Boss give the green light so of we go ( see where this is heading ? ) Yep stepped into the store and stepped out with a new compressor. Coworker was going there with the intent of getting something. I was of course not. Got a free gift as well. I chose the Kettle. Got home and presented the kettle to the missus and said it cost $149 but you get a free air compressor with it. I think pleading forgiveness might have been better than a dad joke. Actually the missus was OK with the purchase, not so much the dad joke. I do have a wait of two weeks till I can pick up the compressor as they where out of stock, except for the one on display. Which they where not going to part with. My old compressor is about fifteen years old and has seen better days. You have to give it a shake to get it working and it will stop randomly. So although a spontaneous purchase it was with some thought to what I needed.

I have the same problem pretty much Every time I go into Bunnings, I go in for a box of tek screws and come out with a trolley full of other stuff as well

BTW I bought one of those twin pot "Thumper" compressors from 4WD Supercheap 4-5years ago and I regularly use it (at least twice a week) and it hasn't missed a beat so far

Nothing like a good review. Hope mine does as well.
Cheers Hall

I can see your kids having a whale of a time with the clearing sale!

Well Trouty so long as you got the Tek screws, the important things.

This reminds to go and liberate the bush kettle that dad bought about 25 years ago and don't think he has ever used.

Just my fishing gear would take up a full day at a clearing sale, Tackle shops are even Worse than Bunnings for spontaneous purchases
