  1. Car battery will do just fine, it has an initial 15A draw to heat the glow plug then it goes down to a couple of amps. Using a spare car battery just now, I intend to use a 12V 15A power pack once I rake through my stuff as I am fairly certain I have one.
  2. No but might get that when I buy my next one. just ordered a battery from Amazon for the remote as it is not one I’ve have an MN27.
  3. Fired up the heater today, just had it on my workbench so not in it’s proper place yet. Brought my workshop up from 12 to 17 deg C in an hour, not too noisy but very few things are now as I’m half deaf. i like it, works a treat so far.
  4. I like that, what’s the story regarding it, it is the base that intrigues me although the top is fab as well.
  5. Like that^^^^ The smell reminds me of cigar boxes from my childhood.
  6. Just changed the rubbish fuel hose that was fitted for a proper one and fitted a fuel filter, expected to have to do that after watching a couple of YouTube vids about them. 1st observations are: Loads of sharp edges, sliced a bit of the replaced fuel hose to make a grommet for one edge where the fuel hose is routed. Case is a bit flimsy. However for a £100 delivered I certainly can’t complain, providing it works. Hopefully get some more time to muck about with it shortly. So far impressed with what I got for my money.
  7. Look what the delivery man brought me today. Your fault eggs😀
  8. Lucky you didn’t go at about 11 o’clock because if it is anything like our local chemist it is full of fine looking fellas in for their Methadone.
  9. Not on FB, any decent sellers? just so I don’t try buying one from a scammer
  10. You’ve convinced me, I fancy one of them diesel heaters for my baltic workshop
  11. Eggs isn’t that misbehaved.
  12. Looks similar to a TU16 Tirfor which uses a 11.5mm wire rope, however I not come across your brand before so can’t say if it’s the same.
  13. I drill a 8 or 10mm hole and put in a little glyphosate. I do this with gorse and rhoddy stumps. I put the GP in a fairly liquid bottle as it is nice and accurate getting it into the hole so to speak.
  14. I use my big lump of a Charnwood 16B daily once the temp drops a bit (about 4 weeks ago) not sure if it is still made after the new crappy regs, good stove and made in the IOW.
  15. I use the FS400, and it is good at clearing heavy mutant bramble, scrub and reed stuff but I think it wood struggle with 3” gorse stems, I would take my chainsaw to them. However I am not a professional at this so I will bow to the more knowledgeable members.
  16. About an hour away, most of the time I just take a punt, gone through to view a couple of higher value items, on them however I have never won them anyway. Bought some things that have been a great buy but have also bought some items that have been knackered, and as they are sold as seen there is no come back unless the description is wrong. All part of the game. The staff through there are good, always been very helpful to me.
  17. Yip not denying it, it was just a wee reminder as I have seen people paying more for a 2nd hand item than they can buy it new for by the time you add on the 38%. I buy quite a lot stuff from SK, it’s like Christmas for me when I go through to pick up my goodies.
  18. Is it heavy on your neck if you are lent over sanding for a couple of hours?
  19. Remember with SK auctions you need to add 38% onto your winning bid to cover vat and auction fees.
  20. Edit sorry just saw you called them Hellerman in your post.
  21. Were those sleeve stretching pliers not made by Hellerman, remember using them years ago on what we called Hellerman sleaving.
  22. Ace
  23. John, not trying to smart but could you not have just worn your prescription glasses under a normal welding helmet, why does a welding helmet with a prescription lens incorporated make it so much better? As I say genuine question.
  24. Thanks for that Gareth, still struggling to head my head round the logic for a license even if it is free. Goes without saying re land owners permission.
  25. Why is that Bob? When you don’t need it for the likes of rabbit? Just asking because I don’t know.
