[VIC] Full Boar 6.5hp Plate Compactor $199 (Was $549) @ Bunnings, Altona

390

Bunnings altona said these units are now deleted line items and are on clearance until sold.

$199 at Altona surely has to be nationwide as its a deleted item.

  • I had one of these. Expected it would be junk, but actually turned out to be a reasonable unit.
    Was easy to start.
    I’d buy another, especially for $199.

    Anyone found the same offer at other Bunnings?

      I have this also, probably a few revisions old as I bought it 10 years ago.

      It's still in my garden shed. It's paved 3 properties, landscaped 4 (friends borrowed it).

      The air intake is falling apart and it's been duct taped together and sometimes it needs a squirt of start ya bastard but it gets the job done once it's warmed up.

      They definitely don't hit as hard as the big units you can hire….but being able to take your time is worth having to go over an area a few times.

  • Good buy and hire out on weekends and make some good money.

            @Hoangkar: anyone looking at this thread: dont bother with Sunshine and Hoppers. There are stocks, just at $500+. And no, the compactor is NOT a deleted item according to Sunshine and Hoppers.

  • Damn that’s cheap.
    Cost me $90 to hire one for a half day

    Thanks op.

    Now just need to find something to whack.

    • hi, have you got one? if so, could you help to share the receipt? Thanks

  • I bought one of these things years ago. Works well, although it transfers a lot of vibration to your hands, so it's not something you'll want to use all day.

      Could this have two uses as a personal massager as well? Ozbargain seems to have those hand held massagers on a lot but have never bought one. I could use this to compact a path and then the Mrs could use it too?πŸ˜‚

      • you need the accessory kit for massages ….. massage kit not on clearance ….

    Bought one.
    Can someone please tell me what it does?

    • +3

      I think it compacts plates

      • Stop being silly. It is for compacting garbage, you need 2 of them

    • Hi, wonder if you could kindly share the receipt. Thanks

    20+ upvotes for something that is OOS atm, and to start with, that has only has 2 this morning before being snapped up.

    The store probably fielded >20 calls (including mine) about the same item since they open doors today.

    Had one of these - good unit. Worked well with Maxwell and Williams but wasn’t great for Corelle

    • It worked great on my corella… flat as plate now. Soon afterwards a white truck came to take the nosy vegans away from next door who watch everything I do from their balcony, so that was an unexpected bonus.

    Just checked at Scoresby Bunnings

    They have them in stock but not on clearance and they won't price match

    Trying to find how many plates it can compact per minute in the specs. I'm getting sick of manually smashing them at weddings.
