      • Cheers, saved some money today. Which tool would you recommend to assemble and disassemble furniture? I found that doing it by hand is a lot slower, not to mention painful. I have a cordless drill from kmart to help but the battery dies after a year or so

        • +2

          I use a similar tool like this Ozito to assemble ikea furniture. It is fast and more time efficient.

        • Maybe the absolute bottom-of-the-range in the Ozito Power-X-Change (PXC) range like this little fella for $69 but I suppose as long as you can resist the temptation to pull the trigger the Hammer Drill in this deal for $99 would also do the job but it's just far too powerful and very heavy & bulky for intricate work. I suppose it all depends on if you plan to use the drill for anything else moving forward too but yeah I'd personally save the $30 and just get the little fella but be aware that even it's far too powerful for IKEA furniture assembly anyway!

            @SteveAndBelle: I saw the xui non hammer drill and impact kit with two batteries for as low as 29 bucks, would be perfect for you but might be waiyong a while to get that deal again.

            Just get the cheapest but most useful thing you can that is Li ion battery powered, and even better if the battery is removable

            Also you would be amazed at how m7ch bettwr a T handle ratcheting driver with swappable bits is than a screwdriver ergonomically, have got a craftright one for 5 bucks that is great for stuff like that (usually 10)

            Edit: was meant for the guy 2 above you @djprima

        • +2

          If you have spare bits lying around get the cheapie XU1 cordless screwdriver or something

    • yeah just used a screwdriver mate

    • Don't think that one is brushless, and I don't think the drill is a hammer drill. Better off with Aldi or combining the 2 deals here.

  • perhaps i shouldnt of jumped on this one..

  • how much is the hammer drill skin only normally?

  • Do Ozito batteries go on sale often? 1.5AH is rather marginal,i.e. I'm impatient ;)

    I should add a mate uses the impact driver for tyre changing which rocks compared to doing them the armstrong method - I change between A/T and H/T often for the better fuel economy and because the H/Ts are worth nothing secondhand so might as well use em up. Edit: Note, this is not a impact wrench, and you should always check by hand as well, it just takes some of the effort out. Also note, some vehicles are quite high with their torque now, mine is 140Nm.

    Just bought the drill pack for $99, the 3amp battery pack for $69 and the hedge trimmer/saw head for $199.
    Can't wait to get outside and attack the mango tree this weekend!

      Update. I now have a huge pile of tree limbs. Likely >1 years worth of green bin. Now I need to petition Ozito to release a mulcher that runs on the batteries…

    I bought the Ozito 10mm 18V compact drill and it's pretty gutless - OK for light work but struggles to drill into hardwood, whereas my small corded Ozito has heaps more torque and rotation and drills hardwood ok as long as I use decent drill bits. My corded Ozito hammer drill has just karked it so I'm uncertain whether to replace it with this Ozito brushless job or get another corded one. Is there a big difference in output? - I expect to be drilling a bit of concrete ~ 10 - 15cm, brick and hardwood.

    I'm about to restore an old MG. Would the impact driver be useful or wouldI find a brushless wrench better, or would they both be useful?

      Doing some fencing at the moment, using the standard hammer drill I was really struggling getting a 12mm auger through 125mm treated pine poles (and may have let a little smoke out :-). Purchased the Brushless HD a couple of weeks ago - it flies through those posts using the same auger without slowing slightly. I was amazed how effortless it was.

  • +1

    dumb question but would the impact take off wheel nuts? assuming not.

    • +1
    • +1

      Most tyre shops overtighten wheel nuts and don't clean the threads, so unlikely, but if the threads are clean and correctly torqued it should.

      • A more definitive answer, yes it will loosen 140Nm wheel nuts but it had to rattle a fair bit first. I have my doubts about it being 180Nm but I'm not experimenting on my wheel nuts to find out :)

    • Not sure about this driver but I`ve broken all my 1/2 inch Milwaukee impact driver bits with Milwaukee, Hitachi and Stanley impact tools.

  • Can someone recommend a cordless screwdriver for some odd jobs, like furniture assembly? I had an Ikea one, but the piece of shit got broken and let me down half way. I guess this one will be an overkill?

    • Yeah you don't need an impact driver for furniture, a cheap drill/driver is adequate. Or a cordless screwdriver.

      • +2

        Or a cordless screwdriver.

        Ummm

        Can someone recommend a cordless screwdriver

        • Bosch GO

  • I’m taking on installing some roller blinds and have no tools. Looking at the ozito brushless impact drver as posted, will this do the job? And this does not come with battery or the drill bits? So should it be a better deal for me to also grab the hammer drill as it comes with battery and drill bits and charger?

    • It's only skin only so you're better off getting the kit

    • +1
      • See above
      • Skin/Skin Only means no battery, no charger, no drill bits, no bag, no nothing.
      • Generally, kits don't come with drill bits. (Unless explicitly mentioned.) So this kit doesn't come with them.

      Basically, if you are after a first tool, and especially for occasional use, you only need the hammer drill kit. (Plus some drill bits, of course.). It will give you the versatility to drill into masonry, steel and wood, as well as driving screws.

      • +1

        recommend any drill bit kits?

          • @SteveAndBelle: Too bad out of stock in a lot of stores; any alternative

            • +1

              @ow: Just anything similar really… something around the $30 that includes at least 10-15 drill bits and a collection of driver bits. You may be able to get what you need by buying a couple of cheap 'Craftright' sets too. If you ever need anything more than what's in a simple kit like that then you can just buy whatever you need individually as you need it.

          Sigh. I knew someone was going to ask me this 😉

          I did quite a bit of research a while ago and here's what I came up with.

          The drill bit market is a bit of a mess. A brand of reasonably priced set of drill bits that are great one year can be crap the next if the manufacturer/factory/country where they're made changes, which seems to happen regularly. I can't recall many brands particularly standing out as there was a lot of conflicting info floating around, probably due to the aforementioned reason.1

          What I would recommend is that you might be better off buying individual specific sized decent quality drills bits as you need them (plus a small driver bit set or individual bits depending on usage). The brand from Bunnings that was recommended, and seems reasonable, is Sutton Tools. (Their Viper range made in Australia/New Zealand, assuming it still is, not the ones made in China.)

          For convenience sake, you might additionally, or to start off with, buy a small set of possibly half-decent cheaper (bit of a lucky dip) HSS drill bits and/or driver bits for $20-$40. Any that you use regularly and wear out2/ break you replace with better quality individual ones. This way you would have a selection of sizes available for immediate use (at the risk of buying a lot of sizes that you never use). For very occasional use, like drilling one or two holes in "normal" materials, even rubbish drill bits are up to the task (they just go blunt very quickly, and even quicker after sharpening unless sharpened exactly right).

          As for masonry drills bits, only buy the specific sizes as required. You will probably find that you will end up with either one, two, or maybe three sizes in total. (Typically from the sizes {10mm, 8mm, 6mm}.)


          1. I didn't end buying a set so I can't give a personal opinion on any brand either. I was looking to get the Sutton Tools Viper 13 piece set (made in China if I recall correctly), but a new (I moved) next door neighbour (now) friend's workplace *cough* offered (and continues) to supply me with any drill bits (and driver bits) I need, usually Sutton Tool Viper ones from Bunnings. 

          2. With drill bits, you really need to learn how to sharpen them properly. If you find that the ones you use regularly need sharpening too often, it might be better to replace them with better quality ones. (Or re-learn how to sharpen them properly 😉)

    Would you use this for tightening car wheel nuts? if not, what would you recommend?

    • +2

      No.
      You should use a torque wrench as you can't limit or measure the torque applied. You'll end up over tightening or under tightening them.

      • +1

        Once I started using a torque wrench to check how tight the nuts were, I got to the stage where I could tighten them correctly (or close enough) simply using a wheel brace 👍

        Also, here's a good tip I picked up - whenever you take your car in for a service/tyre change/wheel alignment/etc, always loosen and retighten the wheel nuts to the correct specs as they will invariably come back overtightened. Other than avoiding potential damage, it saves you attempting to change a flat tyre on a wild stormy night only to find that you can't undo the nuts!

        • That's a great tip!

          I will try and remember to do that but for now I have roadside assistance on one car and run flats and a repair kit on the other.

          • @edrift: I did a bit of research on run flats and repair kits a while back. There seems to be conflicting evidence on how much damage is done / how long the repair lasts.

            I suppose a repair kit can be used temporarily until a proper patch can be put on.

            The other thing is, I'd rather changeout a flat for the spare if it's pissing down than having to fiddle with a repair kit.

            The convenience of run flats sounds good, but I've never had them (and so haven't had a chance to use them when flat).

            • @robinCTS: The ride comfort is terrible on run flats. I'd much prefer a spare if I had the space to store one.

              Actually this repair kit is a tyre slime one with electric air compressor. Never used it but should be enough to get me to safety

              • @edrift: Good to know about the run flats.

                If I recall correctly, the tyre slime type repair kits were the ones that were most contentious, with claims that they ruined tyres or reduced their life span or decreased safety.

  • Which one is better guys? Aldi or the Ozito one? Picked up the workzone 7 pc kit @149 last month.

    • +1

      Ozito

  • +3

    Just bought this as well as the battery & charger pack. Not sure why. I now have the urge to start screwing in screws and undoing them.

  • How does this Ozito impact driver compare with this Baumr-AG Alpha 200 Impact driver currently listed on Amazon for $95? At this price point, are they much of a muchness??

    • Literally completely different. The product you're offering to looks to be a drill driver and it's not brushless

  • Wow - they don't mess around restoring the old price once the Aldi deal has swept through.

    Got both - thanks OP. Already used in anger.
