Steel Blue, mongrel, cat is there much difference between them all?
I know that everyone says that they want a comfortable boot, but I really do mean it.

I have Blundstones, cost around 200 and the most comfortable boots I have ever had.

I had steel blues and mongrels, both were comfy but did not last long.
I have found Oliver's to be the best by far.

I want to buy a Makita 2x18v brushless U-handle whippersnipper & 18v brushless 250mm chainsaw (I have other makita stuff).
Update: Just ordered the saw, $349. Woo I want to carry in my backpack on the bike and clear tracks.

Cheers gents.
I dropped in to my local workwear today. The had all the named brands. I've had Oliver, redback and Blundstone in the past and found them all to be good. I took the reps advice and tired something different. Steel Blue. Will see how they go.

Dont stress about impact sockets, any good quality six sided ones will do. Dont use the 12 sided ones and always wear eye protection or look away.

The 12 sided ones are more likely to damage the nut if any wear on either nut or socket is present a poor quality 6 sided socket will still break as easily as a 12 sided one

Haha The big one on top is marginally best power wise but you would like it too much and I would never see it again!
Buy one from Bunnings and if you dont like it repackage it and return it! Works for me
