Bigger discount! Much less product to choose from because we are running low on stock and want to clear it to make room for the next big thing.

It’s a whopping 40% off whatever is left in our Bosch Blue Collection.

Bosch GST18V-LI Jigsaw Skin - our price was $189 after discount $113.40
Bosch GHG660LCD Hot Air Gun - our price was $199 after discount $119.40
Bosch GST150CE Barrel Grip Jigsaw - our price was $239 after discount $143.40

Most items are already 20% off RRP. Be sure to buy quick, this won’t last!

    Bosch GCM10MX Chop & Mitre Saw $640 on your site or $389 after 40% off, you can buy it for $379 here http://www.thetoolstore.com.au/0601b29040.html or am I missing something?

      I'll reply as the answer may be embarrassing to the seller,
      but the RRP's they're quoting are from years ago when these were new models .
      Also many came in tool boxes with accessories not in basic form in a damaged cardboard box with no extra accessories.
      Don't get me wrong I just bought a heat gun because it is convenient,
      but all the accessories are expensive.
      The DeWalt at Bunnings is probably a better choice for most at about the same money ,
      with a hard tool case and plenty of attachments

      • [Deactivated] on 27/02/2018 - 20:10

        Got my heat gun today.
        It actually came in a case with two attachments.
        So have to eat my words a bit there.
        Nice bit of kit.

          is a little high compared to the competition?

        • AssociatedWakko @ Boxlots on 24/02/2018 - 12:00

          @Sleepyweasel: I’ve looked at this as a case where our price was significantly different. At the time of pricing we have researched a number of suppliers and used this as a base point. There are many different prices on offer and finding a set price has been difficult. As the case for this price showed it was now being offered much cheaper we made a decision to match / beat. The difference would need to be significant for us to consider amending our pricing.

    Are you sure this grinder -
    GWS 15-125 CITH has the correct photo ,
    because the Bosch website shows this model to have a different handle,
    a long trigger handle as on the larger GSW 24-230LV grinder.

    This may be a different model , a GSW 15-CI Perhaps
    And need further price adjustment.

    • AssociatedWakko @ Boxlots on 22/02/2018 - 17:48

      I will have someone check the accuracy of the photo but the dispatcher will use model number and part number to determine which item to send so it will match the written description.

      I’ve requested this be looked into for tomorrow morning.

      • [Deactivated] on 22/02/2018 - 20:27

        Yes well I would like to know ,
        because the long handled version sells for $249 at Total Tools,
        so if you took 20% off that it would be $200 and 40% off $200 is $120 ,
        or around 50% off the original price.
        I could afford to perhaps buy a third grinder from you for that.

          No, Boy Wonder is not a magistrate.

          My main issue with this self appointed wannabe magistrate is that he/she only trolls reps because he/she has learned that reps will generally remain professional and not bite back.

          The comments are repetitive and boring. If he/she really wanted to help rather than troll then they'd use the report button.

          If we all made ourselves magistrates and police officers that would be the equivalent of mod powers, we're being upstanding citizens/Ozbargainers.

          My point is that we can't all be police/mods. You or I can't make ourselves police/mods, there's a process to follow and not everyone is suitable. Nearly every time I go past a rug store there's a sign out the front declaring a closing down sale, sometimes this sign will be up for years. As an upstanding citizen it's not my place to go and pull down the obviously bogus sign.

          their is a fair amount of irony in posting comments that PJC is a troll for posting comments to reps, instead of using the report button.

          It's getting late and maybe I'm not explaining myself well. Boy Wonder will rarely (if ever) make a disparaging comment to anyone but a rep. Reps are easy targets and for this I consider him/her somewhat of a coward.

          Is that why the guidelines don't apply? PJC was offering advice politely to someone who came here to sell, but apparently hadn't noticed the format required to do that. The benefit of the doubt has gone given that they still haven't.

          FWIW - "Professional" means that the person makes money from the activity they are "professional" in. No more. Then what would I know, I am merely matriculated, civilised and attempting to be very nice.

          No, merely to point the fact out if someone new to the area is overheard saying " Look Dear, a sale, we had better get in quick".
          In such circumstances, what would you think of someone walking up to a person taking the time to let them know that the "sale" was no such thing and telling them to butt-out because the store owner was involved in making money?

          @OzBragain: It's not about playing police/magistrates/modes it's about following the guidelines, none reps follow the guidelines by including prices being a rep does not give you immunity, everyone needs to follow the guidelines and that includes reps too.
          A closing down sale is a marketing tactic which is just what it says a 'sale', the store isn't actually closing down, pulling down a sign is vandalism to private property and that would be being a police/magistrate/mod. if someone is actually doing something wrong talking to them about it is being an upstanding citizen, not pulling a sign down.

          Boy wonder (wonder boy sounds better) is not attacking the reps and he has not been name calling, he's talking to the reps about the guidelines.

          I haven't said reps don't need to follow the OzB guidelines. If reps don't follow the guidelines then the report button is the most effective way of rectifying the issue.

          A closing down sale is a marketing tactic which is just what it says a 'sale', the store isn't actually closing down

          Advertising a closing down sale when the store isn't actually closing down is misleading advertising and illegal. Rather than pull down their misleading advertisement I'd suggest we would be better off reporting them to the appropriate regulatory authority.

    Though the price is good for this table saw ,
