I keep meaning to post this one up as it is a cracking bit of kit!! Although we have always sold Ghillie and Kelly kettles the MKettle is a fairly new addition to our shelves. It is produced by the same company who makes the Ghillie kettle so you can be assured of its quality. It is a fantastic compact little kettle that can easily be clipped onto your belt and since it has a rubber stopper the water can be carried in the kettle. The MKettle - Ghillie - Brands Its ideal for a brew on the go, especially as it seems that winter is already drawing in!

I know it's a bit odd! We only found out through this thread and had to call Husky to check it out! Ah well FINALLY some good news to give the lads who preordered:thumbup:

The stihl bg86 by a mile Used both, the stihl got nicked from a job so got a husky, vibes are very bad on the husky.

Cheers for the info. It does look like a really nice phone. Surprised at the HTC, I thought it was on par with the s4 looks like I will side step that one!

How bad is the speaker? I would be mainly using external speaker for sat nav rather than music/videos etc. It's the xperia, the galaxy s4 or HTC one for me, just trying to decide which one!

That about sums up the feedback we got when we contacted customers about the recall. We didnt manage to get our hands on alot of ZZ's but the vast majority, if not all were disappointed they had to hand them back and have asked to go on a preorder list for the next ZZ. Even the ones who didnt manage to get a ZZ are still very interested in buying the MK2. I dont think Petzl will have any problems selling the MK2 version at all.

We have the Edelrid Micro 0 and Micro 3, the 0 is indeed very tiny! Edelrid Micro 3 Carabiner - Edelrid - Brands Edelrid Micro 0 Carabiner - Edelrid - Brands

Was the 540 you had a demo saw or one out or testing? Reason I ask is last I heard from husky(last week) is that the saws out for testing which includes a revised one for the 2014 emissions have gone back to Sweden for evaluation. so hopefully:001_rolleyes: there may be some news soon. So maybe give it another year or 3 and we might have one.

The emission change in 2014 is the reason for the latest delays with the 540XP, they are trialling two different versions of saw, one that meets the new regs V the the one they were going to put into production. If they dont hurry up then they might be well and truly too late. If you mean stopping the sales of new top saws on ebay then that shouldn't be going on anyway. Although its probably the sales of used saws that cause more problems I imagine. It was from a Husqvarna newsletter, who are taking it quite seriously. Hopefully the AA guys will have a bit more info on it and maybe it is just another fruitless attempt to ban the saw. Although I know they have tried a few times to ban top handles (and we do have organisations like the AA to thank in helping the HSE see sense as far as im aware)I always thought it was just the UK HSE whereas this comes from the EU so maybe it will have a bit more of an impact.

They are looking at banning top handle saws.

Something I read today that could concern a lot us us. “There is growing concern in the EU from several Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs) that top handle chain saws are being offered for general sale to members of the public instead of being restricted to professionals. Therefore, MSAs have placed an item on the agenda of the Machinery Directive Working Group administrative committee meeting in June to discuss the banning of such products. As you may know up until recently the UK has been portrayed as a shining example of how the industry selfregulates in this area. However, it would seem that the position is changing with some of these products being offered for sale on the open market.” That is all the info I have ATM but hopefully some of you can shed a bit more light on the subject. It does say its only being discussed in June and I dont know how long these things take but I hope we all will have a chance to voice our opinions on the matter.

Has a simple pressure/vacuum test been carried out? I would have presumed it has but sometimes simple things can be over looked. Ie slight air leak around base gasket or intake manifold.

Jon, just go and buy the 560!!!! You post in every 560 thread, you know you have to get one. Just see your local dealer on Monday, hand the dosh over and be done with it. Read the manual and run it up as it says as that sets up the autotune. You know it makes sense.

Lyon the Uk Petzl distributors have now issued the recall of the zigzag. There will be a pack sent out to customers who have purchased the zigzag with instructions on how to claim for a refund. We will post more details later today.

Just a quick update to say we have received an email to say that Petzl are still working on a solution to the problem which they should publish later in May.

A pic of pdf for app users

Due to a very recent email (received 30 mins ago) sales of the zigzag are now halted and it is recommended to stop using the zigzag until further notice. d22.pdf

I can understand the concern and it may be prudent to hold off buying one until Petzl release there final results on Tuesday 23rd April. We are still climbing with one and using a Beal pinch to keep the carabiner secure. We are also sending a Beal pinch out FOC to customers who have already bought a zigzag from us and are giving one away free with every zigzag purchase. It will be interesting to see the results as they have tried side loading the zigzag as per the information from the accident but havent been able to replicate the failure.

Is it just the mobile app your having problems with? Hopefully you can get the pic below but it is nothing new just the statement already posted in the zigzag failure thread. Just posting it here as it was getting lost in that thread and Petzl do want people who purchased the zigzag to see the statement.

Try either of these two, first is a .doc file the second a .txt file(no picture with this one though) Petzl Communication on the Zigzag april 15th 2013.doc Petzl Communication on the Zigzag april 15th 2013.txt

Urgent Safety Notice. Petzl have recalled ALL petzl Zigzags. Please see attached statement from Petzl. [ATTACH]122067[/ATTACH]

We asked them today about this and up to now there is no information about what or if anything happened. If there is any news it will be posted on the petzl web sites and facebook pages, plus all the dealers will be informed etc as soon as possible.

Don't steam clean it, you will cause more problems than you solve. Pro saws need far less cleaning than you think.

Sorry for the late reply. I have been using this 60cm sling Lyon Protective Sling with a treeflex harness. It allows me to get a full reach reach on pulling and I can just about reach the top of the zigzag. If you have a longer bridge it may be just too long but then I am only 5 foot 7 so it does depend on your arm length etc We also have them available in 18mm with no protective sheath which is a fair bit cheaper Lyon Webbing Sling

Took delivery of 2 and 4 stroke Aspen today. We have the 2 stroke in 1 and 5 litre cans and the 4 stroke in just 5 litre for now. We dont have it up on the web site ATM as we need to work out the additional courier cost and work it into the price, so its only available in the shop for now. Look forward to trying it out it out myself.
