The Bunnings in Shepparton is not a patch on the ones I have visited in Melb, but they do seem to have most of what I need.

Same-same but different. I'd rather eat at a Masters Macca's than a Bunnings cafe, & that's saying somehing!
Went to my local bolt shop today, they didn't have the fixing I needed & suggested Bunnings. No luck there, not with the other thing I went to Bunnings for. So I tried Masters. Found the fixing, but not the other.
So like most things in retail, it seems to me that you need to know your retailers & what they stock as well as prices.

Unfortunately now, you can Hanna man a grander spanner.... Almost anything else these days. My old Sidchrome stuff is great, the new stuff ain't so hot.

New stahlwille will leave old sidchrome(as good as it is) for dead. I have lots of both.

I've heard that someone bought the Sidchrome dies and the quality is now acceptable/reasonable.
