Thread: Some thoughts on gear companies.

That clogger gear is good, I have Stihl PPE simply cause I got it cheap and secondhand haha. Hear that about the big saws, a lot of horsepower pulls the string straight through. The sleeper for chap defeat are the little battery jobbies. The torque of DC electric will start the strands moving and pull the strands straight through the clutch.

Agree with the sales model thing though, profit factors are one thing but some of the business model costs and fixed overheads that these businesses are trying to operate under are just predatory. Some of the malls put their sqm rate for shop floor space up by 200% in the last few years and then started trying to clobber 20% of turnover figures on top of sqm rental rates! True to on the costs to land shipments into NZ, we get one or two containers a year - Walmart and Basspro level stores will order tens of 20ft shipping containers of just that one model of a product. Literally one product which they then repack into container loads for each shopsite at their main distribution wharehouses...
