  1. The battery stuff is great when you get over the initial outlay. After that it's just getting the machine bodies which I don't think are unreasonable

    Topping at 230 ft

    I think he was Manchester way. I could be wrong though
  3. LSR are great. Re-sold a couple of mine as well as fixing tents and things. When I've been in they even had 2nd hand boots, to look at you'd of thought they were brand new
  4. That's what usually happens
  5. Sat having a pint with a work mate. He's off this week but reckons he can get one from stihl. He's back on Monday so could try and sort it then. That's if you can wait that long. We are a main dealer by the way
  6. What age is the ht101 as there will be a difference in file size depending on the year
  7. It's a bit damp
  8. My dad's a member of Raynet or was. He's had a full licence since before I was born. What they don't isn't worth knowing. Just like most folk on here
  9. Thanks for the info. I've started working for a shop and we keep being asked if rope can spliced when it's come from a reel. At the moment we can't, but say it can be sent away which most people don't bother with
  10. I'm looking for a course to do this professionally. I've done a few for my own use, but would like them to be certified as I keep getting asked in the shop to do it and have to say no
  11. Put them on in the shop and got straight to it with no problems
  12. Not had any problems with mine. They seem to have good grip in the tree aswell as the ground. I can't complain and on my 2nd pair
  13. Agreed. I've always used my local dealer. He is only a mile from home, but when they know you got it from them you can most often get it sorted whilst you wait. Only downside is you end up buying a load more stuff whilst waiting!
  14. Soft arse
  15. He's a goodan. He was telling about an episode with a bell tent that you brought to the arb show and it not being the driest of evenings, you should put tents up sober!
  16. Got it booked off work now. Not sure which days I'll be there yet. Pie Eater Pete came in the shop so asked him, he's tempted so might jump on with him. I might have to go down and represent the shop though and chat with important people

    A new chapter

    Well all is good with the job. It's going really well. Enjoying being busy in January for the first time in years. I'm getting to talk about climbing equipment every day which stops me boring my mates down the pub. Just need to find a splicing course now, as I think their keen for me to do that

    All I can say is, how much are you willing to spend. If you can get yourself down to a dealer and try some on. What fits one won't fit another
  19. No problem. I'll have an ask at work in the morning aswell to see if anyone else knows of one. If you look in the carving forum wisewood has plenty of pictures up
  20. Found it. Goes under Wisewood on here
  21. There's a bloke on here from Formby if I recall. Not sure of his name
  22. Just had one in the village. A good few Lombardi to take down. Didn't even ask the local firm( lives in the village 200 yards from the job) I worked with him till recently, and have done numerous work for the PC. After us they had someone else who's done all the work for the past 4 years and he didn't get it. He obviously wasn't versed with crane work.
  23. Looking good Paul. Nice start to the new year. Hope to catch up at some point
  24. Hope your well pal. Just did xmas with my parents. Rowan loved every minute of it of course, won't be long till she's a non believer. Give my best to your lad and the rest of the family. Nothing like a new start, I just did mine before new year
  25. Merry Christmas Wayne. Hope you've had a good one
