Hitachi 18v Slide LiIon Grass trimmer or hedge trimmer bare tool $69 each plus shipping.
Note the Grass trimmer is the H4 model from 2012, current model is H5 but I don't know what the difference is, maybe the line spool? Suitable for light duty (grass) only.
Ideal for those who bought the Hitachi tool kits from Masters as I did.

Shipping for one item to Melbourne is ~$25, Sydney $38, but still makes these cheaper than other places and they are large items.
Hedge shears are around $150 to $170 elsewhere and the grass trimmer (H5) is $250 to $280.
Some of their other Hitachi 18v tools are also quite reasonable prices (compared to others) including:

Which may offset some of the shipping cost…
Lol I bought these exact 2 items the other day, and I have purchased quite a few other Hitachi 18v gear. The $10 led lamps are crap but everything else is quality. Have not received the hedge and grass trimmer yet though.
