^This guy Ozbargain's…………..
Perfect. Really needed that ice scraper in suburban Sydney.
Didn't realise Ozbargain is limited to suburban Sydney…good to know. You also don't need to go beyond Sydney's extremities to get morning frost in winter.
Well if I'm from blue mountains, tas or canberra, it wouldnt be that weird of a purchase. JS.
Lol, he was clearly just referring to his own situation…
I got it anyway, I guess I can use it to scrape my feet
There's some more knipex in that list too if someone needs some more tools. Not spectacular prices from what I've seen, but okay after 19% off.
Great tip. I went with these as they were more useful than an ice scraper and came out at $1.65 after discount :) https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B000R5LWJQ
fantastic…just been using my Knipex tools and I need an ice scraper for my work in the snow fields
Happy day for me
This is the way… well done RichardL.
Bought the diagonal cutters and combination pliers separately off Amazon UK a year ago. Good tools, good price, would recommend.
Good tools, I paid $99 for them in Jan… no regrets.
Love my knipex. I got pliers last time. Need to get long nose and sidies next.
This deal has both of those!
Ah I forgot to say that I need the VDE ones and they're $195 jeepers!
Can say that Knipex make excellent tools. Use them in engineering capacities all the time and have never failed me.
Normal price at TME for all three items, including shipping, is 75.55 USD:
KNP.0302180 16.33 USD
KNP.7002160 20.30 USD
KNP.2612200 23.02 USD
Shipping 15.90 USD
Total 75.55 USDThat's about 110 AUD.
Yes but thats overseas pricing. You gotta add on GST. And possibly Aussie handling service fee. You wont be able to buy it here for $110
Buy it direct from TME in Poland, shipped via FedEx. No GST on shipments under $1000 AUD.
Oh I didn't know you could buy direct. I was more talking about if this RRP were to get to an Australian retailer, then it wouldn't be possible.
WRONG!
No GST on under $1,000 has been removed thanks to Gerry Harvey. This is very well known.
@UFO: No, you are wrong.
GST under $1000 is only applied if the overseas seller decides to collect it. Lots do not.
@Shonky: no my dude…. YOU are wrong.
Australian Customs will see that the invoice hasn't got GST on it, and then charge you before releasing it domestically.
100% fact, I'm not even close to being unsure on it.
https://www.ato.gov.au/Business/GST/In-detail/Rules-for-spec…
@Shonky: GST is a part of business…. that's why it's under 'business' and not 'personal'.
You're giving people incorrect information, and I'm not going to continue this back and forth with you as it's wasting my time.
For anyone else reading this….. THESE are the facts:
Yes, you may get a flukey low value import through and avoid GST, but I'm guessing on a $100 import such as this that's not going to happen.
I regularly buy items from overseas, and those overseas sellers on a very regular basis aren't registered for Australian GST collection (most aren't).
That's why Australian Customs can and do hold items for customs clearance prior to release to domestic couriers.They'll inform the domestic courier there is delay in customs, and either the courier or customs directly will contact you to arrange clearance (pay GST).
Every single consignment coming into Australia needs to show an invoice on the outside of the parcel. If that invoice doesn't show a GST component, you're up for GST as the buyer. On extremely low value items they may not bother, but on ones like this…. you'd be very lucky indeed to not be charged if buying direct from an OS retailer.
I won't comment any further on this, Shonky can reply all he likes :).
But he most certainly wrong about the $1000 import limit. And it has nothing to do with "business" as he is trying to portray.@UFO: I received a parcel from Canada a while back with about $1600 worth of goodies for myself and no gst or customs.
I try to avoid DHL as they seem to hit you up with fee`s@UFO: https://www.abf.gov.au/buying-online/buying-online
You are still wrong. You used a link about a business importing goods to try and justify your case. I'm talking about business importing since you were.
Personal imports < $1000 do not attract GST at the border. End of story.
@Shonky: I'm with you on this. GST on under $1k is only charged if the overseas retailer decides to collect it. That's it.
@UFO: If a business outside of Australia sells less than a x dollars to Australian consumers/companies, they don't need to register for GST. Although if they have no other ties to Australia, I'm not sure what could be done to enforce it.
Manual GST collection will not be able to be enforced unless the items value/price + shipping/handling costs >=1000 AUD.
(I think x dollars is like 75,000 AUD.)
source: look it up
@Shonky: I get lots of items from USA no GST as under $1000, also watch from Hong Kong under $1000. It is actually a lot of hassle to apply GST on small orders and collect the money which is maybe why it isn't done. Ebay was an easy target, they collect for 1000's of people. For customs to hold a $100 item, and do the paperwork for $10 GST, and hold the item until paid, etc would cost wayyyy more than the $10 they collect.
@garage sale: This is the problem with Australia. When it's too costly to even bother collecting money, your country is finished. What sort of industry can flourish under that sort of environment.
Sometimes I really wonder how many percentage of our rego fees, income taxes and gst etc actually gets to the proper area for use and how much just goes to "cost" of collecting and handling the money.
Yep, probably no GST.
I have spent over $4,000 on goods from Finnish shopping sites spread over 10 orders, delivered by DHL and one with FedEx …
TOTAL GST: … zero …
I wish I know about this website (TWE) earlier - I bought like 18 x Knipex items from Amazon US/UK in last 6 months
Yes to Knipex! Excellent quality tools that will last a lifetime
They're good but lifetime is a bit of a stretch!
Bear in mind these are not VDE (electrically insulated) rated tools.
The VDE Variant are also discounted but on back-order - $137.14 Delivered (doesn't qualify for the additional 19% off).
Looking at the ones in this post I can see that you won't be electrocuted with 220 Volts if the plastic parts are intact and your hands are not wet.
I would not use them on live wires though. It is just if you happen to touch them accidently.
It is not a legal advise.Yes. VDE is kind of nonsense in a way as you shouldn't be working live. That's old school thinking. The only way to work is switch off, lock out and test, then work.
I'm a qualified (but non-practising) electrician and I would never do live work.
I'd love these but I dunno if I can justify having them in my $20 150 piece toolbag! I am admiring how nice they are though!
that is cheap, are many of them zip ties?
40 Cable Ties.
40 Electrical Connectors.
20 Various Nuts
20 Various Bolts
20 Various washers
10 Useful other tools.
Seems like Sephora for men.
Shown $123.82 for me
Are these really that much better than similar German tools from Bunnings?
https://www.bunnings.com.au/nws-3-piece-classic-plier-set_p6…Yes
NWS are excellent too but if I was to choose between the two, I'd go for Knipex.
I used to be a mechanic and can really vouch for Knipex quality and durability. For house hold use and budgets, it may be overkill. But everyone has their own varying levels of prioritisation. I didn't need any of these but couldn't resist. Will gift old ones to someone instead.
I'm a big fan of tools and will buy them for the sake of it. These are excellent and the price is very good.
My EDC mini (5inch?) Knipex cobra plier paid for itself in less than a month snipping coins out of trolleys in carparks.
Cheaper and easier to carry if shopping trolleys are your main use
Those keys only save your money, they can't help you getting coins out of abandoned trolleys. With these knipex cobra pliers you can snip them out in no time.
And that said obviously this was not the intended main use, at least not before I have bought it.only place I have seen tokens still used is at Aldi. The Coles, Woolies at Southland, no tokens. my local coles no tokens, might be how big shopping centres are or if t's just council carpark vs shopping centre carpark…. would have thought token was in tighter than you could pull out with pliers ??
Must pay more attention when shopping.
I have the Charge TTi, the leatherman plier nose is significantly smaller compared to the Knipex cobra. I haven't had the chance (never thought of) using it to get coins but based on its geometry I think it will provide less gripping power. The cobra is pretty amazing in this aspect.
The Knipex Cobra wrenches are great, they have a much better grip than other pipe wrenches. The precision of the ones in the set here is also quite good but the needle nose pliers are kind of fragile.
PS: Add a cheap item from the qualifying products list to save an additional 19% off (For example, this Ice Scraper for $3.63)
