Australia Based Deals / Info / Links / Discussion

Hey lads i seen this deal on Ebay so i bought one. Two sellers have the same item for around the same price, To me it seems suss but its cheap enough to buy and try. It does say save $30 so i will find out the hard way lol its a similiar design to the rest of the re-flow station on Ebay. It also says shipping from Sydney my shipping was like $6 to Sydney.

AIR GUN Desoldering Soldering REWORK SMD STATION 3 Nozzles CE HUAKO 858D -ST

That looks like a great deal.

There were some of these a while ago with a dodgy earth - might be a good idea to flip the lid & check it out prior to using it. :beer:

I just seen more under my listing on the sales page but when i search for them i can not find the links. I think maybe because its not a main brand like Yihua?

This one is $17.95 shipped. Now i feel ripped of lol. The one i bought does have reviews on it and they said the earth for the nozzle was just floating maybe i can screw it in place.

Any Aussie’s sub’d in this thread that’ll be modding the emitter in their GT to something a bit cooler?

Would love to get in on that action as the stock 4000k emitter will grind on me

I’m not sure if I’ll mod or not until I use the light. What were you planning on putting in?

Probably a NW XHP70.2 or a CW version of the stock emitter

I love what ThorFire are doing with their Australian Amazon store - the prices are good, the range has expanded since launch, and now they’re sharing discount codes.

All we need now is a discount code to bring the Q8 down to the Banggood discount price. :wink:

Yeah the Rep that has been in contact with me did mentiom that they are trying to get the Q8 in the aussie amazon store too. Fingers crossed it happens an we get a good coupon :wink:

I could have sworn I saw the Q8 in the Aussie store recently - I remember being a bit surprised by the price - but it’s not there now. Hopefully that means they’re almost ready to list it and they’re just working out how to give us an awesome price.

Either that or I just dreamed it.

The Q8 was in the Aus store for something like 24hrs and then vanished.

Thanks for the heads up DoNkEyConN.

Anyone have any idea where I can get a spacer for an S2+ triple build?

MTN sell them but postage to Aus is ridiculous and I can’t seem to find them anywhere else.

ask kiriba-ru in this thread, he might be able to help ya out.

I recently got a kit to me make make C8 a triple.

Hey mate cheap option is this. I am about to build a triple S2+ using this end capping i am going to fill mine for extra heat sinking. I will let you know how it goes.

Hey lads i bought some Isopropyl Alcohol from eBay for a good price. I bought the one from Sydney solvents but they raised their price back up i paid $13.50 with the 10% site wide deal.

This is even better you get 5L for $10 with free shipping. Isopropyl alcohol is great for electronics and things like cleaning LEDs. I use it after dedoming an LED to clean the surface and after soldering to clean up flux.

Hi Guys,

I would just like to say G’day to all of you from sunny/rainy/windy Perth. I’m very new on this forum.
I don’t know of any current Aussie deals except for the 10 lumen, cree clone, plastic torch with the expired AA battery that I got at Bunnings for $4.00….
Life just doesn’t get any better!
And BLF is a great forum to be part of and good to see all of you here.

Hey mate welcome to BLF lots and lots of Aussie on here as you have already noticed.

The thread is here incase you stumble across any deals feel free to post them up :smiley:
