as for the tape crack i dont use 1 , nothing a tape can do that a level and a few fingers crnt on the street lol, the said charge hand with his staff every few week his lab get sick of been asked were his staff is so when he finds it he snapps it and shows him it lol
 
Makes life so much easier get your base lift bang on level then stick and pinch rod the whole way up. Can't stand all the up a bit down a bit down. A marker pen holder on the belt job done
 
brilliant weapon of choice a marking stick. saves so much time. and more time saved = more square put up ;) another long forgotten piece of equipment every scaffolder should have in his bag is a 100ft length of lightline. lightline is just awesome!!!1

you guys dont know about the light line? its a long forgotten piece of equipment lol. not sure the exact name of it but its a rope. can be used for so many things. faster an easier to strike with, can be used to tie things, tie up dirty brickies :D, forming beamwork nearly everything :D

tg20? isnt tg20 the thai guide? o_O why do scaffolders need a holiday guide? ;)
 
lol a 100ft of inch rope ya mean lol how does rope come in to it when stricking ........ thats waht gardens are for marra flower bed are the best:D
 
i dont think its quite an inch thick. not normal rope and wheel rope. MUUCH smaller. its good for striking if ya know how to use it ;) no stress for anyone using the lightline ;) next time we use it i'll get a video of it for ya. you'll LOVE it. especially if your up top marra :D flower beds? arent they for pissing in? haha

Scaff89 let me explain it for you ., its a 10mm rope ,and you stick a butt on a standard with 2 clips ( as you do with a wheel ) then hang the light line over the butt , it is the fastest way of striking a high job and you dont kill your labourer. I have let 2 X 21s down manys a time with no problems , also great fro beam work , or putting long ladders in a job , 100 foot light line fits in your bag and you can carry it with you as part of your tool kit. Got me out of a lot of situations over the years , i struck a temporary roof years ago for DR and light lined down 3 unit beams bolted together to the ground , we had 14 rows of 3 on the ground from about 70 foot by lunch time with all the roof tubes struck as well , fast as fu ck ,when you get used to it the labourer cant untie the gear quick enough ;)
