  • Seems to be a good starting kit. The kit already worth the price (although unsure about the quality)

  • Sold

  • Just got one
    $59 sticker on it but the tool area guy knew about the lower price and reduced it at the tool register
    3year replacement warranty on the box
    decent kit too
    All for $29 very happy

    If you are looking for cordless there is this Ozito 18V Li-ion Cordless Impact/Drill Driver Kit for $88 which was posted yesterday and then removed for some reason.

    • +3

      Different application, impact drills give increased rotation action (for screws etc.) whereas hammer drills give increased inline or pounding action for drilling holes in masonry.

      SDS is a system where hammer action is provided direct to the drill bit rather than the chuck.

  • +19

    Hammer drills are a false economy. In the 5 minutes it takes you to drill 1 hole, I will have drilled 20 with my SDS drill (about $200, plus $5 per drillbit). They're really only good for if you just have to drill a couple of small holes, for instance to hang plants, or if you're drilling through light masonry like a cinder block. Even then you might as well use a regular drill, and provide the hammer action yourself.

    Still, at this price, with the included drill set? Great price.

    • +9

      Why are people negging?? This is fantastic advice!!

      An "SDS" rotary hammer drill is far more effective. I didn't realise they made dedicated hammer drills without an SDS chuck!!

      This would be as effective as your cordless drill with hammer function. They take an age to drill one hole. This product would be strictly for the very light/casual user.

        I think it's a case of ignorance is bliss. People on here don't like being told that there are alternatives which could be better value for money in different scenarios. They are content in seeing a highly voted product and rushing out to purchase with limited research to obtain that rush of dopamine.

        • Buy first then check later what you have actually bought. That's the ozbargain way.

      • +17

        Because all the stereotypical Ozbargain freaks are now standing in line at Bunnings reading your comment, getting all pissy that you're now questioning their purchase, even though most of them have no need for this product (purchasing so they don't 'miss out') or have no idea what this thing even does.

        The reason these units are plain crap for drilling through masonry is their light weight. It's a simple matter of inertia. They bounce. Almost all of the hammering force is worn by the drill body, not the bit. That's why all proper hammer drills have a fair bit of weight to them. Additionally, the amount the bit hammers in and out is minescule. These won't even drill through hollow bricks well. Buy a proper drill folks.

        I used one of these cheapies years ago to drill some 8mm holes to mount a garden tap to a brick wall. New, good quality bits, but it took so long and I had to press so hard that the grease inside the hammer gearbox liquefied and leaked out past the spindle seal onto my fingers. It was easily over 100°C, and it resulted in me going into a blind rage and smashing the drill onto the ground with all my 105 kg might.

        I stormed out of the house, muttering words to the wife about cheap tools not being worth the cost vs time savings, went to a local tool shop, and picked up a Metabo cordless drill/driver, and a hammer/drill combo for $500.

        It drilled the 3 holes, with the blued and worn drill bits, in about 5 seconds each.

        I'll be passing this drill on to my children.

        Is it even worth your time going to Bunnings to buy this crap? Life is too short!

        • +1 for using the words "blind rage"

        • I've got a Bosch blue (professional) 10.8v cordless hammer drill and that still took ages to drill through brick. How did your cordless drill so quickly? Is it a lot heavier?

        • +1

          @marquise:

          My hammer drill is corded.

        • @AlisonP: oic, wasn't clear from your post

    • completely agree with this. I got one of those ozito drills and it was a waste of money and time because it took me a very long time to drill 4 10mm in my bricks. Not recommended. A total piece of F***** crap

      • it took me a very long time

        Must be bad bits or the wrong kind of brick. You were not try to drill 10mm holes in those grey concrete block, were you?

        • Just normal brick. Mine is the 700watt model. I don't think the SDS drill is necessary although maybe something a bit better than an ozito was required. Was using new drill bits.

        • @adam149: I use SDS rotary hammer like a jack hammer to break concrete. Never used it for actually drilling, I'm afraid it will just break through the brick/concrete wall.

          The hammer drill would be more appropriate for drilling. Although I have cracked couple of bricks, using hammer drill. Make sure you get a descent drill bit, may need to use some sort of lube. The drill bit gets hot real quick. Heat kills the drill bit.

    • +3

      In the 5 minutes it takes you to drill 1 hole,

      You kidding?
      Anyone in a brick house needs a hammer drill, and this one is fine for most jobs with clay brick walls.
      Maybe you live in a concrete house, but that is very bad advice for other people.
      I only bother getting the SDS out for concrete, big holes for pipes, or demolition.

      • +3

        I live in a double brick house built in the 1950s using red fire hardened bricks. I was drilling holes to mount a pipe on the wall using a 5.5mm masonry drill bit, 5mm deep. After 6 holes, the bit got so hot the brazing on the tip started to actually melt.
        SDS might be a little heavier, but you make it sound like pulling out the christmas decorations from the roof cavity, its not. I have a bosch bulldog, and I can have it out of its case and drilling within 2 minutes.
        These cheap drills are good for something, just not drilling lots of brick (unless the bricks you mean are the same ones karate experts can break with their Karate chop action)

        • +1

          Using a hammer drill to drill through concrete or brick of any type will generate a lot of heat at the tip of the drill. If you want to drill several holes in a row, you have to cool the bit between holes.

          Your SDS drill is a rotary hammer, this is a drill with hammer action. Different devices. Rotary hammers rotate a lot less, so they generate a lot less heat, because there's less friction. They are better at drilling holes in concrete and brick, because that's what they are designed for.

          This is a drill designed for drilling through wood, with the ability to drill holes in concrete added as an extra feature. As you would expect, not as good at it as a rotary hammer. Then again, your rotary hammer would probably be pretty poor at drilling holes in wood.

      • +2

        Maybe adam149 was holding the wrong end of the drill - it shouldnt take that long! Remember, if your hands end up bloody and shredded up while drilling, you are doing it wrong

    • Completely agree with you outlander. The "Hammer" Drill title is misleading. The best it does is rattle and takes 30+ times longer than a SDS drill.
      How do I know? My neighbour lent me a SDS drill + Hilti (quad edge?? drill bit).. took 4 seconds to drill a 13mm hole about 100mm deep. Literally knife through butter! I had so much time left over, I marked the holes where a partition fence was planned and drilled about 40 more holes for where the poles are to be attached. (Once I see a deal on OZB for fences)

      • I have both, and each has a role. The SDS is kind of heavy.
        One nice thing about the smaller drill is you start off non-hammer, and get more accurate positioning.

      • +10

      What's the cheapest SDS rotary drill?

      • +1

        I got one from bunnings on special for $60 but that was a while ago . They sell an Ozito for $109 .
        I bought mine for a kitchen reno to rip a heap of tiles off a brick wall . Paid for itself 10x over which is good because I've never used it since . I've used $1000+ hilti tools and while they are a lot lighter and undoubtedly longer lasting even the cheapies are overkill for around the house .
        This drill would be fine for the odd hole in brick around the house .

        Up until a week ago I had never heard of a Rotary Hammer Drill (aka SDS drill). Having failed in removing bricks from a wall after using my hammer drill to drill holes in the mortar, it was suggested I try an RHD. So for the past week I've been researching.

        Best offer ATM moment is the 909 RHD1500K from Kogan for $74 ($65 plus $9 postage to Brisbane). Previously sold by Masters (because this is a Masters brand!!??) however I suspect in ending this product, and replacing it with Worx product, Masters must have off-loaded remaining stock to Kogan. Not sure if it comes with set of SDS bits - which could add to cost. However unlike some RHD's this is (a) three mode (drill, hammer-drill and chisel); (b) variable speed; and (c) comes with an adapter-chuck to be able to also use normal bits (i.e. non-SDS bits) Kogan site says 2yr warranty but 909 is usually 909 days (i.e. approx 30 months). Because already discounted until tomorrow, it is not listed in the current 20%-off range on Kogan's eBay store.

        Next best bet seems to be the Masters Worx 1250W which is a product with very similar features but includes 5-pc bit set and is listed for click & collect on the eBay 20% off listing (code C20EXTRA ). I just bought that for $116 because it has the SDS bit set I need and I can't wait for Kogan!

        • +2

          UPDATE: Having now been to see the stock at Masters I could have easily got by with their cheaper model: the 900W Wesco WS90RHK. $85 less 20% - $68 and it is still quite hefty, tri-mode, variable speed, has five pce SDS+ bit set, and - having now seen the box - I can confirm it comes with an adapter chuck for drilling with standard bits! So a great buy at that price. I'll stick with bigger the Worx mode; because I suspect it will serve me well later for ripping out a section of concrete driveway - we'll see if the weight makes it too hefty for drilling out mortar around bricks!

        • +1

          @sw: Cheers mate, I bought the WS90RHK!

        • @marquise:
          Thanks for posting feedback. Have you picked it up yet? Satisfied?

          My task is removing a half brick from every second row in concrete-brick wall so that the wall ends on either side of window space can be extended inwards to make a smaller space for just a doorway. It was suggested to me to try drilling the mortar out with a series of holes and to then be able to remove each half-brick. However trying that yesterday afternoon with the new RHD was still tedious and not a good solution. So I switched the bit and the mode back to the chisel bit and chisel mode (that I had used in the morning with the new RHD to very easily rip up the tiles on the floor) and chiseling out the half bricks worked heaps better and was very quick.

        • +1

          @sw: Picking it up now. Probably won't be using it for a while, but main use is to drill through brick and/or mortar to mount shelving in the garage. Already have a hammer drill and noticed it takes ages to drill through brick.

        • +1

          @sw: Holy shit, it is heavy!

    • SDS is so much better because it is a fundamentally better design-
      Only the drill bit is hammered, compared to a cheap hammer drill
      where both the chuck and drill bit are hammered,
      so a lot of power is wasted moving the heavy chuck.

    Got one several years ago. It came with a 3 year warrenty also. Never got much use until one day i had to do some drilling into bricks. By about the tenth hole the drill died. I still had the box it came with and the reciept was inside. I had four days to go before the 3 year warrenty was up, (it was very hard to read as it had faded). Took it back to bunnings and the guy was not happy. He sort of implied that i buggered it to get a new one before the warrenty expired. Anyway it was replaced with a new one, IDENTICAL ! I could not believe they still had them in stock. He handed it over to me and said that the warrenty on the new one expired in four days. (when the origional one expired).. Be carefull drilling concrete!

    • Used mine for about 3 years. Drilled concrete up to 1.2mm
      It was okay for what I paid, but not great.

      • You drilled concrete with a 1.2mm drill bit? That is some high quality drill bit you've got there.

    I have had an ozito hammer drill for years drilled many holes in everything never had a problem.

  • +1

    At this price even if it dies after 1 project I would not complain.

  • Was actually trying to drill 4 x 8mm holes into a brick wall to install a TV wall mount an hour ago …

    Short story:
    Used a brand new 18v Hitachi brushless with hammer function and Kogan's Certa masonry 4mm (for pre-drill) and 8mm (for the anchor) drill bits = the two drill bits bent after 10 mins of mucking around and the brick wall remains a victor with a few small scrapes.

    Saw this deal and got excited, went on to looking at the 850w and 1500w Ozitos … They are showing only a ONE year replacement warranty on Bunnings website. The deal OP posted, if three years warranty (IMO) is pretty good warranty duration. Unfortunately this deal (I dont think) will make my tasks much more easier.

    • +1

      What kind of bricks? I'm beginning to think the work brick must mean something different here in WA.
      Then again, Kogan …

      • that was a good question … no i have no idea what type of bricks it is. 30 year old house that i just moved in (VIC).

        And yeah (maybe just me) but I thought I used to go through bricks/ masonry easily when I was doing some light weekend work on my Perth property using a cheap Ozito. Or that maybe old age is catching up with me =)

        Yea Certa/ Kogan - pretty hard to resist $60+ for a 300 pieces drill bit set ^_^

      • this seems like a possible answer
        I live in a 1950's double brick, so engineering brick all the way for me.

        • Our 1950s double-brick houses are clay-brick, which needs only a basic hammer drill for small holes, which produces a fine red powder.
          Perhaps your bricks have crushed rock in them?

    • "Ideal" - didn't you read the summary? :-)

    Rotary hammer drill into bricks = very chipped bricks.

    Better to use a normal hammer drill for brick and a rotary for concrete

    • Hmm I just bought a rotary for bricks. What if I start the hole with a hammer drill and then keep going with rotary? Will that reduce chipped brickwork?

  • Can you use these as a screwdriver?

    • +2

      Crudely yes. Believe some bits are included for this purpose.

    • +1

      sure, you will most likely either break the screw head, burn the motor out, or damage the screw bit.

    • +1

      Not ideal but sure you can. It has variable speed and also controlled by the trigger so def possible. Although the drill is too heavy for any regular screwing activities

    i have founs ozito products not that great. is ozito owned by bunnings?

    • +2

      I believe it is an exclusive brand to Bunnings. They may own it.

      • I worked for Brashs many years ago & we were flooded with certain brands like Teac, Sherlock, Masuda etc which they either owned or had partial ownership of.

        I had a GMC cordless drill (I lost the charger), & it was far superior to the Ozito cordless. I later replaced it with one of the Ryobi One+ which is the best of the lot.

        I was told that Bunnings replaced GMC with Ozito, as GMC had stock in HN & Big W. They cancelled all the forward orders with GMC, & sent them broke.

  • +12

    lol I'm surprised (may be not) people getting all technical over a $29 drill with accessories. Obviously this isn't the bees knees of drills or for those regular users. This is just for the occasional home handyman who needs to drill the odd hole to make their Mrs think they're pulling their weight around the house. For that purpose it's great value. I'm going to get one.

  • +1

    About 10 of these left at Underwood Bunnings (Compton Rd), you'll have to go to their Tool Shop, it's right beside the counter there.

  • I bought the same drill without accessories for $40 an year ago. Still works great.

  • Ozito must ground up the workers, add chemicals and make them into the out plastic mouldings of their products to warranty rubbish for years! And turn profit!

    • +4

      Ive got a bunch of ozito stuff. Dont use any of it daily but never had to use the 3 year warranty, which is why i buy them in the first place. Ive got an angle grinder that is 10 years old and worked perfectly just last week. Ive also got a jigsaw that is about 6 years old and is used at least once every second month - again works perfectly. If i didnt have a hammer drill already, id grab one of these for sure

      • I have a belt sander and a dremill i've replaced 3&4 times respectively over 6 years, they are the best for warranty

        • Actually i forgot i did replace an ozito rotary tool / dremel - the chuck locked u but i over tightened so was mostly my own fault…What went wrong with the belt sander? i bought one about six months ago to rejuvinate an old jarrah outdoor setting…worked a treat for that

        • -1

          @pointless comment: just too much dust fed into the motor and it set it on fire!
          No questions asked just replaced!
          Only thing ozito i would steer clear of is table saws and drop saws, they are always out a few degrees and makes life difficult.

  • Masters Worx 1250W rotary ($145 before the eBay sale discount) or Bunnings Ozito 1500w $139?

    Which one? Any views?

    • the more powerfull one

    • 5J vs 5J
      I compared both and bought the Worx 1250W @$116
      Worx 3yr warranty vs Ozito 1yr warranty!
      Worx is tri-mode (not sure Ozito).
      Worx is up to 3700bpm vs Ozito 3000bpm.
      also Worx has variable speed (a separate dial not on trigger) and Ozito has no variable speed.
      Plus Worx includes adapter chuck for versatility of being able to use with normal drill bits.

      Also NB my positive comments above re Masters smaller though still pretty hefty Wesco WS90RHK model for $85 (with Masters' eBay store 20%-off was only $68)

  • About 7 left at Chatswood (None in Artarmon). For the avg DIY this is a no brainer. Just tested it and it sounds like a jet taking off. Pretty scary.

  • snagged one from Kilburn, SA. great deal especially considering the kit it comes with.

  • Got one from Mile End SA, counted @20 left on the pallet when I left 5.30pm Saturday, drilled some holes into an aluminum door frame install a couple of locks, works well for the price, I'm happy.

  • Thanks OP, got one from the Seven Hills store - Have to tell for the price it is a steal, the accessories itself is worth more than $29.
    For those who couldn't get one today, one of the staff members said that this was a promotional item and there is more coming to almost all stores (in Sydney) next week. So those who missed out today, check with your local stores next week - Good luck!

    Oh one thing that I thought would have made this even better deal, if the pack included a carry case for the drill :-)

  • +2

    Excuse me, but maybe I have misunderstood.
    I thought SDS refers to the quick release system of the drill bit.
    However, there are 2 types of action of masonary drilling - hammer pin action (slow, less effective) & rotary hammer action (fast, more effective). SDS is totally separate to the hammering action of the drill.
    After having used a rotary hammer, I would never buy the pin hammer type. From my experience, rotary hammers are at least 20 times faster.

  • +5

    A "rotary hammer" should not be confused with a "hammer drill"…. completely different tools.
    The first is a hammer tool that rotates and is technically a demolition tool, the second is a traditional drill that has a hammer function to allow you easier drilling into soft masonry like besa block or limestone.

    For a cheap hammer drill this is a good deal. It'll be fine for wood, metal, and very light masonry jobs. If you expect hard stone and cured concrete penetration "like butter", this IS NOT the bargain for you. As an example, a hammer drill (regardless of the bit you use) will have a very tough time going through hard rock (like the type in a retaining wall, or marble for instance). Look at the impact energy (measured in Joules) on each of these products if you arent sure. A rotary hammer is basically a mini jackhammer. A hammer drill will NEVER EVER have the impact force of a rotary hammer.

    If you want a cheap rotary hammer, Ozito also sell one at Bunnings for $120 (or thereabouts). Compare the specs on that with this item to better understand what each item does. Both cheap for what they are, but VERY DIFFERENT.

    A corded heavy duty drill for $29 is still a bargain though.

    My dad always said use the right tool for the right job.
    All the horror stories above about melted drill bits and failing equipment burning hands is due to the wrong tool being used, and its incorrect use.

    A Hyundai Excel can technically tow a trailer.
    And a Kenworth truck can technically be used to go to the local shops, reverse park, and load the shopping into it.

    But both are crap at doing things they arent designed for ;).

    If you still arent sure, You-tube "rotary hammer v hammer drill". There's a great video that'll show you the difference if drilling holes into cured reinforced concrete. The operator does things that I wouldnt recommend (one hand drilling) to demonstrate the ease one drills holes, but the difference in equipment is obvious. Great learning tool.

  • Bought one from Lidcome NSW this morning, at least 6 left. I also saw boxes of Ozito Cordless Drill Driver, 2 x 18V Lithium Ion battery packs, 10MM Keyless chuck, variable speed reversing, CDL-1810, for $69.00 with 3 year replacement warranty.

  • Bought an ozito cordless 18v drill from last deal, should I buy this? Are they similar things just corded vs cordless?

  • Bought one from Chatswood (NSW) this afternoon (Sunday) and used it to drill few holes in bricks. It worked great! Thanks for the deal :)
    No stock at Narrabeen & Balgowlah shops but at least 10 left in Chatswood when I got mine.

  • Can this be used without the hammer function?

    • Yes.

  • Purchased one of these from brookvale NSW Bunnings, 8 left in stock

  • Hmm..Might buy this just for the drill bits alone…

  • Bought one, very happy:)Thanks OP.

  • got one at West Footscray Vic. There were about 20 last night at 7PM

  • Got the last boxed one from Fountain Gate (VIC).
    Also got a few of the $9.50 shelves too.

  • There is one more drill left at Thomastown, VIC, nine (9) left in Eltham with none left in Northland or South Morang.

  • Knew those $9.50 shelving at Bunnings would come in handy.
