The right angle drill attachment looks interesting:

Hot DAMN if I didn't need the drill or impact driver that would be one hell of a steal!
Have been using the Ozito Power Xchange tools but mine are brushless. I've been pleasantly surprised but only use it for DIY, not heavy use.
Definitely great value at under 200, even if not brushless.

Seems like the main diff is that Bunnings is a 2 and 4ah battery.
Aldi is 2x4ah.And not sure if it's just not stated on Aldi, but seems like it's a full 5 years for skins and battery.
Bunnings is only 3yrs on batteries.From my recent Aldi 20V battery purchases, warranty for the charger and 2Ah and 4Ah batteries is 1 year only.
If they matched it with their power-x-change gear, it would be an amazing deal!looks like they (mostly) have and it is!This seems like a good deal but the power-x-change tools seem to be made to a higher standard IMHO, the ALDI range has brand name cells though last time I checked.
Bunnings have some brushless in the Ozito range, so would only match brushed and possibly batteries if also also have batteries listed as separates.
If aldi get brushless tools, that would be a game changer.
Aldi do sell a brushless hammer drill (not the drill in this deal) and I think there a was blower vac recently that was brushless.

+1 for uploading the whole freaking catalogue. Good effort!
Very few people have a use for a damn impact driver.
Give us an impact wrench.If bunnings counters with Ryobi, I'm in.
i'd jump on that like a fat kid on cake if it was the case. they ever done something like that before?
been looking to get into the One+ system and this might be the push i need- +4 votes
Just get a hex to socket adapter set:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/3-Pcs-Socket-Adapter-Set-Driver-...
$5.48 for a 3pk. Then you can torque off nuts with your impact driver as you please & still drive screws - which you can't do with an impact wrench.
ooh thanks, didnt even think these existed! now to find a drill to allen key adapter!

You'll be wanting a security bit set
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/33pc-Security-Bit-Set-Drill-Star...
These have equivalent Allen key sizes from 2-6mm. The others are handy to have for the occasional torx or tri-blade screws if you ever need them.
yeah im sad, i invested in the Ryobi ONE+ range back when it was common on here, but now they just focus on the ozito power X range for discounting against products like this.

Odd. I use my Impact Driver very, very often! Restoring & Renovating an old house so I've got a Drill & Impact Driver pair within reach at all times.

What are you smoking? Impact driver > Impact wrench!
(I build things at home rather than working on cars)
Really just need an impact wrench. Also that drill bit super set looks really nice.
for 200 .. this is a pretty decent set for home use.
what the hell is an environment meter?
Noise meter for one, maybe humidity/temperature for the other?? Which would be a glorified weather station - dunno if that seems right or not.
Looks like it measures noise levels, but it's probably not much better than a phone app.
handy for those with aftermarket exhausts. Wish i had one when i received an EPA notice in the mail.
Not joking, serious question. Would either of the drill or driver be powerful enough to do and undo wheel nuts on a car?
+1 voteThe driver would be ok for undoing but I'd not use to tighten as you've no way of know how tight you've put on.
Are you overtightening the wheel nuts? Most folks don't know but thats potentially a bad thing and you should be using ballpark proper torque levels (which is definitely not a problem to undo etc). Aldi torque wrench is around $20-30 when it comes up - works exceedingly well & takes pure guess work out.
So you likely could use the driver but it's not meant for it and I'd avoid for anything but removing.
The Ozito one rated at 150nm doesnt eve have enough power to remove wheel nuts. I had them set at 100nm and didnt budge. I was curious to see what torque it could remove so dropped it by 10nm until it undid the nuts. It was less than 70nm.
I doubt this also one would have enough power.
- +1 vote
No. If it ever manages it, it means your wheel nuts were loose.
You'd also have to use a hex-to-1/2 adaptor like this >
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/3-Pcs-Socket-Adapter-Set-Driver-.... You additionally loose power by using the adaptor, and they are also just too thin, and will break with moderate force.You want an impact wrench. I have this one > https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-one-18v-3-speed-impact-wre... I paid full price, and not once have I regretted it.

Thankfully Aldi has their 60 day satisfaction guarantee - as I've only tried one tool from their 20v Xfinity range, the blower that was around $160. Without doubt the worst blower I've ever used! Claimed up to 200km/hr but there's no way it's even half of that. Even the $15 Rok I got as a Masters special out performs.
Perhaps these tools are superior or I got a dud unit - dunno but it went back after a single day.
IMHO these Xfinity specials are best used to leverage Bunnings counter Power X Change specials, which they do in advance of Aldi to try and 'head them off'.
PS. FWIW those Aldi drill sets are junk - ok if you want a lot of stuff that you'll likely never use - but the actual quality of the items is very poor. Again IMHO you'd be better off buying one good quality set of HSS drill bits eg. Sutton - and get cheapie Bunnings ones for the occasional use ones when/if you need them e.g hole saws, masonary bits, drill stops etc.

poor offering from bunnings this time - no 2 x 4.00 batts major difference
It's a preset combo though.
I'd rather the Power X Change range due to constant availability - I can't take an Xfinity tool back in a month if/when it stops working and just grab a replacement to continue the task. Sacrificing 2Ah of battery capacity for guaranteed stock seems a good trade - especially when you can just grab another when Bunnings matches on the next tool sale ($40 for 4Ah last time).

Yeah, if something brakes it will likely be halfway through a job, being able to swap the tool out for a replacement straight away to finish the job is worth a fair bit IMHO
- +1 vote
Can't agree more. Continuous availability is the main reason I went for Ozito Power-X-Change in the first place and have replaced nearly all my basic power tools with Ozito. Some are amazing and some are so-so but nevertheless it all wins even over high-end tools for one reason only… if anything happens at ANY time of the day I know I'm an absolute maximum of about 12 hours away from getting a replacement (ie. when Bunnings opens the next day) and continuing on with the job and that's absolutely priceless when restoring/renovating a house.
This all started with the demise of a very expensive ($700+) Professional grade Bosch Sander I was using when I first bought the property. It was only 3-4 years old and hadn't done a lot of work but I'd bought it specifically as I knew I'd need something hardcore when I eventually started renovating. Piece of crap blew its motor capacitor after only about 5 minutes of light use! Looked up a replacement cap and it was going to cost $150 and take days to arrive. The Bosch junk went in the bin then and there and that's where my Ozito collection started. Interestingly I've probably only spent around two-thirds the cost of that Bosch Sander on all the Ozito tools and batteries put together and I've only had to take one thing back and that was a Sander after I used it non-stop with 4-5 4Ah Batteries over 6 hours on an external wall. It was still working OK but had the beginnings of a nasty sounding bearing squeak so next time I was in Bunnings I swapped it for a brand newbie. Problem solved.
A difference, yes, a major one, no. I often find myself going for a smaller battery due to weight and bulk so there are advantages to both depending on what/how you are using.
small batteries fine for smaller tools but useless for bigger ones. prefer batts that can do all skins.
also still have muscles…
It's also worth noting that the Aldi ones are 2x 80Wh batteries and the Bunnings ones are one 36Wh battery and one 72Wh battery.

That's just because Aldi are claiming 20V (fullish charge voltage) vs the more widely used 18V (nominal charge voltage) at Bunnings, they are effectively the same thing.
I assumed it must be different cell technology/arrangement, but perhaps you're right!
- +2 votes
@spludgey: Aldi do use brand name cells last time I looked, so probably better quality but doubt there would be much if any difference in capacity.
i know this was covered before somewhere but i cannot locate it
Can you charge Aldi's battery with Ozito charger? and vica versa?
Probably, but only if you want to 3D print an adapter etc etc.
I think they're probably wired the same but the slide shape is different so not really worth your while.
I think I may switch over from Panasonic to this one.
I have a 18V Panasonic drill/driver and looking for a circular saw skin. The bloody skin is $400!
Check out this deal as well, both are great value https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/378519
Careful with the Ozito Circular Saw… it works 'OK' but is probably the least accurate tool out of my Ozito lineup. Just down to cheap bearings (blade wobbles about) so although they're surprisingly powerful (easily cut through 42mm solid Grey Ironbark shelving!) they're not designed for fine work. I assume this Aldi stuff would be very similar if not identical.
Why would you need a laser on a circular saw?
Laser guides are definitely handy on a mitre saw bit circular saws aren't exactly hard to line up.
Annoying! I just want the angle grinder and saw maybe one 4ah.
Maybe I can sell the other bits
Thanks OP, took 3 Bunning stores to go through but got 1 :). Been tossing between Ryobi or Ozito as I’m sick of my current 5 different chargers so didn’t want to add anymore until I chose 1. This price just made the decision.
Receipt scanned in and saved so any warranty issues just walk in to the nearest Bunnings in the next 5 years :)

I just returned my Ozito Power X Change 18V 5 Piece Kit to Bunnings yesterday due to the power was weaker than the Xfinity 20v.
I compared the Ozito impact driver vs Aldi impact driver(bought this one last month) vs my 4years old Ryobi:
The aldi beat them all, its ok for if the ozito couldnt beat the Aldi, but the fact it was weaker than my 4 years old Ryobi is a big disappointment.I could see a big difference between the aldi and ozito, meanwhile the 4 years old ryobi slightly better than ozito.
Of course, if you go with the Ozito, it would be much easier for you to claim warranty. But in this case, i would go for either aldi or Ryobi (if i have more $$$)
Just my 5cents opinion.

Are the Aldi and Ryobi impact drivers a lot louder than the Ozito? I returned the Ozito kit as well as i mainly bought it for the impact driver. When i tested it, the 'impacts' were so quiet compared to a makita one that you could tell it didnt have much torque. Definitely under the 150nm spec.
You cant really expect something to perform better just because it is newer though. The Ryobi may be designed to a higher torque spec. The current Ryobi impact driver has a 220nm spec which is higher than a lot of the big brand names.

i just bought the aldi one today
theres a miss print in the catalogue
its only 3 years on the tools and 1 year
on the batterys so think it will be going back
and geting the ozito- +1 vote
Just called Aldi customer service to enquire and they confirmed it is a 5 year warranty with supplier and i'm getting them to resend me 5 year warranty cards through email.
When I get them I'll repost here for convenience.
It seems I did the same thing as a lot of members here in buying both the Ozito and Aldi kits to compare.
I returned the Ozito kit to Bunnings as well having tested both side by side.
Both drills are comparable but like others have found the Ozito driver is gutless. Also the Ozito circular saw is nothing to write home about either.
Before calling Aldi I thought I'd made a mistake (re Warranty) as I returned the Ozito kit before reading your comment thanks for the heads up :-)
Ozito introduced a 165mm version of the Power-X-Change Circular Saw a few months ago. I took my 150mm back as it just wasn't accurate enough and swapped it for the 165mm… and even got a small cash refund in the process as the prices have dropped over time. Wasn't ever expecting full accuracy from the original 150mm but it was just sloppy mess after only a few cuts. The newer 165mm model is obviously larger, has a proper dust extraction port instead of a rectangular slot and although I've only made a couple of cuts it just feels better overall. Oh and it has a light built-in too, not a laser though, just a handy little white LED to help track the marking in the material.
I've also heard the Ozito Power-X-Change Angle Grinder is currently out of stock in many stores and there's a good chance the new stock of it may also be an improved model! Still very happy with the Ozito Power-X-Change Eco system, the continuous availability of it all and the zero-hassle returns/exchange policy with Bunnings but to now see they're actively improving the lineup is fantastic!
Oohh, wonder what bunnings will offer?
