Wow what a collection you got. That is like 20k lumen

Aldi, next Saturday, have a BBQ light with about a dozen little LEDS, run from a triple AAA pack, for $19.99.

I bought one last year for the shed, it has magnetic feet and works OK with an 18500.

ThruNite TN12 - $22.95

I am currently clearing new old stock, more flashlights will be added for sale over the next few days.

Not torch related,
Aldi have Taiwanese torque wrenches for $20.
The label mentions metric.
Torque wrenches are normally over $100, the cheapest that I’ve recently seen (and bought) was $58.

I'm looking for a deal. A petrol inverter generator around 3KVA with remote start if anyone has one or can recommend one. I'd prefer Melbourne area if possible.

Hobby King soldering iron shipped to Australia with the cheapest shipping is $44.51. Soldering iron itself is $16.51. its the cheapest I’ve seen it. I’ve been using one for a couple of years now with a large chisel tip and wouldn’t swap it for quids.

Aldi Saturday March 5th
Heavy Duty Led Torch
$19.99
Batteries included…
The paper catalogue shows batteries that look like 3 CR123s.

This *might *make a bargain laptop battery pull ……

Not sure if people already knew this or not, but after having much trouble finding decent torches in camping stores etc. I have found that Jaycar Electronics actually have some decent ones (from what I can tell).

190 Lumen CREE LED Powered Torch with Adjustable Lens $14.95
(uses 3 x AAA’s)

370 Lumen LED Torch with Adjustable Beam and Samsung LED $29.95
(with l-ion battery and recharges via usb)

480 Lumen 5W CREE® LED Torch $34.95
(uses 3 x AAA’s)

700LM Rechargeable Cree XML LED Torch $64.95
(with l-ion battery and charger)

1500 Lumen 3 x CREE XM-L Rechargeable Torch $119.00
(with 2 x l-ion batteries and charger)

You can get much better stuff from online au stores like britenite, or the cheaper hk sites.

Oh ok, I had wondered how good they actually were. Cheers for the heads up. :slight_smile:
Any way to get any discount from liteshop? I’ve found hkequipment, on ebay and the site, but they are only like $5 cheaper, in which case I’d rather just get them from an official Australian dealer in case anything goes wrong.
I’m after a couple of ThruNite TN4A HI’s
Cheers

With Dick Smith closing down they have some really good prices on NiMh cells, 60-80% off. Unfortunately all the Eneloop and Fujitsu cells were long gone at the Mentone store.

An 8 pack of Eneloop Tones was $8.00, and the Eneloop Family Pack with charger was $12.00 :open_mouth:

Mentone did have a lot of the DS branded LSD NiMh in AAA, AA, C and D. I grabbed a 4 pack of the D cells to have a play with, I don’t have a lot of faith in them at only 6000mAh, but at $2.5 a cell they’re worth trying in the stock 3xD mag.

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.
