Tyre Change Over
Permalink  

 

I have around 27 tyres on various vehicles and RVs (including spares) at home, when a tyre/s need replacement I take them off at home, drop them in to be replaced and later pick them up. Have a Heavy duty Trolly jack and medium unit so can do a side (2 wheels) at a time if needed.

Years ago was given a ½ inch Rattle gun, charger and 3 batteries, batteries have now died, looking at Marketplace, the Gun, Battery and charger are selling for $500, 2nd hand, a Repack below $99 with all the cut up/replace effort. Its a pity that a Battery manufacturer in China for Rattle Guns sold in Oz is not available to Ali Express or Temu

Complete China Brand, Rattle Gun ( including 2 Batteries and Charger) ex China $89 Free Shipping. ( + Tax)

(Note: am Not suggesting a Forum member buy the above. I do not know the supply voltage etc, etc)

Temu is a bit like ebay in that there's a large number of suppliers selling products. Quality varies but it's all usually bargain basement stuff. In my brief experience of buying some items from there, I found the quality of electronic items to be very poor.

 

I'm not a fan of temu's buying process and I prefer things to last a bit longer, so I won't be getting anything else from them.

Made 1 purchase through Temu and both the purchase and the solution of a dispute from Temu was atrocious. That has been the 1 and only ever purchase threw Temu. Never ever again and would not recommend to anyone try Temu. Just my experience.
