For some reason the link in the post doesn't work for me but I can search it up on the Bunnings website fine in WA
The equivalent aldi brushless was on sale for $49 and bunnings price matched with the non brushless last time. They can go lower.
They can go lower.
They won't though, because they are a different class of power tool.
Yeah, i don't think it will go lower Aus wide, however, don't ever rule out the cheeky mark down from the store manager that is sick of seeing that tool in the shop. Also, ex- display go dirt cheap too (but may have stuff missing).
That was the 115mm, this is the 125mm. I've been keeping my eye on them since I just missed out on the $49 one as I had a voucher waiting for a reason.
The difference between the sizes greater than you think if you haven't trained or worked in metal fab - a handyman's occasional go-to vs something useful on a workbench.
I thought I'd missed out after using the store checker, however I had a quick look in Marion (SA) today and there were a couple of shelf layers two [box length] wide so they have at least 6.
Having cheaped out with their drill , lawn mower and plastic weed massager I thought I'd grab one for muck work. I took it home, cleared out an awkward 40mm prunus sucker stump that had been annoying me, then hit some old tube fencing and a bed frame that needed cutting down.
I wouldn't be disappointed to find this in a work-bay. It's light and manoeuvrable, the "soft start" is bliss as you have no need to anticipate any torque twist off-line, and the couple of times I did stall it in the cut, it was `bottoming' where a mains powered one would have said no with a complimentary kick to make sure you had noticed.
It went as fast through the work as I generally use mains equipment anyway - the whole point of the tool is there is no need to force it and it went through thick sheet (3mm gate-lock tongue and 20mm hollow fence tubing) readily while holding the weight of the device and drawing it down to follow the cut, rather than pushing it or using the tools weight.
If I needed to go any harder than this unit could offer, I'd want an 8" or 12" anyway. Any advantages a mains unit would have would be outweighed just by the need to be aware of the cord and working around it for most household jobs.
I got this a year or two ago, it is surprisingly powerful. I expected it to be worse than a cheap 100mm corded one, but it is better, and a bigger disk too.
Got it last year, still in box because of my laziness 😔
I have two of these and they are great. No issues with them. Bought two because I was changing the ends all the time for wire brush and grinding wheel.
whats retail? how much am i saving here?
$109
damn it, that's a pretty good savings. now i have to buy one. darn u nocure
I waited so long for a special but had to pay full price, still worth it.
Bought one, thanks op
Do bunnings hide sale items on the website? Was looking at this over thr weekend on the website and now its disappeared. Not the first time its haopened.
The website shows 79
Anyone know how to get the disc out when the black button on the top is broken??
The button is to lock the disc in place so you can unscrew the middle part. Maybe try holding the disc manually and turn the middle part using the tool.
If it's the grinding disc, we used to just hold them with the disc uppermost in the left hand, and whack down using the heel of our right hand (in gauntlets!) to shock and spin the wheel anticlockwise of the thread.
I'd suggest a bit of cut timber instead if it's a cutting wheel…
If all else fails, some vice-grips on the disk wound anticlockwise until the it's against body/guard then use a pin-punch and mallet in one of the holes and a sharp rap - it really is all in the way you hold your mouth…
As for the instructions to tighten the holding flange with the spanner - just don't. The disk is either on correctly with the flanges faces the right way for the type of disc (grind,cut,accessory) and then put on finger tight ,and it will tighten to it's correct torque as soon as it meets resistance, or it's not and you have a spinning toy . The only forces from then on are all acting to tighten it - it is not going to unwind.
Using the spanner other than to take a disc off (of which WOFTAE we hardly ever needed or bothered with on any job I was ever on) just piles on the trouble when, for instance, the black button on the top breaks;-p
Brought one thanks OP 👍
Got one today, thanks.
Thanks OP. 👍
Got one today.
Did the job nicely with the Zirconia Flap Discs (3 pack) and 4ah battery.
It's so light to use compared with my old corded angle grinder.
Bought one today. Anyone know the attached disc any good or should get a better one?
It won't outlast the unit so you will need one at some stage.
No stock anywhere in QLD from what I can see. Also not available for delivery.
Though this seems to very much elude to the contrary
