The $349 kit on the website is the brushless version, different to this one.
This is this kit: https://www.ryobi.com.au/power-tools/products/details/18v-on…
Still a great deal!
Stock levels pretty low Australia wide: https://nrby.in/bunnings/0227648
Apologies, don't know great detail about them, thought they were the same
I've got one on hold for me at Kirawee, NSW but didn't realise it's a brushed drill. If anyone wants it, it's under Patrick
I think $349 is the brushless kit. $100 is still good for home users.
just edited the post
This is not an HP kit.
Ticket says was $199
Very good price but the drill isn't a hammer drill so no good for masonry etc.
None at Alexandria that I can see :'(
Tried to price match at my local, no go :(

Merged from [VIC] Victa 82v Lawn Mower Kit $599 @ Bunnings, Oakleigh
Go to Deal
$100 less than earlier post and 5 sets in box
This is the oooonly electric one thats any good out of all of them
Ego is better, don't let the 82v fool you
Ego is only better because they still make them. Its a shame Briggs & Stratton went bankrupt when they did during covid, the victa is a better mower.
Given the second hand listings, 82V systems are the first ones to give up. Keep receipt!
Got mine for $50 with batt and charger missing. If I get to it I mount 4 Ozito usb adaptors to it and run the beast on 4 tool batteries!Mine have been bulletproof.
I use as a brush cutter in pretty dense bush.
Trimmer goes thru everything.
Chainsaw has tonnes of power.
Mower never stalls.
pull the electric motor off and put a Briggs and Stratton 5hp on it
Don't know if they still have them but Hoppers Crossing had 6 of them for $414 when we were in yesterday. I mentioned it on another post. At the back of the paint section in the central walkway..
Word of warning with the Victa 82v range, they are a discontinued line, they are a briggs and stratton battery that have a high failure rate and the batteries are really difficult to come by now. Mower cuts great but I'd stick clear of the 82v ecosystem as you'd be doing well to get 3 years out of the batteries (warranty is 2 btw)
I think people adapt another similar battery, dont they? Greenworks?
I think it depends on how much you pay. At full rrp they're probably not the best long term buy unless there is easier access to batteries. I've had 2 from my 80v system which don't charge due to being over drained… They were brand new in the box but I didn't open until 3yrs later.. Lol.. My bad. But same with all batteries. The ryobi 36v batteries are notorious for the battery error. You can sometimes revive them by taking off the battery cover and jumping then reset apparently. This hasn't worked for me though. That's said, non genuine 36v are about 100 bucks so not exactly going to send you broke. 82v generics however are a little challenging with different groves etc in the casings to stop using across different platforms.
Most over-drained batteries can be manually charged with a constant current power source if you can get to the terminal/cell level.
One of my Victa 82V batteries died just within the 2 year warranty period. Bunnings contacted Victa and they are sending out a new battery. It has been delayed though, so will take a couple of months for the replacement battery to arrive.
I wanted to get this mower a couple years ago and then Bunnings stopped selling it as Briggs & Stratton went bankrupt…I'd be concerned about any warranty or replacement parts. There also seems to be a problem buying new batteries (see whirlpool link below). I think there is a good reason these are on clearance
https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/3wjx7qn9At risk of being mocked by those who think everyone needs a steel deck, just buy a 36V Ryobi. I did, and haven't regretted it at all (it's also lighter and easier to move around)
Only 5 available?
I bought this 2 years ago (and the 82v line trimmer kit), a month ago one of the batteries died and none in Australia unknown time to get a new one (under warranty). Ended up returning the whole mower to Bunnings for refund and bought a 36v ryobi mower which I actually think is doing a better job than my 82v victa. The ryobi has a no load speed of 3600 rpm vs the victa with 2800rpm.
I have the 82v system and ryobi 36v. The victa is absolutely fantastic. So much power. I don't know why the product line hasn't been successfully in Australia. The Tesla of garden tools. Parts and batteries are a little hard to come by however I stocked up so am well covered. The batteries are available from the US as a Kobalt or Greenworks version which with some dremeling, will fit. In fact the 80v battery fits with some dremeling of the case too. Don't knock it until you've tried it. Ryobi warranty and support might give it the win overall but the 82v in my opinion is definitely the better system and product.
Speed vs Torque.
I have both systems and find the 82v is stronger. The ryobi trimmer is noisy whereas the victa is rather quiet and has superior build quality. My 36v mower stalls on thicker grass but absolutely no issue with the victa.Don’t buy any battery powered mower if you have Sir walter/ sapphire buffalo unless you like mowing every three days in summer. They are just not powerful enough for thick lush lawns
Which battery mowers have you tried?
Not personally but my FIL bought a 36v ryobi. Was so bad we as a family got together and bought him a victa 82v mower similar to above for big birthday present cost was around $900. Would bog down in slightly wet grass returned after 6 months as the battery had died. I now mow for them using my uncles early 90s built old Honda
I have Ego 56v and it absolutely loves my Sir Walter.
Don't buy Ryobi 36v, that couldn't get the job done.I have 100sqm of Sir Walter. I use the Victa 82v. No problems even with 1foot high grass. You just use the spare battery.
Briggs and stratton are not bankrupt. They're were bought by a private equity firm after they filed for bankruptcy a few yrs ago.
There are new batteries made in 2022 available i believe.
Part numbers are 1760426 for the 2.0 and 1760427 for the 4.0
Merged from Victa 82V Mower $414 Bunnings

3 left at Bunnings hoppers crossing.
Briggs and Stratton went into receivership throughout lockdown so this line was discontinued.keep in mind batteries can't be obtained anymore so life span of this mower will be limited to ~3 years
Another bargain destined for landfill
Bought mine for ~$700 in early 2017, use it weekly and still going strong (same battery). It lost the 'I' from the VICTA badging at the front but otherwise does the job.
What happens when the battery no longer holds charge?
@00: eBay seller has them here
Can also be purchased (here) plus postage for cheaper but admittedly it's a steep price for a battery only.
Mine's still okay for another Summer then I'll decide what to do.
@00: You can just get the cells replaced. Call around at battery and solar places to find one that does it
@Foodstamps: Should say too you wouldn't normally do this for most battery packs but the parts in these are quality and it makes $ sense to just replace the cells.
@00: You can make the greenworks 80v battery fit by making an extra groove in the side of the battery case. They are available for $180 at Costco.
https://www.costco.com.au/Home-Improvement/Tools/Tool-Access…@rawm: Positive. Here is one that someone has modified and selling:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/204087435828?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mk…@masuta: Boss.
Im a noob. How would one actually make this groove safely? Hammer and small/fine chisel?
@rawm: I would personally use a router but you could also use a Dremel. You could probably hand file it but it would be a slow process.
Here is a guide:
https://www.smartfamilymoney.com/use-greenworks-batteries-ko…@masuta: Thanks heaps, masuta - I don't have a Dremel but will look into this later in the year when my battery dies.
@King Tightarse: If your battery hastotally died then I would definately try to change the case over. Not sure if it will fit but worth a try! If you want to add more batteries to your system then I would be cutting grooves into the greenworks batteries. However recently there has been new stock of the Victa batteries listed on several mower shops, they are just more expensive than the greenworks.
Eg: https://bwmachinery.com.au/product/victa-82v-2-0ah-battery/@King Tightarse: Decisions, decisions…
- Buy a whole new electric mower ~$600
- Buy a Greenworks battery and add a groove somehow ~$180
- Buy a new Victa Battery ~$299
@rawm: I would absolutely buy the Greenworks ( and perhaps one of those Ozito dremels)
If your original battery is dead or nearly dead, then it would be simplest to just swap the plastic cases over.
If not, I would get busy with the dremel
That being said, if you are time poor or dont mind spending the extra $100, the Victa may be worth it for you as you would get a guarantee with it
Ha same here :) will be a shame when the battery eventually dies as it’s been a pretty good mower for my needs.
Also have this mower and it's a cracker. Batteries and spares are a concern because it never really took off here
What's the warranty on these, if it's 6 years like ryobi then worth it
It's not 6 years like Ryobi! Pretty sure it's 2years on the battery, but I wouldn't take the risk, especially if you can't get it replaced
Uh yeah 2 year on battery ruins it
The mower has 5 year warranty.
I have a feeling most people will be buying this for the battery for their existing Victa stuff and selling the mower for $50 on gumtree
Selling a discontinued battery-powered mower without a battery on Gumtree? 'Yeah-nah …'
Wonder if bunnings offers any support to people who purchased this previously. I spent 1k on the mower and whipper during covid.
Bought a genuine battery off ebay. Was 100g lighter than the original. Lasted about 6 months or 20 charges.
Will be going back to petrol
That battery doesn't sound very genuine. I have two batteries for mine and each is going strong after 3 years
Yo tams, what/when is 'during covid' supposed to mean? What seller did you buy that dud battery from 'off' Ebay? You should seek a refund or replacement for that dud battery.
For battery life, do not leave batteries in the shed. Heat is their enemy.
Maths does not add up. They say 2x 144Wh batteries, and 2Ahr each. … Oh I see, 82V is really only 72V (4x18).
So each battery is equivalent to 18V @ 8Ahr. Nice.Better specs on the box than normal. It is a 1200W brushless DC motor.
Also store them at 50% charge in the house if not using them regularly.
Good advice
Plenty of batteries available on eBay, and you can buy them new from Costco - https://www.costco.com.au/Home-Improvement/Tools/Tool-Access… - but note that you'll need to file away the plastic channel on the side because it's in a slightly different place to the Victa branded version. These 80v/82v units are sold under multiple brand names.
Just buy an electric and use an extension lead, I've been doing it for years and it's a non issue even on a very large property that takes 4 hours to mow each week.
Poor B&S, they've been in and out of all sorts of financial issues for decades.
corporate greed apparently.
Oh that's not good :(
Iconic brand.
Anyone had any luck in getting other stores to price match this?
Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones
Select from Amazon UK Warehouse - $440.30 + delivery3 left in stock for AU shipping.
Record low?
For me it shows AUD 489.88 Delivered - still lower than what Camels say for AU Amazon
No, I didn't post this in the Amazon AU thread as it is UK not AU.
Special orders from bunnings quoted just over 400. They have alot in stock.
So you got that price by calling up? Just your local store or how?
Did you call up a specific branch, ask for the special orders desk and ask for a special order on the 82V Victa?
Merged from Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus (128GB Wi-Fi) $750 in-Store Only @ Officeworks (Select Stores)
Go to Deal
Spotted the deal (clearance) at the local Officeworks (Southport, QLD). I assume there will be limited stocks as there is no information available on the website. It is roughly $150 cheaper than the last brand new deal.
Released in 2020, it is not the newest model available, but it is one generation older flagship model. Compared to the S8+ (which has the same chassis as S7+), if the extra processing power and fewer extra OS updates don't bother you, (for me, it does) I think it will be a good tablet to purchase.
s8 isn't OLED, besides, not all have access to Edu…
@Bargainbrother: The selling point of Tab Plus and Ultra for some is the OLED screen. Regular s7 and 8 with IPS screen is meh.
Acknokledged that. I will update information based on the website.
for me o/s update never important we will get custom f/w anyway. i wish they can come without o/s as option for cheaper, and then we can load our own o/s just like windows computer barebone

Go to Deal
Coupon Code: SNSOCT
The best deal I've ever seen for a high end graphics card if you are okay with buying used!
“3 Months return to base warranty.
EX mining card for one and half year. Tested working with no issues.
Oxidation on the fins of the radiator, some rust, dust and corrosion.
No original box, card only”
FYI, If anyone is checking it out.
Rust and corrosion in only a year and a half?? 😬😬
"Oxidation on the fins of the radiator, some rust, dust and corrosion"
Inspires so much confidence. Are we talking about GFX Cards or the Qantas Boeing fleet?
Presumably if all 4 cards were from the same miner, they could have been undervolted for optimal power consumption, and thus running at slightly lower temps. On the other hand, the mining rig could have been in a garage and be subjected fluctuations in the air if the garage isn't well sealed.
4 available / 2 sold in one hour
I didn't know the AMD cards were any good for mining.
18 months running flat out 24/7, now for sale for "cheap".
caveat emptor.
I wont buy a ex mining card just because of the crap they put everyone through the past 2 years,
Yeah, I'd take one off their hands for nuthin, that's it.
In case anyone is wondering what the Oxidation looks like:
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/qQkAAOSwr1xjUJvy/s-l1600.jpg
It's pretty gnarly.
Pffft!
Minor corrosion /s
Good price, but IMO better to wait 2 weeks to see what RDNA 3 looks like.
thats a killer deal if other stores honour
