      I don't know, it's a decent drill kit. Might go tomorrow and buy the whole lot to sell on ebay! (kidding) But currently this is selling at $60-120

      It looks like they've changed the battery format on the new line - so I guess this is clearance. I have one of these. It works for DIY, but it's obviously cheap.

  • Jimothy Wongingtons on 18/06/2019 - 21:03

        This kit was at my local for 29 bucks. Still didnt buy it, I have an old pre powerxchange Ozito that i have had for 7 years and still going strong, but realises that it struggles a bit with very hard wood (the impact driver, not the drill, I tend to just use that for drilling which is fine)

        Well the dual kit had two battery. Have never actually used it for more than day 15 minutes. Put together an outdoor furniture set.

        Defo not going to be building a deck with it or anything

  • Sweetnsour on 18/06/2019 - 22:14

    looking to put up a fence u reckon this can be used to screw in timber palings without having to recharge? fence length 5m

    • [Deactivated] on 18/06/2019 - 22:42
      +2

      I worked with this for several minutes, and kept going at it non-stop and it was going relentless with no remorse! It was precharged though. I reckon for 5m it should be fine. For $20 you can't go wrong but let's wait for the owners who commented above.
      Or buy 2!

    • macrocephalic on 18/06/2019 - 22:49
      +2

      Assuming just 2-4 screws per paling, and 40mm screws into treated pine then I think this would do.

    • iand on 18/06/2019 - 23:13
      +2

      if not just have a coffee or 2 while it's charging then you should be right to finish

      • CJ31 on 19/06/2019 - 08:10
        +2

        Agree with this. 5m of fencing is around 50 palings, more if doublesided. 4-6 screws per paling (2 high 2 low plus middle). I'd be wanting a cuppa half way through sounds like a good idea. If it is hardwood he might even need to dill pilot holes.

            @George Washington: As Cainn said below an impact driver is a better tool for this but if this is all you intend to use it for it will get the job done with pine for $20, plus you have a tool for a few small odd jobs around the house. If it blows up, Bunnings will refund/replace it without a problem. If you ever decide to start doing heavy work like a renovations and buy better tools, keep this as a spare drill as is always handy to have a second drill (less changing drills/bits).

              @CJ31: used it tonight to undo a few wall mounted brackets that was left behind by the previous owner. One in each bedroom geezes these guys loved their TVs. Does the job. Like you said refund/replace without a problem. Yes for DIY only. lucky i am not licensed!

              This drill will have a good use over the next few weeks as i tidy up this fixer-up

              will post any updates of if it breaks to keep other bargainers informed. The big test is the fence. Posts in the ground beams hanged palings this weekend!

      Do yourself a favour and get an impact driver. Plenty of stores sell this same drill + an impact driver with two batteries for $49 or so.

      Once you have an impact driver, even a low-end one, you'll struggle to comprehend why you spent so many years driving screws with drills. And it's not just about power (which you don't always need), it's about reliability. Impact driver = far fewer shredded screws because they don't have the same tendency to slip even with the exact same screw tip.

      The only downside is that they make more noise. They also aren't suitable for really light duty stuff.

      • pdtmathieson on 19/06/2019 - 08:04
        +2

        Can't agree with this enough, I have a Ryobi drill which would have done thousands of screws before I got an impact driver, now I reckon the poor old drill is feeling neglected. It's just so good!

  • skillet on 18/06/2019 - 23:09

    I bought a XU1 240v jigsaw for $19 because I was lazy to cut branches with a handsaw, yes I know wrong tool for the job. I have all sorts of bandsaw, chopsaw, dropsaw, circsaw I just hate jigsaws by nature so I got the cheapest nastiest I could get. It cuts badly, it would cut sideways instead of a straight line, it has very little adjustments, the saw clamp is the worst, it's flimsy feet and poorly balanced mechanism it would massage the hell out of my bones.

    7 years later… I am still using it to chop down 6cm thick branches, it does it loudly, fast and in a most violent way. I hate it so much I can't use it for proper wood work but it just wont die and works so well at reducing thick tree branches. :(. It make me boil this thing I want to kill it but it just keep going.

    Cordless drills on the other hand, it's a bread and butter for every Powertool company. If you can't get it right, you not deserve to be selling powertools.

    The weight of this XU1 18V cordless drill is slightly heavier than 12V cordless drills. So it should be very nice for overhead use.

      As in a jigsaw jigsaw?? Or more of a sabre/larger reciprocating saw? Because generally a jigsaw is supposed to be used on flat surfaces…not lopping trees.

      Why not use a recip saw instead of a jigsaw?

    • skillet on 19/06/2019 - 15:53

      I have the Jigsaw. Can't do much woodwork with recipro saw, it's more of a demolition tool. It should do very well cutting tree branches but I wanted a tool I can use to do woodwork but it's no good at it.

        My XU1 jigsaw is broken, the bit that hold the blade crumbled in half, but is an easy fix with a small piece of metal .

  • Jackson on 19/06/2019 - 00:56

    I try to recommend getting a hammer drill instead of a standard drill. More versatile, and saves you getting a whole other tool

    • AMLagonda on 19/06/2019 - 01:47
      +1

      But this is $20 lol you cant go wrong even as a spare :)

    • GhostofB on 19/06/2019 - 11:25
      +3

      I recommend a corded hammer drill and a cordless standard drill. It's bloody handy to have two drills, saves changing bits every few seconds if you're drilling pilot holes or countersinking. $20 for a second drill is a bargain.

      • Jackson on 20/06/2019 - 00:41
        +1

        Yes of course if you are that busy with your drills, for most people considering this the audience is just wanting a dril for that odd case, they can change bits once a year for two holes

      • Jackson on 20/06/2019 - 10:27

        I should add the xu1 hammmer drill has been known to go for 29 follar so only 10 dollars more. Also I have seen the dual standars drill and impact driver going for 29.

        • [Deactivated] on 20/06/2019 - 22:06

          $29 for the combo? Where?
          I missed it!

          • Jackson on 20/06/2019 - 22:41

            @[Deactivated]: Bankstown Airport. I still didn't get one, was just surplus to needs.

    • skillet on 19/06/2019 - 15:56
      +1

      I recommend getting a corded rotary hammer drill, a cordless impact drill and a cordless drill. Much more versatile as it covers all your drilling and screw fastening needs. Get the drift?

  • baytrail on 19/06/2019 - 06:35

    Just what I needed for screwing down pegs for tents/awning. Wouldn't hurt as bad if I end up loosing or breaking this than the AEG.

    • AMLagonda on 19/06/2019 - 12:21

      nope… but you could if you wanted to but with no hammer function it wont be easy.

      • [Deactivated] on 19/06/2019 - 14:28

        Good answer. It'd be a lot easier to drill through concrete with a hammer drill but you can try a standard drill if you are patient. Obviously you need to be careful about the wiring inside the wall and use a masonry drill bit.

        Huh? Have you never used a drill before?

        This will easily drill through walls unless they're made out of valyrian steel

        • GhostofB on 20/06/2019 - 09:37

          Drilling through brick with a non-hammer drill is not "easy" by any reasonable definition. Total PITA.

    I purchased one of these drills about 12 months ago for odd jobs around the house.

    It works great for the price, not a traddie drill naturally.

    Great for flat packs, wall mounting and just the odd jobs.

    Havn't had any problems with battery life as of yet.

          Just use a wood screw and start turning it with a screwdriver with a little force it will selftap but don't think of attaching anything with weight to it.

          Yes dig with plastic spoon if you are patient and gentle not to break it

    Still plenty of stock at 4pm today at Ashfield (NSW) outside the tool shop. Tag shows ~$29 but scans correctly at $19.98. XU1 Hammer Drill Kits right next to them for ~$39 — didn't bother to scan one to see whether it was discounted also.
