The Bahco 2444 is the only exclusive Australian knife posted but the 2449 and Hultafors are as cheap as I’ve seen available in Australia.

I’ve owned the Hultafors Heavy Duty knife for a long time and its my favourite work knife since.

The Bahco 2444 is made by Mora in Sweden, the 2449 is made in Taiwan but all Bahco tools have a lifetime warranty. The wrecking knife states on the packaging you can use a hammer to hit the spine to cut into things. Also interestingly Snap-On owns Bahco and the knives come in “Snap-On Industrial Tools” packaging.

I have purchased the 2444 and 2449 but they haven’t arrived yet.

The 2444 is available here in NZ at Bunnings among others for as little as $8. I believe they are a rebranded Mora Companion F. Great knifes for the price.

Woolies has 4 packs of Energizer Lithium AA and AAA for $15. Usually $21, and I rarely find these on sale anywhere. Sale likely ends tomorrow (Tuesday) as new sales usually come out on Wednesdays.

Bought a set to keep spares in my truck.

They are a rebranded mora companion actually,u are correct!

Harvey Norman has Maglite 3D LED Flashlights for $20+ delivery (seems to be $10)

In the past I was keen on D cell torches but not nowdays as I prefer smaller torches iwth LiIOns. This may appear to some

This may be old news for some, but I just discovered that RS-Online offer free delivery for web orders.

Pretty much stuff-all, apart from some OSHPark boards, & components from RS.

I have to comment again about the service from RS-online; I had placed one order for a bunch of driver components, a couple of which were not in stock (listed as 3-4 days to get in).

They split the order, & EACH package (of which there were three) was sent via either TOLL or Couriers Sleaze, arriving within 1-2 days from being sent. I was not expecting a courier service for free delivery, especially on a few bucks worth of components!

Not a lot here either. Even the group buy lights that were cheap are getting more expensive every day.

The $25.00 US for this light showed on my bank account $34 something. The dollar is still slowly dropping. I wouldn't be surprised if it dropped a lot more.

I noticed my order of the A6 also came out to about $34 which highlighted how poor the Aussie dollar is at the moment. It’s been worse, but also better too. I tend not to buy any torches that are $US30+ for that reason. One exception is the Convoy X3 I purchased recently, this was thanks in part to a Lightscastle $15 credit I won in another thread.

I just bought 4 x 30Q batteries with MM's coupon from BG for $25.20 Aussie. I thought that was a good deal in todays market.

The wifes going to hit the roof with how much the BLF comp light build is costing when we have a big bill on the credit card from my US trip still to pay of.  

All my life the $AU fluctuates between US$0.60 and US$0.80 in normal times. This is the range where its meant to be, at times it can be a tad under US$0.50, but its rarely above US$0.90 (until recently). The reality now is not that the AU is doing badly, its actually the US$ is recovering. The reason we hit parity, even surpassed it wasnt due to an exceptionally strong $AU, it was largely due to a weak $US.

For your order 7977824, the coupon M4D4BLF used for the items 2xSKU136605, SKU151996,2xSKU071426 and SKU232544. You have bought the item SKU232544. It can’t use the coupon code.

Hope your kidnly understanding.

Best regards，

I'd suggest you point her to the thread linked above. They must of sold quite a few of these batteries with that coupon.

Yep did that. Also said that if they aren’t going to refund the difference to cancel the order

I bought one of the 30Q batteries using Martin’s code and his Aff link. No problems encountered with the correct discount price appearing. I just tried again and it comes up as $5.84 so the coupon is still active for SKU232544

4 of for 24.60 (US) - 5% for BLF

gives us after converting (http://coinmill.com/AUD_USD.html) AU$31.69 - ouch

I don’t have a zebra light to trade, but I do have a Nitecore EC25W brand new in the box. Also I dont have any 3400mah but I can throw in a AUD25 Spend anywhere coupon to buy a pair if you are interested?

Anyone interested in trading my SR Mini Intimidator for your Zebralight SC62W? Due to the value differences I’m happy if you throw in two 3400 cells to make up the difference. I have the box and whatever it came with; pouch, attack bezel etc.

I don’t have the SC62, but I do have the SC52, PM if that interests you at all
