Don't know, never needed it. Another thing you might consider is, if you are using a Stihl 440/441 or 460/461 or even a 660 I think, they all have the same oil pump and you can upgrade it to a higher output pump, if you worried that it ts not oiling enough.

The bio oils that you mix with water will royally screw up the workings if left too long - total disaster. I been using straight lidl rapeseed oil - not sunflower - Rapeseed (they sell it as "vegetable oil" this will not cause any problems if left for month in the saw. Cheaper by far then the regular bio oil, which is just rapeseed with tackifyer. It will attract mice and rats though, so hang your saw high and don't leave empty bottles lying around. If you decant it into a rule/oil can, hang that as well or the'll chew through the plastic. The canadian forestry sector has done a pile of research on pure rapeseed oil in saws and they agree that its the best lubricant - superior to mineral oil - the only caveat being that on very long bars you do want to involve a takifyer. I have used it on a 28" bar without problems.

If you don't know exactly what you are doing, don't format the card with a pc - I did and the dash cam wouldn't recognise the card, apparently my computer had formatted it the "wrong" way. Your dash cam will have a format function somewhere in its menu. The cards do eventually wear out, as well.

The clones all take generic 6x19 wire core, 8.5, 11, or 16mm, very available and affordable. The special proprietary wire rope are for the original Tractel tirfors. Why didn't Tractel design their machines around generic cable sizes? The answer - £££. The real machine are way nicer than the clones, but for the money, not worth it.

Thanks I'll try, but it looks pretty much unalterable. What a bummer.

I have been listening to The Savage Nation podcast by Michael Savage. He a talk radio guy, just written a best-seller, "Scorched Earth - Restoring America After Obama" went to No. 2 on the NYT book list for weeks. This guy is a great analyst of the political undercurrents. He also thinks there could be an event. A false flag, giving excuse to declare martial law. The globalists are getting desperate now, with the referendum in Hungary on Sunday. Anything is possible

In two days, the USA will surrender control of the Internet Domain Name thingy to the United Nations. There are reasons why this may be a very bad thing for freedom, depending on how you view the UN. Obama's Plan to Surrender Internet Control May Be Unconstitutional - Breitbart

You know most new dash cams have a motion detection surveillance setting - but the vehicle has to be live, so I don't know how that would work unless one was sitting in the vehicle. Maybe with an auxillary leasure battery.

I'v been using my new Stein/Kask Super Plasma PL climbing helmet for a couple of days and the ear defenders just aren't doing their job. Compared to my old Husqvarna branded groundie's helmet - which has the exact (like identical) defenders and arms, they simply don't work. Its like I can get a good seal if I mess with them for a while, but as soon as I move my head there're letting in decibels again. So annoying, I'll have to ware plugs with that helmet now. Does anyone else have this helmet? Any notions - or could it just be the shape of my skull?

Yes I have the 800kg one, great tool! only a chinese clone though.

What with all these dash-cams about, its getting harder and harder for ordinary decent criminals to make a living!

Agreed, as far as former election go, but I think its different this time. Why has 90% of the news media committed to sabotaging Trump and covering for Clinton? 99% of Hollywood A-List begging their fans to not vote for him? All the billionaires against him?

you'll need to cut the frays off with a grinder and then weld them together into a "bullet". But that cable in your hand is missing a strand - tirfor rope has 4 or sometimes 5 strands, so you will need to cut off the damaged missing strand part anyway. If the whole rope is missing the strand just forget it, it won't work and will be dangerous. It looks old, carefully examine the swage eye end of the rope, it can rust in there, very dangerous.

Who'e gonna top that? Comr on fellers, still room for another auld codger!

Intrigued. Whats the project? Or is it classified?

But isn't the idea of RADS that you practically make a travelling Dr system on a single rope? When you want to limb walk you can leave the ascender attached and that, with a pulley clipped to it, becomes your effective tie in point. I have a foot ascender as well, have tried it in conjunction with the setup, with not great success, but maybe need to give it some more time. Ive just started all this malarky, never climbed before. True the rope access workers have very different needs, they use bosun chairs for most of their stuff. Having the gear is bloody great for everything though, in the handyman line - makes sweeping chimneys a doodle, strop on and brush like the devil with no worries about falling. Makes life easy. Difficult double glazing replacement job coming up, have placed glue in anchor bolts from a ladder for access in a place where scaffolding and machinery won't go. Even for everyday type bush clearing, having the harness gives a lot more safety, working on steep messy slopes for instance.

Agreed, its evil. If you define evil as the opposite of what normal traditional morality holds to be good. If you feel that traditional ethics and norms are evil, then I guess the NWO looks pretty good. At least the brochure does. The reality, not so much. I used to be for the downfall of western civilisation, nihilism, give it all back to the africans etc etc. Simple indoctrination. Gradually grew up and realised that prosperity, borders, ownership are good things. The whole globalist agenda stems from Thosophy, Madame Blavatsky, the Great White Lodge and all that stuff. The UN is the front for a bunch of loonie Theosophists. The last time they attempted to take over the west, they tried to do it by inoculating a new religion - they thought they had found the reincarnation of Jesus in India, a 9 year old peasant boy, Jiddu Krishnamurti. They groomed him to be the new age messiah, but when he came of age, he came out publicly and told everyone that he was NOT the messiah! (but he was not a naughty boy either, nice guy actually) Thist time they are trying the political rout, and Obama is their guy. Soon to fail also.

Yeah it was fairly hard, lifting half my weight on the downpull. I think it technically is RAD/Yo-yo. Noticed that's what the industrial rope access guys are using, with a backup second rope and travelling fall arrest gadget.

Just thought I'd put this out there, kind of amazing really - the action is at 1 minute in. [ame] [/ame]

Luxury...a walk in the park mate.....when I were a lad, we started at 3 in the morning, after walking barefoot to the site in knee deep snow, for ten miles, then we made a fire to warm the wood for a bigger fire to warm our hands so we could hold the saw - crosscut mind! No chainsaws in my day - then wed work twelve hours before breakfast, which was usually a squirrel, eaten raw because no time to cook it....and that's if we were lucky!!

I helped a guy drop his 6KW turbine one time to fix the brushes then pull it back up agin with a big tirfor. It was fracking huge! At peak, produced three times as much energy as he could use, so he'd dump the excess into heating a 10,000 lt water tank.

I have a couple of original and genuine floorboads from HMS Beagle captain's stateroom for sale - only asking £300 each, half of the seat of King Henry VIII personal earth closet (that's £700 no offers) and if you take the lot I'll throw in a splinter of the True Cross as well!

If Hillary has an "episode" we'll hear the howls of anguish and the cheering from across the pond, loud enough to wake us up so we can tune in.

I wonder if the length of the bar/number of teeth has any influence? More teeth = takes longer to bind up the sprocket = more possibility of running out of fibres and sustaining injury? Why would chain speed have any effect at all, does the chain actually cut some of the fibbers if its moving fast enough?

Yeah, why risk it? Give the old trousers to a friend who never heard of chainsaw protection, and show him/her some internet photos of injuries to frighten him into using them. :Edited: - hah! Just checked mine and they are class 1 as well! Looks like the auld piggy bank is due a hammering soon...
