Title: Anybody dropped the trolley for a backpack
Post by: birdymiller on June 23, 2008, 08:10:59 pm

Been using my freedom trolley for nearly a month. Finding lugging it out of van, unreeling hose then reeling hose a bit of hastle. Think i might be better off with a backpack. Staying trad for most of my work just using wfp for big and awkward houses. Just wondered if anyone else had found backpacks easier to work with than a trolley.

if you find reeling in hose a hassle dont bother with a van mount coz all you will be doing is untangling hoses all day, so my advice woulod be only use a van mount on big work and a trolley for everthing else,if you still find it to much stick to trad and risk your life.
