I've tried to replace them three times (the puppies ate the tongue), but each time I go back to them as they are more confortable! I can't find any ladies chainsaw trousers either :( www.veytisou.com    Report

I can use the chainsaw, do DIY, throw logs about, and when the horse steps on my feet I don't notice :) For most uses steelies are there "just in case", however the only time (apart from me dropping things!) I've been really really glad of them is when some pony stamps on my feet and I only realise when I can't move! www.veytisou.com    Report
