Was wandering the aisles at the local Masters and came across this ripper deal for some really good quality tools. On paper, the specs for these compare very favourably to trade quality products (same parent company that own Dewalt etc).

All previous research on the Fatmax power tool range suggests that these are simply re-branded Porter Cable tools with a different colour scheme. (grey and red vs black and yellow)

Selected stores confirmed to have discounted pricing so far are:
- Knoxfield
- Box Hill
- Preston

This may be due to those stores currently being refurbished however other people maybe able to take advantage of this pricing elsewhere using the online delivery option?

As the standard drill and impact driver sell for $249 @ Masters, this 4 piece kit is worth the extra $50 for the 2 extra two bare tool skins (angle grinder and reciprocating saw) which sell individually for $129 and $119 respectively.

Includes high performance 18v Li-Ion Compact Drill Driver FMC600D2
Includes high performance 18v Li-Ion Compact Impact Driver FMC645D2
Includes high performance 18v Li-Ion Small Angle Grinder FMC761B
Includes high performance 18v Li-Ion Reciprocating Saw FMC675B

Remember to combine with Cash Rewards WISH gift cards for another 5% off total.

  • kimba88 on 25/03/2015 - 21:46

    If anyone has a receipt floating around for these, could you please post it up? I'm wondering whether a Sydney Matsers store would price match it?

    • allergic2work on 25/03/2015 - 22:34

      Why not try setting your postcode as one of the above stores and then using delivery? Would that "trick" the masters systems for the discounted price?

      • kimba88 on 25/03/2015 - 22:35

        I've already tried that. No luck.. it just readjusts to the full price :-(

    Great find, Thanks.
    Full price at Oakleigh South and Keysborough stores (Vic). Will try for direct price match using website printout, as this has worked in the past, even from Sydney stores (they don't 10% price beat themselves unfortunately)

  • pork chop on 25/03/2015 - 21:59

    Noob question. Is the actual tool twice the quality of the 909 kit for $120?

    • mr kindface on 25/03/2015 - 22:15

      Bought one of the 909 kits a while ago, returned instantly.

    • dosada on 25/03/2015 - 22:19

      At least. 909 is similar to the Kmart quality

    I want these, but I already have Ozito versions of them. Damn it!

    • allergic2work on 25/03/2015 - 22:31
      +4

      Depends on how often you use your tools and the duration of each use too. Also your ozito tools might not be as powerful as these meaning you simply cannot do some jobs that these will breeze through. I've totes justified your new purchase now, thank me later.

      • FabMan on 26/03/2015 - 00:16

        Haha, cheers!

      If
      Green Bosch - potentially, as the Green stuff is a bit meh, and you get a bit of extra kit in this one
      Blue Bosch - the Fat Max would be an instant downgrade!

    dam. good combo but no monies.

  • TailsK on 25/03/2015 - 23:46

    How do the drills compare to the Ryobi One drills you can get?

    • btxy on 25/03/2015 - 23:52

      Ryobi is DIY， Stanley Fatmax is trade quality tools

      • Keeno on 26/03/2015 - 00:49

        These days if I was wanting to buy a "Trade Quality" cordless drill, I would only look at brushless drills.

        • allergic2work on 26/03/2015 - 09:26

          why would you for the extra money that brushless demands, unless you're a tradie and need the extra longevity with the batteries and a smidge more power.

          for the price of a brushless drill, here you're getting two trade quality tools that are heaps better but priced similar to other home use tool brands? ie - bosch green, ozito, 909, rockwell…

  • dontpanic on 26/03/2015 - 02:14

    God I hate these Masters deals. Absolutely useless to us inner-Sydney OzBargainers… wouldn't even know where the nearest one is. I'd probably need my passport just to get to one. Bunnings on the other hand - theres at least four within 15 minutes drive… where's the Bunnings love???

    :(

    Also, I don't know whether I approve of this variable pricing according to postcode…

    • pax on 26/03/2015 - 08:58

      Chullora unfortunately.

      I drive past 3 Bunnings stores to get to my nearest Masters.

      Forget even thinking about Mitre 10

  • EightImmortals on 26/03/2015 - 07:18

    What's an 'Impact Driver' do?

    • pax on 26/03/2015 - 09:01

      Fits all your screwing type bits (flat, philips, etc) into it, and takes adapters to connect socket heads, etc.

      Great to have side by side with the drill so you don't need to keep swapping attachments after you drill a hole to attach your joint together.

    • allergic2work on 26/03/2015 - 09:21
      +4

      an impact driver also generally has more torque than a drill (in this case 180nm impact driver vs ~51nm drill) so for things like screwing together two pieces of timber, its great as it has the power to do so without pre-drilling

    • ESEMCE on 26/03/2015 - 15:56
      +1

      Think of it like a hammer drill but instead of hammering in and out, it "hammers" in a circle. The effect is that you get more torque and therefore tighter screws.

    • Davo1111 on 27/03/2015 - 12:22

      basically it has a single size chuck that you can mount drill bits & sockets into

      It means you get heaps of torque, and many times you can drive in screws etc without pre-drilling, or stripping the heads.

      • EightImmortals on 28/03/2015 - 13:01

        Hey thanks for the replies, so basically a really strong cordless drill. I've been using my bosch drill for screwing things together so I might look into an impact driver as well. If anyone buys the kit and doesn't the impact driver let me know. :)

        • Davo1111 on 28/03/2015 - 13:06

          so basically a really strong cordless drill.

          yep, and the chuck is a non adjustable hex socket.

          It's hard to justify an impact driver if you're not doing a lot of screwing.

        • EightImmortals on 28/03/2015 - 13:27

          @Davo1111:

          I somtimes do a lot of screwing. :)
          But I have the other three tools so it's not worth me buying the whole kit.

        • Davo1111 on 30/03/2015 - 11:57

          @EightImmortals:

          "skins" come up every so often. Just need to make sure they're compatible

  • zombie hunter on 26/03/2015 - 09:18

    These are re skinned Porter Cable tools, you can generally find reviews on Amazon for the equivalent normally marketed as 20v there..

  • Steptoe on 26/03/2015 - 11:19

    Shame it's not a Hammer Drill also.

  • spacejase on 26/03/2015 - 12:41

    Out of stock at all three stores.

    • allergic2work on 28/03/2015 - 09:01

      home delivery at knoxfield store still appears to be available…

  • gtr33m on 28/03/2015 - 09:15

    Which store is home? Is it $299? I'm very interested if I can get one.

  • gtr33m on 28/03/2015 - 09:57

    Only works if you live in knoxfield or it's tour closest store. None in store or click and collect. I somehow don't you'd get it delivered if they don't have any in store, but is be happy of I was wrong.
