    Chainsaws?

    I agree that you would do it like that every time ideally, but occasionally you have no choice (other than walking away, which is often the right call). If space is tight sometimes you are cutting with the bar in relatively close proximity to your body. Certainly when climbing..... When putting...

    Chainsaws?

    :D:D:D:D If you are cutting something standing vertical, and you are cutting it between zero and 3 ft from the ground it must by definition be near your legs, surely...... Unless you are standing on your head:unsure::unsure::unsure:

    Chainsaws?

    That wikipedia article is at best misleading. It refers to " models also incorporate a link between the top handle and the chain brake trigger, applying the brake if the saw's bar is forced suddenly upwards. This is known as an "inertia" chainbrake and will allow activation of the chainbrake...

    Chainsaws?

    Again not quite😁 The paddle on the chain brake lever in front of the top handle is really only there to enable deactivation of the chain brake.

You are welcome to look at the unused one, but the only thing that may be a problem is that it's 3 phase. As you are in Warwickshire you can't be too...

    Laser Measure - which one to buy?

    I have a Leica Disto, can't remember the model off the top of my head but it was around the £250 mark. I also use professionally a Leica Total Station that was nearer £25,000. Up to about 50 metres there is no discernible difference in their accuracy. The Disto is great indoors but as others...

    Does Builder need permission to connect new house to sewer on my land?

    If the sewer was adopted by the authority in 2011 as many previously private sewers were, the matter rests with them, and they would almost undoubtedly have contacted the OP. If the developer is simply chancing it, which seems possible, simply don't allow them onto the land.
