    Torque seems low? My brushed ozito impact driver does 150nM

      Impact driver is completely different mate :)

        Yeah I know.

        Reckon this is any good?

          for $50 why not :)

            @ntb: Good review but not sure if he was reviewing a brushless model?

            • @edrift: It is, it was written on the box

          • @ntb: great share. thanks

          If you do not already own a cordless drill, and you need to drill masonry occasionally (e.g. have a brick house) buy this now.

          If you don't need the hammer, maybe the XU1 instead?

          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/432220

          Impact drivers are handy too, but totally different.

        • clearly you don't, hence you decided to compare the two unfairly.

          • @NoApostrophePlurals: Well hammer drills are normally rated with bpm or something so I found it curious they had a torque rating instead.
            I actually don't know what a regular drill driver or hammer drill torque should be.
            All I know it's that my impact driver was not able to undo the nuts off my motorbike but my neighbours brushless impact driver was able to.

            I'm trying to understand which part of the specs the brushless motor helps. Speed? Torque?

            My brushed drivers (drill or impact) both smell like the motor is burning if heavily used. Hoping this cheap brushless driver works better

    • +1

      buy it. throw it out when it stops working… $50 for 2x Li-ions and a charger is good. This deal is insane but most people already have bosch, milwaukee, ryvita etc. Never use a tool if you don't know its capabilities, you will hurt yourself or your wallet

      • +2

        Yeah man.. I own a Ryvita but they are shit. Always breaks when I try to drive a screw. Maybe I don't know it's capabilities!

  • +1

    wall plugs in bricks thats all I wanna do, will 18V hammer-ness cut it?

    • +3

      Yes it will

  • Any idea if the batteries are compatible with black and decker or other brand tools?

    • Only with an adaptor

    • +2

      This Toolpro and the green brushless Rockwell drill drivers use the same battery. I have both and swap the batteries around all the time.

      • This is good to know, I can noe keep an eye out for toolpro skins, been looking for an rattle gun

  • Have a browse in drills as there's an 18v Rockwell ShopSeries Cordless Drill on sale as well for $40

    • It's not brushless

      • Does it really make much difference for the home handyman?

        • Probably not for me and I figure there is more to go wrong with the brushless electronics.

        • +4

          Brushless vs brushed is not a great differentiator. However 50Nm max torque vs 18Nm makes this a better deal. If you are still not convinced consider the 13mm chuck vs 10mm and two batteries vs one battery.

  • Thank you OP, pulled the trigger.

  • Is this a better drill/deal than the Bunnings XU1 18V Li-Ion 2 Piece Combo Kit for $49 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/432220 If so, can anyone explain why? I'm struggling to compare the specs.

    • This toolpro is brushless

    • This one is a hammer drill which means you can drill into masonry / brick / concrete and a lot more useful than a drill driver or impact drill. Can't vouch for quality between the two but if you only want one tool to do most of the drilling / screwing this would be it

    • It really depends on what you need. If you never see yourself drilling into masonry get the xu1, impact drivers are great for driving screws. If you do need to drill into brick, then get this and lookout for a conpatible impact driver maybe? Or buy the xu1 kit and see if you can find the xu1 hammer drill which was 39 bucks, then you have 3 batteries and 2 chargers.

    • Yeah I bought both & the XU1 2 piece set is rubbish by comparison,to give you an idea of build quality this thing weighs more than both those put together, XU1 doesn't even have a 2 speed gearbox

  • Reviews say batteries are failing pretty quick.
    Wouldn't trust something going on clearance when shit like that happens (unless you can find a workable adapter).

    Glad I picked up 2 x 4ah ozito batteries and a fast charger when Bunnings was honoring Aldi deals.
    Got a brushless drill driver skin and it has been awesome.
    Got a brushless jet blower with 2 x 3ah batteries and a dual fast charger for $149 also so feel like I should stick with the Ozito gear now I'm slightly invested in it.

    Since Masters disappeared a lot of this line (Stanley and its friends) has been pretty condemned I think.

    • +3

      I miss Masters (even though I never set foot in a store). At least they provided some competition.

      • +3

        If you had ever set foot inside a Masters store, you would know how disappointingly small their level of competition was. Half their products were the same price as Bunnings and the other half were more expensive.

        SCA, Aldi and others provide more competition than Masters ever did.

        • And never anyone around to help, and when you did find someone they were hopeless (worse than bunnings!)

        • Other than the last few days of closing down

      • Bunnings thanks you.

    • Are Rockwell and toolpro stanley? Are the batteries compatible?

  • Can you use this as a screwdriver?

    • +3

      get an impact driver for screwing, it will change your life.

      • +1

        Might need ear muffs too

      • -1

        It might end my life mate lol

  • Thanks. Got one.

    Bunnings offer a 12v brushed version for $59 with 2 batteries so this deal sounds good

  • +1

    Hmmm keeps saying item not available in your cart when I try to pay

  • oh rookie error… i forgot shopback/cashrewards!

  • +1

    Don't waste your money on these no name drills, even home handy man stuff around the house. The poor man really does pay twice when it comes to power tools.

    • well in my case this is my 5th drill… haha….

      i really am poor now…

      1st - some really cheapy 18v nicd drill driver before li-ion was mainstream
      2nd - 18 li-ion 909 brand
      3rd - corded ozito hammer drill. Actually pretty good but only negative is that it's corded
      4th - ozito power xchange 18v li-ion brushed. This is pretty weak.
      5th - this ToolPro drill

      • +1

        I personally stick with Ryobi stuff it's above average quality and performance at a DIYer price, plus plenty of second hand skins or kits on gumtree/cashies

      • +1

        Pick up a dewalt when on special.
        works above and beyond. I can focus on the project and not on my gear.

        You’d be able to afford one by now too. It was only $180

        I second the ryobi too. Had one for years and beat the crap out of it

    • Second this advice - better off getting the $200 AEG hammer drill / impact / torch combo at Bunnings. Much better quality and opens up all the different skins AEG produces + 6 year warranty

      • +4

        The AEG brushless drill has some serious (verging on dangerous) torque and rotation speed.

        I badly sprained my wrist with it once when a spade bit got jammed at the end of breaking through a joist; and the drill body plus my arm turned instead of the bit. I always make sure the clutch is on now.

        Also, brushless motors are annoyingly loud

      • I didn't think it was brushless?

    • +3

      I would completely and respectfully disagree with you. The people buying these drills will find them perfectly fine in nearly all cases and wont be soending 200 bucks on an ornament they wont use.

      The tradies, thats a different story.

      • +2

        Agreed.
        I have a 800w Ozito corded drill that has been going strong for 15+ years. And a couple of cordless drills. One 18v I've had for 6 or 7 years, a 12v one for 10+. Both were under $50 with 2 batteries. The batteries are failing more quickly these days, but when it gets annoying I will replace them with a new drill.

        Brand name drills cost at least double, and the batteries wear out too.

  • I want to bolt a rack of shelves to the concrete slab in the garage. Will this do the job easy? Or do I need something more powerful?

    • +1

      This should do just fine.
      It's usually the cheap bits that add the effort required for drilling through concrete - get a decent hammer drill compatible bit to go with it and you will go through that floor in no time.

  • +1

    Not available.

    • What toys are you hammer drilling 🤔

  • What's with SCAs new site. I go to search this item with 'Toolpro 18 v or Toolpro 18 volt" and nothing. It even did it with those Black & Decker bargains
    Anyone else find this?

    • +1

      I think that is intentional, do a google search and it will come up.

  • Is this good for removing nuts from a car wheel? If not which ones better, the Bunnings impact drill from the kit? Thanks!

    • +1

      Impact is what you want

      • Thanks!

      • +1

        Impact wrench as opposed to driver

    • Bunnings ozito impact driver will not remove wheel nuts (or probably any nuts at that) . I'm speaking from experience.

      Rated at 150Nm and cannot undo nuts that were torqued on less than that.

      I had to use my neighbours Makita brushless impact driver to do this.

      Note there are specific tools you can buy to do nuts and bolts - aka a rattle gun.
      But unless you only work with nuts and bolts then it's an expensive purchase as the cordless ozito rattle gun is $199 in a kit.
      Better off buying a branded brushless impact driver that you can use with screws (primary use) and also nuts (secondary). Will likely still cost $200 but has dual purpose.

      Edit

      Rattle gun is the same as impact wrench but different from impact driver

    • https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-one-18v-3-speed-impact-wre… that would be the best bang for buck for 360nm of torque

  • FYI

    They ran out of stock in stores in Melbourne.

    Orders will be shipped from the distribution centre for free.
    Got a call first thing this morning about it

    • yep, received the same call :)

      • Did your order disappear from your online account?

        No record of mine there

        • yep, cannot see the order there as well, but I have already received that my order is packed and ready for postage (from Warrnambool SCA)

  • +1

    Can anyone suggest a set or a couple of inexpensive / decent drill bits, so they do perfectly in brick?

  • +2

          • @Maddman: maybe only worked in WA :) congrats, on getting one. I am still waiting for my one to be delivered.

      • My local store shows "in stock", but it adds post.
        Cannot find a way to C&C.

      • Thank you, got one.
