    The level of expertise at Bunnies is a little bit of pot luck. You may be lucky and strike a very knowledgeable burnt out tradie.

    I have found our Toowoonba store, which is huge, generally to be helpful and when they don't know they go out of their way to find somebody who does know. However they are not a store for niche tools.

    Talking of size, not all Bunnies are created equal. (A bit like Big W where some stores are only Little W). That may too have some bearing. Toowoomba also has a Tradies Bunnies at a completely different location, which I went to for the first time a short while ago, but they seem to deal primarily in bulk building materials.

    Yep, the Toowoomba one is actually quite good. They are obviously not all equal.

    The one I usually go to has a few ex-tradies around that people point you to if you have a tricky question!

    Not any more, only one I know around me still has these left. I grabbed a few blades as spare before they got rid of them too.

    I've also had the cabinet scraper conversation with them...frustrating to say the least
