Not specifically aiming it at cylinders, would of been a more bonus spruce up clean with regards to cylinders. I hammer them with the degreaser from work usually which works well enough. Would be mainly used for the likes of carbs and adblue dosing units etc. Had my eye on a 3L 100w heated one, does that sound more likely then do ya think?

First to the bin..... last away! [emoji38]

Ultrasonic cleaners, used to aid the cleaning of parts.... anyone got any good recommendations? Looking at buying one, mainly for cleaning small intricate parts etc but possibly one big enough to take a chainsaw cylinder, 6L - 8L maybe? Anyone got any advice or tips?

I Totally agree we should all stand back and look, and make a written note of the task (probably an invoice for you working in the public eye, which surely should include a job description to be carried out? In my line of work its a job card) i didnt suggest otherwise?! I simply said my opinion on it is that for all the added extras they keep giving us, in ALL industries, it does make you take your eye off the ball. I’m not gona argue with you on it, its just MY opinion. And as MattyF says, a lot of it is unnecessary paperwork to justify and cover your ass and other peoples. BUT the positive of it, as you suggest, is at least there is a written record of your job happenings if there are any come backs. I also disagree that filling in RA or MS makes you all “a team” and makes you “all sing from the same hymn sheet” and makes sure everyone has “understood” the job at hand. It only takes one noncompliant worker to create a severe incident / accident. Otherwise the words and meanings for accident / incident wouldnt exist in the english language and dictionary with the described meanings they have. My conclusion is.... By using RA and MS you are more likely to LOWER the risk of a incident / accident but you WILL NOT prevent a accident by using them. (Only my opinion of course... again ?)

You gun men blow my mind! [emoji854] i’m off to fit some brakes on a DAF [emoji34]

Not knocking it in the whole sense, just that they keep adding more and more legislation making it harder and harder to do the job. Some stand back and take stock of the situation is good and valid in my opinion for any task, being aware does save lives, but too much over thinking and worrying whether you’ve done it by the book, this way or that way..... that creates doubt and thats when mistakes and accidents occur.

Fair mix, cheeky looking fella tho! Stunning surroundings [emoji106][emoji108] Having a few probs with our boxer at min, shes 9 1/2 and got a bloody eye ulcer [emoji849] had it debrided (if thats how ya say it) on wednesday gone, just hope it clears up. Think Westy’s heads in the “wolds” [emoji23]

Whats breed peds? Smart picture too!

Could think of stronger words for him!

Bet you have your hands full with your beagle [emoji15][emoji15]

Do you not feel sometimes that by fully “working to the letter of law” (or your company) makes you take the eye off the ball and create mistakes. We’re hammered by H&S and RA and MS at work, and a lot of the time i feel it creates more hazards and near misses / unsafe acts, than it would if you were to just, ordinary stand back, whey up, carry out, common sense approach would do.

Be neater than mine would be, i’d be going round and round the tree trying to get a cut equally opposite, it’d end up looking like a spiralizer ?

A farmer i knew had his sheep worried and attacked regular! He tried going to the police etc for help but they were no help. In the end he tied the dead sheep to the swing gate on the public footpath which went through his land. This sparked a huge kick off from local everyday nature walkers, to dog walkers, to sight seeing walkers etc. It eventually made it to the papers if i remember rightly (i’ll try find the article) which is where he could finally have his say on what happens when irresponsible dog owners do as they please. Things quietened down after that.

I got it in the end ??‍♂️

Get ya!!!! Was over thinking what hairyonyourchest said in his post. And obviously as mark said, your spool is soon full.... release use other etc yada yada yada [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] i had one ratchet two straps as an image with me stood in the middle scratching my ass!! ??‍♂️[emoji23]

I get the ratcheting bit obviously, but i meant how do you physically attach the two traps to one ratchet mech? You’ll have to forgive me as i’m not from a tree working background so your ratchet mech’s may differ, but the type i have in mind are the load restraint type ratchet mech. Like below. I may be over thinking this?!
