Heading to Brisbane the end of May need to stock up with new hand and power tools tools, any good tool merchants in the area checked out Bunnings when visiting in Feb thought it a bit like B&Q some good deals though.

any suggestions would be great..

Try trade tools direct There's one at Nambour another at Caboolture and I'm sure there's one actually in Brisbane.
They supply all the compressors/air tools etc that you'll need as well as hand tools.

thinking of moving to oz. Is there much kitchen manufacturing work over there?Do u know what the hours and money are like?Do u have a job lined up? My husband works in kitchens and we are just seeing what the opportunities are.

So many new builds at the moment would imagine there is plenty of kitchens being manufactured and being fitted. Hours seem to be the usual 8 a day but if like me being self employed it may be longer or shorter than this depending on the job. When I was across in February carpenter jobs were paying $35 per hour working for a company and $40 - $50 per square metre if sub contracting. Have couple of jobs lined up. Check out the Brisbane Courier Mail on a Saturday - when we were there was about 35 jobs for carpenters. Think a lot of it is through word of mouth also. Hope this helps.
