I Was a bit off topic :oops: ours are all owned by the outfit.
As for chainsaws, you can buy a 14" for about £100, without a licence. Why hire one. Infact you don't need a licence to use one for your own benefit, only when doing it for an employer. More H&S stuff :roll: but in this case it's fair enough.

I don't think it is any more right to be able to buy one with no proof of training.
There is no such thing as a licence to use a chainsaw, Its a certificate of profesional competance. That can be for basic saw maintenance or all units up to Sectional dismantling. It is now not supposed to be possible to by a top handled chainsaw without proving you have the right CS unit on your ticket. I don't think it will be long before we see this for all saws.
For anyone thats in any doubt as to why pro's where all the ppe take a look at this video, http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ah-FmYnaIWw&feature=related imagine what that saw would do if you only had a pair of Levi's on!
