I got the 369 strimmer as saw it had more power than the 368 With 2 5amp batteries only last less than 20 mins though Also have the 18v chainsaw and 18v hedge trimmer both are excellent. Could do with a long reach trimmer and pole saw also was thinking of the dux60 but attachments cost alot...

The ridged ones look more a chunky diameter than the smooth but theres two different type of ones in the pics? Barrier Mesh Fence Pin - 1.3m x 8mm - Pack of 10 WWW.SCAFFOLDING-DIRECT.CO.UK Fencing Pin - Steel 1.3m x 8mm diameter. Used for the speedy erection of barrier mesh and similar style netting I used to use them for a line, for coarses, whilst dry stone walling and the modern ones were thinner.....

Had tha same happen in minature to the bark on a few small beech id planted before they died at about 10yrs old, in a wetter area of ground. My suspicion is that the soil was to to wet in winter as its very heavy clay. The beech trees in an a area next to them reached double the size and are thriving. So maybe lawn was re-landscape and was compaction?

Probem with the current "measures" is they aren't progressive or logical and skewed by coporate interests so the burden is on the less wealthy. Vechicle fuel tax is a flat tax, but non on aviation fuel etc. RHI cash for ash fiasco etc Insulation upgrade schemes dropped due to mismagement. Standards for new homes not raised due to placing undue burden "red tape" on housing companies that make record profits... Billion pound subsidies for fossil fuel companies above and beyond the ones for any "green agenda" . HS2 vanity project instead of investment electrifying branch rail lines or better local pulbic transport. Poor air quality is a big killer though so can understand the low emission zone, but needs viable alternatives subsidized or invested in at same time...

Some nice whaterboutry & aren't green energy sources often as cheap or cheaper than fossil now? On shore wind etc Do agree that alot of green is just green-wash and marketing bullshit though, to maintain the illusion that modern commerism etc can still be green. Think climate change is just one aspect and maybe not the worst one of exceeding "plantery boundaries"... mass extinctions pollution etc..... soil loss Things are beingf f**ked up that took nature/life eons to develop and there won't be any easy way to fix them?

From Wiki: Japan: An Illustrated Encyclopedia states: Paulownia wood is very light, fine-grained, and warp-resistant. It is the fastest-growing hardwood. It is used for chests, boxes, and clogs (geta). The wood is burned to make charcoal for sketching and powder for fireworks, the bark is made into a dye. The silvery-grey wood is sliced into veneers for special visiting cards.[19][20] It is important in China, Korea, and Japan for making the soundboards of stringed musical instruments such as the guqin, guzheng, pipa, koto, and gayageum.[5] More recently it is used as body material for low-cost electric guitars,[21] as the core for lightweight touring skis,[22][23] and for surfboard cores.[24] It is used in guitars as the core body, then laminated under a more durable wood. Or firewood?

Abit like the rear handle 201 thats was/is even more pricey. Also now that smaller saws are competing with battery ones. But think petrol will always be ahead in power to weight ratio.......
