Add on TV here in Melbs tonight highlighted 20% off all power tools.

Some good priced items on clearance and Hot buys that would be more attractive with 20% off.

    dremel noob here….is the 8200 significantly better than the 8100? i'm only comparing these two as i need a portable one

      The 8100 is pretty weak. Depends what you are using it for, but the 8200 is a better buy imho.

      The 8220 is even better, since it runs for more than twelve seconds. But not sure if they have released it here yet (I brought mine back from the US), but you can get one for around $120-130 delivered…

    Wouldn't discount a Dewalt 14.4V Li-Ion Hammer Drill Driver Kit at $318 Online-(https://www.masters.com.au/product/100597537/dewalt-14-4v-li…), So this deal doesn't include all power tools I guess.
    Bit of a shame, been wanting the Dewalt for some time!

    • Coley on 08/08/2014 - 09:39

      Masters only sell the downgraded 14.4V. You should look into getting the 18V from Bunnings. That way you can cheap bare tools from the AUS or US etc and they are compatible.

      Price for 14.4V vs 18V is minimal when on special.

      • danishcrab1869 on 08/08/2014 - 09:56

        Need the kit to go with the $50 Dewalt drill that Masters was clearing out, but neglected to inform people on website that it didn't have power pack and would cost over $200 for just an Xtra Long Life Battery and Charger.

        So the kit I was looking at getting had all I would needed to start a basic ToolKit(Cordless Drill part of it anyway) for our new place. Would of accepted paying $263.35 incl delivery for all of that after my "Blonde Moment"

        • jjcf on 08/08/2014 - 11:02

          Do you actually need a hammer drill? There isn't much you are getting done with a 14v hammer that you can't do with your existing drill.

          As above, the 14.4v range is pretty whack. It's some random detuned range they made for a handful of stores to give them 'exclusives', but nowhere carries it. There is barely anything else in the range, and you can't buy cheap US bare tools. Plus you are stuck in a weird place - you don't get the tiny subcompact size of the 10.8v, but you don't get the power of the 18/20v stuff. And you pay the 18v price anyways.

  • oceang on 08/08/2014 - 07:31

    Can't see any bargains here.

    Article in the Age this morning about how much money Masters is losing. No wonder, they are just a 'me too' Bunnings with less brand choice. Sorry Woolies; '909' (exclusive!), 'Worx' & 'Wesco' aren't brands, they're just random names for the cheap Chinese crap you flog.

    On the other hand, I'd like to see the ACCC investigating Bunnings practices of demanding exclusive supply from their suppliers, which is why you can't buy Makita at Masters for example. Seems anti-competitive to me.

    • jjcf on 08/08/2014 - 10:41
      +1

      Wesco is American, and a huge brand over there in the DIY market.

      Exclusive supply arrangements aren't illegal. Because that would be retarded. If Makita doesn't want to sell to Masters, they shouldn't be forced to because reasons.

      And exclusive dealing (which is illegal) doesn't mean what people think it does.

    • giventofly on 08/08/2014 - 10:49

      I thought they colluded with Masters. Anyway, Sydney Tools had a big sale and I thought I'd check if they could price match on a stocked Bosch drill, turns out they were out of stock in all stores near me (within half an hour drive). Thought that was a little convenient for them

    • bargainhuntaa on 08/08/2014 - 13:02

      Bunnings need competition.. they have a sort of monopoly in the industry… hardly anything goes on special. Customer service is not all that great. They sometimes dont want to price match. Do they even have click and collect option? Or something similar? They have a massive range of products and they are good with returns though. Thats been my experience. I find masters better.

      • jjcf on 08/08/2014 - 10:47

        It seems really random. At the checkout, it listed the discount for a Hitatchi 1700w router and a cheapie Bosch 400w sander, but not the (house brand) 909 thicknesser.

        I dunno whether they are being misleading or just rubbish at the internet.

      • tomy910 on 10/08/2014 - 16:32

        I got this $318 for $254 at Oxenford store in QLD. Also bundled it with the $50 impact driver that went down to $40 because of the 20% discount

  • whitey on 08/08/2014 - 10:09

    If you see something that you think should be discounted that isn't, use the chat option.
    The compressor I listed above was not on either the exclusion or the 20% off list. After a quick chat with Daniel he sorted it out and I got the discount. Great service Dan!!

    • berger on 08/08/2014 - 14:57

      since when can discounts be combined?

  • kapone on 08/08/2014 - 10:14

    Definitely would have picked up some tools if their range was bigger.

    I'm fine without Makita, Bunnings largely carries budget models specially made for them anyway, so I get my Makita tools elsewhere.

    Hitachi and Bosch Blue tools are great but the selection at Masters is just too limited, and poorly priced.

    Hitachi make great routers, yet the one they're best known for (M12VE) isn't carried by Masters. Bosch Blue also has some tools where they are known to make the best (short of Festool), particularly their jigsaws and random orbital sanders, however Masters don't carry these.

    Looking for a thickneser/planer? They have their 909 brand one, but that's it. Contractors table saws? Go elsewhere.

    Better off sticking to Sydney Tools and sales at Total Tools.

    • heathwithnoteeth on 08/08/2014 - 10:42

      is the Hitachi C10FCE2(H1) a decent mitre saw? was looking at either a Dewalt DW713 or a Makita LS1040, but this one with the discount works out a lot better price.
      I was kicking myself i had car trouble on the Total Tools 20% off storewide a few weeks ago, so could not make it… cheers

      • kapone on 08/08/2014 - 12:23

        Haven't used that one myself. The LS1040 (like pretty much all Makita mitre saws) is good performer, and most tradies preferred mitre saw. Dewalt stuff here in Australia tends to be overpriced (they are good, just not always worth the added cost).

        For the difference in price though, I wouldn't hesitate to get the Hitachi.

        • heathwithnoteeth on 08/08/2014 - 13:00

          Thanks for that

        • heathwithnoteeth on 08/08/2014 - 14:05

          @heathwithnoteeth: only thing stopping me pulling the trigger, is fathers day sales are just around the corner… must resist

        • kapone on 08/08/2014 - 19:13

          Last Fathers Day Master's seemed to have a few 'loss leaders' deals (that is, below cost or at cost items, designed to get people into the stores), mainly on their homebrand tools (909, Wesco, etc). No massive discounts on brand name stuff from memory though.

          I ended up picking up their 909 305mm Sliding Compound Mitre Saw for $150. It required tweaking out of the box to get it cutting straight, the dust collection is non-existant, and the blade it came with was awful, but at that price I couldn't knock it back (given the saw I wanted was $1000, which I didn't and still don't have the money for).

        • Moj0 on 09/08/2014 - 02:07

          @kapone: Whats your opinion on the 909 Sliding Mitre Saw? Ive been trying to compare it to the Ozito @ Bunnings. The table mitre locking mechanism on the Ozito feels alot more secure compared to the 909. Also wondering whether the huge price difference on something like a Makita or Hitachi is worth it. I imagine something this big may not be worth getting from Sydney Tools due to the shipping cost.

        • kapone on 09/08/2014 - 12:42

          @Moj0:
          To be honest, the only reason I bought it was because of the ridiculously cheap price. Saying that, the quality of the slide and locking mechanism impressed me, although the there considerable problems with the precision of the saw.

          Out of the box it was far from square, after adjusting it all, I could get it close to square (about 0.5-1 degree off). If there had been more movement in the fence adjustment I could have gotten it completely square. This should be able to be rectified by using a file to grind the adjustment slots of the fence to be a touch longer.

          As for precision of the bevel adjustment, again it required quite a bit of faffing about to adjust it (not helped by the fact that there were some errors in the manual, the adjustments on this saw are different from the other 909 mitre saws, but some info relating to the other saws seems to have slipped through).

          The depth adjustment has a bit of flex in it (however even the better brand name saws suffer from that). Definitely needs a replacement blade (I grabbed a Bosch Optiline, which does a great job for the price).

          I also made a zero-clearance insert out of plywood for cleaner cuts (use scraps against the fence at times as well for the same reason).

          The other thing I did to improve working with the saw, and save some money, was make a dedicated table for the saw out of plywood that sits on saw horses (similar to this: https://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xX13anTH78M/S6whA5gM-iI/AAAAAAAAA… ). This saved money on a dedicated saw stand, plus gave the benefit of full support for the material, and a solid fence for fixing stop blocks.

          If I hadn't come across it for that price I would have ended up eventually either:
          Buying a second hand Makita
          Buying a smaller Makita
          Or buying a new saw and putting it on the CC (would've gone either a 305mm Bosch Glide or the Makita LS1216)

          Personally I want a larger saw, but you can save quite a few dollars if a smaller saw will do the job for you (10" is enough for most people including tradies).

        • heathwithnoteeth on 09/08/2014 - 21:46

          @kapone:
          i am still umming and arring over the hitachi… i really need to cut a 90 x 18 skirt in vertical 45 degree mitre, and the max specs say 59 x 102… do you think i can do it? if i pack out the fence, so the cut is further away from the centre of the blade… cheers

        • kapone on 09/08/2014 - 21:56

          @heathwithnoteeth:
          I reckon it should do if you pack it out, but would recommend going into a store to double check on the real thing.

        • heathwithnoteeth on 09/08/2014 - 22:22

          i really like the look/feel of the dewalt dw713, so will see if i can get it at discount. vek tools have it for $349, so will try and get the big green shed to match the price. shame masters dont stock that.

        • Moj0 on 10/08/2014 - 23:55

          @heathwithnoteeth: Thx for the reply kapone. Heathwithnoteeth, i would be interested to know what the Dewalt's like if u end up getting one. Is that the 10" sliding compound mitre?

          Jus wanted to add to this, im currently using a Ryobi 10" sliding compound mitre saw that i borrowed off a friend. Its a few yrs old & i found the table isn't accurate(eg. its not 90deg when the angle measurements indicates it is). Also found the 45deg mitre isnt quite at 45deg. Ive had to to spend abit of time calibrating it. I also dont quite like the locking mechanism on this saw so Ryobi's off the list too.

        • heathwithnoteeth on 11/08/2014 - 10:35

          @Moj0: the one i was looking it is non-sliding. the 10 inch sliding one can be bought for around $750, but you can get the 12 inch for around $880, so worth going for that in my opinion.

        • heathwithnoteeth on 19/08/2014 - 16:51

          @Moj0: i ended up getting a second hand DW713XE for $150… it is a really nice saw. now to find a cheap stand.. i missed out on a dewalt one on evilbay that went for $107.

        • Moj0 on 19/08/2014 - 17:21

          @heathwithnoteeth: Great. The DeWalt looks solid. Let me know wot u think of it. I would still prefer one with a sliding compound function but thats only a minor difference.

          Ve $375 at sydney tools
          Se $237 at masters

        • kapone on 08/08/2014 - 13:30

          Depends on the sort of work you're using it for.

          If you're furniture-making you want to have variable speed. Depending on the species of wood, the direction/characteristics of the grain, the cutter being used, etc, you would want to alter the speed to ensure a clean and burn free cut.

          If that's not a big issue for the type of work you do, then $237 is a good price for a very solid and powerful router.

      • FirstNameLastName on 09/08/2014 - 10:49

  • Hmeeks on 08/08/2014 - 10:34

    10% price beat makes $763.20
    Then the 20% discount makes $610.56

      I ordered mine after midnight this morning. Got SMS and email at 11:00 am to pickup at Oakleigh South.

      Happy, got a bench grinder and some Dremel stuff.

    Got a panasonic drill driver 14.4v EY 7441 LE2S 1.5ah today from Williams landing for $159.20. Was on clearance for $199 plus 20% off equals BARGAIN…… All I have to do is upgrade the batteries.

    Just ordered 2x 14.4v 3.3 AH batteries with click and collect. Batteries are on special for $50 each then got 20% off so they became $40 each. Double bargain. Now on the look out for a impact driver skin!

      Very nice, I got 2 of the $40 dewalts with 2 of the 14.4v 1.5ah batteries for a total of $176.

    • Bargain Chaser on 10/08/2014 - 22:35

      $48 per battery for the 14.4v 1.5ah

      • bargainhuntaa on 11/08/2014 - 19:50

        The batteries were $75 each. 20% less is $60 how did you get it for $48?
