  1. Hmm, this is a modern beat combo I'm not familiar with.
  2. That's really tempting. I usually shy away from the expensive jackets because I reckon they vary in rain resistance but all have approximately the same silky resistance.
  3. You could start an eBay shop.
  4. That's the old "hitting X with hammer £1, knowing where to draw X £999" story in action. Offer to sell him a refurbished cover for £50 ? Then he should come back next time the saw breaks.
  5. I like that, I could handle hearing that theme tune every time I climb. Much like I spring up like a ninja every time I put my Harken Ninja foot ascender on...
  6. Agree. I think we've had people on here trying in vain to source blades for JCB chippers too...
  7. I was always told the water will condense in the chimney and form mild acid , especially bad if you have brick chimney as it takes mortar out.
  8. One horizontal and one vertical feed roller too.
  9. That's getting close...
  10. That's because you use it for forestry not climbing, we've seen the pictures.
  11. Boring but reliable ...... 150 Never changed any plastic covers on it. Maybe it's a Toyota Auris.
  12. I've never had a Unicender in my hand but I believe they have a set of C shapes bit like this to make it midline attachable - so it's possible to not have this break, Petzl just didn't manage it.
  13. Ask logs and saws, he does Husqvarna saws. https://logsandsaws.co.uk/
  14. I just use biner, and the ring on saw strop. Ringing down a stem I don't pull it up and down very often so this doesn't upset me. Saw the ring, feather throttle to keep cutting in through in one. Leave that log where it is, saw half way to next ring and leave the saw there. Now push off top ring, step down on stem, move lanyard so you have room for another cut. Repeat.
  15. You don't need to convince me on the mini chipper, I bought an approximately 10 year old JoBeau M500 about 8 years ago for £3k. Blades, belts, bearings, little bit of weld, some yellow paint, still chips like a champ. I can see the attraction of cheap Chinese, I have a cheap stump grinder but the main reason that doesn't break very often is that I hardly use it.
