The Bahco 2444 is the only exclusive Australian knife posted but the 2449 and Hultafors are as cheap as I’ve seen available in Australia.
I’ve owned the Hultafors Heavy Duty knife for a long time and its my favourite work knife since.
The Bahco 2444 is made by Mora in Sweden, the 2449 is made in Taiwan but all Bahco tools have a lifetime warranty. The wrecking knife states on the packaging you can use a hammer to hit the spine to cut into things. Also interestingly Snap-On owns Bahco and the knives come in “Snap-On Industrial Tools” packaging.
I have purchased the 2444 and 2449 but they haven’t arrived yet.
It's $5. I haven't got one myself, but it doesn't look too bad. Plus, it's powered by easy to find AA cells. The only downside is that I can't pick them up. Delivery cost (tried 2 of them at checkout) was $7.95. For me, it seems that ordering 5 maxes the delivery cost to $11.95.
With the delivery cost, it's $8.90 each (for 2).
No store has stock my side of town either.
Nice find
Looks a good deal, but closest to me where it’s available is a fair drive (15km). I don’t have the time to drive by this weekend.
The 2444 is available here in NZ at Bunnings among others for as little as $8. I believe they are a rebranded Mora Companion F. Great knifes for the price.
Woolies has 4 packs of Energizer Lithium AA and AAA for $15. Usually $21, and I rarely find these on sale anywhere. Sale likely ends tomorrow (Tuesday) as new sales usually come out on Wednesdays.
Bought a set to keep spares in my truck.
Thats a really good price, Bunnings in Aus doesn’t have any Bahco products.
They are a rebranded mora companion actually,u are correct!
Harvey Norman has Maglite 3D LED Flashlights for $20+ delivery (seems to be $10)
In the past I was keen on D cell torches but not nowdays as I prefer smaller torches iwth LiIOns. This may appear to some

This may be old news for some, but I just discovered that RS-Online offer free delivery for web orders.
Back on, $14.99 for 4 packs of AA, probably AAA too.
With our dollar being so weak now, what have you guys been buying? Everything “budget” is getting pushed up just that little bit to make it un-budget.
Pretty much stuff-all, apart from some OSHPark boards, & components from RS.
I have to comment again about the service from RS-online; I had placed one order for a bunch of driver components, a couple of which were not in stock (listed as 3-4 days to get in).
They split the order, & EACH package (of which there were three) was sent via either TOLL or Couriers Sleaze, arriving within 1-2 days from being sent. I was not expecting a courier service for free delivery, especially on a few bucks worth of components!
Not a lot here either. Even the group buy lights that were cheap are getting more expensive every day.
Couriers are odd, RS might have an arrangement where prices are a fixed annual fee. One of delivery clients get the shaft, while regular account holders can get very reasonable pricing.
Yea I’m sure they will have a contract with couriers. Although it’ll cost us $15 to send it, RS is pumping through hundreds of deliveries per day with them and have probably negotiated some miniscule cost.
I haven’t bought anything for a year or so! Just still browsing here and there though. Nothing really that exciting lately!
Only necessaties, such as the A6 GB!!
The $25.00 US for this light showed on my bank account $34 something. The dollar is still slowly dropping. I wouldn't be surprised if it dropped a lot more.
I noticed my order of the A6 also came out to about $34 which highlighted how poor the Aussie dollar is at the moment. It’s been worse, but also better too. I tend not to buy any torches that are $US30+ for that reason. One exception is the Convoy X3 I purchased recently, this was thanks in part to a Lightscastle $15 credit I won in another thread.
