Came across these on Bunnings home page absolute bargain considering the usual retail on these kits.

The hedge trimmer is usually over $239 from memory.

Seems like a nation wide deal but confirm with your local store.

Ignore the ticketed price it will scan up as $90 at the register

        Bunnings is pretty easy to refund, you shouldn't have any dramas.

      • bio on 02/01/2016 - 23:05

        Thanks. Yes, it is the same kit with 5Ah battery. I bought it mainly for the battery. I don't need the blower to run for hours but the line trimmer came with a 1.5Ah which turned out to be too small.

        • StonedWizard on 02/01/2016 - 23:06

          How long does it last on the 1.5 ?

        • bio on 02/01/2016 - 23:08

          @sshazam: Trimmer runs about 20 minutes with 1.5Ah. I couldn't test the blower yet (just bought it).

          Doing well to get 20min out of the 1.5ah i normally be lucky to get 10-12 minutes out of mine (same as whats listed in the OP, same battery)

          Apart from that it works ok, the 36v dual battery unit is a better choice overall though, more power and dual feed head as i found the single feed head of this model to be a little weak even with stronger/thicker line.

        • StonedWizard on 02/01/2016 - 23:28

        • bio on 02/01/2016 - 23:40

          @sshazam: I agree, that's why I am planning to use the 5Ah with the trimmer instead. I don't use the blower that long anyway.

        They will not refund the difference so don't waste your time or theirs. Return the one you have unless it's been opened in which case buy a new one for $90 and return later that day with it and your $199 receipt and ask for a receipt for change of mind.

    I have the older model blower and it's great. The line trimmer not so much. You need to keep stopping to advance the line. An an edger it's very rough. Either way, each time you hit some thing hard you need to stop to advance the line. I had an electric trimmer from ryobi and it had exactly the same problems.

    • captobvious on 03/01/2016 - 01:32

      .8mm line to a 1.5mm line helped a lot with this problem. Its a bit of a squeeze but doable

      • WhyPayRetail on 03/01/2016 - 15:14

        I just picked up one of these line trimmers, and it says to only use 1.65mm line (yes, I read the manual for the first time ever). I have a supply of 1.60mm from my old unit, so guess what I'll be using when the spool runs out ;-)

      Do you have only corded tools and use a manual screwdriver as well? Cordless tools are very powerful and to suggest that you would never buy another cordless line trimmer again because of your experience with one is very short sighted. I changed to a Li-Ion mower around 5 years ago and changed our blower and trimmer over to Li-Ion around 12 months ago and haven't looked back. Sure the trimmer isn't as powerful (Bosch 36V) but it does the job with all the edges we have on our block without the hassles of maintenance of petrol powered tools and no fuel to buy.

          Cordless Rotary Hammer drills work fantastically. Cordless hammer drills work the same as corded hammer drills. Sounds like it's your choice of tool that is the issue.

          Cordless angle grinders also work fantastically if you don't buy rubbish and do exactly what they are intended to do and they do it well if you choose the correct discs.

          As for line trimmers, your comment that you will never touch them again is a short sighted knee jerk reaction that is devoid of all logic.

          Sure, but the cordless angle grinder really is the best example. It requires no skill to use one. Door handle/bolt stopping you from entering a house? Not anymore. Or, stealing an expensive bike with a good lock could make you thousands, and it's really the only tool you'd be able to do it with (ignoring that it's probably easy to get caught selling said bike on gumtree or whatever).

          The other tools aren't as fast and electronic gear requires know-how.

        Does the mower mulch though? I've not seen an electric that does. Why people buy petrol mowers that don't - and then have to get rid of bags of grass… Oh, I guess it's not beyond me actually. I did the same until I owned one.

          Our Bosch 36V mower mulches. And mulching is not always the best way to go, we don't always mulch as you get a buildup in the grass.

        • [Deactivated] on 03/01/2016 - 05:14

          @Maverick-au: I only get that when the grass is in full growing swing, and I don't mow for two weeks. Even then, I just go over it again and it chops up so small you can't tell. Maybe that's a difference between petrol & electric too.

          What are you talking about? There is no difference between mulching on electric or petrol, if the grass is tall you can go over it twice on the electric model to get rid of any excess lawn clippings that didn't mulch the first time but this leads onto what I was talking about.

          What I said was that you don't always want to mulch the lawn, there are times when the lawn is too long to mulch properly, when you may have disease in the lawn you don't want to spread and when you already have too much mulch built up in the lawn and need to thin it out.

          I did not say that electric/battery mowers were unable to mulch properly.

          @Maverick-au: I never said you did. I said, "maybe".

          What I'm talking about is, it sounded like the electric leaves too much grass - often - whereas my petrol leaves (a very little) bit of "extra" grass rarely. In fact when mine does, it's so slight, that give a day or 2 and you can't tell. I only notice it because you don't see the same thing all over the yard - just the few places where it always grows greener/better than the rest.

          BTW… With my petrol, it's NEVER too long not to mulch the grass. It just takes another say 20% in time to do because you have to walk slower. And leaves the small amount of extra grass. (What it looks like is if you had an old two-stroke, and the catcher was full, so it starts leaving a line of clippings at the right-hand wheel.)

          It's the same two opinions that always come up anyway. I've owned both electric and petrol. Though I really wanted to use electric I sold them. For light grass, small spaces, sure. But I was on a 1/4 block with one of those small old fibro homes. (So more yard to mow compare to most.) It was too much grass to get rid of afterwards. That, and the petrol always gave a neater cut - even though it's blades were often blunt/cracked and electric was new.

    • StonedWizard on 03/01/2016 - 00:54

      With the 5.0ah battery you get more power over the 1.5ah but the trick with cordless is to not let the grass become untamed.

    Whilst it has come a long way in the last 15 years, I agree that a cordless product does definitely compromises quality. I've used the electric trimmers and mowers before. Unless your maintaining your lawn almost daily you're going to have problems and petrol power can't be beaten.

      Quality or performance? Quality is generally going to be better from the cordless product and as for performance this depends on where and how you use it.

      We don't cut our lawn on a regular basis and it's a thick lawn but still the Bosch mower gets through it all and manages to mulch. And the Bosch trimmer is great along with the Bosch blower.
