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

  I had a look out of curiosity - TBH actually didn't see too many extra ones. Maybe one or two at most but perhaps over the next week or so. Only looked at Ryobi blowers on eBay "recent listings" though, didn't look at Gumtree (don't like it)

  Not worth it. You will get killed with ebay/paypal fees and in postage/handling. Quite a low margin considering this.

Thanks OP! Went to the Glendale NSW store looking for a hedge trimmer and the assistant said none in stock and offered to check stock at close by stores.

While he was gone, the wife pointed to the top shelf and asked "Is that one there?". On closer inspection it matched the model number on the shelf tag. We were surprised considering the scanner showed nil stock.

The wife said to go get the assistant and she would guard the shelf. Assistant came back and grabbed the elevated platform and handed me the hedge trimmer.

Not sure how many other people asked today and got told no stock.

Thanks to my "eagle-eye" wife and the inconsistency in the Bunnings stock system, I scored a hedge trimmer. A nice addition to my other Ryobi One+ products. :-)
- abc on 03/01/2016 - 22:58
  
  If no stock on the shelf check the stack of stock above the shelf. There was only 1 blower on the shelf at my local store and maybe around 20 stacked up high on the top shelf storage area.

  Same happened to me at Mascot this evening (minus the wife part). Grabbed the last one hidden up in the stock up top. (Last hedge trimmer, didn't see any of the blowers or edgers on a cursory look but wasn't looking too hard).

Thanks Op, grabbed the line trimmer today.

Block is only smallish, but I had no worries trimming the edges of the kerb, front yard, side yard and the overgrown rear yard without a drama on the small included battery. This thing ripper through buffalo and kikiyu grass on our lawns without a drama. It struggled a lil bit on the shitty weed grass and weeds in the backyard but got the job done, was just a bit slower than a petrol snipper. That said, for normal yard duties I would never own a petrol snipper again after giving this Ryobi One+ a whirl…

  Best thing to do is change out the original line to some 1.2mm-1.4mm line which will improve it 100%. It still doesnt come close to the power of a petrol or 36v unit but for the majority of homes it will suffice.
  - Elppa8 on 04/01/2016 - 23:26
    
    What the advantage of going to a smaller line, less load for higher line speed? Wouldn't there be a higher rate of line breakage?
    - MATTDAMON on 05/01/2016 - 02:23
      
      -1
      
      Its going to a larger line, the factory stuff is 0.8mm IIRC, reduces breakage and has more cutting power.

      @Copie: I measured mine at 1.65mm which matches the recommended size in the manual, hence my original comment.
      The imperial equivalent is 0.08"
    - bxpressiv on 05/01/2016 - 11:19
      
      @Elppa8:
      
      I bought the Ryobi branded 3 spool pack for the line trimmer and it's a 1.5mm twisted line. It took me a while to find because I was looking for a 1.65mm. My tip is buy replacement spool and have it on hand so you don't run out like I did mid job.
    - stewy on 09/01/2016 - 02:40
      
      The Ryobi recommended line was 1.5mm but the closest Bunnings had was 1.6mm. I found on Whirlpool some people saying they put 2mm line in it and it works better.
      
      That said I was talking to the guy at Bunnings and he recommended sticking with the 1.6mm line and that whilst non-braided might not be quite as effective it would last longer. So I just bought a pack of 1.6mm line and assume I will be able to rewind the spool with that. The price of replacement Ryobi pre-wound spools seemed like a con job…
MaccDogg on 03/01/2016 - 23:20

I was told Bunnings are matching the prices of a similar product at Master. I assume it's the "BLACK+DECKER 18V Lithium 2.0Ah" range.

Plenty of line trimmer sets left at Balgowlah and 3 blower sets as at 9.00am today.

Anybody have any opinions on the one plus mower? Have around 200 square metres of yard. Wondering whether a couple of the 5aH batteries would provide enough juice to cover this?
- abc on 04/01/2016 - 10:42

  Should theoretically be enough however 36V is more powerful. Also depends on the length of grass. If you leave it too long decreases runtime.
bricabrac89 on 04/01/2016 - 11:16

Any deals on the 36V Lawn Mower? In the market for a new mower and considering one over petrol.
Pbm33 on 04/01/2016 - 11:37

Hi all, have a ~200sqm yard with the hedges spanning ~40m in length. Would these 2 do the trick for me:

Hedge Trimmer:

Line Trimmer:
http://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-one-18v-1-5ah-li-ion-cordle…

Just not sure how powerful these are..
- Top G on 04/01/2016 - 11:43
  
  Hedge trimmer yes, line trimmer is not worth it for that big an area. Biggest savings is on blower and hedge trimmer rrp of 239 and 199 respectively. Line trimmer has rrp of only 149.
  - Pbm33 on 04/01/2016 - 11:47
    
    The hedge trimmer will be powerful enough? How much runtime will I get on a full charge?
    
    What about if I do go ahead with the line trimmer also. Again will it be powerful enough? How much runtime will I get on a full charge?

      @Prat33:
      
      A few people have said to replace the line with another one, supposedly that improves the line trimmer a lot.
      
      If you have a big area you'll just have to make sure you have enough batteries to do the whole area.
      
      Generally on a full charge of a 1.5ah battery you should see 15 - 20 minutes usage on the hedge trimmer, maybe 10 minutes if you're running it under full load.
SaraK83 on 04/01/2016 - 12:10

I grabbed the Blower this morning and am considering the line trimmer. Can anyone tell me is the 5AH battery from the blower will also fit in the line trimmer?

God helps us all find a bargain in 2017 after deals like this put Masters out of business. 18v batteries will be $100+… Still the deal is too good to pass on so I grabbed a blower.
Trosticles on 04/01/2016 - 13:17

I was in at Bunnings, Indooroopilly at 9am on Sunday and grabbed the blower. There were about 8 when I arrived. The line trimmer was $120.

What annoyed me the most was one staff member purchasing at least 3 (and then joking to me in the lift about not wanting customers to find them as he carried 2 down to his car) and reserving other stock for staff members. I left at 9:20am and there was 1 left. I am pretty sure there was only 1 other customer who had bought one.

I expect several of the gumtree deals are Bunnings staff members.

I don't know it has been mentioned before but as my local stores run out of the blower I was able to pick up the discontinued model that is with the same blower but 4ah battery -also comes with the same speed charger. it was scanning at $99 but they were happy to go down to $90. Happy with the purchase as it's only 20% less juice.

  how does it fit? its a completely different battery. I have seen and used both the Ryboi batteries and Makita batteries and they have a different fitting one is slidey and the other has a stickey out bit. (very technical I know). I have also put a makita battery in the makita radio but I wasn't paying a lot of attention.

    not sure what the makita battery looks like, but im telling you it fits. have it sitting next to me. the 5 amp ONE+ battery sitting nicely in the back of it. had it running for about 8 hours yesterday, only took 1 bar out of the ONE+ battery life.

Just tried out the new Line Trimmer, and I must be doing it wrong, as it seems to be advancing / cutting the line nearly every time I hit the trigger (even after waiting for the head to stop turning).

Is that normal, or am I too trigger happy, or…?
- highon2str on 04/01/2016 - 21:09
  
  I'm still on the old model, have yet to use this new one, but whenever I want to advance the line, I wait for it to slow down and almost stop, then squeeze the trigger. Doing this a few times in a row advances the line.
  
  The line does not advance while it is spinning.
  - kirt on 04/01/2016 - 22:00
    
    Hmmm…so when squeezing the trigger from a dead stop it should not advance the line right?
    
    Only if the head is slowly spinning?

I spoke to the nice guy at Box Hill and he suggested phoning and checking to see if any get delivered on weds/thurs.

The blower is such good value as is the line trimmer probably(my lawn is so rubbuish it doesn't need trimming), especially if you have any other Ryobi One stuff.

Snax912 on 06/01/2016 - 11:10

Purchased a blower kit, considering the one+ mower now.

So,

Buy the one+ mower & another blower kit for the battery,
Or
Buy the 36v Mower with it's own batt for an extra $10?

Are the mower pretty much the same?
- StonedWizard on 06/01/2016 - 11:39
  
  I think the 36V one would be much more powerful.
  
  There is a mower which takes 2x 18v batteries but i'm unsure of the power delivery.
- Elijha on 06/01/2016 - 17:20
  
  same boat as you - already had a trimmer and a drill - bought the blower for the 5amp battery - tried it out and really like the improved power and duration on the trimmer (used less than half the battery now after a 30min usage!). Looked at the mower then realised it didn't come with any batteries. So do I scrounge around to see if I can get another blower for the Battery (local bunnings has none now) or look at the 36v.
  
  I think it would be useful to have batteries I can use in my 'other things' though now I have a 1.5 a 2.0 and a 5amp for those which should have me covered.
  
  If I end up looking at 36v is there any benefit to sticking with the brand.. what are the battery replacement costs and lifespan on them etc. Decisions decisions. One other factor is I was looking for a small electric chain saw (I have a lot of native scrubby trees to maintain)- my dad has one and it is really really good. Looking at the 18v Ryobi there is no way it will last or do the job but the 36v one looks fairly decent… so maybe 36v mower is the way to go for me and those two items can share their own battery.
  - MATTDAMON on 07/01/2016 - 02:21
    
    With the one+ mower they dont need to be the same sized batterys to use it, you can use any combination so the 5 + 2 would work fine.
    
    The 36v and one+ mower are the same, both are 36v they just use different battery packs, better off keeping it all using the same battery packs rather then having another battery + charger laying around.
    
    The mower itself is decent, though before use i highly reccomend pulling the blade off and sharpening it as its a bit meh from factory (no edge at all on it)
    - Elijha on 07/01/2016 - 02:48
      
      Thanks for that - guy at bunnings told me they had to be the same Amp on the battery.

      @Elijha:
      
      Nah, amperage is the same anyways, only the capacity is different. I've been using a 5 and a 1.3 in mine for ages with no problems.
