I picked one of these up a few weeks ago at full price.
seems pretty good, $12 is an absolute bargain
looks good -
is this one any better - 36 piece from craftright

any thoughts??
Craftright is the bargain bin line, Trojan is mid range
Both are cheap kits but will meet most DIYers needs. I'd have a look at both while in store and choose that way.
Disregard the saving the Trogan has and base it on what best suits.
Also don't forget Repco has 45% off tool kits this weekend so that might be worth a look.
Trojan come with a lifetime guarantee, whatever that means these days.
I bought the 177pce mechanics tool set years ago from them and it has been awesome when I need to pull out the tools to get something done. I've probably had it for 10 years and it's still good as new.
Thanks OP. Nothing like a cheap screw.
i do like a slow comfortable screw myself, but unfortunately some people are void of humour and neg you for such comments …
I prefer to nail things, I do it hard and fast to really get it in there.
Still using the Stanley deal a few months back for $19 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/206185 and happy with it!
I really only have experience with Stanley screwdrivers, how do they compare? Anyone knows?
I only have the "yellow and green" set of Stanley, not the "yellow and black" set post a few months ago.
I am absolutely happy with them as they take whatever abuse that I gave.
Bought this set just because I do not want to bring around the same set between the house and the standalone workshop/garage.
The fiskars are a bargain. At $10 a steal.
Gotta love the description of the Trojan set.
“Used for driving screws or bolts with special slots, and sometimes for rotating other machine elements. ”
Good to know they are “Also suited for fastening and unfastening screws.”
“Ideal for home improvement, DIY, handyman and construction use” covers all bases
But what can they really say in their product description?
'A great all round screw when you really need one.'
'With a premium handle, this is one mean Trojan screw'
…I'll let myself out.
+1 for Fiskars, they make the best gardening tools
Does Bunnings have click and collect? As i don't want to go there and they don't have the stock.
Nah you have to ring them but it's in the Paper today so I'm sure they have stock
Ok then, thank you!
All large and Medium Fiskars Sold out at Bunnings Coburg VIC. These are gonna sell like hot cakes.
Tojan looks better than CR in person. Fiskars sold out everywhere I'm sure.
Picked up one of these fir $15 at chatswood. 4 left. Not sure if available elsewhere. Probably not the best but for the price hard to resist. See below
That was $15?
Sure was
Bargain
Cheaper than the blades….
Picked a set up today, thanks Trent!
A good range of sizes in there and while the rubber is not really premium it is great for the price.
Has anyone actually ever had a screwdriver break? And I imagine it would be pretty hard to strip the head of it (this is in regards to people arguing about warranty on screwdrivers).
They rarely break unless you use it as a lever or hammer on the handle which probably isn't civered anyway. Shitty sdrivers jyst strip screws.
Speaking of which, I have a set of Stanley (yellow, green hard plastic ones) and abused them all the time - prying, chiseling and everything not limited to screwing. They are just unwilling to give up.
Thanks and bought. The Swivel-heads on the precision ones are not as smooth as Stanley.
thanks op. purchased. great find.
Bought a set on Thur from the Taren Point store, there were plenty on the shelf. For $12, can't really complain but it's not the quality as my Stanley set. But then again, the Stanley cost triple the price almost.
picked up a set this morning, thanks op :) saw one more on the shelf at Homebase
Great deal, thank you very much.
