I mentioned this in the Masters 10% post, but after using it think it is worth a submission.
The equivalent sells for $99 at Bunnings and I cannot find anywhere else cheaper.

Oregon chain and bar, automatic oiling, easy tensioning - not much else to say.
Except that for a 1/4 acre block, I'm converted to electric. Much better than a small 2-stroke. Less noise and vibration. Instant on/off. No fuel mixing. Obviously no good on country acres, but if a 25m extension cord covers your yards, then the cord is easier. (And you do not want to pay for, or lift, an 1800W battery.)

It easily sliced through a stump that went to the limit of the 14" (36cm) bar. Like a hot knife through butter on branches that would have taken 10 minutes to saw.

Not available for delivery. You pay online to get the 10% off, and pickup in the shop.

update: now 10% off with Woolies card, as $10-off code has expired.

      this tool is friday the 13th safe, as it requires a few metres of cord extension and a power source to massacre someone in the forest :)

    How much are replacement chains?

    This deal is great timing as I'm off to Texas next month…

    • bargaino on 17/06/2012 - 22:30
      +2

      Oregon replacement chains are $25 on ebay, or $10 for no-name.
      But I don't really expect this chainsaw to outlast the first chain. You just need a round file to sharpen it.

      This deal is great timing as I'm off to Texas next month…

      Sorry, 240V only.

        don't they sell them instore ?

  • [Deactivated] on 17/06/2012 - 21:59

    It's been that price since Masteres opened as far as I'm aware. I purchased the two stroke chainsaw for $89 with discount. So much more versatile and convenient and for less than $90 you can't go wrong.

    I didn't look in masters for the 909 brand chains, but Ozito are around the $30 - $40 mark whilst the cheaper brands (yes there are cheaper) are $23 from bunnings (12 inch chains). Does the job so far… fell a fair few trees with no worries.

    Go the 909 2 stroke because
    a) Cheap to run
    b) No wires
    c) 2 Stroke is not difficult to mix
    c) More power
    d) Only slightly more expensive

    • jv on 17/06/2012 - 22:31
      +13

      Go the 909 2 stroke

      it depends what you're using it for… the 2 stroke is more noisy…

      sometimes, you may not want anyone to know what you are doing… eyewitnesses just means more work…

      • voteoften on 17/06/2012 - 23:43

        True dat.

      • morpheu on 18/06/2012 - 00:18
        +2

        you're joking right?! although the 2 stroke may make more noise both it and the electric make enough noise to, well, raise the dead!(yeah yeah friday the 13th next month!) so you can't mention the words 'stealth' and 'chainsaw' in the same sentence-that's why you won't find a chainsaw in a game like Splinter Cell!

      don't take having catalogues for granted. where I live we barely get any, and if we do get any the sale usually would have already started, or in some cases already finished :(

      therefore, for a person like me ozbargain is very useful and keeps me up to date on what I would otherwise be missing out on due to lack of catalogues. I also don't have time to check up and read all the online catalogues, another plus for ozbargain and thoughtful (and a myriad of other positive qualities) deal posters.

      If you want to be a troll you need to study and learn from someone good at it like jv.

      The foundation of successful trolling is being discreet enough that most people don't realise you're doing it.

      • slowmo on 18/06/2012 - 16:59

        why is there a need to look up to someone who is good at providing pointless, useless and mostly offensive information?

    We don't all see the same catalogues each week, and there is no obligation to read what one finds mundane. It is refreshing to see Bunnings at last have some real competition.

      two things wrong with the new Preston Masters store though…

      • no play area for kids…
      • no cafe inside, just a crappy outdoor coffee cart…

        Well, if they sell chainsaws, there's plenty to keep the kids entertained.

      • Cluster on 18/06/2012 - 11:15

        No cafe and kids play area = lower overheads = lower prices for customers. My local Bunnings store's play area is seldom used but it still takes up space and must be maintained.

    Chainsaw. Yes please :)

    "The chainsaw mutilates enemies close enough to contact. At 525 hits per minute, it is roughly a quadruple-speed fist. It is often used, because it conserves ammo, its "rapid fire" works well on enemies with high pain chance which minimizes damage in melee situations, and because of its gory implications."

    The chainsaw just stopped working. Broken power switch? Motor blown?

    • blinker on 21/06/2012 - 19:00

      I am a complete moron. Lucky I have not decapitated myself.
      Unlike petrol chainsaws, electric ones apparently do not start when the kickback bar is forward.
      It's just an electric switch, not mechanical.

      One the plus side, the tree fell down beautifully - gracefully and just where it was meant to.
      I was utterly unable to resist yelling TIM-BERRRR!!
