I dont have one and it makes it difficult to do a lot of jobs. G clamps are handy but a vice would be great.

You shop like me determining the value of each individual item without considering the total. Me at Bunnies yesterday....

"That's only 10 bucks I'll get one of them."
"I need some cord for the whipper snipper"
"I should try that Danish Oil.... I'll get a medium sized one"
"Should get some super glue"
"Need some more indoor aquadhere"
"Oh there's that glue they were talking about on the forum the other day I'll get one of those only 12 bucks"
"Wow those esky ice thingys shaped to keep your six pack cold are only 5 bucks each I'll get a couple of those.":?
"Mustn't forget those AAA batteries I came here for in the first place...."

Waiting at checkout staring nonchalantly into large cardboard boxes...

"Those brackets will come in handy for hanging stuff from the garage ceiling and they're only 10 bucks"

"That will be $163 please.... credit? :o

Bloody expensive those batteries !!!

And why do you have to pay for something so annoying.
Damn little draws- thing always in the last one- little locking doodad falls off-can't find what you need- go to bu*^%s anyway-spend more than you meant to-find it when you get home-:gaah:.

I was a bit surprised to find that everything on my latest shopping list was considerably cheaper at Kmart, than at Bunnings!

OTTOMH...
Fischer 20 drawer parts organiser - $22 Kmart, $29 Bunnings
Clear 20 compartment box - $9.99 Kmart, $12.99 Bunnings
Crystal Clear 500 ml - $14 Kmart, $23 Bunnings

Cheers,

I'm not surprised Arose.
Big shed; have you ever noticed with bunnies that it has to be exactly the same item.
Now Carl: I of each sized nail, screw and whatever else! Impossible Minimum packet sizes are at least 3 metric handfuls!!. Either that or your purchases were gold plated?:D:D:D:D

Yes, and that is fair enough, otherwise it becomes a free for all.

The items that Arose quotes above seem specific enough, otherwise how could he compare prices?

Carl it wasnt raining today but i bought a couple of things still

The credit card is not as healthy as it was. I only bought one tool as well.
