Dewalt is most likely discontinuing this so they're running them out at this price.
I found it on Amazon for ~225 last week and bought that one already.. but this one will have Australia warranty
May buy this and return the Amazon one…

this normally retails for $349
the equivalent bosch blue is $359 https://www.totaltools.com.au/143788-bosch-18v-brushless-300… but it is a hog ring design
Thanks for that - Google is a wonderful teacher so I now know all about the hog ring (vs indent). This one does 447Nm which is impressive on its won too :-)
Being a cheapskate I bought one of these Makita knock-offs when they were on sale for AU$46 a while back, it does a fine job…

I use it with a $20 Dewalt to Makita battery adapter like this:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/164817795054
It's a little bulky with the battery adapter but fine for my occasional use…. I went this way because I have 3 x 5AH Dewalt batteries and I wanted to try some of these knock-off tools but I rather not buy into another battery system…
Having the adapter also allows me to use one of the cheap arse $26 Makita knockoff toy chainsaws for odd one handed pruning (when the petrol and Dewalt chainsaws aren't suitable):

Those Makita knock offs are great value for lower torque applications, but there’s not a chance in hell it would match this Dewalt’s torque output. Let alone do 800Nm as claimed on the Banggood listing.
I agree 100%, you get what you pay for…I don't use an impact wrench enough to justify a name brand one but this one is fine for what I need …
The only thing I have to compare it against is my little 200NM Dewalt impact driver and it has a shit load more torque than that, so it's not a gutless toy, but yeh, I don't believe the claimed 800NM… I got the "B" version that is hex and 1/2" socket, you have to turn the power down and be careful with hex bits, it just snaps them, lol
I think the genuine Makita is about 500NM, 800NM peak/breaking torque…
Just did a brief video for you, the first 2 are "Bob Jane" tight, the 3rd was as tight as I could do it up with a standard X wheel brace:

I should also mention, it's a hog-ring and it's a bit of an effort to get the socket over the ring, no doubt it will loosen up with use…
Thanks OP; was waiting for a local price to be close to Amazon's. Got one (well I got it price matched from Total Tools which delivers it for free)
Coming up as $359 for me. Could someone upload a receipt?
Wow - that's gone back up. Was definitely $237.88 when the OP posted it
It’s 303 in store (tool shop assistant confirmed it on her scanner) but clicked and collect in store is still 237.88. Just bought it in store via click and collect.
Yep, looks like back up to $359 here as well.

Still sale price till wed I got two today
https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/207116/90804/image.jpg
Bendigo store removed the sign early but still did the price
It's back to $237.88. Did bunnings get OzBargained, thus older price loaded?
Instore till wed can get them cheep
Got it. Now decision time.
Is this or the Makita DTW300Z the better option?
I know this has the auto stop function, but can it be set to different levels of torque? I.e. the Makita lowest setting goes to max 90Nm (which is roughly what I am after), which means I don't need to use a torque wrench to check my torque.
I'm no tradie so this is a genuine question.Are these that much better than the brushless Bosch Blue? Doesn't seem like much of a runout price to me…
