Shame on Bunnings for selling such rubbish This mini grease gun - and other cheap Chinese products should not be allowed to be sold in Australia. … Read more
moreover ... shame on me for buying / falling for ... a cheap Chinese junky product. I should have known better.
I knew this product had a very high probability of ending up in the bin ... which it did. The steel/components in this thing had the tensile strength of an arrowroot biscuit ... that had been dipped in your morning coffee. it seriously was like hard cheese. basically fell apart and squirted grease everywhere the moment I tried to insert the grease gun onto the grease nipple.
but sometimes you think ... hey!!! ... its cheap !!! .... give it a shot .... right ? Maybe you will get lucky right? I just need it maybe once or twice a year ... for half an hour ... just a quick lube of the camper trailer ... surely it can do such a trifling task ? ... surely ??
Nope ... not even 1 proper greasing of a little camper trailer, before it basically disintegrated.
places like Bunnings etc need to be careful selling these junky products, they can lose their DNA/reputation by selling such blatantly crappy fake junk ... that they well know is not up to the task.
in all fairness ... the staff at Bunnings were great ... and returned it quickly, promptly and no questions asked.
but sheesh guys ... just stop it !!! .... stop selling junk.
learnt my lesson now. if you want a cheap tool .... buy a good brand on Facebook market place second hand.
Really easy to use, quick and value for money – A light but well built floor pump I'm using for my mountain bike. So much faster to use at home; the tiny pump you ride with is still a must but it takes so long to pump up a tyre because of the small air chamber.
Surprised! Got us out of a predicament – We have an ancient Makita circular saw and have mislaid the blade as we possibly took it off to get it sharpened. It was 180mm and when we went to… Read more
buy a new one Makita, and all the other brands no longer make that size except for CraftRight. It was also a lot cheaper & had 3 blades instead of one in the pack. I have used it and cuts great but was surprised that the plain side of the blade showed (out) instead of the brand when it was fitted on the saw. It got us out of a pickle especially when we don't use it very often. Thank you to CraftRight.
should be illegal to sell rubbish like this – The best feature of this set is that it is in a nice box. The “center” drill is so blunt it it would not drill through craft wood. The drill is not… Read more
actually in the center and causes the assembly to wobble all over the place.
Calling this a hole saw is grossly inaccurate. A hole burner is probably a more adequate description as the only way it made a hole in a piece of craft wood was by burning its way through. I used this to make 1 hole which it was not really capable of doing, it will be returned to bunnings next time in there and certainly not for a replacement.
Cheap tools are rarely worth much but usually they do get the job done at least once - this is so bad even suggesting this is a cheap tool is an insult to cheap tools.
As mentioned in the description selling rubbish like this should be illegal as it does not fulfill its intended purpose in any way.
Craftright 100 pce screwdriver bit set - don't buy – I wouldn't normally buy anything branded Craftright, but I wanted a second set of bits for a spare. These Craftright ones are widely available at… Read more
Bunnings and eBay for $10 - $20. Well the time came when I didn't have my usual bits so had to use these. 5 of them broke or were distorted driving small screws into pre-drilled holes in softwood. That says it all.
I fully agree with the majority view that this product is poor. My first rivet only partially rivetted before the gun failed to pull any further on… Read more
the pin to complete the job. Nor could I make it let go of the rivet pin, so the gun was attached to my work. I then unscrewed the nozzle with some difficulty, as directed to clear a pin jam. The working parts then came out as separate bits. I studied the bits and managed to work out how they should be assembled.
Normally, when you remove the nozzle adapter you would see a cylindrical part sticking out, but it would not be obvious that this unscrews to disassemble into bits, as mentioned above. I then reassembled the inner works and tightened the cylindrical part with a pair of pliars. Thus, I assume that the cylindrical part was already loose when I bought the tool.
I then proceeded to rivet my job using the fattest of the supplied rivets. The first one was more or less satisfactory, but the subsequent five all broke the pin about 1 or 2 mm outside the visible end, not close to the blind end as they should have done. I then filed the broken-off end of the pin until it was flush. Fortunately, appearance is not important in this case.
So, I have been able to complete my small job with a lot of hassle, but I definitely do not recommend using the suppled rivets if you want a neat job.
The brand name "Craftright" seems to be one that Bunnings applies to all manner of diverse products. This product says that it was made in Vietnam.
A vice-shaped object which, at first glance, looks like a vice – This vice-shaped object (VSO) is made from very brittle and thin-walled cast iron. Clamp a thin strip of metal in this VSO, give the strip a few… Read more
mild taps with a hammer, and I almost guarantee the VSO will snap right through the neck before you've managed to bend the strip. I'll give it two stars because, if you only use it to hold soft objects (balsa wood, tissue paper, fairy floss, etc), and merely blow gently onto the workpiece and whisper to it rather than performing any actual work, this VSO can likely be made to last for several years.
Rubbish – I bought this brand from Bunnings as I could not see just the replacement blades for my existing hacksaw. It came as a pack with the saw and 5 blades. It went blunt immediately and would not cut through butter.
useless craftright shifting spanners – the rotating adjustment "wheel" just rattles during use and LOOSENS. you have to keep adjusting it tight. I gorilla taped the things (3 of!!!). absolutely a design flaw - don't buy
Worst piece of mass produced rubbish I have ever bought. Used once and the Y yoke adjuster literally fell from the plane as I was using it. Tried getting a replacement part from Bunnings and the guy in the Tool shop looked at me like I had two heads!
Another great DIY learning opportunity. I wanted to take down kitchen blind brackets and come up against a number of screws that were damaged. … Read more
Googled and watched umpteen number of YouTube clips. Many referenced 'Screw Remover Sets'. Went to my local Bunnings and found this set that only cost $6.98. My tradie son turned up and asked what I was doing and thought he could the do the job with a screwdriver. A few minutes of grunting later and I handed him the set. He asked me what it was and he used it. The damaged screws came straight out. Tradie son was impressed and took a photo of the set to buy one himself. A double endorsement.
Very first time I extended it more than 6 m, it broke. A plastic bit inside. There is nothing else to say but that reviewing other Craftright products, this was the last one i bought.
Absolute useless piece of equipment – Purchased from Bunnings to plain a sticking door ... Absolutely inadequate as the supposed Harden Carbon Steel Blade was useless as it would not even dig into the wood at all
But how good should it be for about $10?
