The range of gear is pretty good, the prices are higher than you'd pay online, but if you need what you want there and then, they are reasonable. Staff are a bit of a lucky dip. Some know what they are talking about and are very helpful, others wouldnt know the difference between a deep cycle battery and a deep fryer.

I purchased a double pole 12v circuit breaker from them 50amp, I think and the thing is the biggest POS, crappy contacts that don't make properly when switched.
I don't make a point of going in there anymore, even for a look. I personally think there are better places to shop.

Most of the product stock is actually jaycar stuff, then there's some more specialty boating and caravaning pieces. I bought an abs plastic battery tray off them the first time I went in and paid $19.95. Went over to Freddy's after that and saw the exact same tray (even same brand) for $9.95. Pays to check prices.
