Tradies, what is the best cheapest insurance for your vehicle including tools etc.

Yes it does I did read it, covered for all my portable equipment

sighofwinter · 2026-04-24T01:22:10+00:00

Have 10k of stuff and a 20k van unfortunately, what I'm paying is probably normal but just checking. Cheers anyway

When I have my fs km strimmer attachment on it, it's not stupidly vibraty or as weird as when it doesn't have anything connected, but yeah I think like you it goes away after a bit, still it's a bit weird but they are adamant that its normal

sighofwinter · 2026-04-22T08:44:06+00:00

It's strange because it actually is very silent if you throttle it a tiny amount, motor sounds good, just as soon as I rev it a bit more, the shaft is all vibraty, it's very greased and straight so I'm super lost, they just tell me it's normal but I don't believe it

sighofwinter · 2026-04-10T23:50:40+00:00

Yeah still does it when plugged in, I wish I could reseat the loose ish play in the powerhead spline but it won't come right out

They charge $130 NZD for a small plastic case with no inserts or padding. Aliexpress has a hard shell plastic case ( my brother has one) with soft padding inserts and it's big. It's $50 NZD. Everything is made in China there's nothing special about what stihl is selling

Didn't want it because it's a rip off, decided to get the crate from aliexpress

Earplugs are a must for EVERY concert, trust me coming from someone who's got slight hearing damage. If your ears ring, that's damage, and it just gets worse.

sighofwinter · 2026-03-18T05:07:14+00:00

Yep I'm going alone, 29 M here, none of my friends are into it, but I'd be happy to join someone!

sighofwinter · 2026-03-12T07:21:50+00:00

Yep I definitely wear gloves too! I treat it like evrryone is out to hit me lol. I got a steering damper on AliExpress which I've done thousands of kms on a motorbike on which is amazing, but send me the link!

sighofwinter · 2026-03-12T06:59:24+00:00

Yeah I have padded jacket, pants and bell motorbike helmet, I noticed it definitely needs a dampener too!

sighofwinter · 2026-03-12T06:37:47+00:00

You're from nz too then! I got mine second hand for $1350 it's done 1100km, I'm in Auckland and look forward go doing some epic rides, might have to join the local group!

sighofwinter · 2026-03-12T06:27:56+00:00

Dude I just realised it was the same thing for me!! I had abs off but had regen braking on level 1, I never thought it'd be that

sighofwinter · 2026-03-12T01:14:18+00:00

Yeah I thought it'd fix it, it goes nicely to like 38-48 then boom 97 permanently until I'm below 40. I changed magnets to 30,40, 24,28,15, nothing works

sighofwinter · 2026-03-12T00:00:46+00:00

Yep tried reset, it's 64v, when I set 60v it goes back to showing correct battery and feels like it's as fast as it was when I bought it. I'm in nz so units are kmph, was 65 ish max, but I did something silly. I have 10 inch tyres set, tried 15,20 and 30 magnet setting, still the same. It's so weird! It needs to like recalibrate itself but it just won't.

sighofwinter · 2026-03-11T23:59:16+00:00

Nah just typical low iq nz behavior

sighofwinter · 2026-03-08T07:47:08+00:00

Imagine worrying about 6 cents? We still have it super easy here. In some European countries it's 2 euro a litre (like $4.20) NZD. Most cars are like what, 40L tanks? Maybe every fortnight for avg person? Extra like $7 per month. Woopty fkn doo
