Thread: Masters Hardware, How good!

Seems a pretty good place, and a definite oppo for the big green one. Unfortunately, I doubt that there is ever any likelyhood of a Masters being within 100 km of here.

Yep, they're definitely competitive with stock holdings close to the woodworkers heart, a better alternative than the big B who mainly cater to the home handyman. Their range of power-tools are disappointing though, mostly cheap plastic carp.

Big B barely cater to the home DIY handyman sometimes. Continual deletions, not to replaced, like #4 x 12mm brass plated screws, 25x19 brass plated butt hinges, timber finished excep Feast Watson or Cabots; just to name a few. Sure, all can be gotten on special order, but at a price!

I cannot wait, I have a Masters store opening in August which is literally less then a 5 min drive, in all honesty prob about 2-3 mins away.

Bunnies on the other hand is about 25 mins away.

I am excited )~~~

'arf you luck, arry.

I think theye are opening a branch at Chullora in Sydney in the next 12 months, that will be my first sight of Masters

Masters have taken the best and most important component of Bunnings though, the fund raising sausage sizzle on weekends !!!!

Seriously, I reckon I have one lunch per weekend at the Port Melbourne bunnings. Occasionally the sausage sizzle guys get it wrong by offering unrequired fancies like wholemeal bread options but still good stuff . then i may or may not actually buy something at bunnings....

I get the impression they are trying to live between bunnies and ikea.

I have yet to come anywhere near a Masters store. I guess I will eventually drive past one in the future. Now where did I put my Tarot card.

I have heard that Woolies are opening a MASTERS , close to all big green sheds, I was not impressed with prices , and felt hat they looked like a woolies hardware store with retro-vision add for good luck.

I am spoilt as i have 3 Bunnings with in 25min and a Masters , plus M10, .

I find that I use BGS , for timber that Masters do not carry, and Tooling, just brought an OZITO 125mm orbital disc sander, not as smooth as the Bosch it replaced , but 3year warranty, and 1/3 the price, .

As the saying goes" HORSES FOR COURSES".
