Looks like a 15% off a range of power tool combo kits,
similar deal to last month https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/649170
DeWALT 18V FlexVolt 5 Piece Advantage Combo Kit $1044 (usually $1699) https://www.bunnings.com.au/dewalt-18v-flexvolt-5-piece-adva…
DeWALT 18V 5 Piece Brushless Kit $832 (usually $999) https://www.bunnings.com.au/dewalt-18v-5-piece-brushless-kit…
Makita 18V 9 Piece Combo Kit $1027 (usually $1199) https://www.bunnings.com.au/makita-18v-9-piece-combo-kit_p02…
They would be on par..
Same dilemma I am having
Chippy mates say makita. Dewalt you just pay a premium for the name. But I like the flexvolt. Extra power when I need it. Small jobs so reduce battery won't matter
Bunnings don't have details on their website but i think this should be the flexvolt kit. https://sydneytools.com.au/product/dewalt-dcz586p1t1txe-18v-…
That kit does look the same. Same part number and same original price.
I was hoping for the 54v 5-piece kit but it doesn't seem bunnings offer it.
@242gtr: This is a nightmare, for some reason Bosch blue gear is a lot cheaper but I can't find what i want in a kit with Bosch…or even Dewalt, & Makita has way too many variations of the same tool lol.
I then checked eBay, and its super cheap compared to rrp! E.g. dewalt DCG405N-XJ is $349 vs. $189!
But the catch is the warranty is only valid if the seller is an authorised reseller…(3yrs sounds pretty crap anyways).
Decisions decisions
Will it include ryobi?
Sorry I have only been looking at Makita and Dewalt. I dont know the usual prices for Ryobi
Do you know when it will end?
Sorry no idea
Tomorrow
Whoops didn't pull the trigger in time. Hopefully will pick up a good deal next time. What did you go with (if at all)
I think I'm going to stick with Makita unless there's a real compelling reason to go with DeWalt also what's your experience level I'm a complete novice looking to get a good set of tools to do odd jobs around the house and upskill as a hobby.

Actually the best deal is the 2 piece combo: https://www.bunnings.com.au/dewalt-2-piece-18v-flexvolt-adva…
They throw in older models and weird stuff (like a 12v battery in a 18v kit) in the larger kits. You can build up the same larger kits on top of this 2 piece combo and even save some money or similar price but you get the newer models.
Really torn on what to get. Spoke to a few friends and family they recommended Makita. For reference I'm a complete novice looking to start woodworking and building basic DIY. Moving into a new house in December and I wanted to help out with some renos.
Unfortunately I noticed prices have gone back up now. But it was only like 5 weeks between prices drops so keep an eye out. Also that is pretty close to Black Friday sales.
I was on the lookout for my first kit of power tools. Just for basic DIY around the house. So complete novice here too. Not sure I am the best to give advice.
Ryobi was another brand suggested to me. Cheaper kits than Makita. In the end I went Makita based on recommendations from friends.
And if you are looking at Renos maybe consider brushless?
Excellent, I've been on the lookout for some 18V tools!
Actually, clicked the link and its still full price?
Would it be DeWalt > makita
