Australia Based Deals / Info / Links / Discussion

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)

I am after a Makita belt sander and reciprocating saw. Also an angle grinder i was looking at getting a metabo if any one sees any deals or even second hand let me lads please!

Hey lads another day and another deal! $5 LEDs @ Aldi!

Aldi have LED light bulbs in all different tints from 6500k-3000k.

Also different outputs from like 7-12 watts i think. Plus both the base types Edison and Bayonet types. 600-1100 lumens depending on wattage and tint.

You can get them in dimmable and none dimmable

I just bought a 3000k 12 watt bulb its like 950 lumen output cost me $5 so cheap! A bulb like this would have been $12-$14 dollars at Woolies or Coles. Just a few weeks ago i bought a Phillips bulb 7w for $5.50 it was like half price.

All the different wattage’s and output and tints are all the same price $5 so its a good deal i will buy some more if i can. Wasn’t many left today and the deal only just started.

They are a good build quality the covers seems to be glass and not plastic like other brands. They have good heat sinking i am yet to take one apart to check it out i only bought one because not many left. If i can buy more i will tear it down.

The brand is Brilliant i looked them they work out of Melbourne and sell to other jobs like Bunnings and JohnRturks

Aldi again:

“5W CREE LED chip with 160 lumen light output and a light range up to 130m”

also
LED pen light, 3 x AAA

You know I’m going to walk in there with the intention of purchasing one to check it out and walk out with nothing. :slight_smile:

Hi
Just my opinion but I bought the 2xAA zoomie last year from Aldi…it’s not worth the $14

You’re probably right Ragsy!

I’ll most likely do the same as MRsDNF too.

Yea i seen the torches but thought they would be duds so i left it out.

Bunnings is actually price matching Aldi on there sale items.

It would appear that Bunnings is trying to push Craftright and Trojan as a medium quality tool now. I have to buy bolt cutters and a mallet. Then i will pay Ragsy a visit lol Sounds kinky right? :stuck_out_tongue:

Crafright 250mm Straight Cut Aviation Snips $4.98

190mm Diagonal Pliers (No name) $4

Hi there Chris

Thankfully I have every confidence in my hard head over your mallet !

A lot of Bosch Li-Ion cordless drill and impact driver combos on ebay today.
Search for Bosch clpk251-181
Starting at $50, they retail around $290…

.

Thanks!

Got a couple of these for a good price - they seem to be topping out around $135AU

Do you trust the seller? They all say only used once?

The ones I found were from the UK. Is that what your looking at?

Yep, seller is from UK, but item posts from China.

Just a heads up - use the code “PLENTY” at checkout for an additional 10% off :wink:

Sorry about the possible bum steer:
The ebay vendor selling those “Bosch Li-Ion cordless drill and impact driver combos”
is “no longer registered on ebay”.
I wonder if he’s done a runner.

15 more days of Paypal protection…

It’s tempting to buy the Aldi version on sale 26 August:

At least I’ll actually get something for my trouble.

The Aldi one is fairly low power as in torque. How much can you spend? You cant really beat the price and warranty.

They had the soldering iron on special the week my store heaps left so i am waiting for them to drop the prices hopefully soon.
