Jaycar Hornsby

I can't tell you just how happy I am to be a loyal customer there.
They always exchange stuff that does not work with out question.
Anyways had to exchange the latest inverter and buy yet another solar panel controller having stuffed one recently. So I think the van will now work pretty well as to power..three independent battery systems and two generators. The bargain Genny I got at Aldi, for $200, has sat in its box for months..I didn't need it at the time but at $200 for a 2000 watt unit I could not let it go...and it started first pull.

Thank goodness for Jaycar , there’s not to many electronics shops left , it’s nearly all online now. I go to Jaycar Bankstown and the counter staff are great always willing to help
I prefer to talk to people rather than push a button and buy something on line and Jaycar stock most items I’ve needed but unfortunately the day will come when you will have no choice but jump on the computer
Also with telescope gear I always drive into Glebe and buy over the counter at Bintel , hoping that Don is free for a quick chat

.... especially if you put the onion on the sausage. In the name of safety Bunnings now sell upside down sausage sangers.

Yea David you are right, how stupid, when i get one they say are you going inside if yes the onion is on the bottom and if no the onion is on top.
Man what is this world coming to, they reckon if you take a sausage inside and the onion falls off someone may stand on it and slip.
They are just covering their own AAA.

Its $1 extra if you want bacon, which is still an OK price.

Yes - Jaycar and Bunnings - what would we do without them. Bunnings are also particularly good at exchanging dud items.
Alex -you were fortunate to get that bargain generator at Aldi, I always seems to miss out on their "bargains". Because of the frequent power blackouts in Sydney I bought an Ozito 2.5Kw generator at Bunnings for $500, a cheap brand but well constructed.

That's still a good price for that size.
