Dangerous Masters Chimnea - be aware

[Wapehawi]

Yep.

They tell you how many sausages per piece of bread and what drinks you can sell and how much. ( you cant sell the same drinks as in their shop vending machine ).

Its for " consistancy " accros their stores so that all sausage sizzles are the same

The few I was involved in, we were never told what products we could supply. We were lucky enough to have a butcher and an owner of a few IGA's, so we sourced our products through them.

Local footy club got in trouble cause they didnt toe the company line. Where told that all sausage sizzles are supposed to be the same at all stores

Every time I go to Bummings (for there are no independent hardware shops near my home) I feel like punching someone. I once asked the idiot in the tool section for a 6mm standard thread tap and he told me to try the plumbing section.

I was in Toowoomba then, only one Bunnings and one Masters, maybe less strict there.

" the same at all stores", there's the problem, or is it ? Good marketing on their side as people are after all sheep.
Keeping up with the Jones's etc well Bunnings caters for that hands down.

To be fair I wouldnt ever go to any hardware store for a threading tap.
I go to an industrial supplier like a bearing shop or a bolt shop and get the correct tap and appropriate drill along with cutting fluid etc. I've seen the **** they sell as taps and dies at bunnings and I wouldnt tap anything harder than a bar of soap with them.

Some times I like to go to the likes of bunnings just so I can browse without being harrassed. Sometimes I find in smaller independant hardware stores they can be a little too eager to help when you really just want to browse whilst clearing your head away from the house.

+1 on the Industrial / Bearing shop for sourcing anything like that. You'll find most of them can basically source anything, and keen to do so.

Walked in the BSC/Calstar the other day, bought a heap of gear to rebuild a mig welder runner and hand piece, inner coils, new tips, gas ends, outer casings, all that gear. Thought i'd be up for heaps as I stocked up to future proof, walked out with change from $50.

Why go to Bunnings to get less quality gear from people who couldn't spell 'mig', let alone know what one was.

 

[Dave70]

Our local BOC Gas & Gear shop sure can spell 'mig'.
But you don't get change from $50.
Ok, maby if you buy one piece of engineering chalk.

 

[shaunous]

Yeh, we don't deal with our local BOC shop anymore other then for Oxy-Acet and Argon Welding bottles, and that's only because we have to.

 

[komodo]

BOC can suck my left one. I don't even have an account with BOC any more cause they're dicks.

Supagas or Coregas for us (I think coregas is some how connected to BOC though) All my welding gear though comes from Weldtronics

I love that place.....but I am careful to keep a reasonable distance from it....Its a bad shop...pure evil...

You can anything from Devcon ..to hand cleaner...then there are the casters...and pulleys...and sticks of silver solder....whitworth bolts ( I **** you not ) ....you can even buy a cement mixer and a decent generator to go with it....and high temprature hose...and.....stuff....


Its pure hell.....

Don't forget they sell bulk washing powder, so u can come home with your new automatic welding helmet you never mentioned you needed, and then surprise the missus with a you-beaut tub of septic friendly washing powder....
