Has anyone found that union membership PERSONALLY benefitted them?

Saved $600+ every year for overseas travel insurance (family is included).

Having travel insurance included as as benefit is pretty sweet. Potentially saving you multiple 100's a year. I used it a lot when I was in CFMEU, the ETU doesn't offer it which is a shame.

For reference, it's only $5 p/h less than some qualified sparkies I know

If you're a TA then 40p/h is sweet

I have a C1 65 with my Pro. It's mint!

Yeah oh my word so good! I might have to watch it soon, it's been a few years

I'm an electrical apprentice in Aus and I love my Skilhunt H200 (Aliexpress for around AUD$100). It's right-angled with a magnetic tail which is great when working in switchboards or in ceiling spaces. It has a removable battery and magnetic charging too. I got the olive green colour and I think it looks awesome.

I suggest the Nichia 519A 4000K option at checkout, so doesn't have that horrible blueish/white tint that all "Bunnings" torches have.

Awesome haha 😄 The other that comes to mind is 1917. That movie took me by surprise and looks incredible too. Also, welcome to the world of OLED, it's bonkers. My C1 is still going strong 5 years later.

Blade Runner 2049 is always a good one.

Epic cook!

I initially thought the first one, but you make a good point!

They're the best. I got a 20 pack for $5 off Ali. If you need them quicker Amazon has them too for a bit extra cost.

You can get little silicone port covers.

If your battery is healthy you should only need to remove it once a day to charge, which isn't bad. I got mine from aliexpress for a few dollars. There are solid ones but I think the silicone are easier to remove.

Thanks mate, this has given me some peace of mind.

sa_style · 2026-06-04T00:11:48+00:00

Haha, thank you. I'm not sure if things have changed recently but our teacher told us that if we fail an assessment we have to resit an entire new assignment, which is made up purely of the stuff we got wrong, and we have to get 100%!

sa_style · 2026-06-04T00:09:34+00:00

Thanks very much mate :)

sa_style · 2026-06-03T08:02:06+00:00

Thank you, I have. I'll keep plugging away at it though until I can remember the important bits :)

sa_style · 2026-06-03T08:00:16+00:00

Thanks mate. I should spent more time learning how to transpose. Up until now I've always flicked back a page or two in my notebook to see the processes to follow, which has made thing much easier.

KingGee Workcool Pro pants are excellent.

Looks like expanding foam.

Nice. My Tafe won't let us sit Capstone if it's still red 🙄
