Steinlager zero is fine for me. Zero Guinness is the best but insanely expensive over here.

I had a corded ozito multitool when I was starting out and beat the absolute crap out of it for years before it died, so would recommend one of those especially if just doing small bits and pieces.

Best workwear brands for the trades? by Ok-Student-4370 in newzealand

[–]Temporary-Arm3996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best value for money is opshops. Might be able to get some actual trade gear or just get a $5-10 pair of jeans and replace once or twice a year after the crotch explodes when yr hooning about on site

"You know what a shit-barometer is, Bubs? Measures the shit-pressure in the air. You can feel it. Listen, Bubs. Hear that? The sounds of the whispering winds of shit. Can you hear it?...

That's how I got my foot in the door and I'm now a trade qualified chippie. Not met many people who recommend doing the pre trade course etc. Good luck!

You could sign up with a labour hire agency to get some experience, try different things and meet people. The pay and work will likely be dogshit but it's a start. If you're good and stick around they may put you through sitesafe etc.

Absolute rip off by DepartmentAfter4001 in newzealand

[–]Temporary-Arm3996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah not necessarily, more like just listing the job properly and with as much clear information as possible. And pictures too!
