    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?

    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.

    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.

    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

    Don't see the point of it, can use left hand and want to keep moving the chain around the bar as sharpening anyways.....
  12. Stere
    Seems not needed imo, just hold with left hand....
  13. Stere
    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?

    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....
  15. Stere
    For stuff that is a loads of cuts 2inch diameter or less etc... it works ok. With 4 5ah batteries it lasts awhile.

    Bacterial or fungal canker?

    Why are you best doing it that way? I felled a decent size tree once yrs ago with an axe and a 2 man saw and it was very hard work. There is a real skill to using an axe well you want a nice sharp felling axe like this one: Basically having high quality & sharp tools make all the difference and not many of them around theese days. Alot easier to use a cheapo chainsaw, than getting then maintaining quality handtools. How many people know how to set & sharpen saw teeth?

    I wouldn't think a golf corse would have much blackthorn or brambles or old nails etc. Usually punctures can be avoided by not running over the above.
  19. Stere
    Its well documented to decrease fuel efficency but the % varies depending on engine and the e10 fuel spec, and maybe closer to 10% than 50%? New E10 fuel could reduce a car's economy by 10 per cent WWW.AUTOCAR.CO.UK A real-world study by What Car? suggests the government's plans to introduce new fuel could hit motorists in the pocket

    timber scribe? George Barnsley, Sheffield, Rubber Tapping Tool, Timber Scribe,Old Stock, Unused WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Could also be used as a timber scribe.

    Best blower?

    Stere replied to billpierce's topic in Chainsaws

    The husky Husqvarna 525BX is better than the bg86 imo having used both... I looked into battery and the run times quoted were very low and the blowing power also loads lower.

    Very lucky & a shame its often seems to come down to being lucky/pushy in getting good treatment.....
  25. Stere
    Id go battery for a new hedge trimmer prefer them over petrol.
