Does anyone know of a way to get a good deal on powertools/saws? While i could wait for farmdays or something like that i'd prefer to buy retail. I'm thinking about the higher end models of dewalt, bosch, makita, etc.
Good deals on power tools?

Will keep an eye on them cheers, second hand is fine as long as it's in good condition.
If you are after 18v cordless tools (systems such as Ryobi one+) once you have the charger & battery, it is usually much cheaper buying the skins from overseas from vendors such as Amazon.
Am looking at shop tools, might try for a price beat at mitre10. Alot of tools are not on the website but are instore and are cheaper at bunnings.
I've realized some of my Ryobi gear from a few years ago is compatible with one+. Where do you buy your skins? Just amazon?
Ryobi is actually cheaper from Homedepot or whatever it is called in the states and Amazon UK normally sometimes has shipping to NZ on their skins at a decent rate. If you wait for a really good sale you can get a $200 bought locally skin, shipped to NZ for $100 or less.

We kinda get screwed here, Mitre10 and Bunnings both have their own lines so their "15% price beat" is kinda BS.
Some people have recommended i tools website. I want to spend around $500-1500 all up for a big pack of tools incl the accessories.
Drill. Driver. Circ saw. Multi tool. jig saw. Charger. Battery. Clamps. Work bench. Some jigs. Stud finder. Set level. Set squares. Hand saw. Chisels.
The jobs i want to do are.
Rip off old lino.
Install/build laundry cabinets and bench.
Rip out single wardrobe door and framing and then enlarge wardrobe hole to double size. Install wardrobe and sliding door. Install new framing and plaster and trim.
Replace some timber framing damaged by bora in garage.
Rebuild some planter boxes.
Sounds like alot of framing-be sure to support any structural loads and consult a chippy, if its an old home be aware of asbestos in lino glues and stuff :)
didn't know they put asbestos in lino glue. it's timber floorboards then some sort of cork type layer then lino on top. 1965 house, not sure when they put the lino in.
From memory the glues usually had a black.grey appearance
Here is the lino

I-tools is good, i've purchased a few tools from them (milwaukee). I'd take a serious look at the Ryobi + one or whatever it is, looks to be good value. I have milwaukee, and will stick with it as once you pick a line it makes sense to stick with it. That's why I suggest the Ryobi, a mate is reno'ing his place and has all sorts of ryobi gear, the likes of drills, reciprocating saw, impact driver etc. All of which looked to be better value than my gear…
For gear i'm not fussed on being cordless I use Black and Decker, I have big drill, jigsaw, power sander, and a few other bits. Hitachi circular saw and some bosch thrown in. Black and Decker is sweet for DIY stuff, i've had zero problems and they are always well priced.
not exactlly a power tool. but these vise grips are a great price. I added 4 to cart and it came to $30 a peice with shipping nzd

easter specials?
New or second hand?
Often Turners and Greys etc. do liquidation lots that include power tools.
