I paid about $30 for the snips alone and they are fantastic.
Good deal OP.
This is such a good deal, I have to come to grips with it.
Is this nationwide?
It's not clearance item, so i guess it should be nationwide.
Good deal. I once purchased one for $40
I would stay clear from those clamps. i have broken everyone of the quick action clamps. the spring clamps are OK.
Spend more and get the Irwin quick action clamps.
I bought the Irwin ones.
Feck, I paid $79 for this last weeks. You get a lot for the price. Plus, lifetime warranty.
That fecking ducks!
Take them back and then rebuy at the lower price if they are the same items.
Or rebuy first to see if they are, then take them back with the original receipt :) 😊
Would that picture be enough for a price match in Bunnings? Or need a receipt ?
Can anyone confirm this is available at any other Bunnings than Springvale?
Tried calling your local store…?
I just went to Bunnings to ask. They said it is a promotional item, and randomly checked Waurn Ponds Bunnings shows 17 in stock.

I thought they were called Irwin Alligator clips :)
The guy was a legend
Bought one. Thanks Op. None at Box Hill. 1 left at Nunawading
Just called Nunawading and they've located a few more… Dropping by during lunch. Cheers.
I just bought a set at $59.98 at Rydalmere.
There were 3 boxes (4 sets per box, so i think 11 left), sitting on the floor next to the pliers in the tool section.
They were priced at $79.98 but they scanned at $59.98.
Thanks OP.
Bought in Knox/Scoresby this morning. Two left, unless there were more in the boxes underneath. No price displayed. Cashier started raving about it being a great deal after she scanned it.
Anyone try Maribynong? Or Footscray?
I bought one. There's 11 left at the Maribrynong store as of 4pm.
Looks like it's Australia wide. I just rang the Innaloo (yes….in a crapper…wouldn't want to live there) store (WA) and they advised they have them in stock according to their system, however he couldn't locate them on the shop floor.
they were out the front on of the toolshop on saturday….
Where are they made?
China
This is a very good price, the individual prices (@ Bunnings) for what's included in this kit are far beyond the price paid; AFAIK two pieces would roughly equate to the kit price on their own.
Plus, you also receive a little bag for it all! Ha!
I'm almost certain this is an AUS wide price, however oddly it appears some stores have these set up in promo stacks whereas other stores (namely Marion, SA) have them stocked on shelf with no indication this is a promo or special price. Maybe the staff are trying to keep it on the down low for themselves..!
Bankstown 2200 has 10 units left
Marion store in SA still has roughly 6 boxes located on the bottom shelf to the left as you walk into the toolshop.
ok dokey
hoppers had 9 after I purchased one at 13:00
I can save you the hassle of the rabbit in the headlights experience
they are
at
the left of the tool shop, outside the cash register
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
I was there this afternoon, probably about 4:30pm. I asked them if they had any.. They said yes (7 in stock), in either isle 6, 13 or 27… I'm like "are you sure?"..
So I looked in the tool section where they should be.. and nothing. I had about 4 staff with no idea. They said if there's none there, then they've all sold. So I assume there's none left now.
I left empty handed :(
Belmont store (WA) has a little over 3 cartons on display on the floor in the tool section in front of the pliers on the shelf. The sign on the display has $79.98, but they scan at $59.98
Also at Southern River (WA). I bought a set about lunchtime. Bit hard to find but located just on the right as you walk into the tool shop, opposite the sales counter. There was one set on display on top of a box full. Sign priced them at $59.98. Great deal for decent quality pliers. Thanks OP.
Bunnings Whitfords had about 5 cartons near pillar in the pliers section of the toolshop this afternoon - not marked and in plain cartons so hard to find. Same price $59.98
Thanks OP, 5ish left at Ipswich West, you may have to ask as they weren't on the shelf/on display.
Crap just bought 1 this morning, worth 30$ for 1 of those, did not see those box in bunnings Marsden park
Can you use these for plumbing?
thanks OP, just what i needed!
bought this evening in gladstone, qld, still had plenty left
Thanks OP. Bought 5 for Christmas presents. None left at Fyshwick, but 19 left at Belconnen (on a shelf above their pliers display board)
Thanks OP.
I recently started myself a toolkit with the Sidchrome 66 piece tool kit which Bunnings had for $199
http://www.bunnings.com.au/sidchrome-66-piece-tool-kit_p6110…
I thought this Irwin kit would be the perfect accompaniment for it
I bought one for myself and tomorrow I'm gonna dash back and buy a few more for xmas gifts.
That Sidchrome kit looks like really good value especially at the current price of $149. It would make a great father's day present:)
Got the last one on the shelf in Artarmon NSW
2 cartons worth left at Bayswater VIC bunnings
Greenacre has about 10 packs left
Bunnings Morley had a carton or 2 left
Non left at Bonnyrigg, bought the last one there.
These are a good deal. Stafford in Q had 10 left as of yesterday, Northlakes had 2, after I picked one up. Nothing else in N Brisbane according to staff
1 left at North lakes now!
Thanks OP. Picked up a set last night. Still plenty of stock left in Lismore NSW.
4 left at Greenacre NSW
Bought the last one at castlehill.
Bayswater VIC is supposed to have two, but staff couldn't find them. Scoresby has three left after I grabbed one.
Sold out Wollongong, NSW.
Got 1 at Warrawong, NSW
Shellharbour, NSW also shows 1 in-stock.
Grabbed a set from West Footscray Bunnings, they had a few left. Located to the left when you walk in the tool section in a promotional bin.
Bought one the other day and I'm not sure about the quality of the other tools in the set but the side cutters isn't the best.
The points on it should be spot on when the jaws are closed like this >< but they aren't
Mine are at least a mm out.
So when you cut something, instead of it cutting it's actually sheering like scissors.
Took my set back and the second set is better but still the same issue.
Lets just say if I was to buy this individually, I wouldn't.
What is everyone else's one like?
Mine is ok to good quality, I'd say for the warranty and price it is a good buy, and it's perfectly fine for my work.
It's still a good buy for sure.
Was just disappointed that it doesn't cut wiring conduit that easy and makes it feel not as sharp as it should
Oh.. are we supposed to open the box ?
Thanks OP.
Picked up a set from Bunnings Midland (WA).
The last thre are worth $23.98, $29.98 & $24.98 at Bunnings respectively…
