuum and the primer bulb would depress and not return once any air in the system has been expelled. If you are sure it is expelling air back into the tank then it must also be sucking it in from the pick up. If not then it doesnt make sense as the air in the primer bulb has to be coming from somewhere. Have you hooked out the pick up pipe in the tank, removed the fuel filter from the end and whilst pressing the primer put you tongue over the end of the pick up pipe....logically you should feel your tongue being drawn into the pipe under light pressure. If not and you are adamant it is still expelling air back into the tank and the primer appears to be operating as it should, then it may have a small pin prick hole in it, which is small enough to be sealed with your finger when primed hence why it still appears to work

I hope not....those that create submarines have very strict processes already. This one was pretty much knocked up in a shed and was declared unseaworthy. The insurance company supplied the CEO a disclaimer report stating all the reasons they wouldn't insure it and it was on his and his passengers own backs if he went through with it. He was on video after being informed of this stating 'where do I sign?' I suppose when you are super wealthy like his paying passengers insurance is an irrelevance. Not as if being off work because you've broken you leg is going to worry their financial situation. A big price to pay tho just for bragging rights at the billionaires top table

Well done. Good job. ...and yes, I like to think so. 😁👍
