  1. I read that some sponge filters need oil on them to work better.
  2. No idea about mains ones do they make any ones that aren't "fisher price"? Scythe with a ditch blade i found very easy to use and effective but the sharpening/ peening required is difficult though & abit of a skill to master.
  3. Battery run time is very low on the makita I have only 10 -15 mins for x2 5amp. The power is 1kw motor same as a 35cc petrol. Will do brambles easy/very well with a oregon mulch blade but need 6 bats and double charger etc if alot of brambles.

    Yeah real shame makita is stopping hope spare parts don't vanish too fast. Kind of hoping some other company might take over making petrol models when makita stops?

  8. So is a fuel card only suppose to be for a company vechicle used for work journeys? Must be alot of use to pop to the shops etc?
  9. In 5 yrs time will everyone be going about in..... Perfect for cities
  10. Shame there are no alkalyte pumps would probably make it cheaper? If bought in 200l barrels its abit cheaper.... per litre MOTOMIX Fuel Mixture (50L and 200L Barrels) OAKLEYSGARDENMACHINERY.CO.UK Stihl MOTOMIX Fuel Mixture STIHL MotoMix is our patented premixed fuel, specially blended for ultimate performance... Dealers getting barrels in and doing refills would be more eco also (less plastic )..... not worth the hassle for them though I suppose?
  11. After every mass shooting gun sales increase, a kind of a a postive feedback loop. As for US being more crazy than say Norway could be due to bigger income inequalities. Countries with big income inequalities tend to have worse mental health.

  13. Just stick a rope all around like rings on a barrel....
  14. Old sheep netting another(cheaper) alternative though squares abit large.
  15. A agree that it should be banned apart for use on all weather sports pitches etc. Local garden centre now seems it is about 50% plastic garden crap/nik naks solar laterns etc, 20% weedkillers/ chemicals,and about 30% negelected plants. Most of the the garden tools are poor quality disposable stuff that won't last 5 mins (apart from the odd exception like the promotional felco scecateurs stand etc) I think alot people just don't like nature as its has a tendency to be "untidy". One tiny brown spot on an otherwise prefectly healthly plant and they are having a panic attack, and wanting to buy chemicals /products marketed at them to to fix it. hence the huge array of questionable garden products. Can see why plastic grass and matching plastic plants offers them a perfect solution. Horrible reflection on societal values.
  16. Really is getting more & more common now. It seems its standard for new second homes. Technically it can be recycled.... but im in no-doubt most will end up dumped in laybys or set or fire in a 3rd world slums, or landfilled after it all is ripped up after its 5 -10yrs..... lifespan

  18. Don't see the point of it, can use left hand and want to keep moving the chain around the bar as sharpening anyways.....
  19. Seems not needed imo, just hold with left hand....
  20. Think im being very dense but what does that thing in the above link do better than clamping the bar straight into a regular bench vice?
  21. Found this ,and it seem more realistic in that tallies with the percentages on fuel consumption increases you calculate: https://www.concawe.eu/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/rpt_13-13-2014-00668-01-e.pdf I saw another reference/link that seemed to suggest a fairly large % variation in e10 Fuel mpg betewen different engine/car models for real world driving - can't find it now. Some cars were near the same mpg others less, ws dependent on how the engines ECM systems responded to E10 etc i think they concluded....
  22. For stuff that is a loads of cuts 2inch diameter or less etc... it works ok. With 4 5ah batteries it lasts awhile.
