    Step ladders

    I've got 8ft Hendon ladders. Absolutely spot on, my only complaint is I wish I got the 10ft ones
  2. They are indeed. They look like Tachyon to me, I'll be happy to be corrected though.
  3. This is what I've got from your s/n.
  4. Thought I'd get back into some climbing after 3 and a half years out of the saddle, looked at my kit to find it looking rather sad, the harness more than anything. ( I can't believe I climbed with!) So I got this the Husqvarna/Teufelberger Treemotion Pro. Not had the chance to get out in it yet as I bust a rib a couple of weeks back and twinged it today starting a stubborn 088. I will give feedback as when I get chance 👍
  5. If the slings are a bit loose I've used a metal figure 8 to take the slack. It can help having more than 1 in different sizes though
  6. I have to say that conversation comes up daily with quite a lot of our customers. Some of which you know they should be vat registered. It can get rather annoying as they try the same each time they come in, thinking we'll eventually give in
  7. The stihl one's fit petzl helmets or any other with Husqvarna type fittings. You'll then need to swap the visor holder for a stihl one and fit a 3M visor. As for the Protos, you'll need swap out the carrier for the ear defenders which allows the fitting for 3M ear defenders
  8. Sounds very familiar. Everybody wants their stuff back either the same day or the next! Some folks don't understand that we're flat out. We've got a couple of signs up saying it's a 3 week turn around, but yet they ring up 2 days after asking if it's fixed. This is usually domestic/semi pro customers/builders though.
  9. Who knows? We've got 10 on order. Still waiting on 592xp/xpg's from last year, had one of each so far! Got a load of bars for them though
  10. Con rod's?
  11. I think there's a lack of climbers up round Manchester. Treelink based in Rochdale have been looking for a good while
  12. Agree with that, did mine in January. Great course. He's very enthusiastic and knowledgeable with his background. Great bloke on and off the job! I usually hate doing first aid courses, but Dan makes it enjoyable and entertaining whilst still delivering an informative and in depth course. His trauma kits are also very good aswell 👌
  13. There good lads. If you don't get a reply on here, give them a call 👍
  14. The chain itself isn't that much more, only a few quid if memory serves. The files aren't the cheapest but, they reckon you can get two chain out of them. As far as I'm aware the first batch of files they had produced weren't hardened correctly so might not even last for a full chain. Last I checked you could get these replaced as warranty. I've got it on my 441 and I can tell the difference. It will fit some of the older husqvarna saws though that ran 3/8 though.

    I'll confirm adw's thoughts the correct screw should be a self tapper. Part no. 9075 478 4159
  16. The DCS-2500T is also extremely good. Had one cutting through some over sized slabs with ease and that was about 3 years back with the lower power battery
  17. The 2511tesc is brilliant saw. The C means it comes with 1/4 pitch carving bar which is solid nose which some folk can't stand. Some dealerships may offer a roller nose bar at extra cost, that bar comes in 12" as standard on the wesc model
  18. We sell the mowers and haven't had a problem with parts tbh. We do try and keep most stuff on the shelf though
  19. Have you thought about looking at Echo?
  20. I have to say I don't like them for pretty much the same reason as @MattyF . Had one and got caught up more than once. Now I'm on the opposite side of the counter I advice the customer of my opinions. They sometimes listen, but quite often don't. Some of the reason for not getting the carritool is, it isn't shiny.
  21. With the ISC rope grab I believe it can go straight on to a wire core line. The positioner 2 needs the S clutch as far as I'm aware. The Petzl one I haven't a clue.
  22. Planner do some. https://www.outwearltd.co.uk/our-brands/pfanner/gloves/chainsaw-protection-sleeve
  23. Nice Paul. Was great speaking with you the other night 👍
  24. Heard nothing but praise for Pfanner Nanoshield. Pricey, but believe it's got a high waterproof rating
  25. Cheers Jon. I meant to do it today, but didn't get chance. II'll pass the info to our customers who have them
