Yeah, warranty wait times are always ridiculous with Milwaukee. I know people who have waited months to get stuff repaired or replaced,…

jamesorion commented on Dewalt Cordless Handheld Stick Vacuum Skin 18V XR - $159.20 (Was $189) + Delivery ($0 C&C/in-Store/OnePass) @ Bunnings
It's been this price on tools.com for more than a month now. They must have had too many people price beating it so decided to match.

You'd have greater losses going through a battery adaptor, so that makes sense. Might not be as noticeable if you are running lower powered…

Bought this back in March from Supercheap for $75. Good set, and case connects to TSTAK cases, and smaller Toughcases can attach to it.

I don't believe so. Wera sells "Impaktor" bits which are impact rated, though I've never used them so can't tell you if they are any good.

Wearing layers is better in most situations. If temps are very cold, as in below freezing, this on its own would not be sufficient.

I thought it was sold out, but looks like it just doesn't ship to the NT. Strange since it's shipped and sold by Amazon AU.

Looks like they are already sold out.
