Stihl Motomix fuel
I've always been sceptical about using this fuel as I just reckoned it a waste of money at 3x the price at the pumps. Anyway, read you can leave it in machines for years with no problem and having some tools that just get used once a year at the most, thought I'd give it a go. Drained the old fuel out of my MS260 chainsaw which hadn't been used for 12 months at least............... refilled with Motomix............. started on the 4th pull. This would normally prove a nightmare with much…

Bahco tools vs Chinese?
Well it's that time of year for some serious machine fettling.The shortcomings in our tool collection have once again brought us to a halt with some jobs, where did those Whitworth spanners come from!? Like most people our tool kits have been built up over the last 40 years and made up of hand me downs, odd sockets and spanners many of dubious quality.Anyway have more or less decided to buy middling range socket set and combination spanners from Bahco ( owned by Snap On) all in one case as…

Season's greetings 🎄🎅🏼
Dear Juicers, It's that time of year again (already), finishing off little jobs, last minute present runs... before winding down for the holidays. Christmas is always a favorite in our household, my Dad used to love it, and would keep the Christmas magic alive even when we were grown adults. I'm sure he would agree with me when I say that I hope everybody is able to take some deserved time off to enjoy being with their family and friends, as well as a well deserved rest. I would also like…

This works well
I have a couple of tennis courts to keep free of moss - both attract it like magnets !My old right arm was having severe difficulty keeping up with the pumping on the 20litre CPG knapsack sprayer. I did a bit of googling and came across this from Screwfix. Wow... its fantastic, all the CPG nozzles fit (you have to use a bit of inginuity... and a double rubber washer at the business end) - ithe battery lasts fine, and its cheap. The only negative is that its now the 4th battery charger I have…

Van security
Wondered what others are using in the way of physical, not electronic or technological security devices. We are only concerned with overnight security to deter the the vehicle being stolen and the serious consequences of a complete van and contents going.Vans are kept in a locked compound with Stoplock pro elite steering locks and yes I know that thieves will just cut the steering wheel so looking at pedal locks, bought one of the market leaders with a 5yr lock guarantee and the lock failed in…

Quoting yearly and billing monthly for domestic clients?
Hey all, just completing my 3rd year as a gardener and have benefited from lots of great advice here in the forums so i've finally paid for premium to get full benefits of the forum! I’ve just dropped 3 days private estate work a week year round due to personal circumstances but also because there was long travel distances to site and a ceiling on wages. So this leaves me with my domestic clients and some commercial client that i’ve built up over the last 3 years - with an urgent need to…
