I used a Makita Cordless impact wrench today at work, and its was not very noisy at all. It seemed upto the task for wheel nuts, although that's not what I was using it for.

I got the Dewalt impact wrench, works great.

Purchased the Makita impact wrench this morning. Bunnings ticket price $225, they price matched ToolHQ -10%. I walked out with it for $170 :)

Bonus !!

So they price matched an online shop? 

That makita at 170 is good price. the ryobi is 99 from big green shed.



**Edit, just checked 129 from B G Shed.    I thought I paid 99, **

Even better price for the Makita then D4D.   
presume you got the 230 Nm one ?

Yup as long as it is the identical item, an Aussie shop and they add postage. In this case postage was free :)

If you happen to find a lower price on a stocked item we'll beat it by 10%*

*Excludes trade quotes, stock liquidations and commercial quantities. Shelf prices may be lower than advertised to ensure lowest prices every day.

Bunnings' price guarantee applies to any lower price found on an on-line store or in a physical store in Australia. It applies where the other store's final price, inclusive of delivery, taxes, fees and charges, is lower than our price

Lesson learned !!

I thought in another thread, (think the bunnings vs masters thread) that a few were disspaointed with the bunnings price match guarantee?

What did you do, just take in a print out of the special price from online store?

I have taken a print out previously, this time I just used my phone as the lady in the tool shop has got used to me asking for a price match :)

Is it wrong to get a price match from the big green shed for a product advertised at you place of work??  ;D Maybe if you went in uniform it might be considered bad taste  ;D ;D

Yep. I have quite a few (maybe 10) Ryobi One+ tools, and some for a LONG time. None of the tools have EVER failed.
The original NiCad batteries died long ago, but were replaced with Li-Ion.
Very happy with them.

I'm working on my collection too. We have a bit of stuff for camping, but the tools seem strong enough for the DIY stuff around home. Got the rattle gun for winding down the legs on the camper, coz I'm that lazy  :D

I wouldnt call it lazy, most oldies have a cordless drill etc to raise and lower their legs.


But its bloody annoying when I want to sleep in and the guy next spot over makes a heap of noise raising his legs.. very annoying.

Pretend you have injured your hand / arm and have her do the legs on a camper with a spanner / wrench etc...

Be telling a different story then.
