  1. Thanks mate will probably get one:D
  2. Hi guys , any of you guys got the protos helmet and if so how are you getting on with it, do you keep cool enough and how are the ear defenders ?
  3. As I only use my saw at home for firewood I run it on aspen all the time so I can leave it with fuel in
  4. There are still a lot of grey areas and until it gets challenged in court we can only follow what we believe are the right guidelines which is what you have said Mark.
  5. any thoughts on the 455 rancher ?
  6. we use the 560 at work, a good saw. cheers
  7. hi guys, i'm looking to get a new saw. I'll use it for cutting logs for the woodburner at home, I get the wood from work as I drive the crane truck so the saw needs to capable of cutting through stuff upto about 16" and will be used for upto about 2 hrs at a time then not used again for a couple of weeks. we use husky all the time at work so i'm used to them but i'm open to suggestions. I can bring home smaller diameter wood, I don't want to get one that's too big but it has got to last a long time and not struggle. any suggestions please.
  8. Sorry forgot to mention it only smokes when cold Sent from my GT-I9195 using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. Hi mate, its alot older than that, i'm going to use aspen in it but not sure as aspen is 50:1 so do i need to add more 2 stroke ? Sent from my GT-I9195 using Arbtalk mobile app
  10. You could try a wire brush that fits onto an electric drill, you can buy them at b & q Sent from my GT-I9195 using Arbtalk mobile app
  11. hi all does 2 stroke oil go bad ? got a large can ages ago but saw is running like crap, I know fuel only lasts about a month but not sure about the oil, no matter what I do the engine either races or dies, done all the carb settings etc BUT it is a cheapy saw and needs a 25:1 mixture. thought I might try it on aspen as I only use it at home for occasional firewood cutting and yes there is still room in the refuse binwhich is being collected tomorrow
  12. The youngsters do listen to some crap don't they:singer:
  13. running bowline on your climbing line choked below your flipline/strop with your climbing line running through a karabiner or tool hook to stop you spiking it. just done my cs38 and that's what the instructor recommended but they do only teach you the basics.
  14. I,m 50 and just started climbing, got my cs38 this week so go for it. its ok being old and grumpy in an armchair but being old and grumpy up a tree is much more fun !
