I said a lot of their stuff, not all. Both my chainsaws were made in Germany and the US. My shop vac was made in Hungary, as was my…

$1500 odd lifetime. Just withdrew $110 with over $200 pending. It was good while it lasted.

Which is why our country is getting itself in such a mess - an attractive place to live with a virtually open border policy. It's all going…

Stihl 36V. Yes, it's not cheap but really good quality and will last a long time. Can get spare parts fairly easily too. An added bonus is…

Partly. Tesla, and some other manufacturers use NMC batteries.

Just don't mention the cobalt (big amounts in EVs) that is mined by children in Congo

Just don't live in our cities - especially New Mumbai and New Shanghai (previously called Sydney and Melbourne) - both massive shitholes…

If you give me $60k for my diesel 4x4 ute, I'll 'replace' it

I'm sad I can't get a decent station wagon anymore Mazda 6 wagon - a fantastic car

Nope, very happy - the bigger, the better. Preferably diesel powered too.

I've repaired many tyres in my time, I'm a big fan of doing it of you can as it's a big saving over replacement. I'd say this tyre is not…

My Brother mono laser is heading for 10yo - it hasn't missed a beat despite constant isr. Cheap as chips to operate with knock off eBay…

Fluke is great, if expensive. As a non-practicing qualified electrician, the best tester to use is the old school Duspol contact tester -…

I have a Pivot case for mine as I use it for navigation software when flying (can strap it to my thigh). It's a fantastic case for general…

I'm not really a fan of Apple products but I have an iPad Mini (cellular) for my EFB flying navigation software and find it to be a…

This is so true. A few years ago, I was selling a metal detector that I had bought to find a buried pipe on my property - I used it once…

The one that arcs me up - you're selling something for $50 and you get an offer of $25 - cash. How else were you going to pay? GTF. I was…

They're not police

This is a thing? Seriously? There's no way I'm sticking steel rods in my ears. Mental.

Get a new one. Installation cost shouldn't be too bad as the electrics are already there, holes drilled etc. We had a 9yo Fujitsu split…

Or drink a mug of concrete and toughen TF up. This is Australia, not Austria FFS!

Can you now write this in English?

'1.5 hours away in the middle of bumble(profanity)'. Very few city folk (who tend to be annoying champagne socialists) though - heaven.

Or the old school.way that I learnt as an apprentice electrician using a pair of sidecutters

The real deal. Unfortunately, we have enough of these things. These knives a good deal too:…

This. I know people (generally older) who don't do social media but have a FB account for Marketplace only.

I wonder if Lego will ever do a Handley Page Victor Now that would be a thing! An Avro Vulcan too.

I grew up in South Africa, and back in the 70s when I was very young, a Concorde came there for testing. I remember it flying over our…

The cabin is very narrow and the ceiling felt that it was lower, almost cramped. The seat was comfortable but probably not as comfortable…
