    What's amazing is that these were only $21 at full price.

    These will break the first thing they are given hard work? And then you return them at Bunnings for the equivalent of two large pizza?

      I'm recently on my 2nd one after about 5 years with the 1st. It took far, far more punishment than it ever should have (I think I paid like $18 for it) and I only killed it in the end by putting a wire brush on it to clean some wheels, which killed the end bearing (but the motor still works fine). I was amazed at how well it lasted.

      It depends on what you’re doing but you’d be surprised how far you can push a lot of these cheaper tools before they fail.

      My XU1 hammer drill is about 7 years old. Use it about 1-2 times per month and it's never missed a beat. If you just need it for casual DIY don't see why you'd need anything fancier.

    I bought one for $21. Very, very reasonable for the money IMO if even just to have hanging around. Works very well as just a regular drill, too.

  • xev on 24/10/2018 - 22:04

    XU1 is owned by Ozito who are owned by European brand Einhell.

      yeh but Einhell only manufacture the Ozito XChange (Red) ones though?

      • xev on 25/10/2018 - 00:52

        They do the other ones as well. If you look at the Einhell website you will see most of the grey Ozito products, but Red versions which I think look much better than the grey IMO.

    Clearly from some of the comments I have been very lucky. I bought one of these 5 years ago as a throw away for renovation on our stone house. for $19.95.

    The drill has been used almost exclusively as a hammer drill. It has drilled hundreds of holes. One stands; pilot hole drilled out at 10mm X 300mm through 280mm of stone, then reamed out to 25mm X 300.

    The drill is still going.

    Your mileage may vary, but what do you want for < $20.00?

      Are you selling yours??,,

  • zzyss on 24/10/2018 - 23:33

    These are corded, right?

    I got burnt by buying a cheap Ozito battery powered drill, which after a couple of years I was no longer able to source the battery for it, making it a useless piece of (otherwise perfectly fine) junk.

    • llama on 24/10/2018 - 23:36

      Yes these are corded.

      You can often get new battery packs from eBay. Takes a bit of searching to find the correct fitment.

      Also you can get them repacked, and you can buy your own cells and repack yourself if you are a handy person.

    • Lead Wings on 25/10/2018 - 11:53

      Was it a gray 18V? I have 3 and need another charger for mine - if yours the same and not working, want to sell the charger?

  • llama on 24/10/2018 - 23:34

    I dragged out my XU1 hammer drill the other day. It's about 5 years old and done quite a lot of work. It's 100% fine.

    The only problem on my (older model?) is the speed control dial inside the trigger button. This style of control is a bit strange as it's just a normal variable speed (like a cordless drill) and then the dial thing is a variable end stop for it. So, it physically prevents you from pressing the trigger to increase the speed - the issue is that it's pretty rubbery feeling and vague, not very accurate or repeatable.

    For the price, how can you go wrong, and as most people point out they last years with normal household usage…

    I have the angle grinder and its not bad, does the job.

    • kaizen on 25/10/2018 - 01:09

      same have the angle grinder for the last 6 years still going strong lol

  • twister292 on 25/10/2018 - 02:09

    Sorry, completely unfamiliar with tools, so a noob questions coming…

    Can this drill take screwdriver bits? I am assembling a lot of ikea furniture, and something to mechanise the screws would be a god-send!

    Also, does this have variable speeds?

    • Zalur on 25/10/2018 - 02:49

      Hammer drill is for hammering, not for screwing

      • twister292 on 25/10/2018 - 02:49

        Can it work as a normal drill though? Can you switch the hammer function off by any chance?

        • guidedlight on 25/10/2018 - 05:47
          +2

          You wouldn’t want to use screwdriver bits with this drill. Even if you disable the hammer function, this drill has no torque control. So it would likely strip the heads of most screws.

            @guidedlight: Thanks a lot! I'll probably get a variable torque impact driver later, for now I'll stick with the cheapo Ozito rechargeable screwdriver

              @twister292: Get an impact driver, the only people scrwwing with drilled these days are the over 50s that didn't have access to impact drivers when they learned the trade

      In addition to all the other replies, I'd like to point out that this is a bigger device. For assembling furniture, you'd likely want a smaller, handier powered screwdriver.

  • Hoju on 25/10/2018 - 06:14

    Same as some above. Have had the equivalent $15 Bunnings offering from 10 years ago, still going strong

    Wish I’d bought better drill bits, those are the things that fail fast when cheap

  • morebunnings on 25/10/2018 - 09:11

    Got one of these drills last month for $15. Decent quality for the price. My last $15 Bunnings drill lasted around 8 years.

    Found an impact drill for $15 at Supercheap Auto for anyone interested:

    Just stumbled upon it while looking for a regular drill.

    I have the angle grinder. The longest session I used it for was to strip the old paint/rust off a vice I bought. Probably used it for 30mins straight doing that. Still working fine.

  • Butterfly Gocha on 25/10/2018 - 11:26

    Can anyone recommend some good masonry bits to go along with this? Looking at drilling some ~20_25mm WeeP holes For the concrete patio.

    I know eBay has some but only need it for a few applications
    Thanks

    • Jackson on 25/10/2018 - 23:31

      I usually use the basic craft right cheapies from bunnings. A set of 10 can cost less than a single Irwin or other name brand bit. They arent great but they are fine for drilling into bricks. Concrete depends on the concrete really. I would recomement piloting with small bits that are cheap and then using a single decent larger bit. That way you arent wasting and expensive large bit and arent loading the drill to highly.

      Bits i have bought from Aldi have been much better than the craftright ones IME and sets can sell for 8 bucks that go from 5 to 12mm

  • vedhabala on 25/10/2018 - 16:45

    I have bought a XU1 cordless from Bunnings for 79$ to put a hole into brick for camera installation,tried multiple masonry bits but it didn't work because of not enough power, returned it and then got a corded one(Aldi Product) from my neighbor and it worked well. Last week bought a Black & Decker 500W Hammer Drill from SCA with 20% Off for $60~, hasnt opened it yet. Can this Corded drill on offer suits my purpose? I dont want to have a costly one if the cheaper one does the job, i will probably use it only for security camera and clothesline installation not after that.

    Appreciate your response.

    • followmeya on 25/10/2018 - 21:07

      hi buddy, next time you can try ozito….

      • vedhabala on 26/10/2018 - 21:35

        Thanks Mate

    • Jackson on 25/10/2018 - 23:54

      It will work, an AC drill is always going to run faster and with more power than a battery operated one. The other thing to consider is that if you are using crap bits or if they are worn or burnt a hammer drill is going to be useless. The tip of a masonry bit is hardened so if its missing or worn the bit will be useless.

      I have the Rockwell from super cheap and even that was able to drill into the hardest concrete i have drier into (prefab structural stuff) after some time, which is why I mentioned the drill bit condition

      • vedhabala on 26/10/2018 - 21:36

        Yeah it make sense, thanks for your time mate.

  • ToeKnee on 25/10/2018 - 22:26

    Just bought one an hour before closing. Unpacked it to find that the drill bit jaw is missing. Welp, lack of quality control is one way to keep the costs down.
