Needed a new line trimmer, and couldn't wait until the mid-spring sales arrive. The Ryobi 18V Brushless trimmer kit (I don't have any other Ryobi battery tools) looked good and around my budget, but wasn't available at my local Bunnings (and I later found out, no Bunnings - it's a future mid-spring (Oct/Nov) sale item apparently).
To buy the same kit separately at Bunnings currently will cost $344 - https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-one-18v-brushless-line-tri… and https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-18v-one-4-0ah-battery-and-…
I asked at the Special Orders counter if they would price match the $269 using the Ryobi URL as comparison, and they agreed/authorised. Use enquiry ref. 301839849 at your local Bunnings if they need to lookup the price match was previously given, the assistant told me it should be available at any Bunnings Special orders desk.

That's pretty powerful, and a big arse battery to go with it. I think I got a Ryobi one for about $80 some time, and the battery that came with it was very small, but I use the decent batteries from my other tools and have that one as a spare for other stuff. Gets the job done but I'd love this big nasty one.
