Agreed, the BT volume issue also applies to the G31 and G82. I've got an unopened G75 wondering the same thing as I still use Garmin…

GreyChris on Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Touch Keyboard Black $55.78 ($52.43 eBay Plus) Delivered @ Ausriver eBay

I've a couple of these, or variants but same brand. They seem to work well and are useful for backup cams as well. Note - you can also get…

The chicken ones are inoffensive and I always keep a pack in the freezer. Beef versions are just "slurry" to quote my wife. I'm not so down…

Fatfat on Castrol Edge 5W-30 Full Synthetic Engine Oil 5L $39.99 (Member Price) + Delivery ($0 C&C/In-Store) @ Autobarn

Some VW (VAG) engines have two oil lights - amber is a level indicator which basically means it's too low so top now, red means stop NOW or…

jjsnacks on Castrol Edge 5W-30 Full Synthetic Engine Oil 5L $39.99 (Member Price) + Delivery ($0 C&C/In-Store) @ Autobarn

I use used engine oil from my eGas Falcon to coat the plywood base of my trailer. Used engine oil from LPG engines often looks like new.

Good advice - nearly always better to go the OEM route if you can as a) you know they'll fit properly b) if you damage one then getting a…

Look at Youtube for Ozito pruning Shears - very likely the same internals as both will likely be based on Einhell designs.

I'd also avoid Ryobi as I've found their batteries to be very poor. I now use DeWalts dating back to 2014 with a $20 adaptor for our Ryobi…

Yes, but not 365. If you need a new battery "today" then Ozito is your only option at this price point.

Reciprocating saw with a 200mm+ blade might be a better bet? Pruning shears do look useful though for my wife.

I'd be pretty sure that you can get longer combs. My kit from 20 years ago goes up that far but like most I only use #1 or #2. NO offence…

You must have OnePass, make sure you're logged in and then should see that price at checkout - worked for me.

moo on [Refurb] Sony XR75X90L 75" UHD Google TV (Factory Seconds) $1274.15 ($1244.17 eBay Plus) + $49 Del @ Sony eBay (Excl. TAS, NT)

It happens. Samsung are known for it but I'm sure it would happen to other brands too, indeed as witnessed here.

Deep fryers absolutely have their place. The trick is to find that place and use it and then filter the oil and keep it cool. E.g. deep…

Immediate thought is that those wheels will sink into loose sand - not what you want on a beach?
