Thread: Who is going to buy Masters?

I found that there was similar pricing with some items cheaper in Masters while others cheaper in Bunnings. I was doing some plastic plumbing and found that the 25mm blue stripe fittings were cheaper at Masters and I got all my plastic blue stripe fittings from them. On other occasions on other items there was not much difference.

I found Masters home brand Kobalt to be acceptable on their hand tools, I don't work on the tools for my living, I do like to buy quality but can't always justify the big name brands. Put it this way, I don't have much Snap-On but do have Sidchrome, Stahlwille, Dowidat, Gedore, some Kincrome some Swedish tools as well. I try and stay away from the Elephant and Tiger brands out of the new Industrial powerhouse countries.

However the loser is the public if Masters go, competition is the only thing that checks prices from getting out of hand.
