"Haven't lost a pair yet and been going for over 15yrs, I always use a holster and if it's not in my hand it's in the holster. As far as spending money goes I think when something is used every day is it wrong to have something that's a pleasure to…"

Peter sellers replied to Sam Bainbridge's discussion Niwaki secateurs

Graham Taylor replied to Tim Bucknall's discussion Stihl blowers failing

"I really quite enjoy tinkering around with machinery and sorting them out.... how sad!! If you have to take things in to a dealer, some machinery just isn't economic to own and that might be the case with a lot of Stihl stuff. "
