Maybe I should drop my ex-Manager a line for his viewpoint on this. /s One of my duties was Windows patch deployment and I'd dropped the…

Also available at BigW for $4.25 each.

They're very likely to have exactly the same batteries inside; the voltage difference is essentially just marketing - nominal vs maximum…

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…

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…

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…
