Lets see some more pics of big shiny bits of kit from the second jobs please. As for firemen striking, I don't care. Was thinking of joining when younger but the thought of leaving half my dinner to rush out and chase a fire did not sit well with my belly. Pensions etc. are a alien concept. i'm told now I will retire at 69. Not planning on hanging around until then anyway. As long as I'm working I count myself as lucky. Everyone with less or more good luck to them. let's see some more interesting kit!!!

Just ordered second batch of tickets. Ordering system very straight forward. Must be a weight off your shoulders not having to deal with all those books of raffle tickets Mr. B. New system makes a lot of sense. Good luck everyone. Honest!!!

Ran a 24" on the 372xp for a couple of years, now down to a 18" bar and much nicer to use and carry through the woods.

That had to hurt

Looks like they will go over your glasses as well. check the other ones at the bottom of the amazon page cooooool Would never wear plugs again. had to wear them for over a year in the factories and was always having problems with my lugs.

You still got the tash Simon? Surely that will give you some protection?

Cheers. What size is your largest pots?

Did you undercut the roots as well as top pruning to get a good branching structure or growth retardants? just interested.

Time for a super duper upgrade!!!!!

Protos. You know you want to.

Glad my taxes are going to good use. Have no idea the point of that unless they had to make a quick roadblock to stop the Bandit.

I hope your paying your elves minimum wage!!!

I decided not to enrol due to the website not taking my card payment a couple of months back. Got a few mails asking me to do it over the phone. Thankfully I declined. Found the whole thing very antiquated. As said Credit Card should be no problem.

86m if my calculations are correct.

Thanks for posting mate. Don't think you will do it again. On the bright side you won't be picking your nose for a while. (nasty habit). Hope it heals well.

In my hoose and invite a turkey. Turkey doesn't make it home.

Got told I would have made a good hooker by a coach once. That was enough for me.

FIFA and competitive drinking.

Personally I stick by the label from my ripping chains which states that they must be used in conjunction with a chainsaw mill. Higher risk of kickback. Never thought of utilising older chains in this way. Be careful mate.

Well you learn something new everyday. (I have large Japanese hands !!!) I've got some concrete to break in the coming months (weather dependant)as laying a few new paths so will keep you posted. They were comfy warm. don't really notice wearing them after a while which I suppose is a good thing. Yes many applications for them. Dry quick too. I would recommend a picture without the chainsaw as it might confuse the confused.

Got a few new pairs of gloves to try out. Was in a different thread but didn't want to hijack the OP's question. I know there are a few gloves threads out there but thought I should update on the Sugis and Huskys. From top left to right Showa Thermo 451 Gloves Found these good for moving stuff around the yard. Comfortable and warm. Sugi Hara Vibration Dampening Gloves Rob D's Chainsawbars.com I was a little disappointed at first as they were very light. I wouldn't wear them for chainsaw work as I like the feeling of a bit of protection on the back of the hands. Nice and comfy when using the leaf blower for prolonged times. Think these will be good for summer work and look forward to trying them with the lawn mowers. Husqvarna Technical Chainsaw Gloves Barry and Mark @ Skylands (thanks for putting up the smaller size for me) Really good quality chainsaw gloves.Have used them for a couple of days and still look like new. Index finger is slightly long for mine but I have lost a few mm on each of them over the years. Very impressed. Confident if I misplace them I will see them on google earth Ansell 23-491 Winter Hi-Vis Glove Only available in size 10 so I use a pair of wooly gloves underneath. Great for snow clearing and salt spreading. Also found I like wearing them for pressure washing. Ripeur 2 Gloves Highly recommend these for brambles, hawthorn. Arborsafe Chainsaw Gloves Economy chainsaw gloves which I have found last very well for the money. Very comfortable too with a nice elasticated wrist. I like using these for brushcutting as well. Marigold PF Insulator Hi-Vis Gloves These are my usual general purpose glove and are nice and thick. Like to get a few pairs as they soak up the water when wet. So good to have a dry pair pit stop at lunch times. Great grip for pole pruning and hedgetrimming. UCI ICETHERM-BK - Thermal Insulated 3/4 Coated Work Gloves Lovely fleece lined and great for snowball manufacture. Warm the hands quickly. I use these for ice scraping the vehicles. OK so no climbing gloves reviews as yet. That will be in the new year hopefully. For pesticides I use the ansell nitrile gloves unlined with the long wrists but anyone with PA1 and 6 would know about these. I do a real mix of jobs on the estate so have found a good range of gloves suits my needs. As for stihl gloves, I have tried a few pairs but the fingers wear out far too easily for me to justify paying the premium. But they are comfy. Any comments and other recommendations are very welcome.

Bulldog fork,hoe,spade,shovel,rake. They have a couple of ranges available. Felco No.2 secateurs Bahco bypass loppers. Not keen on fiskars and wolfgarten personally but I know a few who like them.
