I created this thread to avoid clogging up the for sale thread with random stuff.


Kmart have Maximate 14.4v Drills (and other tools) on sale for $12.99 until Wednesday the 5th of September

I saw in some Bunnings junk mail that they have a portable C02 system to power pneumatic tools when you don;t have a compressor.
The device looked pretty small but it didn’t have much info and I have not made it into Bunnings to check it out myself.

Update
I stopped by Bunnings and had a look at the system. It uses a 800gram aluminium bottle to hold 540grams of c02. It has a regulator system that reduces the pressure to a user set range of 0 to 120PSI

The regulator costs 150$ and doesn't come with a bottle.
Each bottle costs $75 full, with swaps costing $16. They look to me like a paintball bottle but I am not that familiar with them.

The bottle has an inbuilt valve and pressure release port. The thread size is 0.625 x 18 UNF (whatever that is?)

To sum up, personally I don't think it is very useful at all, but still interesting. Plus a good excuse to go to Bunnings.

regulators and bottles are cheaper from American paintball websites and $16 for a refill is a rip off since we can do it ourselves for less then $1.

Yep, thus why not very useful!

I seem to remember giving away so many cheep drill motors I don`t have any matching spares left!

Maybe we should buy a few Kmart sets while they are available from RFC funds and re sell them for spares and for newbies!?

kmart up here has 19volt or so drills for $25 if anybody is interested

and the radio would make a good upgrade to sponging off Bort's old FM radios (which is the current plan)

Has anyone actualy had a real problem with the turnigy cheapo 2.4g radios? They're like throwaway in cost XD
