The 4Ah batteries are normally $99 each and when they're on special at $49 it's the black Aldi-price-match ones, these are the full-price red ones with a charger at just slightly more for two plus charger than a single battery normally costs.

Nice, I don't see that in the Powerpass app, is that a pre-packaged product, or was it a combo deal? Which store did you see it in?

walk://your_local_bunnings/entrance_to_tools_section.

 

 

It's not on the web site, you need to visit your local Bunnings. The two I was in today both had them piled up at the entrance to the tools section.

I was in Westgate and Constellation, both Auckland, but given that both stores had it I assume it's a general deal for all, or at least many, stores. That's why I posted the info here, it doesn't seem to be advertised anywhere.

 

 

Edited to add: It's two of these and one of these.

Picked one up from Silverdale today, still plenty in stock. When I plugged it in there was a quite a noticeable high pitched noise, did anyone else notice that? My original charger is silent.

Sounds like switchmode power supply coil whine. Is the original a fast or standard charger?

Original is standard. Yeah you're probably right, just wondered if anyone else had noticed it

Thanks. Picked this up to in Petone. I hope it’s an ongoing deal. Didn’t realise it’s the twin fast charger. I have two single fast chargers so this was a great deal!

Can I conclude by the lack of replies that nobody else notices a loud whine, almost hissing, when plugged in? Might have to go get a replacement.

Any recommendations on a nice drill to pair with these.

The top end ones looks to have a 13mm end but all feature hammer mode.
After just a solid standard drill.

Just get the standard brushless drill. I got the drill/driver combo set and sold the 2Ah batteries it came with which was cheaper than getting the skins separately (this was some years ago, things may have changed since then).
