The tank is 0.52L, so that'll be 9.6 tanks from 5L. 9.6 tanks x 35 5L cans = 336 tanks

I've got two DeWalt cordless drills; 14.4v and 18v both Li-ion. The manuals give X full cycles for each under ideal circumstances. I'm a pedant and so tried to do my best to keep them charged as per manuals. The 14.4v batteries both failed at under 300 cycles, well short of X. And the 18v batteries both gave up the ghost before the others, not even a quarter of X. I'm mightily peeved about the poor lives of said batteries! I can see the need for cordless equipment. But it's put a very sour taste in the mouth about DeWalt, that I'd previously held in high esteem; and about power tool battery technology as a whole. Neither the Husky or Stihl batteries are inexpensive. And like all such components, when they fail, the manufacture always has that nugget to fall back on, "It's the way it was used/kept. It's not our fault, so it must be user error. That'll be 'caching' please for a replacement. Be sure to come back when that one fails too."

Yep. Yesterday and today.

Oo! That's cutting...

That's no way to treat your mother. Shame on you!

Perhaps he was a bird in a previous life.

If you or he gets a copy of a photo cert, do not laminate it! They've changed the ink, which is now no longer heat proof. You end up with a multi coloured laminated swatch. Pretty but useless. Instead, get something like this: http://www.lanyardstomorrow.co.uk/en/id-card-holders/id-badge-card-plastic-pocket-holder-horizontal-pouchs-10-x-8cm.html?gclid=CKKs8truqcwCFRSeGwodrN0AdQ#.Vx4XnMh4Wc0 and if you want it waterproof, just seal the opening with glue.

If he's got certs but can't find his docs, then it would pay him in the long run, to get copies direct from NPTC. If you just would like to see his certs, that's one thing. But if you're going to insure him, the company may need a photocopy of his certs. Either way, he's going to have to obtain copies of his certs/docs.

.325", .050" go for 95VP 3/8", .043" go for 90SG I see what you mean about looks. Part of their site shows red on grey graphics, with "PRO-LITE or Micro-Lite Pro". While another part of the site shows red on grey graphics, with "DOUBLE GUARD". And another shows black on grey graphics, with "IN-TENZ". It's like they had one website and later on they redeveloped another from scratch but left the first one in place. But they've done it twice and now there's three different Oregon.com websites.

Taken from Oregon's US site: "Developed by Oregon for use on small to midsize chain saws, this narrow-kerf .325" pitch bar is specifically designed to work with our Micro-Lite™ 95VP chain. Features kickback-reducing small-radius nose and chip-resistant rails. Note: Always install a Micro-Lite™ bar together with a Micro-Lite™ chain in order to obtain all the advantages built into the Micro-Lite™ narrow-kerf cutting system." So yes, there is a chain but I reckon the second paragraph is more to do with marketing the brand. If the figures match up, you're ready to go.

I enjoyed that.

Did the tree belong to that property?

I like that fun and purpose in one.

Pickups are popular with those that often have smallish loads, which are dirty, loose or over sized. Try carrying gravel or wet soil or sand in a van or SUV and you can kiss goodbye to paintwork and a re-saleable interior, plus welcome in rust and a musty smell. 4wd is an added extra, (when it's available) and given the rights tyres. Generally the big downside of pickups, is that the ride is only good with a load in the back. Empty they're like driving a motorised pogo stick.

Now that would be handy.

Looks the same to me. You'd have to get it shipped. But I reckon even with shipping it would be cheaper.

Messed up the link.

It doesn't need to be laborious. If a check needs to be done on a daily or weekly basis, such as rope checks, checks on greasing and the like. A tick list sheet can be made up for that piece of equipment, for a week's worth of inspections or a four weekly period at a time. With headings such as Equipment, Date, Daily check, Weekly check, Grease points done, Filters cleaned/replaced, Fluids, Who as a printed name and a Signature.

Depends on: The equipment Whether inspection is cursory or if it is at a specified interval; or dictated by law or by manufacturer; or as a result of accident; or exceptional loading; or on grounds of safe daily usage Frequency of inspection I suggest an A4 sheet for each particular piece of equipment and sort in sections, i.e. ladders together, strops together, climbing harness, etc., etc. Keep in a dedicating folder of 'Equipment Inspection' by year, 2015, 2016... Saws get their own section, lifting & rigging get a section, personal climbing equip' get a section, 1st Aid kits get a section, PPE gets a section etc. Keep notes of new/secondhand equip' purchased, first use & retirement of equipment and reason for such. If an inspected piece of equipment was faulty at inspection but could be reused after repair. The record must show that that item was clearly marked, so it was not used until properly repaired. Adding notes when repaired to indicate who/what company carried out the repair, (with a copy of a relevant invoice) and re-inspection data before reuse. If equipment has a finite lifespan with a known expiration date; it is important to demonstrate, that that piece of equipment was/is not being used after that date. Inspection date and by whom is important. As is the signature of the person who carried out that particular inspection. If there's a printed name but the signature is of someone else, then questions may be asked, as to who actually did the inspection and who was qualified to carry out such. Good & accurate recording of inspections, is as important as the inspection/s themselves. You need to inspect but you also need the proof that you have done so. Keeping in one place, with a backup on computer, means that if things do go honey-shaped. And if/when you are then asked to produce evidence of inspections, you're not hunting through scraps of paper or having to ask someone else when you can't remember.

Perhaps it's been run on Esso.. puts a tiger in your tank. (Only people of a certain age will know what I mean.)

If you'd got the 353 I enquired about, I would have given that a though clean before sending it off. Apart from not wishing someone else to clear a mess not of their making, all that crud costs postage.

You've got to give it to those silos. They sort of float in mid air for a while but when they go, they don't hang about.

Someone took a lot of time over that. I hope it tasted as good as it looked.

Also, when you say fresh fuel, you didn't just empty the tank and refill from the same mixed can find you? How old is the premix you are using - under a month old or older than that?

On one of the vid, there's a mention of a 3-yr. commercial guarantee on the engine in the U.S.. What's the guarantee out the U.S.?
