I was a bit sceptical about this product. At first I thought the weight ratio was off when simply picking up the item. However after a few swings the… Read more
weight ratio balances and the blades splits the wood without much force at all. Very happy with this product and the way it is made.

Gorilla Carts GCG-4-AU

I got the 200L version. It's not cheap, but that's because it's very well built. Excellent for moving pretty much anything. So much better than a wheel barrow. The kids also love jumping in when empty and have me tow the around. Show details
Aqua Systems Wireless Weather Station
Weather or not – Worked well for 1 month then indoor unit failed to read outdoor unit. Batteries were fine.
Crystal Rain Gauge
Purchasing a quality looking rain gauge was desired. The Company (KENDEN lnvestments) was responsive to prompt delivery. A beautiful Crystal Rain… Read more
Gauge product was soured by constant internal condensation that obscured the internal measuring tube. This became annoying. I live in the Qld tropics, not knowing if Southern folk experience this phenomena to their gauges. I acknowledge and own the fact that l unintentionally cracked the outer cylindrical tube to try and rectify the problem. To this end, it came back to the build up of unrequired condensation. I flicked off an email approximately one week after purchase regarding this issue, l have had didley squat contact at this point. Reading some feedback, material quality comes into question. I will welcome any contact from them to rectify.

Holman WX1 Tap Timer

Bought a twin pack of Holman WX1 tap timers via an Ebay store. These worked well for 18 months and then, in the space of two weeks, both units failed… Read more
with the same problem - water leaking from the electronics casing. Sadly, I have been unable to get any joy regarding the two year warranty - the EBay store (Sharky's Shop) won't respond to my messages and Holman won't honour the warranty as it was bought through an online store. Very disappointing!
WHAT A PITY handle is not adjustable – What a pity that they did not make handle adjustable so you can make hole in tight spots. And spare blades not easy to find. Otherwise it is good tool to have.
Great machine – Over the years I have had a few post hole diggers this one out does them all as a one man machine, would recommend this digger to anyone, worth every cent Show details
stripped a gear after pruning one pear tree – Stripped gear, contacted Ryobi Australia to order and pay for the requisite part. They couldn't care less. aAdvised me to visit my nearest Bunnings. Well I'm on Kangaroo Island and I don't have the $500 to go to Adelaide. Show details
Cyclone Thatching Rake
It's sturdy, durable, and makes thatching work so much easier. The quality is excellent, and it feels reliable even during heavy use. A must-have tool for anyone maintaining their lawn or garden!
Holman Turbine Powered Gear Drive Sprinkler
This is the first one I got. Out of the box it has an issue. See attached video. I'll do a complete review when I get it exchanged. Show details

Trident Lawnmowers 4-Core Aerator

Best manual aerator I've used – Wow - I didn't expect that! It really does remove the cores as described [It pulls finger size cores out of the ground like nothing]. I have used a… Read more
few "other brands" much cheaper... you really do get what you pay for here. Its still cheaper than hiring a power corer for the size lawns I was working with.
I'm in VIC and I used it on 200m2 of Kikuyu. It didn't actually take as long as thought [the 4 cores make it that much better] & and doesn't need much force, though I used this in spring so the ground isn't dry but is really compacted mixed with clay and this thing just cut through it like nothing!
I do recommend to [clean it] & "anti-rust" spray it after every use.
AEG 18V Fusion Secateurs Skin ALP18
IMPRESSIVE QUALITY, ALTHOUGH A LITTLE EXPENSIVE I baulked at the price of the AEG when compared to DeWalt and several other 18V secateurs, but I… Read more
concluded that it's a better product than its competitors, and its reviews also backed this up. Having now used these secateurs extensively, I can only say it's a very good quality tool, does a great job, and the small 2AH battery lasts forever as they claim!
Overall, I do think the AEG Secateurs are a little overpriced, but like they say... "quality remains long after the price is forgotten".

Hoselink Ratchet Pruners
LOVE these pruners – These ratchet pruners have changed my life! I had no idea how easy pruning could be till I got these. I have weak wrists and arms and I only have… Read more
to use 1/2 to 1/3 of the amount of muscle I used to use with normal good quality pruners. They are very light and easy to use, though it took me a few times to get used to how to use them, which is by squeezing and releasing the handle a few times for the ratchet mechanism to adjust down each time I squeezed till it cut through the branch.... The little on/off button that slides across and locks the pruners closed doesn't always slide all the way across though, just enough to lock them... if I keep having this problem I'll call them, I've only had them a few weeks.

all work very well. I was really impressed it was the cheapest from Bunnings $11.40 and bought another one 6 months later. Too Bad it's NOT available in Bunnings anymore. Only available via Ebay Australia for 4X the price I paid. I've been using them everyday trouble free now for more than 2 years. If some holes get blocked, use a hard bristle toothbrush to clean off blockage.
Maybe not working now! – I bought it from Bunnings about nine months ago and worked fine until now. Watered a plant then inserted the meter said it was dry. Tried other plants that should be moist but again showed dry. Does it have a battery? Show details

job beautifully. But the instruction book was atrocious, something which is far too common these days. They would have been better off simply giving a website address (which they didn't). Fortunately it was easy enough to do a general search and find the vid on youtube. Good video, good instructions, which is more than can be said for the book which came with the product.
Hot Devil Weed Killer
OK, but will not last long – I don't recommend this product. I have had two of these, one worked ok for at least two years but then the gas canister clip or seal failed and it… Read more
burst into a ball of flame... By the time I put it out it was buggered. I bought another one on special from a home hardware store closing down sale, and that too worked ok until the gas seal was leaking... So of course we remove the gas canister constantly - my wife uses this for lighting the wood heater, I have a much larger propane one for killing weeds and that is much more effective than this ever was. This small unit is ok for tiny weeds and doing a small court yard but no good for anything more adventurous The plastic clip that holds the gas canisters onto the fitting has now failed and the unit is now useless. Basically no matter how much looking I can't buy the $2 part so an otherwise still useful item is now landfill. Not acceptable today. An issue with butane (nothing specific to this device) is that it's liquid temp is about 0 degrees centigrade - this means you use a can for a few minutes and the reduction in temperature of the can reduces the pressure of the butane right down, very soon you are barely generating much more flame than a candle... If you warm the cans up pressure is immediately restored. Once you are below half full you only get a couple of minutes of good pressure and I suspect many part canisters get binned because of this, not very environmentally sound, just cheap I guess.
the sprinkler arrived today wanted to try it straight away was disappointed some holes were blocked or half blocked ans doesn't fan out enough i only have a small lawn area so i thought it would do the job but it doesn't Show details

Sherlock Wheel Barrow

Unsatisfactory fitted handle. Needs better material in it – Bought it 14th March 2023, $199 at Bunnings, Goulburn. When not in use I keep it on the house verandah. So far I've found the wheelbarrow is good to… Read more
use and I think the wide wheel is very good. I have only been using it to move firewood and some garden compost. The main problem I've found, just like others have reported, is the fitted grip on one of the handles has split. I imagine the other will go the same way soon. On asking for a replacement at Bunnings, I was told they don't have that part for sale and that the ones on display outside will sometimes have split before they are sold. I'm wondering what one can do to replace the fitted grip as I would think the bare handle isn't the best way to go. I'll try taping it wth duct tape to see how that feels. Bunnings needs to ensure the supplier uses better material in the fitted grips and then the handle grips might do as the label (still on the wheelbarrow) states "LASTS LONGER".
Dead after just over 2 years – A water timer that lets in water and dies just outside of the 2 year warranty. Great...this will be the last time I buy Holman. Premium price for a poor product. Show details

tooooo weak and cheap. Harness waist straps wear around misplaced Velcro. Pack seems capable of carrying empty loads ok but that's not what it is made for. Avoid at all costs. What a joke, gone back to my old harness (5 years) with cable ties doing a better job

ear protection may be wise. Bonus is seeds are usually nonviable so weeds can reduce year on year. Not available everywhere - purchased from Hampdon welding and gas supplies - efficient delivery. Good that it can utilise economical 9kg gas bottle. Something satisfying in using it :)
