Came across these on Bunnings home page absolute bargain considering the usual retail on these kits.

The hedge trimmer is usually over $239 from memory.

Seems like a nation wide deal but confirm with your local store.

Ignore the ticketed price it will scan up as $90 at the register

I just looked at masters and they have a large range of blowers, many at the same price as this promotion and seem to have good reviews too.

It might be 70% off but for those not invested in the Ryobi ecosystem this might not be such a good bargain? The hedge trimmer with only 1.5ah battery also concerns me as an old one I had would last 2min.

  Can't find one Blower around the same value. You really need to post links to examples.
- StonedWizard on 03/01/2016 - 12:32
  
  I don't think you can go wrong with the Ryobi ecosystem especially for the price of the tools. Especially since nobody knows whats going to happen to Masters in the next year or so.

Don't buy these battery powered devices or you will be stopping your gardening every 10 mins for 1+ hours to recharge.

  Not the case, I have the reciprocating saw and it lasts about half an hour on one battery cutting through tree branches etc

Still looking for that $20 blower deal. Yeah, that doesn't sound right.
- Elision on 03/01/2016 - 12:09
  
  I saw 3 $20 blowers at Masters in "the links" shopping center in Oakleigh South. (VIC)
  
  I thought it was a pricing error or something, but they looked like they were some kind of no-name brand. Cheap though.

Thanks OP. I was wondering what people's thoughts would be on this drill kit
http://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-one-18v-hammer-drill-kit_p6…

I'm in need of drill kit (moved into a house a few months ago, been holding out for a good drill deal). My friend told me I should get one with a hammer function if my walls are brick? Any better deals than the above?

Thanks in advance guys!!

  If you only have the money for a low end drill, and particularly if you plan to drill through things like concrete/brick/cement, then I recommend buying a corded variant. All the drill bits there are cheap shitty ones, typically found in a $20 set. You can pick up Makita/Dewalt/AEG/Bosch corded drills for $200 which will blow that Ryobi out of the water.
  
  I started out with the base model Makita (similar to what you listed in terms of power) and soon realised if I wanted to use it for concrete/brick/cement, then i'd need the higher up model. I now have this http://www.bunnings.com.au/makita-18v-lxt-mobile-brushless-h… which is a beautiful drill but obviously well outside your budget.
  
  The Ryobi would probably get you there (in the end), but really struggles punching through concrete. I wouldn't buy that particularly set regardless as i've seen the drill/impact combos way cheaper before and I absolutely love my impacts drivers. I use it more than my drill i'd say.
  - choister on 03/01/2016 - 08:29
    
    Thanks Yekul. I noticed that the Makita you mentioned is also cordless? Any particular recommendations on a drill set?

How long does it take to fully charge one of those batteries?
- bargaino on 03/01/2016 - 09:40
  
  -2
  
  Define "full". Li-Ion can get to 50% or even 80% very quickly, but charging gets slower as it gets fuller.
  So a small change to their cut-off point makes a big difference to nominal charge time.

Thanks op just got one!!! Crazy value! Another addition to my one+ collection. Actually have the previous version blower, interested to see how much better this one is.
- Goldberg on 03/01/2016 - 08:03
  
  Same here, I have the original Blower, so will give the new one a go later on. I mainly bought it for the batts, the unit is just a bonus :)

    Definitely worth the (free) upgrade! This new model is slightly bigger, longer and weightier. The switch is in a much more accessible spot and there is a very noticeable kickback when turning it on, that wasn't present with the older model. Moves gravel and small stones alot easier now!

  Sorry,but that's not fully correct. I've just been to Bunnings and bought all 3.
  
  RRP for each:
  
  Hedge trimmer - $239
  Blower - $199
  Line trimmer - $149
  - unity1 on 03/01/2016 - 09:43
    
    That was the price on the shelf at the store I went to. Maybe different stores have different prices.
    - Top G on 03/01/2016 - 11:50
      
      Yeh line trimmer for $149 seems about right. From the reviews it seems to be the worst one from the 3 mentioned.
    - rlay3 on 03/01/2016 - 16:03
      
      The newer model line trimmer is $229. If you somehow bought this one for $90 then congrats to you.
- tekken on 03/01/2016 - 14:35
  
  The $239 trimmer is a different kit, with a 4.0AH battery instead of a 1.5AH. The 1.5AH kit is indeed $149.
tekken on 03/01/2016 - 07:41

I'm seeing a few comments regarding the blower, regarding 'the 5 volt battery'. The wording suggests that it doesn't come with ANY battery. It specifically says, if you already own a 5 volt battery, you can use it in this.

Confirming the kit includes a 5.0ah batt and 2.8 hour charger. Anyone in Canberra, there is a pallet load at the front entrance of the Belconnen store.
Many thanks OP 👍
- StonedWizard on 03/01/2016 - 09:33
  
  Should be the fast 1 hour charger in the kit.

    - StonedWizard on 03/01/2016 - 10:10
      
      Oh right that is the fast charger, just takes 2.8 hours to charge the 5.0ah battery.
- Dominus on 03/01/2016 - 09:57
  
  Also to confirm for Belconnites, they only have the Blower and Line Trimmer (both are at the front of the store)…no Hedge Trimmer in stock unfortunately
Noddy Doldrums on 03/01/2016 - 07:54

I bought the Line Trimmer kit on the 26th December for $229. Im a bit gutted that it is now $90. However…. my kit didn't come with a 1.5ah battery BUT with 2 X 4ah batteries …had a red sticker on the front pointing out it came with a bonus battery.
Im not sure what I have has the same SKU as the Line Trimmer with the 1.5ah battery because of this. If they do then I could try buying it again and return it later with the old receipt.

They still had 4 or 5 of these 2 battery Line trimmer kits at the country store I purchased from. Wonder if they will drop to $90.

  That kit still scans at $229, would have been nice if it was $90! Picked up the 1.5ah variant as my cheap petrol line trimmer died yesterday half way through doing my lawn. I have a couple more 1.5ah batteries from drills so hopefully it's enough.

  You want your cake and to eat it as well don't you! Different fineline and no you can't do what you said. Your trimmer is not $90, you received two batteries that would cost around $100 each in your package.

  I just bought that 2x 4aH line trimmer pack for $90. It scanned at $229 but the guy discounted it. He also said they were running a promotion where you get a bonus battery, so they gave me a 5aH battery too. I feel like a winner today.

Just came back from my local Bunnings (Rydalmere, NSW) confirmed $90 for each of them.

Stocked level not looking good base on what i saw and left on shelf.

line trimmer 5-6
hedge trimmer 1
cordless blower 3

Bought 2 blowers since the battery by itself already cost more than $130.

Thanks OP.
sal78 on 03/01/2016 - 08:41

we already have the blower n line trimmer. Can someone advise if the battery for cordless hedger is powerful enough? we use corded hedger which has lasted yrs just because hedging takes a lot longer than edging and its annoying if battery runs out midway.

looks like we have to buy the line edger for the better battery and the hedger? but then we will have two edgers?
- StonedWizard on 03/01/2016 - 08:50
  
  You get a 1.5ah with the hedger. It's good for about 10 - 15 minutes.

  It will fit and give you more run time and power especially. Only downside is that it is more bulky and heavy.

I bought a combination line trimmer and blower Ryobi kit 2 year ago. The line trimmer was pretty dinky but I loved using the blower. It lasted about a month before the line trimmer stopped working. Got a refund from Bunnings.

I have recently considered getting a 36 or 56v line trimmer. I think the extra power would be worth the extra expense.

  The closest that may have had 4 in stock was Alexandria but I wasn't going there.
  Kirrawee did however have a pallet of blowers and I duly picked one up 'for the battery'. Having said that, it sure does pack some wind.

  Why not do the right thing and sell your kit on ebay and buy the Ryobi kit outright. Taking the advice of others to intentionally break the product so you can return it is fraud and costs us all more at the checkout.
