I’m interested in the aviation snips, very useful when ripping apart laptop battery packs.
The last cheap pair I got were rubbish.
Cheers.

Beat you to it!

Aldi again:

Looks like a 2x AA “LightWay” brand
“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.

A couple of my friends really like the above branded Aldi power tools, but not so much the blue ones. With the easy return policy it’s probably worth buying them to test and then return if they’re not torquey enough.

Yea you can not beat the price. You cant even buy an Ozito kit for this price. Plus Aldi have the 60 day return policy. I think you can buy cheap drills from Ikea no idea on the quality.
