I'd suggest not. Amazon Basics are often knockoffs of another's product, made to the lowest standard. I've purchased a couple of such items…

That's incorrect. These Premium bags are only 98% biodegradable. "For teabags where heat sealing has been required we have used custom…

This is fairly informative. https://youtu.be/lGlC0KZr8rY

Mint Innovation (https://www.mint.bio/) have built an ewaste biorefinery in Sydney. Clever stuff with plans to process 3000 T of ewaste per…

Wood splitting wedge. https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B00002N801 Was about $20 but spalled a sliver the size of a fingernail dead…

Thanks for taking the time to compare the two. The reviews I've seen all mention the lack of gimbal as an issue but conclude it's still…

Each time this product is posted it attracts insults and claims of sockpuppeting. The previous deal was deleted entirely. Reviews elsewhere…

FYI, the selection 'eligible items' is greater than the small list in the post suggests. The folding knife above doesn't appear in the 17…

Same here - I have a bundle in the workshop. Good for all those uses, plus shims glue sandpaper to for awkward sanding jobs mixing epoxy…

I'd like to lock in "A. Anyone with lungs they'd like to keep using" Eddie.

Yup, seems much safer and easier to use a simple scoop than risk stirring up ash with a machine like this. I use a cheapo brush and dustpan…

Kmart do a one-litre borosilicate jug for $8. Bought a couple for reheating frozen leftovers and such - no issues for the several months…

Same here - the maul sends bits flying and an XA22 would save a lot of bending over. Have also had my eye on the XA23 (lots of Spanish…

I've purchased a handful of items which happened to be cheaper than elsewhere but overall their descent into another 'marketplace' has been…

We use ours when out separately on our property (in case of snakebite, injury or whatever). Range is adequate (about 500m through forest)…

I've been impressed by the A280 trail cameras (below) - fast trigger, strong IR, good resolution, audio recording, long battery life and so…

This is objectively terrible advice, particularly compared to pegaxs' 3/8" suggestion above. Those prices are questionable (how often is…

Been there. There's no guarantee that a street of 'nice houses' won't include a raucous bogan. Former house was on a street of 1/2-acre…

Many people live outside metro areas where Bunnings proliferate. My point is that you can't book a trailer ahead. On more than one occasion…

Yeah, imagine how infuriating it'd be if you drove (say, an hour) all the way to Bunnings to buy long timber/pipe, bags of cement or…

This is an understated reason - the Fiddly Factor is a significant one. Unless the device size is restrictive (a phone, for example) I…

Indeed - I wouldn't have guessed that a bamboo shoe rack was that expensive but image search results suggest the asking prices are much…

No joy, sorry. Seller no longer lists it and a quick search suggests they're at least $5. More $ = less cheesy, and a little more gets a…

Same here; only bought it as a stop-gap when we moved house, all our stuff was weeks away and I had to shift a few bolts. That adaptor may…

Same here for Launceston. Staff looked for the 3 in stock but they're long gone. Price was apparently $25 so imagine the joy of whoever…

I purchased something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/302669994064 to clear a slow drain in some old steel pipes where it wouldn't…

Can anyone recommend any of these for relief of itching and inflammation from leech bites? I'm assuming it's just a histamine reaction so…

Interesting that you should mention that - I've always thought that all cordless tools should accept a mains adaptor (a mains cable with…

Accuracy - this unit has a 600 degC range with +/- 2 degC accuracy; that's fine for most uses but not human body temperature range, 2…
