  1. I've got the same issue with a cold wall/ceiling with condensation. We are about to insulate with kingspan under current ceiling/wall and overboard. Don't think we will miss the 4 inches of room and should solve the cold spots.
  2. I think if you manage to cause enough bother with the Ryobi lopper on a stick to get the hse involved you shouldn't be allowed to dress yourself.
  3. Got sick of the pole loppers. Made a hybrid out of a knacked Stihl hedge cutter and a Ryobi battery lopper. Works great.
  4. We've got a ldv v80. It's been ok for the money but only because it was cheap. parts backup is a nightmare. 3 weeks to get a clutch kit in dealers
  5. Just use rape seed oil straight from asda
  6. 10/30 mineral or semi synth in every bit of machinery I've got
  7. Have you tried forest and arb? Always good for echo gear for me
  8. Got the rock machinery grinder. Works well. Teeth are ok. Can be resharpened quite afew times but are £85 a set. Bits do fall of it occasionally but easy fixed. Had to replace a clutch and bearings totalling £150 in a year of hard graft. Briggs engine should last id have thought.
  9. Got a Ryobi impact driver, drill, grinder, and impact wrench. All take the same batteries and you can get cheap batteries off eBay for them. The impact driver is 8 plus years old has been absolutely hammered and has been faultless.
  10. Lovely to use but I've had all the issues listed above. Drive cog wearing, gears throw the grease off dead quick and get noisy. Couldn't go back to petrol for fine work though. Not worth fixing when they break, £150 to fix or £280 for a new one.
  11. Bars are crap, chains are usually ok but the odd cutter is so hard it's unsharpenable. Like file won't tough it get it on the bench grinder hard.
  12. 100 percent mate. Never managed to use more than 2, 5l cans in a day. That's with it running non stop.
  13. The 18hp Briggs and stratton on our cs100 uses closer to 1.5/2l hour. Will fill a truck in acouple hours.
  14. What sort of age is your machine? I take it they’re going to fix it.
