More importantly not a hammer drill either.
What's wrong with the hammer drill?
Think they're implying hammer function = good
Therefore deal = less good
@[Deactivated]: True but if all you want is something that can hang a few hooks or take a small dynabolt, a hammer function on a normal drill saves buying a specialist tool.
@[Deactivated]: Yeah, but this is a couple of models below the hammer drill, which itself is below the brushless (though there is a non hammer brushless as well).
I have the non brushless hammer drill, and it is what most people would consider "compact", so this one is quite compact
non sds hammer drills are kind of meh
They are good enough to put a picture-hook in a brick wall, which will suit a lot of people.
If you are installing a kitchen, or big holes in concrete, then sure, you want a rotary hammer.
That's what I was looking for, a hammer drill but my luck mostly runs out when it comes to grabbing any offer just in time!
If you happen to already have other ozito items and therefore batteries /charger then you can get the drills as skin only. So for this price you can pickup a better drill + the same impact driver for ~$100 (but without battery/charger)
This or the Ryobi package for $199?
both are good for stepping into either ecosystem but from a standalone viewpoint this is much better deal for (IMO) similar quality
Agree. Ryobi has wider range of tools to choose but this set is perfect for DIY projects.
Years ago my house was broken in when undertaking renovation. They stormed all valuable tools except the OZITOs - they are still working for me today.
😂😂😂
Classic!
Don't forget, Bunnings matches ALDI's tools with the Ozito PXC range - hence my 6x 4Ah batteries for $39 each.
Can't get that discount on the Ryobi's.
I didn't know this! Great tip
Thanks for the tip Switchblade88.
Where can i find ALDI's $39 4Ah batteries so i can get Bunnings to pricematch?
Bunnings drop the prices themselves when they see Aldi catalogues with the tool range in them. They're doing it to try to take the wind out of Aldi's sale and stop people going with the Aldi stuff, rather then their Ozito stuff.
We all call it a pricematch because it's obvious that's their strategy, but it's not actually a price match in the usual sense of the word. You would have no chance of using their price match guarantee to get them to drop the prices yourself.
It's so routine now that when I see ozito stuff going on sale now at Bunnings I think "oh, better see what Aldi are bringing in soon" Sometimes it even stretches to Ryobi great, like when they took $200 of the price of their thicknesser because Aldi were advertising one.
@kale chips suck: Ah right, win-win, makes it easier for us!
I wasnt aware that they were dropping prices so often either, will have to keep an eye open. Cheers for the info!
@kale chips suck: I didn't know they were compatible, I just thought it was weird they "price matched". Are you aware if the aldi tools also work with ozito batteries (I assume so based on logic)?
@Wombatstew: They aren't drop in compatible, you need to get an adaptor. Should be several discussions on this site about it.
Both lines are made by the same company.
@Wombatstew: They're not compatible, they use a different designs. That's why it's not a typical price match situation: Bunnings usually only price match if the bar codes match.
That said, adapters are becoming more common, so there might be an easy way to make them effectively interchangeable.
Which Ryobi package do you mean? I'm only seeing the driver and impact with batteries for $259?
FYI: normal price is $169, with 2 x 1.5Ah batteries and bag.

I have hammer drill from the last deal. Do I need this?
yes, more tools more better.
Two drills can be useful, less changing bits. Pilot hole+main hole, hole+countersink bit. Etc.
Just buy the impact driver separately, assuming you have a spare battery, and assuming you need to drive a lot of screws.
For the odd screw, I find the screw function of the hammer drill adequate (just adjust the torque settings accordingly (details in manual)
Can someone tell me whats the difference with impact, hammer, brushless?
Hammer is for concrete/ brick. In a pinch, a "normal" drill can do a little bit of concrete work, but not easily/ for long.
Brushless = better, as less internal stuff to wear out - most tools can be brushless - its not limited to drills in any way.
Impact = more functional -so piss easy to change bits, designed to use with things like phillips head bits, flathead bits, allen key bits, etc. Google impact driver bit kit for pictures of the type of bits that can easily be used.
Impact drivers are better for driving screws. Although a drill driver can do it, an impact driver does a better job and specifically designed for driving screws. Whereas a drill driver is designed for drilling holes.
Hammer is a function on drill driver that can assist with hard materials such as bricks. It slightly moves the drill bit back and forth. At this level it's not really effective so best to ignore this feature. If you need to drill into something like bricks best get a cheap corded ozito sds rotarty hammer drill.
Brushless refers to the type of motor. You normally pay extra for a brushless motor. Basically a brushless tool is more powerful and will last longer. For home DIY it's not really gonna make a big difference unless you want to do some more serious DIY.
"If you need to drill into something like bricks best get a cheap corded ozito sds rotarty hammer drill."
^^^ this (I've done so many jobs around the house with the corded ozito over the years, all for $30)
If you are a tradie you wouldn't be asking those questions, for home and general use just get this or something like it, your projects will easly get done and on a budget.
An impact driver (or impact wrench) is used to screw or unscrew, not to drill (well, you can, but you shouldn't). The impact is rotational.
A hammer drill creates an impact in an axial direction, which helps drilling into hard brittle materials such as concrete.
Brushless means that it doesn't have a carbon brush, which is used to transfer electricity to the rotor. It's a different type of motor that's more efficient, longer lasting, usually stronger and smaller. The only downside is that it's more expensive. Many tools come as either brushed or brushless. If price isn't an issue, the brushless will be the better tool (generalising).Edit: Wow, only third! :D
Brushless can also benefit from bigger batteries (Its complicated,though) as a general rule
Brushless is a type of motor - more expensive but better power & efficiency = good
Hammer is a function in some drills that lets the chuck/bit move back and forth; so it acts like a chisel which is useful when going into concrete/bricks. You can turn it on or off as needed.
An impact driver is a special type of drill that works great when putting in screws. It makes a loud BRRRT noise which applies more torque to the drill bit and thus the screw.
EDIT: aaand forth lol
hammer drills are not for screws lol
Thanks for the downvote lol
Im just reseaching this myself because I'm gonna buy this lol
but now I cant edit my comment because you downvoted it lol
thanks for making the ozbargain comments better lol
Impact and hammer are movements for different purpose.
Impact is rotational knocking used to drive screw and nuts.
Hammering is pulse movement simulating hammering the drill bit into the hole while rotating. It is only used when drilling into concrete or brick and require specialised drill bits.
Brushless is referring motor technology which is not related to the movement types of the tool. Brushless motor improves performance, noise level, efficiency and durability as the weak point of traditional motors - brushes, are bypassed by design. However brushless motor is less tolerate to hash conditions as the complex electrical driving circuit become common point of failure.
Some people still prefer brush motor because they are cheaper and easier to maintain. To be honest for general DIY purpose the difference is hardly worth considering.
Am I not better off getting the 20v brushless hammer drill from Aldi for $80 on 2nd Jan?
If you need a more powerful drill with hammer function you absolutely would be better off. There is a good chance that bunnings will price match that as well though
What happens if you need a warranty replacement later?
ALDI will give you a refund, and then you have no tool to complete your project. Bunnings will swap your tool anytime in the next 5 years.
Also most 20v are just 18v, they just use a different measuring technique.
agree, that is why most US tools are branded as 20v
No
Absurdly cheap, gonna have to bite the bullet on this one.
I already have an Ozito Hammer drill, and a Makita drill driver (I don't buy Makita stuff cause it's too expensive).
Worth getting this??No. If you want to spend the money, buy the brushless impact driver instead, much better than the brushed one.
i'd say yes, you get an extra batttery, charger and drill for the same price. the brushless driver isn't that much better than the brushed one.

No Load Speed: 0-2300/min

Max. Torque: 150NmI had three brushed Ozito ones, one brushless Ozito one (as well as two Bosch brushless ones). I've given the brushed ones away. Definitely a bigger difference between the two than the paper suggests! The brushed ones wabble pretty badly as well!
Firstly, ask if you need it. A bargain ain't a bargain if you're spending money on stuff you won't use
Built a deck with the brushless drill. Great tool and quality for DIY
this is not that
Close enough
Wish if they sold the PXC impact wrench as skin only or a package deal special..
you mean the impact driver? they have sold it stand alone in the past i think it was $50
Nah the impact wrench
https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-brushless-impact-w…
This used to be the link for the skin only but it's not even listed any more :(
https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-brushless-impact-w…uh, showing as in stock at a bunch of stores near me
Both brushed and brushless impact drivers are available as skin only
They had the brushless skin for $40 a few weeks ago which was an absolute steal!
I'm after the brushless impact wrench
Assuming you don't want a 3-pack of adapters instead?
Likely not if you're wanting a dedicated impact wrench, but it's definitely a cheaper option in the interim
@illz: Don't see why not? It's the same motor, same impact gearbox, just different toolhead. Other brands have the combo heads, which is cool.
I'm only using mine sparingly to spin off wheelnuts after I crack them, and the worst that'll happen is I break the $2 adapter and go back to the socket bar instead.
If you're using one more regularly then go for it - I just think the wrench skin is poor value if it's not my regular go-to tool
@Switchblade88: Cheers dude, BTW I didn't neg you.
Especially with a 5 year warranty..
I was going to use it for similar works, wanted to remove toolbar nuts mostly.
Was going to get a breaker bar but would rather a battery operated I think.@Switchblade88: the size of the internal anvils is different on the impact driver vs the impact wrench, even the external size is different. the friction on a self tapping screw which you use the driver on is different to wheel nuts which you use the impact wrench on.
@Switchblade88: The brushless impact driver undoes the wheel nuts fairly easily on my Santa Fe, no need to crack them first I find
Buying crappy tools like this is precisely why tool quality is going down and why Bunnings keeps stocking crap.
ive never had a cheap power tool fail on me. My $20 ozito corded drill was made to do lots of things for me that it wasnt designed to (drilled heaps of holes in metal because i didnt have a grinder etc). I guess its just because i dont use them often enough to wear them out (typical situation for most home handymen).
Does the impact driver fit sockets?
I use it for this all the time :)
(Will not undo wheel nuts)
The brushless impact driver undoes the wheel nuts on my Santa Fe fairly easily, no need to crack them first
Can anyone recommend a bit set to go with these?
Search for the $29.90 Bosch one on here, though you won't have any use for the masonry bits.
Noob question - are impact drills good for removing screws that are really rusted?
no. spray a shipload of lube onto/into their threads (the hole) if possible, then let it sit. Maybe a few applications over time before trying to remove. Silicone spray is good.
All depends if the screw heads still have structural integrity. If they fall to bits then nothing will help - BUT if they're simply rusted tight then the extra torque would help for sure.
I agree with using WD40 (or cheaper generic) first, but after that, yes, better than a drill anyway.
One important thing to remember is to put as much pressure on it as possible with rusted or damaged screws! Once it slips, you've lost!High torque and low speed, or low speed and low torque… I believe twisting out gently with plenty of lube is the best way, generally.
Thanks for the tips guys!
Got this a week n 1/2 ago they were $70 on clearance at a bunnings I was in think it was Notting hill vic …. I’ll find reciept for price match
Post if I find ithttps://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/207116/85636/a796a40c-…
I wish it was a hammer drill. Would have been just perfect.
Does compact here refers to the size or the compact one's arent as powerful as normal one's?
Yes & yes, it is a smaller, cheaper and less powerful drill.
Some details here about this vs other Ozito drills: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/9201760/redir
Without battery, the price of a better unit (PXDDS-180) $40 (more torque, larger chuck, has speed options) and the hammer version (PXHDS-180) is $50.
Aldi $149 impact driver & drill set recently is higher spec and has 5 years warranty (excluding batteries)
yep, i have ozito but also bought into aldi eco system because their impact wrench is stronger then ozito and they have brushless reciprocal saw on special also.
the companies regard batteries as consumable, for a trade you need lots of them for the saws, drills, etc but for home diy, 2 batteries seems to be enough and you charge in between and you probably don’t charge daily so you won’t wear out in the warranty period.
i also have making a for my trade line tools, much more expensive but at the time they had more brushless skins than other brands.
I got the brushless version of the impact driver. It struggled to drill into our mansion bricks even with proper SDS max 8 drill bits. Better get a corded one with more power
impact driver with sds bits? think you were using the wrong tool.
Do you mind expand that a bit more. I must admit I am a newbie. The bit was recommended to me by a mate. This one in particular: https://www.bosch-pt.com.au/au/en/sds-max-8x-hammer-drill-bi…
Using the same bit with a corded hammer driver did the job fine.

It's not the brushless?
