jamesorion commented on Dewalt 150 Piece Tough grip Screwdriving Bit Set $79.99 Delivered @ Costco Online (Membership Required)
Bought this back in March from Supercheap for $75. Good set, and case connects to TSTAK cases, and smaller Toughcases can attach to it.
jamesorion replied to Abbi on Milwaukee Fastback Utility Knife Set - 2 Piece $19.95 (RRP $34.95) + Delivery @ Total Tools
Probably because Total Tools has had them on clearance at this price for a long time. I tried a couple of months ago to grab this deal, but…
jamesorion commented on Dewalt Oscillating Multi-Tool - DCS356N-XJ $186.95 Delivered @ Amazon US via AU
The 12v version is available at Supercheap for $199 with free battery redemption. From what I gather online, most who have used both prefer…
You can save $70 by getting the "20v" sander from the States as opposed to the on "18v" one you have listed. They're the same tool, just a…
jamesorion replied to JURBA on Bosch GST18V-50N 18V Brushless Top-Handle Jig Saw (Bare Tool) $180.28 Delivered @ Amazon US via AU
Generally people prefer the barrel grip for cutting circles and greater control in general. It's a very subjective thing, though. I've only…
jamesorion commented on Bosch Blue Professional Rivet Gun Combo Kit GRG18V-16 & 2x18v 5.0ah Battery & Charger & Case $664.05 Delivered @ Sydney Tools
Still available and you currently get $100 in bonus points as well.
jamesorion replied to KingUltra on [Prime] Wera 5057434001 Bit-Check BC 30 Metal 1, 30 Pieces $21.72 Delivered @ Amazon UK via AU
Yeah, a bit overpriced if you ask me. I have mostly Dewalt bits, but have some Milwaukee and Bosch bits as well. I use them every day. All…
jamesorion replied to KingUltra on [Prime] Wera 5057434001 Bit-Check BC 30 Metal 1, 30 Pieces $21.72 Delivered @ Amazon UK via AU
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.
jamesorion replied to Clain on Milwaukee Axis 12V Heated Jacket Skin Only $119 (Was $197.51) Delivered + Redeem Bonus 2Ah Battery @ Sydney Tools
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.
jamesorion commented on Wera 8005 Zyklop Mini 2 Ratchet, 107mm Length $43.19 (52% off) + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon UK via AU
"Small return angle of 6-degree" The return angle on good ratchets is usually 3-4 degrees. Even my cheapest ratchet that is about the same…
I was at Total Tools earlier today and saw they had this kit marked down to $349. It includes Dewalts top of the range hammer drill, a 6ah…
jamesorion replied to access denied on Dewalt DCD805E1T-XE 18V 1.7Ah XR Li-Ion Brushless Hammer Drill Driver Combo Kit $169 Deilvered @ Sydney Tools
When Bunnings had them around this price, my local had a couple of dozen of them and I remember them being in TSTAK cases.
jamesorion replied to JURBA on Dewalt SDS+ Rotary Hammer XR 12V 3.0Ah Kit $174.30 + Delivery ($0 C&C/in-Store) @ Supercheap Auto
I still see brushed tools being used by tradies, usually older ones with 10-15 year old Makitas. I myself still use a 10 year old brushed…
jamesorion commented on Gearwrench 10 Piece 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" Drive Metric Deep Socket Set $25 ea + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store/ OnePass) @ Bunnings
I was hoping to pick up a 3/8 deep set, but unforunately they all look to all be 12 point, shallow broach sockets. Nothing wrong with that,…
jamesorion commented on 15% off Storewide (Some Exclusions) + Delivery ($0 NSW C&C / in-Store) @ Tools Warehouse
"Storewide", yet most things I was interested in weren't included, or were included but amazingly enough are the same price as they usually…
jamesorion replied to ChiefAJ on Dewalt SDS+ Rotary Hammer XR 12V 3.0Ah Kit $174.30 + Delivery ($0 C&C/in-Store) @ Supercheap Auto
I'm still kicking myself for not buying up all their 12v stuff from the Bunnings clearance when I had the chance. I think the impact driver…
jamesorion replied to OZKap on Dewalt SDS+ Rotary Hammer XR 12V 3.0Ah Kit $174.30 + Delivery ($0 C&C/in-Store) @ Supercheap Auto
Technically 3/5 the watt hours, since 12v tools like these and the M12 have a nominal voltage of 10.8v. They use 3 cells in series compared…
jamesorion replied to harisjd on Dewalt 18V 4ah XR Atomic 2pc Kit DCK2062M2T-XE(Redeem Bonus DCB184-XE 18V XR 5ah Battery) $399 @ Bunnings ($379.05 with Pwrpass)
Yeah, that's a much better deal. The 840 is well reviewed and pretty much the same performance as the 850, 845, and 887. It doesn't have…
jamesorion replied to neRok on 12V 100Ah & 200Ah LiFePO4 Batteries: 100Ah $254.36 ($248.38 eBay Plus), 200Ah $509.36 ($497.38 eBay Plus) Delivered @Outbax eBay
You're likely looking at around 80% efficiency with an inverter, so you have to factor that in, as well as the extra power the inverter is…
jamesorion replied to neRok on 12V 100Ah & 200Ah LiFePO4 Batteries: 100Ah $254.36 ($248.38 eBay Plus), 200Ah $509.36 ($497.38 eBay Plus) Delivered @Outbax eBay
No way you would power a house fridge for a whole day. A big enough inverter to power the house fridge and put out enough current when the…
jamesorion replied to shap08 on 12V 100Ah & 200Ah LiFePO4 Batteries: 100Ah $254.36 ($248.38 eBay Plus), 200Ah $509.36 ($497.38 eBay Plus) Delivered @Outbax eBay
In the ad it says they can be but they don't recommend connecting any LifePO4s together, which is ridiculous of course. If done correctly,…
jamesorion replied to Exprise on Dewalt DWHT16852-9 6pce Wood Chisel Set $49 (Was $99) + Delivery ($0 C&C/ $99 Order) @ Sydney Tools
I just checked mine. It isn't stamped or printed anywhere on the tools. Maybe said on the original packaging. I've had mine since the last…
jamesorion replied to ohgee on ToolPRO 12V Rotary Tool Kit inc 2Ah Battery & Charger $35 + Delivery ($0 In-Store/C&C) @ Supercheap Auto
A permanent flexi shaft isn't ideal, imo. Definitely times when a rigid shaft is preferable.
Lithium batteries tend to have a built in BMS that will disconnect when the voltage gets too low to avoid damaging the cells. The BMS may…
Good job googling. Best is subjective. I can almost guarantee the niece would prefer an iPad with Procreate to a wacom tablet.
jamesorion commented on DeWALT DCS355N-XJ Brushless 18V Oscillating Multi-Tool with 29-Piece Kit $185.93 Delivered @ Amazon Germany via AU
I was lucky enough to get this kit on clearance for $120 about a year ago at my local Total Tools. Works well. Vibration is a bit of an…

I think there are better Dewalt options in this price range, especially if you are willing to wait for a deal. The kit with the dcf850,…
