Wish we had the same deal here in NSW
Second this! After using sheers for 15+ yrs I used a hedge trimmer for the first time the other day. Went straight to Bunnings to buy my own but thought I'd try my luck waiting for a sale first… If only it were in NSW as well. I never realised how much quicker and easier it is using a hedge trimmer!
Next step robovacuum.
Looks like only one in stock?
They had few in stock.
How many items left roughly as you saw it today?
There were 4 this afternoon.
Not bad, given that that battery itself cost quite a bit
Minimum is 36V or more.
Sorry am I reading 2.0aH as battery capacity?
Yes 2.0aH is the capacity, so the kit I think comes with 2x2.0aH 18v batteries to achieve the 36v output
Unlike other brands, Ryobi’s 36V tool range is single-battery operated, as pictured here
@GregFiona: Oh thanks, just assumed they were like the others and 2x18v
@GregFiona: Correction: as mentioned below it looks like it's a different model(older by the looks of it's charger) RHT3636DR that comes with a 2.6Ah battery
@GregFiona: Ta.
I bought Dewalt hedge trimmer from Bunnings back in April 2019.

This one is pretty good.
It comes with 1 x36v 2000mah battery and charger. This kit is currently listed on Bunnings site at $349. Wish we could get this deal in NSW.
That one for $349 is a different model number. The Bunnings fineline number is different as well.
This is a great deal. By the way, that’s a 2.6Ah battery.
Please don’t waste your money on this. In the long run, these machines don’t last that long, battery is drained so fast & there is almost no power.
I learned the hard way, bought it thinking its a lot cheaper than petrol omes, ended up giving it away for free. And purchasing a PROPER petrol one.
You would be better off buying second hand on fb marketplace with petrol, than getting this one brand new.Really? I bought the one for ozito and it is rock solid the battery lasted as long as i needed
I got an Ozito one a few years back.
The motor, gearbox and blade were way better than i anticipated.
Run time was long enough for household use on an average 1/4 acre or less suburban block.
Ran out of charge a few times, but only when I'd let things over grow badly.Got to a point however after 3 years or so where the included NiCad wouldn't hold charge.
Went and got a Ryobi 18v unit ( i have other one+ tools) and it was a piece of crap, literally loose and flimsy in hand.
Took it back and got a corded unit, same issue, took it back too.Got out the old Ozito, modded the battery so i could plug in 3 cell RC lipo batteries and it's worked better then either of the 2 Ryobi ones.
I usually think Ozito is crap (their rotary tool was!) but.. got lucky??
all my tools are ozito lol ryobi is just too expensive for me haha and none of my ozito fail so far haha
Ozito is fine for yard warriors. Careful charging those lipos. Could lose house.
Ozito has a few different versions, which one did you get? I need one for my front garden as its getting unruly.
they come with at least 3 years warranty…
Not saying I totally agree with you on this, but I do get where you are coming from.
I look at all these plastic $500+ battery lawn mowers in Bunnings and they just don't look like they'll last 10+ years. I've got a hand me down brigs and Stratton mower that I've had for 9 years and it was far from new when I received it and it shows no sign of slowing down…
My “plastic” $499 Ryobi lawn mower has 6 years warranty. I have had it for 6 months now, it’s much lighter and much quieter than a petrol one, battery lasts forever, looks like new.
For my use, I don’t think I will ever be going back to petrol ones
Check out Ego. Nothing beats ego. Screw ozito.
Careful with those dirty words.
How is screw a dirty word? I've had experience with these tools and it's better to go with good quality stuff, especially for electric. Ego blows it all out of the water.
If I did not have an ego I would not be here tonight

Sounds like you need the hedge trimmer treatment OP. Welcome to OzB
Can I drive down from NSW to pick it up? Asking for a friend.
Any other Melbourne metro locations have it at this price?
Just checked in store, still in stock but no longer on clearance
plus get coranavirus tested
