Takes 3 weeks to come from china so u wouldn't want to be in a rush ! Got drill bits a few weeks ago and they are grand. Aliexpress could be my new addiction!

That looks like great value for the price, the professional Bosch stuff is super.

It arrived today. It feels solid enough. It is the Lighter range of the professional range but still.

They do one with a hex inside and 1/2 square drive outside. Use it at work everyday. Drives coach screws 8×80mm without a bother will easily take off the 13mm head if ur not carefull and has changed a couple of car wheels as well. (Probably not recommended)

I'm thinking delivery in a Hiace van is included as well? :pac:

I'd be a bit suspicious unless I was to pay on delivery.

They have a kit up for 99 that cost me 2500. I'll be far sickened if it's genuine.

I chanced the makita set for 99 E I think it's china it's coming from.

longgonesilver

Website registered three weeks ago.
No address or phone numbers.
Broken English in terms and conditions.
They manufacture their own products, and have machinery to make sunglasses.

Launched at a holiday time when people might let their guard down.


Probably not legit.

Indeed. If anything arrives at all they will probably be cheap knock offs that could potentially pose a fire risk. Could be the most expensive set of tools yet.

It is the batteries that are the difference between a good tool and a bad one. I hope you find value but if they turn out to be cheap Chinese knock offs it is the batteries that will be the obvious give away.

I cant post links but if you search '2L/4L Cow Calf Lamb Milk Feeder Bottle' in aliexpress its shows the exact same calf feeding bottle as the 4L Speedy feeder that is sold in coops for at least 40€

Is agri direct cheaper than coops or other farm stores, certainly at times you do see value on products,!

Their prices are saucey enough. I think the only way to get any value is to buy out of season items. In fairness they have a good range of products and delivery service

They are generally beating the co-ops and agri stores on smaller items where deliver costs are not huge such as dosing and fencing materials. You need to check both Agri direct and Magenta as there prices vary. Watch out for there sales, I got great value on Black friday weekend on Bimectin super, trodax etc. But Albex was cheaper in the co-op to buy. It a case of shoppiong around and knowing your prices. Very handy to order it and get it delivered to your door a few days later. On special sales you could be waiting a week for delivery but on the other hand have been into a co-op store twice in December looking for stuff that was out of stock.

At 195e joining membership you would want to be buying a lot of there products and be saving the 30% on everything you buy.

Pity they don't let you see the prices of the items so you could compare figures before joining

They're the members group of Magenta Direct.

Great value for vaccines in particular, I find.

And they have a rule where you can only price things so many times without buying.

The first batch of vaccines I bought from them few years ago, I saved more than the yearly membership compared to buying from my local vets.
They are bit reluctant to quote prices, to non members cos they were finding lads were just using their prices to haggle from local co-ops etc.

That's fair enough too if ppl we're just using them as a lever to get the local place to drop the price.

Great savings if your buying large amounts by the sounds of it.

You're correct; I signed up for email alerts from wholesale welding but seem to have gotten this other crowd as a bonus.

That’s two models older than the current one.
Have a look at Makita.
I’ve DeWalt here and I can’t fault it.

We went for the one in my post. A friend (fitter) recommended the brushless for a bit extra was worth it. we probably wont use it enough to make the difference, but sure hey. He also recommended DeWalt.

the only piece of dewalt equipment we had was a big hammer drill.
Dad had it the guts of 10 years when he leant it to an uncle...a month later he calls in looking a bit sheepish, he had burnt out the brushes. he had brought it to a place to get new brushes, long story short it turned out it was a knock off

Are you getting them cheaper than 116 for a box of 20? 120 is the best i can find.. in the market for a few boxes..
