I recently purchased two Dick Smith alkaline carry case containing 14xAAAs, 12xAAs, 4xCs, 4x Ds for $5.50 (originally over $40). I would have paid the reduced price just for the battery case. Grab them whilst you still can!!
I didn’t see any of those, only the smaller pack with 6xAA, 6xAAA, 2xC and 1xD for $2.60. I was tempted but couldn’t see any point in a case with a spot for 1 D cell.
If I happen to be driving past a different store I might have a look.
yea i went up the coast fishing and checked a few dickies found some eneloops but i paid $13 for the 8 pack chocolate AAA and i got as family pack for $15 i posted it on ozbargain…
Nice work with scoring the family pack.
G’day Aussies!
I just got an Xtar VC4 charger, and it doesn’t come with an Australian plug! Just a USB to power cable.
Sooooooo…questions!
1. Input for the VC4 says DC 5.0V 2.1A…does that mean I can use an iPhone/iPad power adaptor?
2. If not, can you guys recommend a good one for me? One that preferably won’t burn my house down when I go out hahaha….
Thanks guys!
G'Day lionheart_2281, 
Yes, you can use your iPhone/iPad power adaptor. 
Also if you need more ports, this one is Very Good:

There’s some variation with the Apple phone and ipad chargers. I don’t know where it begin and ends, but check the charger itself. Some only supply 1a (I think aimed at older iphones) and some 2.1a (for newer iphones and ipads).
The power supply from the Apple chargers in general is excellent and the current is very clean, with a multitude of safety features built-in. http://www.righto.com/2014/05/a-look-inside-ipad-chargers-pricey.html
Thanks guys, yeah I should have mentioned it has to deliver 2.1A as a minimum. I’ll have to check my Apple chargers to see what they deliver. I also thought Apple might have had some kind of restriction or coding somehow on their adaptors to stop it working with other electronics.

Not light related and I’m unsure when it ends but $299 bandsaw selling for $129.
Apparently price matching Aldi on a bandsaw they have but this one has a stronger motor and 2 years warranty.
Not too many left - my local stores out after I got mine.
Bunnings do their prices different for different areas too - on special afaik in NSW and Victoria only.
Hey guys this is a good deal i think if you are looking for a drill. My Ryobi is still good but i have been looking for an impact driver but i also want a multi tool thing… so either i will buy this pack or buy the Triton XT pack! Might i add i need a reciprocating saw to cut branches but i think a mains powered one would be better. So either a second drill or a impact driver to use when i am building and moding lights.
This is a good deal!
Masters Home Improvement (half price)
Cheap and nasty but would do the job i need it for!

You would need an Apple 12W USB Power Adapter which should provide the 2.1A. Not the 5W, only 1A.
The older 10W will provide 2A which may be OK.

Cheers, bought 2 packs of the Pro AAA’s
Are these the Japanese FDK Eneloops or the inferior Chinese version?
Their pics show Capacity Retention: 65% which AFAIK indicates they are the China manufactured Eneloops (the Japanese are 70%).

Didn’t have a non anodized BLF A6 yet so I bought this one:
Cheapest I’ve seen it, under $25AUD
Alrighty lads seeing as so many of yous do metal work. Plus mods and other hobbies check out these deals.
I just bought one of these today Ryobi 370W Bench Grinder / Sande to add to my Ozito bench grinder. I asked the lady why they are on special and she didn’t know. Bunnings just got rid of the Mcculloch line so maybe they will reshape the Ryobi range. The Mcculloch line trimmer and blow and chainsaw where half price but they where sold out when i went.
Ryobi 370W Bench Grinder / Sander ($100 Half price usually $200)

Ryobi 370W Belt and Disc Sander ($129 usually $249) I was eyeing this out but the grinder seemed to good to miss.
