  1. Sounds a good price to me. I think rrp on the helmet alone is around £65 and the ear defenders another 20 quid that's without the visor and mounting which are a tenner a piece
  2. Petzl vertex will grand for you. You can get them for under £100 and there's no Vat as it's personal use
  3. Met the owners at the APF, grand bloke's. Seems like they run a tight ship
  4. Mine is exactly the same, dam sight better than reading Pepper Pig over and over though
  5. All I do is sit back and put your weight in it, with experience you can tell if it's good. As Mesterh said if you think it's not right, just change it.

    HT75 price

    I've got one sat about doing nothing. What would you think I could price it at? The mechanics at work have been through it, changed some bearings, swapped the drive tube for a nice new straight one. It's had a new ignition module and a few other bits. Any idea's?

    Echo CS-4310SX

    I sold one the other week. It seemed ok. Didn't bother getting more as we've still stock of the 390 so didn't see the point.
  8. Just had a look at his Facebook profile. His shed is laid out better than our showroom. I think the saws are cleaner aswell. Although looking at his mrs I think I'd rather polish my saws
  9. You mean this dodgy geezer. The gypo that is, not Dave.
  10. We'll wait and see. See tomorrow 👍
  11. Pretty much. Stihl have taken their heated handle models off the order list. As for delivery dates there hit and miss. Husqvarna being the worst. We don't know if we're getting it till we get the invoice a day prior. Still waiting for stuff ordered last year. I know in some cases that wiring etc was made in Ukraine which hasn't helped matters
  12. He's probably louder. Talks for fun, and says what he thinks so pretty similar
  13. I believe you can
  14. So I'll be heading down early Friday morning, and heading straight for Honey bro's stand as they've put us up for the night. I'll be with a loud northerner in his mid 50's with a bald head who can't stop talking. So should be easy to spot

    STHIL MSA 220 T

    Had a quick go with one. Seems like it's got a good bit of torque. Probably slightly heavier than a 201t. It felt more comfortable in hand than the T540iXP, but that may be because I'm more use to Stihl top handles than Husqvarna.
  16. There's an adapter for the Protos that Honey Brothers sell. It's the same one that let's you fit Husqvarna/Sordin defenders I believe
  17. Indeed. It was sold within 5 minutes of coming in. Unfortunately don't know when we'll get the others. Never mind the XPG.
  18. The mythical beast has arrived!!
  19. I've met King Charles twice. First time I was 10 (maybe younger) and he took the time to take five minutes to talk in a busy line of people wanting to do the same. Second time was at a scout camp. I think I was 18. He was visiting as it was Norfolk. Anyway my point is, there was no phones, blocking views etc. I was just stood there saying hello. He has the time for anyone it seems.
  20. I've found the Friday and Saturday to be better over the years. The traders could be less flexible on price on the Thursday compared to the Saturday. Although I now work at a dealership, I see how little profit these folk make on anything they sell. So just remember to be kind with the dealers when trying to get the lowest prices. I'm not aiming this at you or anyone if to be honest. I just want to put it out there 👍
  21. I told you this morning, it won't
  22. Keep the 038 going. We get plenty coming through the shop and generally need a dam sight less work than the more modern stuff. They usually come in for a quick check over and sharpen, or a running issue. The latter tends to be stale fuel that's been sat for 6 months. All in all great saws. Save some money and look after it is my advice 👍
  23. Very true. It's a great achievement when you've done though. I better watch my punctuation and grammar next time. I don't want the police on my back 👍
  24. Washing machine in a pillow case always worked for me
  25. Well sounds like there's a good few going. Maybe we all could meet up at one of the many watering holes for a bevvy and a chat
