I remember when i first started scaping. I was approached by a guy in a van selling cheap diamond blades. When he told me the price I couldn't get my money out quick enough. Sounded too good to be true..it was, the blades were about as useful as a blunt knife. Learnt a lesson there.

Using a blade meant for concrete will make it wear out quicker. There are a lot of factors involved in cutting with blades that need to be taken into account, speed, dry/wet cutting diamonds wearing to fast before the matrix wears etc: Always use a blade for it's purpose ie, soft cutting ( tarmac, green concrete. ) or hard cutting like stone, concrete etc: You will get a longer working life from them if used with the correct materials.

giles you are taking the peesh mate
I am talking unmarked pikey wagons and you know that
FTR the JCB blade went through15 M of 80mm of tarmac top and base in less than 10 minutes with very little blade wear
I do find that you can get good and bad blades even in the same batch from the same manufacturer
or maybe its my imagination?

this particular blade ,I am gonna spray it gold and hang it on the wall
cheers LLL

i often get a guy selling gloves. Seems genuine enough, has a landline number and an address, and the gloves are good. Â£10 for 12 pairs

I keep getting offered memory foam mattresses from eejits driving past. When working in a crappy area I have been offered power tools too.

Pikeys pick them up from retail seconds outlets and drive arround with a dodgy logo on their shirt pretending that the company has sent out to many with no invoice??? Don't buy from a van as they might do the old switcharooo! On laptops and power tools!

hopefully tomorrow will be ripoff on the 235m drive and paths we have been doing the last 3 weeks,might even get a chance to take some more pictures
was on the stihl today and used a whole 5 litres of juice,I dont count cuts but,reckon we marked and cut at least 400 all on curves
anyway while i was cutting i started thinking
and i realised it hasnt rained once during work hours in the last 3 weeks
sadly the spray from the stihl completely soaked my right leg and foot,partially compensating for hamstrings that feel as tight as a nun's
