Haha reduction surgery perhaps? At least you can tie a knot in it to remind you of ALDI SPECIAL BUYS

Is it just me, or does everyone have the luck of buying stuff that is faulty. It seems every third thing I buy has to be returned. My latest list.
1 x dash cam. 1 x battery charger. 2 x Fridges, yes the first brand new one had sweet bugger all refrigerant. The second was just a dog of a thing. Thankfully they took it back and we bought a different brand. 1x reciprocating saw.
How the hell do manufacturers make any money?

I bought a milwaukee router and today, the courier dropped off a box that had bits and pieces for the router, but no farken router.
My bad luck is always postage related.

Bought a Makita 18V brushless grinder 2 weeks ago, absolute magic flexibility and today whilst using it, cutting light - 1mm galv sheet, the thing stops and red button on etc, close inspection shows three of the screws holding the gearhead in place have come loose - screw driver to tighten and 2 are stripped already so i don't have to wait and strip them myself - so a trip back to total tools tomorrow for a warranty claim - maybe 2 hrs old.

Pretty frustrating mate! They aren't cheap either! I scored one via redemption a years back, chose the 7" but could have chosen a 9". It's a beast, I have used on several occasions and haven't had any dramas

Unfortunately Philstar you may well experience in this new age a fairly decent wait for replacement.
I have no gripes with TT or any other like business model tool suppliers ST etc...
The new business models of this millennium appear to work on the skinniest of margins and unfortunately have to defer all claims back to OEM suppliers and their warranty chains I’ve personally found.
Bought a top of the line, biggest-badest most expensive Makita original belt sander a while ago now which failed and was apologetically contacted by TT monthly as to their suppliers woeful updates on fixing my 1 week old purchase.
Have experienced exactly the same with BCF and a kind family birthday present Waeco Solar panel kit that required myself to divert from store and self deliver to an outer suburb garage elecy genius that had his hands tied from paperwork bullshit.
Top bloke did his best and eventually replaced the obvious controller issue after they swore otherwise and eventually gave up his contract I believe was one of his last fixer upperers for them :-(

We are a Milwaukee dealer at work and if a tool fails within a certain time frame (usually 1 month) it will be replaced on the spot. Otherwise yes it does have to be sent it for repairs but should not take longer than 2 weeks...

That sux mate. Do me a favour and start a thread specifically on this paint issue in the Y62 section please and add any correspondence or Bulliten details you.might have, the forum will benefit from this traffic as it becomes a bigger issue. The big GUIV Dash bubble saga saw a lot of people miss out through a lack of info. Let us get on top of this early.
NB . My GUIV just had a closed door respray under insurance and the price was $20k....
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!
....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

The saw was from Bunnings, but the nearest to me is an hour away, so I had to wait until we are travelling to drop in and get a replacement.
