"Seen them on Amazon, mixed reviews, some look of dubious quality, and many buyers seemed to hope it's equivalent to a roaring log fire. Whereas the heat emitted will be quite gentle"
"Like the sound of the heated pad.
Thanks "

"maybe a hot water bottle wrapped in cloth so claws dont burst it. Or a USB heated electrical pad run off a power tool battery with adaptor. Although only 5 Volts so imagine only partially effective "

"I would echo what some of the others have said. The 450 should be plenty for most work. The 430 is the same performance and a fair bit lighter, but doesn't have the electric start or adjustable tube so would depend on what is more important to you.…"
"I only ever use all Stihl stuff , apart from my mowers .
I use a 56's for everyday use , and a Br800 at the end of the year . A bit heavy for some people , but really powerful and makes short work of some bigger jobs .Was laughing the other week…"

"I use peltor FM radio ear protectors. Can get a bit sweaty in summer but always good to have radio 2 on to keep me company all day. "
"I've used a weibang 56 roller for last 3 years and so long as you keep the bag clean it works well in the wet. I don't see why the 48 model wouldn't be as good. It's also been very reliable with no issues so far. "
