    I like Bunnings, but once in a while when they bring prices down to compete with ALDI, I wonder how much they are ripping us? Competition is good for consumers but no competition hurts.

  • gimme on 17/05/2018 - 21:14

    Never thought anout sharpening a drill bit yet getting a strong urge to buy. Be strong saying to myself.

    Yep. Wish Masters stayed open longer and gave Bunnings a stiffer competition which would have been a big win for the paying public. Alas. It wasn't meant to be.

    Sigh… am missing Masters quite a bit. The store really had great quality products and even surpassed some of Bunnings' offerings.

      Masters never had a chance to compete with Bunnings.
      I remember every weekend driving by a masters there would be almost empty car park, where as driving by a bunnings its always full.

      Also what I found is that every single Masters i went into were always staff who were teenagers or didn't know anything. Walking down an isle you are likely to be harassed by 2+ staff asking if you needed any help, because i think they used a commission/bonus system.

      So they would keep harassing you and if you picked up something of high value, they would walk by chat with you then write their initials on it.

      Remember they failed because of a reason, and it wasn't Bunnings fault, just their own management's fault.

      • Duck Mode on 18/05/2018 - 01:49
        +11

        I used to work for masters. The only people who got commissions were the staff in appliances. The reason why you were descended upon was because we were trained and constantly encouraged to emphasise the customer service pretty hard. Or maybe you looked like you were going to steal something :p

        • Munki on 18/05/2018 - 09:49
          +6

          That is seriously one thing I liked about Masters. They had visible staff on the floor to help out customers. At Bunnings, I damn near have to sprint to a staff member if I spot them because I know about 7 other people are going to do the same and they're walking at breakneck paces to get to wherever. It's frustrating trying to get help sometimes at Bunnings. Guess they really stress the "Warehouse" experience.

      • xmail on 18/05/2018 - 07:38

        The staff were just bored and trying to justify their job. It's pretty depressing working for a failing company with no customers. The writing is on the wall constantly and you do what you can to convince yourself you aren't redundant.

      • resisting the urge on 22/05/2018 - 08:48
        +1

        @Iplau; They had lots of chance, they just took too long:

        • Getting started, establishing store locations (Bunnings had the good locations sewn up)
        • Setting up stores, and finishing all the important things like
          • Business Plan
          • Marketing Plan
          • Online stores
          • Operating Plan
          • Getting their CX figured out

        What a bunch of boof-heads. Any manager left in Woolies that was a strategic part of that fiasco is a liability. Unbelievable that none of the competition stood up to the challenge to take over part of the Masters chain, and make it work. Given that it would have shown up how poorly Woolies managed masters, it was probably why they chose to liquidate rather than sell. [What other retail company would link its registers together in the cloud and have it all go offline to the point they have to shut shops as they can't even complete sales for customers standing in their queues? They didn't even mitigate single points of failure, and failed to manage risk in their operational architecture].

        Now Bunnings is now acting like; 'all your house belong to us'

  • The Magic Pudding on 17/05/2018 - 21:44

    This would be good if it worked.
    Thirty years ago I had a plastic thing with a grinding wheel in it that attached to a drill, I had no success with it.
    I do use a lot of <3mm drill bits.

    • outlander on 18/05/2018 - 04:56

      with the price of drill bits now (10 for $3 on ebay) sharpening hardly seems worth the time

      • GregMonarch on 18/05/2018 - 14:25
        +1

        Yeah but what's the quality like. Cheap matters zip if you snap one with every hole you drill. e.g. I've bought discounted drill bit sets that looked like quality, but melted and twisted in half leaving the front half jammed in the hole, while drilling pilot holes in old fence palings. Then I've gone and bought Irwin bits to replace them, and as long as I let them cool between holes, they lasted.

        • outlander on 18/05/2018 - 15:28

          Sure, for the larger sizes I totally agree. I had a cheap chinese screw drill bit that literally unscrewed itself when the head got stuck and the rest kept twisting.

    Argh - I bought one of these last week….
    It actually works quite well. I sharpened half a dozen bits with it to test.
    The grinding wheel inside is replaceable, so I might go grab a couple of these as it would be cheaper than just a replacement wheel!
    Thanks OP.

  • farknos on 18/05/2018 - 08:37

    i have had one of these for a few years, its crap, if it weighed more it could be a boat anchor.
    yes it sharpens the drill bit and changes the angle of the face but the drill bit with its new angle is useless.

    • Frankly Frankie on 18/05/2018 - 11:38

      This. Agreed. This unit has a fixed angle. Bits have various angles depending on their purpose.

  • turbodude on 18/05/2018 - 08:53

    I have tried a number of cheap drill bit sharpeners including a $100 one from Hare & Forbes (https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/D070?gclid=Cj0KCQjw0PTXBRC…) which looks the same as heaps of eBay ones and they have all been aweful. The H&F one totally ruins the angles on most bits & if I had bought it I would have thrown it in the bin. I know it is not in the same league in terms of price (about $200) but I picked up a used Drill Doctor 360X (eg https://www.totaltools.com.au/brands/drill-doctor/65291-dril…) and have to say it is brilliant. It is rare for me to rave about a tool but I actually look forward to sharpening bits now.

    • [Deactivated] on 18/05/2018 - 09:42
      +1

      The generic total tools bit sharpener isn't bad either on anything but the biggest bits.

      Inspired by using one I also bought a barely used drill doctor 750X for $100 and a spare grinding wheel off
      bicwarehouse on eBay for $25au.

      P&N/Sutton HSS quality cost real money ,
      but gumtree can be your friend for finding boxes full of quality bits
      and if you have a decent sharpener or a bench grinder and YouTube you're set.
      Of course the next step is a drill press..

    • [Deactivated] on 21/05/2018 - 10:02

      I've seen videos of the Drill Doctor.

      I suspect the big difference is that the sort of 'eccentric' swivel motion while sharpening bits (with the 360) creates relief where as others just leave a constant taper.

      Wondering if you'd agree turbo'…? On hearing your comment (thank you) I'm leaning towards looking out for a 360'.

  • jamestas on 18/05/2018 - 09:41

    Got one thanks, still 6 left at Mornington store in Tassie - up high in storage so you have to ask, not on the shelf.
    For that price it's worth giving it a go on some tired good quality bits I have

    Cheers

    • team teri on 18/05/2018 - 20:23

      I can't compare to other options, but it did the trick on the two very blunt drill bits I tried it on. Did a test drill into a spare bit of softwood and they went in about 4 times as fast after sharpening.

      Admittedly I blunted the drill bits drilling metal and haven't checked out whether they are any good for that now.

      • [Deactivated] on 18/05/2018 - 20:45

        Easy for softwood ,
        but do they drill into metal ,
        or are youse all excited over nothing
        ???.??????

        • team teri on 18/05/2018 - 22:31

          They didn't drill well into softwood before sharpening. I have no scrap metal lying around to try them out on.

  • kirath on 18/05/2018 - 19:21

  • BobD on 21/05/2018 - 09:12

    I bought 3. Cheaper than replacement grinding wheels if you can buy them or I'll use them as Christmas presents.
