    Is this a good, general all round drill for doing simple jobs around the house? (I've never owned a drill).

    Thanks!

    • +4

      Yes

      • -5

        Hold on, isn’t this a drill driver? It’s not for making holes, it’s for putting fixings into stuff.

        • +5

          Serious?

          Its a drill with an adjustable torque settings for driving.

        • -2

          @geebee: If what I said isn’t the case, why do drills often come in twin packs with both a driver and drill?

        • +3

          @Burnertoasty:

          Because they come with a drill / driver and an impact driver which drives screw faster, easier, less breakages and can drive a larger screw or bolt, they are very nice, but not essential as a drill/driver can do most of the same work well enough.

        • +2

          i have an IMPACT driver and only use it on large and long screws into timber , impact drivers have anvils inside that pulse the action once friction becomes an issue.

          normal drill/ driver actually gives you more control on drive depth unless you have a variable torque impact driver and they are typically $200 - $300.

          this drill is good choice for DIY as it has the 18v charger so you can add other ozito stuff as you collection grows.
          eg bigger batteries and brushless tools.

          most of my stuff is makita so i’m sort of locked in but if they ever do a killer 4 ah battery deal again to compete with aldi i might get some ozito kit.

          @Burnertoasty:

          A cordless drill driver can function both as a drill and an electric screwdriver.

          Those drill and driver twin packs come with a drill driver, and an impact driver. An impact driver whacks on the screw rotationally until the screw is driven in. It has a different chuck (takes hex heads) and can't typically be used to drill things.

        • +1

          @Burnertoasty:

          Because when you build stuff, you often have to drill a hole (using a standard drill bit) then put in a screw (using a screw bit). Since you do this all the time, and you need different bits, two drill is handy.

          I just have a 15yo GMC old drill driver and have to constantly change bits. It works but its a slow process.

          Cheap drills work fine for most homeowners. Where you may need a better drill is long holes (eg posts in a deck), large diameter holes, concrete, or doing things all day where light weight counts. 240V drills are still around.

      • are aldi workzone drills better quality?

        • +1

          Cannot comment on quality.

          But Ozito you get 5yr warranty on the drill and 3yrs on the battery.

        • +1

          make by same company if you stick with the 18v lithium though bunnings warranty you can get replacement …. aldi would be refund as their specials come and go and then you have no drill.

        • The one I got from ALDI is less volts but seems otherwise identical but with hammer function and was $49 with 5yr warranty and 2 batteries

        • @fredk1000: And the Warranty is quite fuss free . Take the item to bunnings and they swap it over there and then .

        • Aldi are OK for the price. The issue is there have been different battery sizes, and you can't just go out and buy a higher capacity battery or other addon. The 240V stuff is good for the price.

          Down the track you might think you want a small vacuum or phone charger or charging the battery in your car or camping light. This is where ozito, ryobi and makita have the advantage.

    • +1

      Yes.
      I hung all curtain rods and blinds in our two story wooden frame house.

      Setup a theatre room with projector screen mounts, heavy duty speaker mounts.

      Drilled hundreds of screws for the aluminium slat fence, and they were drilled into 4mm thick steel posts - it wasn't butter soft, but the torque was good enough.

      2Ah battery lasted a full day of screwing, phew!

  • +1

    "Is this a good, general all round drill for doing simple jobs around the house? (I've never owned a drill).

    Thanks!"

    Yep, exactly what it is designed for, plus comes with all the essential starter bits, looks like it is usually $99 without case or accessories.

    • +4

      The Ozito Power X Change range is just rebranded Einhell from europe, perhaps you should try it before shtting on it?

    • And you clearly have no (profanity) idea

    • +3

      Yeah, my "Ozshito" 18V drill died last weekend, it was "only" 10 years old too.
      Original batteries stillstill good for around 20 minutes each.
      Bloody keyless chuck has jammed somehow, otherwise everything else is fine.
      It probably only had a handful of uses per year, but that's all I needed.

  • Sorry for stupid question does this go through plaster/concrete well? Or do I need a hammer drill?

    • +4

      Plaster - No worry
      Concrete - No way

      • -1

        Sorry I meant plaster and bricks

        • +1

          You'll need a hammer drill for brick.

        • Yes it will work with bricks. However it will be tougher to drill and shorten the life of your masonry bits.
          For the odd job here and there it will be fine.

        • @ddd: thank you!

        • +1

          @ddd: no it won't - definitely need a hammer drill

    • for concrete/brick work I'd recommend an earlier deal $188 shipped DeWalt hammer drill, just got mine in the mail after ordering last week.

      https://sydneytools.com.au/dewalt-dcd796t1-xe-18v-6-0ah-li-i…

      If you need something sooner, Bunnings have the AEG brushless hammer drill with 6.0A battery for $199

      Sure, its not $69, but you're getting some serious gear in return

      • Thank you! Just wondering is there any reason you would need a normal driver if you get a hammer driver? Cheers
        Also, what drill set would you recommend to go with the drill?

        • +2

          Hammer Drills are much heavier and bulkier to use, you’d only need to use them with concrete or brick. You can use them for wood and plasterboard but if you’re doing a lot of holes you’re arms would get really tired. Plus hammer drill you wouldn’t use to screw with so you’d need a normal drill anyway. Hope that makes sense.

        • @gdiddy7: > Plus hammer drill you wouldn’t use to screw with so you’d need a normal drill anyway.

          Hammer drills can be put into "normal" drill/driver modes.
          (The AEG one anyway)

        • @gdiddy7: thanks!

        • @dufflover: sorry I was just generalising

        • Hammer drill is basically your standard driver plus the hammer function, it also has more grunt. So anything you can do with a standard driver you can do with this. These are also brushless, which should indicate better quality and lifespan, but as mentioned below, it's sometimes lucky dip as to how long your drill is going to last. In regards to the weight, sure they're a little heavier, but not heaps. The most weight sits in the 6.0a battery which is chunky. If it's a problem just put it on ebay as they sell for around $140/150 and get a 1.5 or 2.0A for under $100 and they weigh much less.

      • That looks like a good deal. I've got an old GMC drill that still works fine, but I can see the need for a major upgrade as my projects become more ambitious.

      • Just bought the top of the range AEG drill & impact driver kit for just over $600 after nearly setting the entry level driver on fire (gut's melted and smoke pouring out the back). The new drill stopped working after 5 screws, then started working next day, but temperamentally. Seems ok now but not a good start. I've got plenty of other AEG cordless orange, and going back to when they were blue - all fine, so I was not impressed by this. Particularly as it is at the top of the price range - higher than Bosch Blue now.

        Best thing for concrete is SDS bits & drill - far better than a standard hammer drill.

  • Tried a few Vic stores and could only 'add to wish list', unfortunately.

    • If you set your local store on the Bunnings website then each item will show wether it is in stock there,
      If it is out of stock then there is a link to 'Check more stores' which will show where it is in stock at other stores.

      • +1

        I don't see that. Instead, I see "Not all products available in all stores"

        • Same here.

        • At the top of the page (for me) it States my local store, its address and opening hours and a link to change store.

          Under the price it says In Stock at my local and a link to 'Check more stores'

          I can't remember where to do it, but if you set your local store for the website it should shows this for you as well.

        • @xev:

          I've had that set for a year.

          Not for me.

    is it good enough for loosening nuts when changing tyres?

    • +1

      It won't break them loose if they're done up correctly. But after you break them loose, put it on 2nd gear and the come off quickly.

      • +1

        you need wheel brace to break the nuts loose and the use drill driver so you don’t need to finger tighten

        they have special impact drivers for wheel nuts and other heavy duty tightening / loosening jobs.

    • +1

      No

    • +1

      No, for that purpose you need impact wrench.

    • +1
    • For taking tyres off random cars and trucks, you need an impact wrench.

      If we are taking about a car, my tip is to remove tyre (hopefully with little trouble), apply WD40 on nuts & rim, reattach type. Repeat X4. Tyre will be easy to remove for at least 2 years.

      Check pressure including spare tyre. Do all this before a big journey.

  • Doesn't seem to be stock anywhere in WA. Can only 'add to wish list'.

    • +1

      I don't think you can buy anything on bunnings website, you have to go instore.

    • You cannot buy it from online, have to go to the shops.
      You only can add it into the wishlist online.
      You may type the postcode to the area which indicates you to change the store (right hand side at the top), if you may add it into the wishlist (this means this store has the same item for sale at the same price). To secure the item, you have to ring bunnings to reserve it for you.

  • Another Ozito deal on? hmm might pop in tomorrow to see if any of the tools I might actually get happen to be on special …

  • Will this start my edger that has a broken rope pull / recoil mechanism?

    I wish I could get just the drill. The quick charger and battery already came with the trimmer and blower I got this morning.

    • +2

      You can get the drill driver (skin only) for $39

      https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-power-x-change-18v-drill-d…

      But it is worth paying the extra $30 for an extra battery

    • Bear in mind that battery you got this morning is 3.0Ah and the one in [this kit]https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-power-x-change-18v-compact-drill-driver-kit-with-71-accessories_p6290611 is only 1.5Ah.

  • Sold out at Caroline Springs. Vic 3023.

  • Great buy if you haven't got a cordless drill already, but not that great for me, I was tempted cause it was so cheap but with no hammer function it seems so so….

    Go for it you you need a drill :)

  • Got the money to buy but no skill to use it… Meh..

  • Which hammer drill to buy?

    Bosch, Makita, Ryobi or Dewalt?

    $200 budget and I want brushless.

    • Almost all brands have a range of quality. For example the former trade favourite Makita now has cheaper tools. I did favour AEG as great bang for buck, but I've had a couple fail recently and they're becoming to expensive for their boots. I'd say for average handy use Ryobi. For serious handy to light trade, I'd tend towards Bosch Blue. Bosch green are nothing special.

    • Youre in luck - this has been a fan favorite cracking deal since Black Friday

      https://sydneytools.com.au/dewalt-dcd796t1-xe-18v-6-0ah-li-i…

      • Can you recommend me a drill bit set to go with that drill? Using the drill for concrete, tiles, wood and my rock hard walls.

        • if you are doing a fair bit of concrete, bricks or rocks get a rotary hammer drill and run off 240V.

          Rotary hammer has completely different action to the impulse hammer drills, faster, bits last longer and don't overheat the bits.

          Cordless rotary hammer is about $260 just for the skin and you need big batteries hence go 240V.

    • Dewalt if you can get the current bundle with 6ahr battery, their tools are 18v/54v so they are already seeling batteris for their next gen tools and they are backward compatible, other make you add 2 batteries for 36V, great starter kit the dewalt, bunnings sold out but some places still have some, Bosch as their battery have vert little smarts so cheaper for aftermarket batteries.

      I have Makita ….. nothing special, no cheaper than bosch or dewalt but they do have lots of skins.

    retailers really need to put in a much better effort to get their online stock level quotes correct. gone are the days where people went to the stores and spent hours aimlessly wondering around until they found what they after. i want to go online, find out exactly which closest store to me has the product, drive there, go to the exact isle its located in, purchase it and leave.

    it is these same antiquated retailers who cry the loudest when the likes of amazon and aldi come and take over. get with the times or get left behind.

    • by the time you drive there the stock might have been sold, so click n collect is only option and that is still store specific …. or ring store and ask to reserve for a day or 2.

      looking at how quick some of these deals move unless it's reserved by the time you get there stock is gone….

      Ring your bunnings store, they will check exact stock levels and call a store to reserve.

  • Much better than buying everything separately! Bought this 2 years ago and returned it because it was messy to store (separate drill bits/charger) and then had to buy a tool bag to put it in. I returned it all shortly afterwards as I didn't have much use for it. Bought it again today because it was so much cheaper & a great all in one kit!

  • Following stores out of stock -

      The $99 drill does look the same, but is a different product, without the added drill bits. I.e. if you can find this deal you're getting more for less.

    About 5 available in the tool shop at Box hill. Went to buy the impact driver skin and a kit of drill bits because 2 hours ago when I called the store they said its not available. But when I walked in I saw multiples of these on the floor.
