      Is this at Bunnings for $199? And does it definitely list 3 batteries on the box?

    • sillyhead on 18/10/2013 - 13:56

      Is that this one for $199, wheres that deal at?

      • bargaino on 18/10/2013 - 14:15

        Yes, that is the $199 special. But you may need to ask as it is not in the computer.

      • Snoop on 18/10/2013 - 14:33

        Curious what model numbers the actual individual tools are!

          Only info I could find on them was this! Same thing!

    • js1963 on 18/10/2013 - 18:34

      Hi there, When did you get that combo for that price? recently and whereabouts, any chance it is nationwide or just a store markdown?

      • Snoop on 18/10/2013 - 19:12

        I bought one on the way home (Springvale Vic) and they were clearly marked at $199. Comes with 2 x 1.3Ah batteries and a bonus 1.1Ah. I'll have a play with them in the morning to see what they're like!

  • firstpost bekind on 18/10/2013 - 13:53

    Awesome . I hope theres stock left when I go later this afternoon.hopefully they will still have the hammer drill in stock.

  • Rumbaar on 18/10/2013 - 13:53

    South Morang, VIC had 3 left when I just brought one.

    I also found the older spec 1.3Ah battery versions behind the 'newer' 1.1Ah versions. There might be one left behind. It scanned at $199, but there was some other guy there asking about them and I showed them the paper ad.

  • bargaino on 18/10/2013 - 14:14

    A shame it has no charge-level indicator or LED light.
    Even the cheapie ozito has that plus a built-in spirit level.

    Is this how Makita differentiate their budget models?

  • magnus on 18/10/2013 - 14:26

    I just got the hammer drill from Bunnings Nerang. Thanks OP.Not many left.

    Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but it's also advertised in the West Australian today so it's a WA special too.

  • UFO on 18/10/2013 - 14:30

    I just went in to Tuggeranong Bunnings ACT and bought one… 3 left on shelf.

    Picked up a Drill Driver version… I'll never need the hammer function in a cordless. I've got a corded drill with hammer function if I ever need to do serious masonry work. It's not like this drill 'wont' do masonry drilling…. it's the bit that does the work.

    Thanks again OP!
    You know its a bargain when Ozito have a Lithium Ion 18v drill driver with two batteries sitting next to the Makita on the shelf for $229 :).

    Also, the guy I was speaking to in store said they are clearing out these Makita's to make room for Makita's version of Ryobi One…. where 1 battery powers all sorts of gadgets. Good for those that dont have any tools already, but no way I'm getting rid of everything else I already own just to have everything battery powered.

  • Gifwonder on 18/10/2013 - 14:33

  • sealedsoul on 18/10/2013 - 14:40

    just got mine at 1pm at Parramatta NSW, they had about 10 left

  • gravel on 18/10/2013 - 14:43

    I was told the Batteries will not fit the LX models, different design. The charger will not work with the LX batteries either. Can someone confirm is this is correct or not. I have other LX tools.

    • knackers on 18/10/2013 - 14:56

      Not compatible with the LXT range… and it appears that the build quality is a step back from the LXT drills that I own. I may return mine.

      • Fanzao on 18/10/2013 - 15:12

        what's the difference???

        • knackers on 18/10/2013 - 15:25

          chuck is suspect and it felt under-powered .. I can't comment on anything else because I repacked it after realising it wasn't compatible with my LXT skins.

    • Snoop on 18/10/2013 - 15:26

      Makita only appear to have the 2 different battery types listed at the moment BL1830 (3.0Ah) and BL1815 (1.3Ah). This is listed for both the LXT and their other models, so I'm now not sure where the supposed difference is??? Only thing would be, is when did they last change the battery shape in the LXT?

      • nfr on 18/10/2013 - 15:44

        The batteries in these kits are BL1811G, which I've never seen before,

        • Snoop on 18/10/2013 - 15:58

          Well that definitely sucks!!! Maybe old model and/or wholesaler (Bunnings) specific design?

        • Snoop on 18/10/2013 - 19:16

          The batteries in these kits are BL1811G, which I've never seen before,

          Yep, can confirm BL1813G (1.3Ah) & BL1811G (1.1Ah) comes with all of these cheaper lines!

  • diddz101 on 18/10/2013 - 14:45

  • BartholemewH on 18/10/2013 - 15:15

    If it hasn't been mentioned there is also a kit with drill driver plus impact driver plus 2x 1.3ah batteries plus bonus 1.1ah battery for 199.

    These aren't compatible with lxt and appear to be cheaper made but if you don't already own lxt then not too bad.

    • Snoop on 18/10/2013 - 15:32

      Yeah, Rayman161 posted above…

      I think the Dk18041 is better purchase option include normal drill and impact, 3 batteries and charger for 199 down from 299

      I'll be having a closer look at this one!

  • hongas on 18/10/2013 - 15:33

    I got one @ O'conner store in WA. BTW there was 4 on the shelf @ O'Conner store, by the time I came to grab one after browsing all gone! :(

    I got the last one.

    http://www.bunnings.com.au/compare?products=6240176,6240177,

    i'm not a pro to tools, can any1 tell me if why would you go hammer driver over the drill one?

    • daven1985 on 18/10/2013 - 16:02

      Why wouldn't you. With the hammer version you get the hammer function. That appears to be the only difference.

  • Snoop on 18/10/2013 - 16:01

    Here's a great link if you want to check out the specs sheet on it, or compare it to the HP457DWE hammer drill that others have mentioned on here!

    • rainy118 on 18/10/2013 - 16:59

      interesting!the weight is the same, so basically the only difference is the hammer.

      • Snoop on 18/10/2013 - 19:18

        Looks like it. But I went the drill & driver combo for $199 as I've already got a powerful corded hammer drill and I needed something more powerful as an impact driver.

  • daven1985 on 18/10/2013 - 16:01

    Bunnings Gosford are holding a Hammer version for me to pick up tomorrow morning.

    Got to thank their service. Called up before 9 this morning when I saw the deal to have it held, called up just then to change to Hammer verison. Same guy as this morning says 'I am already holding you the Hammer version since you mentioned you want to drill into brick.'

    Awesome.

    I couldn't justify buying one. I wanted to be able to use the batteries and charger and accumulate a cheaper range of tools. There is nothing else that fits these. Better options out there for a little more money!

    • ChmpgneTasteBeerBdgt on 19/10/2013 - 08:58

      I'm almost certain the hammer drill uses the same battery. Bunnings say they aren't interchangable but they're regularly wrong.

      There was someone on here that bought both. I'm sure they'd be happy to confirm this.

  • ChmpgneTasteBeerBdgt on 19/10/2013 - 08:54

    I can confirm the impact driver TD127D fits the same battery as the drill.
    ;)

    Edit: Battery pack BL1813G and BL1811G if anyone needs to know specifics.

  • chirag_patel4in on 19/10/2013 - 10:39

    Excellent deal, however Bunnings still have $199 price mark up but when i show the pic from OZ bargain and they check the price. It was correct $99, I bought 3 of them. Really good bargain. Heaps of thanks for uploading this deal. :) :) :)

  • tztong on 19/10/2013 - 10:52

    Hi I checked it at QLD Compton Rd store last night, there are no more hammer version and only non-hammer version 3 left. Note: the battery are not interchangable to LXT makita tool series. But still a good deal if you just looking for a good quality drill. The price tag on shelf is $99. And there are another combo deal besides: drill + impact driver , 3 batteries, 1 charger (again non LXT battery compatiable) for $199. 3 available.

  • srhardy on 19/10/2013 - 11:54

    You cant interchange the batts/charger with the other Makita line, so its a pass unless you only want a drill (and they do an impact driver in the 1.1ah too at bunnings)

    If you get a propper batts (they are doing 4mah now batts) you can use the same across the whole range, these are made especialy for bunnings and they are made cheap…

  • 2stroksmokr on 19/10/2013 - 13:23

    Used this around the new house today, went well no clue on the speed settings I just put it in the drill mode Shrugs.

    Only thing I bought the 26PC drill set of Makita, first drill into wood and the drillbit snapped in it, like what the hell. Took it back and got new set no questions asked. They are down on special too. $29 & $25 for sets.

    • bargaino on 19/10/2013 - 14:09

      You want the faster gear for drilling, unless it jams with a big bit. Lower/slower gear increases torque.
      Driver mode enables the torque limiter ring.
      HTH.

    • Snoop on 19/10/2013 - 23:40

      High speed is good for drilling and the slower speed usually better for screwing.
      Also , you'll have to take a bit of care if using any bit under 3-4mm. They're only thin!

      They do a corded impact driver that's rated to 100Nm for $99. Or there's the 2 piece 18v combo kit that's been mentioned (drill & impact driver) for $199. And this impact driver is rated to 140Nm.

    Can anyone say hot cakes?

    • kiitos on 20/10/2013 - 20:52

      Yeah, the boxes they (normal drill version only) were on each have two sets, so there were at least a dozen, maybe two dozen, left when I picked one up at 4:30pm.

      There were no hammer versions left, according to the salesguy (though he didn't know the latter were also $99, and said that he found the empty space on the shelves where they had been…)

      Gordon and Belrose had none left.

      makita make junk too. and their warranties are not very competitive (usually 12 months)

      True, they do make cheaper lines… But they're still a $#!tload better than Ryobi, Ozito, etc. or those Target, Kmart, BigW type brands! And the warranty is now 3 years on all Lithium-Ion powered tools purchased after 1st Nov 2012!
