For some reason, this is cheaper in a kit than the tool only ($199). Battery and charger themselves are $79. I know, 1.3AH is pretty tiny, but at least the battery is light.
Note, my receipt is returning a line trimmer. Look in the sale section.
Ryobi model number is RLP1813. Bunnings I/N is 0088673, Barcode is 4892210173720.
Do you supply your own cheese too?
Goodness me, why not mention climbing up the tree and breaking the branches with your bare hands for free instead.
No need to climb with the one I posted, it extends to almost 3 metres… The Ryobi on the other hand, yes, you'd need to climb the tree.
But you still have to spend $27. My method is free.
Did you get it for free?
yes.
What about those who don't have one yet, can they get it for free?
maybe.
I genuinely don’t have a use case for these because I do actually just use a rusty hand saw for the branches I need to trim. Maybe if I had a large number of them to do then I’d invest in this. But for me I probably spend more time carrying the tree cuttings to the green waste bin than I do actually sawing through branches this thick. Definitely a good deal for the product though.
Not much more expensive than some good quality Fiskars loppers, anyone actually have experience with it? i used a great fiskars one for 20 years but it sticks now when it closes (it's not the two handled one, it's a pole pruner actually)
Wow, even cheaper than what I was comparing it to: https://www.bunnings.com.au/fiskars-powergearx-upx82-tree-pr…
Could you lubricate your old ones and bring them
Back to life?
lubrication was working for me for a while, but over time it's been less effective. Actually probably what it needs is disassembly and a good clean then grease, as up until now I've only been using wd40
Wd40 is a shitty lubricant and isn't what it's meant for.
@rbev: I should preface that the thing isn't mine, it's at my mums, and wd40 is the only thing she has. But yes.
Good for circumsising giants
I don't think you're a real doctor
Just turn your head and cough
He is a Doomsday doctor.
No gap and bulk billing available.
Don't do it if you are blind, or you will get the sack.
Super limited stock. None anywhere central Melbourne
Edit- location was oddly set to warnabool lol. Thanks op. Gonna go get this tmrw
I already got a Ryobi pole chain saw, do I need this?
I have the pole chain saw too. This is easier to control (lighter) and makes cleaner cuts, especially in sappy limbs.
I think the pole chainsaw is better for thicker limbs where visibility is better.
You are right I got it today and already removed many limbs from my neighbour's trees. Worked well it was almost fun.
Good luck finding stock…
Mine was hidden up high and not priced. My store seems to hide bargains like this.
The price is educed because they don't sell. They don't sell because they are hidden.
2 left on the shelf at Wollongong store this morning. The price wasn't labelled as $99 but scanned as $99 at the check-out
OK guys, still some at Ashfield NSW in garden tools opposite entrance: quite a way down the aisle on the left as you walk away form the entrance.
None at blacktown. 2 + a display at seven hills as at 12:05 pm
Thanks, picked up the last one from Alexandria, although they did still have a display unit available if anyone was interested
thanks picked up the last 2 at Nunawading. ..good XMAS present
Didn't find this at my local store but found something else that would be useful https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-18v-one-2-0ah-blower-and-h…
It's cheaper than the hedge trimmer kit alone but comes with a bonus blower
Just saw 4 at campbelltown
Few available at Hawthorn Bunnings
I got the last one this morning from Sunbury. Seems a ripper after using it today.
I managed to get hold of one.
Christmas prezzie for mum organised now!
Thankyou OP
8 left at craigeburn, Vic.
Just dropped off the Bunnings online catalogue. The jig might be up. Anyone have a receipt for one of these & happy to share ????
I have uploaded a receipt. It is Bunnings I/N 0088673
Price is still $99 but stock is low. Apparent Joondalup, WA has 8.
Thankyou kindly; yes I've tested my new lopper out on the gracillis bamboo…….strong clean cut. I reckon these are worth it even up at $199 (if you have something needing pruning).
Thanks. There are now 2 left at Maroochydore.
I just got one & 3 left at Oxenford QLD
For anyone still after these, they are now marked at $60 at Bunnings North Lakes QLD.
