    A reminder to shop around

    Deburring tool & small pipe bender at Super Cheap $28.99 & $62.99. Same at Bunnings and Repco $9.80 & $22.40. Saving $60.00 ish.

    Rather have that in my pocket than theirs.
    cheers,

    There's nothing cheap about super cheap - it's a name only, and has no resemblance to what they actually sell. Ours is right next to Bursons - Bursons are far cheaper even before the trade discount I get from them.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    And Bursons usually know what they are talking about, and stock decent parts, and know what those parts do.

    Only things I buy off super'cheap'...are ridiculously cheap things in catalogue...and even then...I have to check which store actually has them in stock...or as usual I have a wasted trip to my local store to find the shelf empty of that particular item.

    I've found quite the contrary. If I start looking for specialized tools etc I get the 'I dunno' look. Particularly some of the auto electrical tools I've tried to source thru them.
    On the other hand, I got my superpro bushes off them, next day turnaround! Didn't even have to lay a dollar on the table at the time of ordering either!
