Haha it was a bit of a guess, I went there once as a boy but see them when you drive up the A46 to Evesham and the topography seemed to match. Looks nice

Lovely 360degree view but a fair effort with a toddler and a baby.

We are up looking around between Malvern and leominster as considering a move next year

Not a job but it came in the post today- leatherman supertool 300, warranty replacement for my supertool.
Fantastic service- no quibble replacement, sent in less than a week after I posted mine too, recorded delivery!
Back on my belt for tomorrow's job!

Got the surge stopped using it for a year as holster broke so was using a spyderco. Bought a new scabbard used multiple time a day again now. Expensive but worth it

Incredibly useful but I hate the holsters and have a Leatherman size hole in several trousers where the sharp edges rub through. Also got fed up having to track it down when people borrow it as they can never remember there own knife. Now have a folding Stanley knife that I found and repaired. I don't have to worry about it going missing.

I've got the signal but I darent use it as I'd loose it... So i tend to keep "could maybe possibly be not worn in public" type folder in pocket. Still can't get over how versatile a solid 3in ish locking blade is. Milwaukee hard-line is tough AF and a favourite for the money ATM.

Bought the leather holster this time hopefully it'll last a few years

Losing the spoil/concrete in this to surface stope

Had my Bobcat dealer out yesterday to warranty repair the E10. Absolutely chucking it down so had to get the 8 foot umbrella out. The keypad died early in the year, at the same time as a VERY flat battery. Not sure which one caused the other, but a long recharge cycle sorted the battery, and the keypad temporarily replaced with a keyed ignition barrel. Bloody keypad worked again once yesterday when we plugged it back in. Some intermittant fault on it. New one fitted, but apparently £700 so if it fails out of warranty then I'll be fitting a key. Chatting about prices and brand new E10z with quick hitch and 3 buckets is running at 18.6K + vat now. I was savage when I bought mine as it had jumped from 14K to 15K !
Talking of prices, might be selling my IW GD84 trailer along with the Spyder crane. Priced a new one and it's a 53% increase since spring 2020 when I bought it. I don't really want to sell it, but it makes the deal work. Will probably upgrade to the GH1054BT rather than replacing like for like. Still can't decide between LED and trad lighting though.

Led vs bulb, all I know is the full rear combination unit is only £28 to replace… can’t imagine the led version is near that?

 

[doobin]

LED is much better. Way brighter and works with ‘questionable’ old truck wiring.

I think the led units are around £40 to replace, not daft money really.

That’s not bad! So why is it like a £350 option then?!!
The side marker lights on my standard one are all led bulbs anyway…

*Just had a look and they have changed prices lately, some only seem to be a £80 option for led lights! They may as well put LED on everything as standard

 

[pettsy]

Is it still the case some vehicles dont like full led equipped trailers. Seem to remember discovery 3/4 allthough not had it happen with mine.

 

[Monkeybusiness]

My guesstimate wasn’t bad!
