Sandwiches and tae, no. Spare parts, tool box , yes! Could you not bring what you needed in the cab? A few tines and a roll of twine will be fairly rattling around in that or are you going planning on bringing oxy acy bottles and generator around with you? Overkill. You'd see sp crews with less

Ya can fit nothing in the massey cab tbh. Left her big enough to carry drums of oil or diesel if I needed to plus it can double up for other jobs with the lid removed. Nothing worse than finding something is just too small

It's not big enough Reggie! Should have been big enough for stakes, strainers, few rolls of hi-tensile wire etc etc. When I saw it first I thought you were making a cage to get up to clean gutters / roofing.

Well you may wear on the new loader.

Its big enough for my little bit. When we go fencing on the main patch we bring the teleporter with the 8ft bucket

Couldn't manage to weld it right. Something is up with the welder. Had it set to its lowest and still burnt through it

I can only speak for myself, but guntering and digital calipers is surely an oxymoron.

I think they're ok, they usually last until the next time they're on special offer. Big help is to take the battery out when you are not using it.

I find them fierce handy. I suppose I'm used to using one at work everyday. If you want to measure the diameter on a bearing, thread size, any small diameter really.

Lads,

This is the guntering page not the persision engineering site !!!

What's a bearing ???? if one bar fits into another and a bit of WD40
and that your bearing sorted no need for even a measuring tape.

It's actually fairly alright! I think it was lidl the one here came from could be aldi, is accurate but the battery life is pants as you'd expect really, need to get a new one in ours

Connemara Farmer

I've a calipers like that from one or other of them, I'd agree it's accurate, and that the battery is crap. Not the worst yoke you could buy.

Trust me,, a €10 calipers from Aldi won't be precision!

Well I checked it against my work one today and it was to within at least 0.02mm accuracy.

Precision is less than 1 Micron these days... 0.02 is a mile in engineering terms!

Ah jaysus...its around an 8th of an inch in my guntering shed

foxy farmer

As my father used to say
Precision is a big thing but its a small thing that makes it.
