  Thems are a good hammer for that money.

    Can confirm, bought this for $6 in a previous sale, and definitely feels like a $40 hammer (low reverb, good weight, sharp claw)

  seeing more homebrand tools so less price matching …. it's nice if in melbourne to be able to get a price match and not have to mail order and pay postage. Metallurgy seems to be fairly good nowadays so even $6 hammer performs like a brand name $40 hammer. Bunnings seem to checking the Sydney tools prices more often, especially on Makita batteries …. probably just a matter of time before bunnings have the batteries with a different part number as an "exclusive" and also no more price match.

  Are they actually allowed to quote RRP? I thought on Ozbargain had to quote the price it is normally sold at.

  edit: Wayback machine indicates RRP was previously $69 not $99 and the Drill bit set W92864 was advertised for sale at $49, so a big saving off the previous price but RRP still bunkum.

  These muppets supposedly have a price match policy, yet will not even price match Bunnings or Masters!
  Deplorable pre-sales customer service, so you can only imagine what their post sales is like if you've an issue!

    I've bought all my tools through them and never had an issue… Was the price match thing because the part number was different at Masters/Bunnings? I think they're all like that.

      Computer manufacturers - HP for example - make multiple 'versions' of identical computers so that each major retailer can have their own model number for the same machine, then deny price matches because "it's a different model number".

        Yep. Bunnings have Paslode nail guns that are identical, apart from "DataDOT Technology" (Pfft)… and can charge what they want, without pricematch. I found-out the hard way. An upsetting, frustrating, time-wasting affair. I vowed not to shop at Bunnings for a while after that.

        They have that policy throughout their store. Everything from 5-packs as opposed to 6-packs (for example), to plants that are labelled differently. Smart move… to make their price-match a load of rubbish, and difficult for a potential customer.

  Protip: if you buy from Sydney Tools, use a throwaway email address, they send a LOT of spam.
