Note: Price online has increased to $79, but is being sold for $29 in store

$29 for cordless whipper snipper , 2.5ah battery and fast charger.

I've paired this with the $159 ozito battery mower and $29 jet blower and couldn't be happier with the product (considering the price)
knocked over my 150sqm backyard and 100sqm front yard.

Looks like Bunnings is matching Aldi's mower and whipper snipper kit.

    Those who complain about the blade breaking there is a metal near the blade you can adjust to prevent the blade cutting into the bricks or wall etc. I use this for the first round and go back the second time with the metal adjuster pushed all the way in to trim carefully the grass near the brick or wall so the blade doesn’t hit it too hardly and breaks or flies off.

  • cuteseal on 22/10/2020 - 10:27

    Woot! I've got a corded electric line trimmer and it's always such a chore dragging out the extension cord to trim edges.
    This is purely a convenience buy for me… lol.

      Update to my own comment. Blades didn't break and did a great job on the grass and trim edges on the nature strip. wood chips, mulch and some small stones didnt seem to break the blade. While doing the edges, the plastic blade was hitting the concrete and that didn't break it too. Not sure how others are abusing it. After a good half an hour, only noticed the plastic blades curved up a bit.

      Other than that, again, for $29 and a small area [28m2] to clean up, it does a fantastic job.

  • mike0mike0 on 22/10/2020 - 10:40

    What's the difference between this and this $129one ?

    • Xizor on 22/10/2020 - 10:44

      Looks like the other one has a rotating head for edging. Seems like asking for trouble with blades.

  • Matt88 on 22/10/2020 - 10:40

    Must resist buying one of these. I have been using weed killer to do my edges for 15 years since my last whipper snipper died. OK resisted, talked myself out of it

    • Kooratz on 22/10/2020 - 12:19

      yep, I use that too, but still buy it cos it's a bargain

  • Going Broke on 22/10/2020 - 10:50

    I’ve been using this for my small yard and it does the job and easy to use. Would recommend for this price point. Plenty in stock (about 40 at least) at Castle Hill NSW 2154.

        You would think that, but with these lithium cells this isn't the case. Ie. a larger battery pack may have a parallel set of cells, doubling the current output. Perfect example, my old man bought a Milwaukee drill/ battery combo advertised with X amount of torque. Turns out the 2.5 Ah battery it's supplied with won't deliver enough current to achieve the listed torque rating. To cut a long story short, Milwaukee had to provide him a 6ah battery at their cost to achieve the box listed specs.
        The torque almost doubled.

        Lastly, newer battery chemistry have higher outputs. So just using a modern 2.5Ah battery my make a difference. Ie. Convert an old NICD drill to lithium and watch it go…

  • rlagksquf on 22/10/2020 - 10:58

      I wouldn't.. The problem isn't only with plastic blades breaking, but it's also with them flying off in random directions. You wouldn't want a metal blade flying your way.

    I have an 80v victa, 36v ryobi, 18v ryobi and 18v black n decker.

    The 36v is plenty powerful unless doing brush.

    The 18v are pretty decent for everything else in an average reasonable well maintained yard and very light.

    Most ppl won't need more than a 36v.

  • Watchdogathon on 22/10/2020 - 11:33

    Now we just need the mower to come down to @29 when the whipper goes back to it's original price :)

  • mrjk on 22/10/2020 - 11:34

    I have used this a lot over the past 6 months on my small/medium yard. Big enough that I need a grass trimmer, but too small to warrant a full on mower.

    Regarding all the comments, yes the blades break, but that's only if you are not careful and get too close to concrete edges, bricks and fences etc. I have managed to do my whole yard without a blade breaking and just being careful (the blade probably wears down 50%, but it comes with around 20).

    Second, to the people saying it will only cut a couple inches of grass. I have cut grass with lengths of 30cm+, but it does require 2 or 3 passes. I just go back and forth over it in an arcing motion, easy enough, kind of like using a scythe (youtube it lol).

    Basically for my yard size, its perfect. The convenience of no petrol and it working with all my other PxC tools is great, and honestly I would rather use the blade (pop in and out) than fiddle with reels of line. Might take a bit longer, but it works for me, and at this price its a no brainer if you have a small/medium yard.

      • edrift on 22/10/2020 - 12:11

        I would say at least 300sqm worth of trimming if you are not going into bricks or concrete.

        I find them fairly durable

      • Naigrabzo on 22/10/2020 - 12:12

        Mine is still going on original ones they gave me (still have a bout 5 left) and have had it for about 1 year. I cut the yard edges only every 2-3 weeks. 120m2.

  • elseye on 22/10/2020 - 11:42

    According to the photos, looks like they are different products. 29 vs 129 means some differences, not just price!

    • highdealer on 22/10/2020 - 12:26

      The 129 has a rotating head which you can use for edging as well as grass trimming.
      I wouldn't recommend using the $129 for edging though considering the blade quality.

        I bought one from bunnings just now and its all black around the battery (except for the button to detach the battery which is red). I believe the red ones have red on the base.

        Edit: looked up the doco and it says the battery model is PXBP-250

      Is that even a thing for this kit? Thought the different batteries only existed for the 4Ah battery when matching Aldi.

      Where did you read the black boxes were lower quality? (though I wouldn't be surprised…) Interested in a read if you have a link.

    • elseye on 22/10/2020 - 12:25

      If it is the BLACK one then not good to go. Actually, this trimmer is different from the 129$ one (different skin). Looks like the poster made mistake, look at the motor bit?
      https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-grass-trimmer-skin…
      Skin only is already more than 70$.

      • silenthillrocks on 22/10/2020 - 12:39

        yeh the original model (https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-grass-trimmer-kit_…) only had 10 replacement blades. This pack has 20, so is likely a different battery/motorhead combo

      • opposablethumbs on 22/10/2020 - 13:21
        +2

        The one in this deal is model PXCGTK-018.

        Previous $29 skin only model deal (which I have) was PXCLTS-018.
        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/499483
        https://ozito.com.au/main/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/PXCLTS-…
        This is no longer available on Bunnings site as skin only, but appears to be same model as PXCLTK-218, listed for $129 as a kit, including battery and charger.
        https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-grass-trimmer-kit_…

        Major difference seems to be that the one in this deal has fixed head, so can't adjust tilt or angle. Otherwise only appears to be minor aesthetic changes e.g. handle colour, shaft handle design, tilt button and plastic at bottom of shaft enabling head tilt and rotation.
        Specs in manuals from Ozito site, suggest the new one is a bit lighter, but otherwise same power.
        No Load Speed: 8,500/min
        Cutting Diameter: 240mm
        Weight: 1.3kg (vs 1.8kg)

        If you can still bag one, and is suitable for your use, then actual model and battery unlikely to perform significantly differently to the previous model (just no head tilt or angle adjustment, and 0.5kg lighter).

        • silenthillrocks on 22/10/2020 - 13:23

          good analysis. this looks like a cheaper 'promo' pack than the original, but still not a bad deal for $29

    Bought one and gave it to my son in law to "mow" his 10 x 3 m lawn. Feels like a toy and the blades break off too easily. They cant stand the centrifuge forces or if they hit something semi solid , they break. on a 3ah I used to get 15 mins run time.
    They're ok for small garden beds but dont expect them to last.

  • Puglife on 22/10/2020 - 12:53

    • leprinze on 22/10/2020 - 14:39
      +1

      That's exactly what this would be great for, Puglife. I use it to edge the nature strip at the in-laws place. Perfect tool for the job and no need to spend 5 mins mucking around mixing fuel. If I've left the grass to grow for a few weeks, I might go through 1 and bit blades, but on a maintenance trim, 1 blade is plenty. I'm also getting better at not hitting the concrete footpath and gutter as much - and that avoids depleting the blade.

  • Sapper50 on 22/10/2020 - 12:53
