Good advice - nearly always better to go the OEM route if you can as a) you know they'll fit properly b) if you damage one then getting a…

The skins easy to remove anyway - 30 secs in a hot pan and just ease off as the fat layer of the skin will have melted. I love it wife…

Vivaldi browser and uBlock Origin has always worked for me. I know it's a slightly weird browser choice but I use multiple platforms and…

It's worth pointing that Star Alliance and OneWorld both do around the world options too. They won't be as cheap as these but you will have…

Look at Youtube for Ozito pruning Shears - very likely the same internals as both will likely be based on Einhell designs.

I'd also avoid Ryobi as I've found their batteries to be very poor. I now use DeWalts dating back to 2014 with a $20 adaptor for our Ryobi…

Yes, but not 365. If you need a new battery "today" then Ozito is your only option at this price point.

Haha, she's the gardener out of us. I showed her earlier today and her answer was I'll just use the reciprocating saw(s) or the chainsaw(s)…

Reciprocating saw with a 200mm+ blade might be a better bet? Pruning shears do look useful though for my wife.

Bunnings just did - $79 Zero additional discount with PowerPass (at least for my account) so use OnePass if you have it, for free delivery…

Too late - buy from Bunnings

Same price at Amazon Prime incl delivery - go via TopCashBack to get 10% cash rewards as this is a "home improvement" item. Usual stuff…

Damn, just bought one, but If that's really the case I've still got my 20yr old Wahl kit using NiMH batteries - replaced with soldered-in…

I'd be pretty sure that you can get longer combs. My kit from 20 years ago goes up that far but like most I only use #1 or #2. NO offence…

You must have OnePass, make sure you're logged in and then should see that price at checkout - worked for me.

It happens. Samsung are known for it but I'm sure it would happen to other brands too, indeed as witnessed here.

Deep fryers absolutely have their place. The trick is to find that place and use it and then filter the oil and keep it cool. E.g. deep…

My Ariston RD80 with Linn Basik arm and Rega cartridge loves this comment. The RD80 is a bit like a cheaper Linn LP12 - I well remember…

I still have a pair of Tevas from 1998, they did the Annapurna circuit including about 500M over snow as I couldn't be bothered to take…

See my reply below. Ours is effectively a dumb TV but no issues with it. Picture is fine and sound irrelevant as we use a dedicated 5.1…

Chiq is a Western branding name for Changhong which is a massive Chinese brand. It's a bit like LG really stands for Lucky Goldstar rather…

Immediate thought is that those wheels will sink into loose sand - not what you want on a beach?

All of them - it's a warehouse savings deal that runs until Oct 27th. Very decent rice for the price although not as good as India Gate…

When I buy a used car I often use the tyre brand as an indicator of what care has been taken. I wouldn't avoid a car purely on the tyre…

Some "funny" comments here but if this belt fails then you're quite likely to cook your engine or at least have no power steering etc. The…

It will even charge when turned off with a USB-C phone charger. Not enough power to charge whilst on but makes it more flexible for use…

Me too. I was of one the few that got it for $55.99 AUD and it's been fine for me at home running as an HTPC. Nov 2023, 24/7 to this date.…

I'd be really interested to see what warranty parts availability will be like in 2034 for a 10 year old current generation MG3, especially…

"Is it just the thrill of the bargain for most or what?" I suspect in many cases it is and I'm guilty as well but when it comes down to…

No. With all due respect, I do understand batteries - Electronics Eng etc. To me, the quality of batteries has been quietly going down year…
