    From your post, it doesn't seem like a freebie? It's conditional on a purchase.

    • tygarbyte on 07/11/2014 - 10:24

      sorry - yes - condition is that once item is purchased it can not be returned. From reading the T/C.

  • Obey on 07/11/2014 - 10:20

    Cool, hoping for the best. If not, it was still a cheap screwdriver I guess.

    Two important conditions:
    - Promotion ends on 18th Nov. 2014 or when stock is out.
    - RS reserves the right to change the free gift at any time.

    Nothing says they can't make it an almost-worthless gift at any time, or just not supply it altogether. Still, hope it works out either way.

  • Tihocan on 07/11/2014 - 10:31

    1. RS reserves the right to change the free gift at any time.

    I can almost guarantee this will happen!

    • janeymac on 07/11/2014 - 12:52

      Interesting. I was going to place an order, but couldn't finish the transaction. Maybe this is a sign! lol

      • OrbDaggerZ on 07/11/2014 - 13:30

        I also had trouble with placing an order, when I got the error message I just refreshed the page and it work and continue to next step, then got a few other different errors after that, just retype the required info or refresh page.

        Its a bit of a hassle with signing up with all info they want.

        I have dealt/ordered with them before, very happy with their service, would deal with them again.

        Let's see what happens, good luck.

        And thanks OP.

        Don't worry, I could see it was sarcasm :) (He never actually negged it guys)

        It's definitely hard to convey that in a comment though.

  • abc on 07/11/2014 - 10:40

    How much is the socket set worth?

  • unity1 on 07/11/2014 - 10:40

    So if the screwdriver is OS does that mean no freebie?

    Free Product doesn't say what it is and the photo's blank. They could send anything as the free product, why would they send me a socket set?

    Even at the checkout all it says is "Free Product" and a blank photo. Did they remove it?

  • damion on 07/11/2014 - 10:41
    +1

    Any description of the socket set?
    1/4" ? piece-count?

    As much as I love free things, I don't have room for 2 socket sets in my rapidly shrinking garage.

  • adpaholic on 07/11/2014 - 10:42

    i have 2 cables like this http://www.dicksmith.com.au/tv-video-cables/tv-fly-lead-cabl…

    i want to find a connector from their website so i can use it to connect this 2 cables.

    but fail to find it, anyone have idea which one should be?

    • techpoida on 07/11/2014 - 10:49

      Maybe like this: http://au.rs-online.com/web/p/tv-aerial-connectors/0531699/
      Looks like they come in packs of 10 but still cheap!

      • doperst on 07/11/2014 - 11:09

        They are $2.98 each, in a pack of 10. So $30 in total.

        adpaholic, you can buy this one:
        http://au.rs-online.com/web/p/tv-aerial-connectors/7492490/
        It will look ugly but should do the job.

        • Click_It on 07/11/2014 - 11:18
          +1

          Does he want to split the 1 cable to 2 outs? If not I'd strongly advise against a splitter as it'll tax signal quality (albeit not greatly). If I were still in Sydney I'd join them for him using F-Type compression plug (the best option) for the price of a beer.

          That standard adaptor first mentioned will be the simplest. These can also be bought on eBay or Jaycar dirt cheap, I have some lying around in a box, think I paid about $3 for a dozen years ago. I wouldn't be holding out on getting the free socket set anymore so maybe just go eBay/Jaycar now.

        • doperst on 07/11/2014 - 11:37

          @Click_It: I don't think there will be any noticeable quality loss, especially with the digital TV signal.
          But you are right, it's better to buy a proper adaptor elsewhere:

        • techpoida on 07/11/2014 - 12:27

          Good pickup. I wasn't looking at the fact it was each. I did think for 10 that was a bit too cheap, so not so cheap after all!

    • Nitr0 on 07/11/2014 - 18:27

      The description or image is wrong on that item (probably the price to haha). The image is a pair of lock wire pliers. They twist when you pull the handle on the end.

      And snap-on sell them for alot less….

      It doesn't, not on the ordering system - they have no obligation to send you a socket set :( . It's only mentioned in the photo that tygarbyte posted at the top.

    what happened if they really change the free gift to something not useful?

  • King Tightarse on 07/11/2014 - 11:22

    I think they have changed it. The "free gift" is no longer showing as the socket set. It is blank now. Could be anything.

    • damion on 07/11/2014 - 11:23

      It was blank when I checked around 10:40

      • King Tightarse on 07/11/2014 - 11:31

        Right, it showed the socket set when I ordered but I just checked my invoice and it doesn't specify it, it just says "free gift" which now shows as blank.

  • mini2 on 07/11/2014 - 11:23

    Should be fine, if you click on "Range Overview" it says 1/4 socket set. Well, for now anyway.

  • cashless on 07/11/2014 - 11:25

    I can smell RS salesmen frantically searching Shopping Square to buy up a load of cheap tat @ $0.01 to "replace" the socket set.

    • Click_It on 07/11/2014 - 11:37
      +1

      I reckon about 5 people will get the socket set, the rest will get nothing or some bit of junk.

      I was pretty early on this but there'd still been 200 clicks so I was probably 30+ in line even then (15mins after deal posted) and expect I'll miss out too.

  • wildbill on 07/11/2014 - 11:28

    Couldn't help myself - placed order

  • [Deactivated] on 07/11/2014 - 11:29

    A pic of the socket set came up when I was checking out my cart. Ended up buying a snap blade knife. Thanks to CheapGit.

    Cross my fingers that they have enough socket sets!

    Some more info (I order from RS often):
    1. Listed price (for screwdriver etc) does not include GST
    2. Shipping is free but you need to be home to sign for it when courier delivers

    I ordered the same screwdriver, have actually been in the market to for one! Bonus socket set will come in handy as well! FYI I had the image of the socketset on checkout at 12PM, with everything in stock shipping 1 - 5 days. Thanks OP!

    • googolplex on 07/11/2014 - 12:34

  • xuqi on 07/11/2014 - 12:22

    By the way, screwdriver is in stock so it will be delivered tomorrow.
    The socket set is 1-5 days shipping which means it will probably be delivered next week.

    Yes, they will send courier twice and you have to sign for it twice.

    • eDust on 07/11/2014 - 15:08
