Its all about the profit, and peeps that dont read the small print properly :oops:. J

Sorry! "Buy"!!!! If I were you I'd lie down until I felt better!!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Last time, this tip was with carpet! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Different makes charge more as their kit is betterer. Price matching to a price point or competitor sometimes. Either was its betterer for the environment if peeps use one charger and set of batteries across multiple tools.

Still doesn't account for why they sell the stuff with no batt or charger for the same money as other companies sell the whole kit. But yes, I too have stuff where one charger and batts powers more'n one thing.

Be easier driving up on the kerb and doing one side/end at a time :)

Morning all, tis the misses birthday today so an afternoon meal will be on the cards. We are going to a friends house tonight for drinks. Im off out to fit my propshafts whilst ive got an hour to myself. Then I suppose I should go n buy a noo...

Buying the origional LR spec pas fluid for a FL2 ain't easy. Fuchs titan chf 202 is the same fing. Its what I use. The red you have in needs removed or you'll get problems. Change the reservour at the same time. Its got a fixed filter in the...

Hi ya WL, hope all is well andthe new job suits. :)

Aloe Vera for you then. Morning folks, watched the storm last night and feeling a bit sleepy today for it. Food shopping later 😑

Morning All. :D A bit of crash-bang-wallop from the skies at midnight, cool & damp now. :) No plans ATM for today. I really did get burnt on the cycle ride yesterday. :( Down a bit more on the diet, so I shall keep going. :) Have a good day! :D

Yer drive off the ramps thinking I'll just go for a test run & wipe out all the neebs fences n hedges 🤣 🤣

Dropped my mobile phone today & the screen is goosed, its has had so many repairs tis like triggers broom but this time I think I'll buy a new one.

Tie the rope to the rear of the car so when you drive off,the ramps will follow. Saves walking too far carrying them back to the garage

Theres always one show off int there. 🤣 🤣

I just drive over the pit :p. J

Tip of the week...... You need 2 lengths of rope...tie one end to the ramp & lay the rope out the full length of the motor and drive over the rope, the weight of the motor on the rope stops it sliding away. :)

Fing is today everybody has elecy powered stuff so may already have batteries for that brand, which is why they now do them with/without batteries and chargers. J

No that's far too "butch & masculine" ;)

Stihl are a sleekit bunch. They sell the machine but all the other bits are extras. Eg: you buy a chainsaw you get the actual machine but the guide bar and chain have to be bought separately..expensive way to buy kit. (Maybe still got a sad on...

Off to Lavaur tomoz for the show "Rock and Cars" which is always fun. Bizarrely the frogs can't get enough of yank wheels. Good music from the 50s and 60s, booze, food... should be good. Then Sunday the Round Table are doing a thing up at the...

Boughted a noo electric hand shears for grass and bushes, like the Stihl thing. You had to be careful, as many on display, although all costing much the same, didn't come with batt and charger. :mad: Looks like this a noo "thing" with batt...

Up at 6 a.m. this morn to take W to A&E. She tripped and fell while we bimbled around Castres last week before lunch. Of course she fell cos of her dodgy foot, the paralysed one and twisted it or summat. We carried on and once home after the...

Hot Hot Hot here today in Wimblowdriver Land. Put me sun parasol up and had a few beers on me patio. Bit of bird watching with me bins (no not that sort), was watching a buzzard high in the sky and spotted the first returning swifts. Summer is...

...that a very enjoyable trike ride was had. Only 10 miles but the sun was blistering hot and the breeze was warm. Avg. Speed a mere 12.8MPH with a bit of assist. Smashing!

Daily Landy. Today the trial of Evoque driver Joe Public. At Thruxton Spollox Crown Court. Court 12 Justice John Landy. Mr Joe Public, seen here flanked by prison officers from HMP Landy. Court Artist John Oakes Landy nursery service with chalk.

Not quite, but they is very, very flat. 🐬🐬

Flippin ot . Luckily the drier on the compressor in banjaxed so the air guns spray water ⛲

TBH I have never had much luck with drivin onto them, so I tend to jack the vehicle up and put the ramps under them, or use axle stands. I'd have the same problem with W's Pluriel.
