    Damn that’s tempting.

    • +3

      Been resisting, as I already have drill and impact drivers.

      Just got my tax refund

      Resistance is waning….

  • +22

    Good lord this is dirtily cheap… Must… stay… within…. ryobi ecosystem… 😣

    • -5

      Ryobi is much better

      • +13

        Depends on your needs. Bought one of these 5 piece kits on sale a few years ago and have used the tools extensively on a whole range of large and small DIY projects. Have since added 2 more tools and 2 more batteries. They've been perfectly up to the task and very reliable. The bang for buck is ridiculous, especially with the 5 year warranty. The bushless range is a step up again. Waiting to buy the 2 x 18v brushless mower when it comes back in stock.

        The only tool that I've been mildly disappointed in is the circular saw. It's really only good for cutting fence palings and pieces the size of your arm. It struggles with larger cuts. But that's more a symptom of cordless not the brand. It's made for convenience and portability, not power. So I'm probably expecting too much from it. It did a fine job cutting down six green bins worth of tree clippings!

        • +1

          No. My AEG cordless saw is great.

          • @wfdTamar: Yeas have to agree, I have a Hitachi 18v cordless which will cut through very large timber. The cheapie 18v saws like this one and Ryobi too just made to a price and give up too quick.

        • +1

          I've got the 2 x 18v brushless mower. It's great. Much more torque than the Victa 2 stroke it replaced and there's always plenty of reserve battery at the end of a heavy mow of a large urban block.

          I'm so glad to be done with messy fuel, frustrating starting and temperamental carburettors. Just pop the batteries in and go, anyone can use it. Might even get the kids interested.

        • I've been very impress too, particularly with the brushless driver.

          I have one of the circular saws with a decent thin kerf blade it goes pretty good. Has cut through plenty of 7035 and 9035 and 17mm ply. A good quality blade makes a big difference.

          While I'm no tradesman (obviously not the intended audience) I have built 70% of a house with them without an issue and don't forsee any coming up.

          That being said the combination nail and staple gun is crap, can't even drive a pin nail flush in pine and the crown staples sit way too proud. Returned it and stuck with my air one.

      • +6

        I don't know why the downvotes. The ozito stuff is incredibly good value and it's the ecosystem I've bought into, but the Ryobi is better in every way except price. If you stick to drilling or sanding you probably won't notice. If you compare the circular saw, impact wrench or impact driver they are worlds apart.

      • Had a feel of its side ratchet and it has now fallen below Ozito quality! Other stuff is a step above, and the range is better.

      • Ozito is designed for low torque and low speed compared to ryobi and anything above.

    • +1

      Yes, I am following Makita 18V, however not as good as expected.should joined ozito.

      • +1

        i have makita, bosch and ozito BUT only went for brushless in ozito , keep wishing ozito release a brushless circular saw and brushless reciprocal saw ….have the brushless ozito angle grinder which seems to have disappeared off their range ….might be ozito customers don’t like paying $90 for brushless angle grinder and it was slow moving item.

  • I don't even need the drill or impact driver but it's so tempting with the rest.

    • +9

      I don't need ANY of it and it's still tempting lol

  • +3

    Perfect - much rather secure this than take my chances leaving the house to go to ALDI

    • -1

      what's the story with Aldi?

      • +2

        Probably lives in one of those places with COVID and lockdowns. Or perhaps ALDI has no chance of stock?

        • +1

          All of the above sadly

        • +4

          more likely to have 0 stock than catching COVID at ALDI.

          • +1

            @pinkybrain: I wouldn't know. No COVID or ALDI here.

            • +1

              @Clear: Good to know that you are in the clear

            • @Clear: so, no pressure to make rash decisions then.

  • +7

    God it's times like these I regret buying into the Milwaukee system. Yeah the tools are great but they never go on sale/clearance. Wish Bunnings stocked them.

    • +6

      True, Good brands are too expensive for home users, we don't need them eveyday.

      • +1

        Milwaukee ain't what it used to be. Seen alot of comparisons of Ryobi and Rigid outperforming them

        • +3

          I don't know what planet OzBargainers are on.. but every Ozito product I've bought has been a piece of junk. I've broken every Ozito tool in less than a month. I'm on a rural property but Ozito products can barely drill a hole or drive a screw. Milwaukee on the other hand. Beautiful every time. You get what you pay for.

          • +8

            @bpitt: True, you get what you pay for, but how on earth are you using things such that they don't last a month or even do their job?
            I'm not at all gentle with my tools but I've had no concerns with Ozito kit. I did think I was being a bit optimistic about the SDS drill, but even that had managed to go through stuff with almost as much ease as my corded Bosch SDS drill.

            • +7

              @banana365: Agreed.
              I use my Ozito range 2-3 times a week and I have no clue how you could burn through a tool in a month (if you're using the right tool for the job and using it correctly). My Ozito tools have been solid. The drill driver has drilled a stack of 20mm holes through hardwood house framing no problem. The impact driver has done an entire hardwood decking with SS screws and a couple of hundred roofing screws without skipping a beat. The angle grinder and recip saw have cut and grind through all manner of crap and still going strong. They shouldn't fail… and if they do, take it back under warranty. But heck if you've got the $$$ to pay for Milwaukee then go for it. But I can get 5 ozito tools for less than the cost of one Milwaukee, so it's perfect for my needs.

              • +4

                @stuckster: Totally agreed the Ozito PXC range has been great. over the last 7 years, I have transitioned all my power tools to PXC and they have all been awesome. I all that time I have one battery that failed and when back to Bunning and they replaced it on the spot.

                I've built a kitchen, deck, retaining wall, flower beds and a bookcase and use the driver, mitre and circular saw most weekends and have never had an issue. I even replace my petrol mower with the PXC and that too is so good.

                The PXC is a rebadged German brand called Einhell which has been going since 1964 and make great quality products. The price point it's sold at here is a reflection of Bunning buying power. Bunning uses it as a loss leader to keep places like Aldi at bay and keep people like me coming back to the store every weekend.

            • @banana365: Same I built so many things with it and no issues. Great around the house for the occasional diy

          • @bpitt: I dug an enormous trench with my little Ozito PXC (red/black) hammer drill - through terracotta pipes and heavy clays/shales.

            Head to toe in clay-mud and it never missed a beat.

            But the Ozito grey/black seems to be trash.

            • +1

              @Telios: curiosity: how do you dig a trench with a hammer drill?

              • @cholas: yes Id like to know too

                • @dealmaker: I'm guessing with one of those planter/auger drill bits

              • @cholas: SDS drill possibly. Hammer drill on steroids and only a little bit more expensive. I've used mine for hacking holes in concrete.

                • @banana365: Tempted now to get the ozito brushless for it, but im collecting drills at this point. I have a hammer drill and for concrete is fine, is not fast but im not in a hurry. Now digging is another story, im suffering with roots and clay, if I can use the drill for that it would be amazing

                  • +1

                    @cholas: Collecting drills? I know that problem. I'm pretty sure mine self replicate/breed when the garage light is out. I think they also cannibalise the older drills as I can't find the one I've had for over 20 years. Poor old Bosch blue, dependable drill. I hope it was a painless end.

    • Sale through repco when they mess up and have thr discount on them

    • +1

      yeh unless you're using it every single day for numerous hours Ryobi is absolutely all you need.

      If you aren't a tradesman anything more is a waste of money IMO.

    • +5

      Same here, Milwaukee are the Apple of the hardware world, even when Sydney Tools and Total Tools run their trade nights (up 20% off store credit) they always exclude Milwaukee gear. Wish I went Dewalt or Makita as all hardware stores stock their gear and between them all you can get some great deals

      • Huh? I don't know about Total Tools but as far as I know Sydney Tools does not exclude Milwaukee from their trade nights and they also have special Milwaukee Roadshows every once in a while.

    • +1

      lol what? I started with Ozito and have upgraded to Milwaukee as I've outgrown each tool. Though I still use some of the Ozito stuff regularly. But they aren't even in the same universe. Yes Milwaukee kit is 3 times the price. But it is more than 3 times as good. I don't regret it at all. Have a look on facebook marketplace. You often find folks selling Milwaukee kit new lower than retail. I think they buy the packs and sell the the individual tools for a profit or something.

    • +1

      I've gone down the Dewalt 18v path in the past 12 months, still need a circular saw and angle grinder. Good tools but the first charger that I got became faulty after about 11 months - changed over at Bunnings no problem

      • I got the Dewalt mower 36V which is actually 2x 18V 5Ah batteries, then a drill/driver combo kit that came with 2x1.5Ah batteries too. Wasn't cheap to get started but first house and needed a mower anyway and both were reduced. In comparison the Ryobi had 1x36V battery so it wouldn't go into the other tools anyway.

        Family has dewalt tools as well so I can borrow whatever I need. I keep and eye on Marketplace and Gumtree for second hand stuff, ended up picking up a used cordless circular saw for $70 or $80. Add a new blade in it and it's as good as anything.

  • Not in stock, not available for delivery, and not available for click and collect for my 4 nearest stores in rural NSW..

  • +1

    Not sold in my local Bunnings, not available for click and collect and not available for delivery. Boo!

  • father’s day promo from makita, bosch, dewalt will be trickery this year with lockdowns , hope they still try to do something even if it’s click n collect or for those with power pass who look for clearance labels in the tool shop when buying tubes of silicone, nails or paint.

    last week i bought the bosch brushless bundle for $299 clearance ….hammer drill, impact driver, angle grinder and 4ah battery in the hawthorn store.

    • +1

      Geez that's a good deal. I only need the angle grinder but could sell the rest off and get it for free!

  • +2

    That's a crazy good deal if you've been tempted to join the ozito ecosystem.
    I've got both Makita and Ozito. Obviously the Makita stuff is better, but the ozito gear is good value and mostly does the job very well.
    If I didn't have all of these already I'd buy this as it is a great starter pack.

  • Everyone is talking about how good ryobi is, but what about this ozito?

    • Better than Aldi (in terms of quality and warranty) but they are DIY grade tools with brushed motors and not too powerful.

      • -1

        i have the aldi brushless drill/rattler combo and it's definitely better than ozito in terms of quality

        • +1

          I have an older version of Aldi's 5 pc kit similar to the one advertised here (drill, impact driver, circular saw, sander & work light) which I saw on clearance for $100 and could not resist. The drill and impact driver are junk.

      • I'd expect Aldi gear to be of better quality than the equivalent junk from Bunnings. In my experience.

        • In many cases they are made by the same manufacturer, Einhell, as many other home brand power tools.

          • +1

            @bio: Aldi's brand is called Feral?

            • @Dark Zeus: Ferrex, Workzone, they have many names, made by various manufacturers.

  • Can we also have that 5 or 10% extra discount as a "tradie"?

    • +15

      Don't use your trade card for ozito. It voids the warranty as it implies the item has been used for trade use.

      • I've heard that but as there is nothing in the Powerpass T&C to say you can only use it to buy stuff for use in your trade they can't justify it and would lose if you took them to fair trading.

        I've heard of people having some issues but not once they push it.

      • I think that might be illegal for bunnings to void warranty

      • They train their staff to bully you over this, but just ask them to show you something in writing…

    • +4

      None of the Ozito gear gets a discount anyway, at least the ones I've checked - which are several. So you may as well just not use the Powerpass card on them.

    • No discount for Ryobi or Ozito

  • +4

    Would I be able to make an iron man suit with these tools if I was stuck in a cave?

    • Only if Bunnings are happy to deliver to terrorist strongholds ;)

      • +2

        Like Victoria

    • +2

      By "cave", do you mean anywhere in WA?

  • no stock anywhere

    • There’s stock in my local store (Footscray)

    • lots in WA

  • +5

    Interesting comment about the negative review given - only 1 warranty claim allowed per kit. If the drill fails and then later on the circular saw you'd not be able to claim the saw if you had already claimed the drill? Sounds kind of shit and maybe illegal?

    • +4

      That makes no sense. If a product has a 5 year warranty you can't only claim on it once. So if it dies after 1 year that doesn't remove the warranty for the next 4 years.

    • I've been able to claim warranty on individual items in a kit before so YMMV.
      I guess comes down to his friendly you are with the staff.

      • I've done this with Ryobi before but they were pretty pushy for me to bring in the whole kit when it was 1 battery that was faulty.

    • +2

      I think you’ll find that claim is against consumer law

    • +1

      That claim is false - I've had a few things eventually fail from a few different kits and claimed without issue.

      Sometimes it's easier to get the staff to "buy then refund immediately" for the equivalent skin that's busted. That way they can have a tracked refund without refunding the entire pack of tools - especially if you only brought the broken skin.

      Always be polite and offer staff solutions that minimise their work

    • I got it in writing that each part can be individually replaced at different times without having to return the whole set.
      YMMV but thats good enough for me.

  • -5

    Damn, i bought the drill driver deal earlier this year. Do bunnings give discount on deal if anyone dont want the drill and impact driver?

    • +5

      I read this three times and still don’t understand the question.

      • +1

        I think what he/she meant is because they (he/she) bought the drill and driver kit and not required those two from this kit (from this deal) can they get discount ?

        • +5

          It's like asking for a discount on a McDonalds meal deal because you bought fries a few hours ago

          • @leTintin: No its, he bought the McDonalds meal and did not want the fries and wanted it cheaper. It's different.

            • @fredk1000: but the burgers are better at Hungry Jacks .. why Maccas?

              • @Niroshansira: You meant the voucher deals are better at Hungry Jacks. This is ozbargain after all.

    • I think you bought the brushless offer, if so buy this as a super cheap way to extend the kit and flip the drill/driver from it for $50 ea on fb.marketplace

      • That'd be a bit hard considering the skins at Bunnings are $40 for drill and $49 for driver.

    • No, it is being sold as a kit and they can't remove individual items from the box.

  • Got one for c&c. Cheers OP.

  • Saw this review that's worth noting:

    Edit: above mentioned already

  • Thanks OP - got one at Rocklea in Brisbane

  • I already have a brushless impact and drill as well as a corded circular saw but I couldn't stop myself.

    I also have the brushless hammer drill new in its box as well as another corded drill.

    I'll try to offload what I don't need.

    What I need is the multi tool and the jigsaw to complete my collection.

    • Yeh same I have brushless drill and impact

      Whats the value of the rest to get them separately or this deal better?

    • +1

      Christmas gifts for replies who need an occasional drill around the house!

      Gave my mum my spare drill and batteries which means she also got the whipper snipper to match

  • +1

    From the review on Bunnings site:

    Warranty can only be claimed on 1 item
    I spoke to the people in the Tools Section and they told me that if 1 of the item has an issue, they would need to replace it as a kit and not per individual item. This means that if another tool fails within 5 years, you can't claim warranty for it because it would appear in their system that you have already claimed warranty for the first tool that failed.

    Also, to claim warranty for 1 of these items you have to lug the entire 5 piece kit for replacement. At face value it seems like an amazing deal but if something fails within the warranty period then it will be a pain.

    • +8

      Garbage. Pity the fool that accepted that spiel from the tool store drone.

    • +3

      Bought a 5 piece kit 4 years ago. Recently the circular saw was getting sluggish. Took it back and they gave me a new one.
      Even if you did have to take the whole kit back, you'd be walking out with 5 brand new tools that to my thinking should come with another 5 year warranty. Seems like a small inconvenience.

    • +10

      Normally this is because the manufacturer wants the entire kit back. If we did have the product still in stock, we'd take all 5 tools back and give you a new set. Or if you only brought in the individual item we could give you a replacement and send the kit back with your faulty item in it.

      However for promotional items that are no longer on sale and we don't have stock of, it gets a bit tricky there. Normally either we'd just give you a refund/store credit, however it really does depend on who you speak to. It's a tricky situation for us to deal with and if we still had stock on hand we'd happily give it to you. Unfortunately this is just what happens with promotional items that come and go.

  • Damn I got the Dewalt 12v for $99…refund and switch?

    • +1

      I’d keep the humble bumble bee 12v as inside the house it’s lighter, just that bit smaller for under sinks or tightening draws. Unless your building serious stuff, 12v gear rocks

      • This, I just bought the dewalt drill also - I will keep both.

    • What do you need? I just want the drill and impact

      • Are you still looking for just those parts? I'm down to split those to you if so, looking to get the circular and the angle grinder (with batteries and charger) for myself.

    • I am interested in the sander and circular saw if anyone is keen to split :)

  • +1

    Anyone know the original price?

  • +1

    Gr9 4 diy jobs.
    5y warrenty on tools and 3y on battery.. is great.

  • +3

    Only downside is none of the tools in this kit are brushless. Prob not that big a deal for most of them apart from the angle grinder which is supposedly pretty gutless.

  • Tempting but got so much Ryobi stock over time. They should do a trade in deal - Trade in old gear for a new set and lock you into the system haha

  • Would the angle grinder on this kit work on PC cases? I'm looking to working on PC mods particularly rebuilding my G5

    • +1

      yes the grinder is really good…

    • the PC metal frame?

      • Yup, afaik its aluminum. I've seen modders use a dremel tool but seems to be too small to cut through the G5's aluminum case

        • +1

          Just be caution, there may be sparks if you cut it but would sparks damage pc components? Plus it won't be smooth after you cut it, you need to file it to ensure no sharp points. I suggest you need a metal handsaw but yes, it will take a long time.

  • +3

    Gosh dang this price, and including a 4Ah and 2.5 Ah battery… And a 5 year warranty!?!? Jeebus.
    Tbh if you only looking for tools for around the house, this is an amazing bloody deal.

    I paid $10 less for a brushless 18v 4Ah Makita single driver set.

  • +1

    Have have 5 Ozito Batteries that are all really good.

    But I also have 4 Ryobi batteries, 2 are stuffed :/ (one was an expensive 5Ah)

    Im staying away from ryobi from now on.

  • +2

    Is it just me, or does this also seem like an absolute steal?

    https://www.bunnings.com.au/oxito-pxc-18v-twin-starter-pack_…

    It’s 1/2 the price of all the items when bought separately

  • Wish they would make a set like this with all the brushless tools. Been considering jumping on the Ozito bandwago but would like to at least go brushless if I am going cheap on tools haha.

    Tempted by the brushless drill and drilver for $150.. but a set like this but brushless for a bit more would be awesome

    • I’d love that too. I own their brushless hammer drill and impact driver. Wouldn’t go back to brushed ever. My brushed Ozito hammer could get through my rendered brick but the brushless went through it like butter

  • +1

    Can someone confirm this review notes on the Bunnings page?

    “Warranty can only be claimed on 1 item

    • +9

      I can confirm you didn’t read any of the comments here.

    • +2

      Pretty sure that's breach of ACL… the 5 year covers all purchases in the bundle regardless if it was bundle. If a drill fails in year 1, you still have 4 years for the other items and replacement drill. Even if they explicitly say it..get it in writing and send it to ASIC, I'm sure Head Office would like a knock on the door with a big fine…

    • Since when can you only claim warranty once? If the replaced item fails again, you still have warranty.

      I don't know if it's staff getting the wrong info, or it getting mixed up along the way but that's just wrong.

      (Like once I returned something to Woolies that was faulty, and they were trying to tell me that there's been a change and faulty goods must now be returned with packaging. I tried to explain that's not what the ACL says, but that's what they'd been told by management. Still replaced it "this time" in the end, but not an argument should need to have.)

    • Read this comment on the previous page.

    • That feedback comment on the Bunnings site is misleading. It needs to be taken down.

      • Not sure if it's just my end, but looks like the feedback comment has been taken down now

        • You're right; it's gone. That's dodgy. Bunnings should have just replied to the review and clarified the situation.

  • +1

    I have the ozito system, makita, AEG, bosch, used to use the old dewalt 14v's and have extensively used the Ryobi.

    Ryobi battery system and tool sizes suck (the battery has an extra bit which goes into tool handles).

    If I could go back, I'd buy purely the ozito PXC system.
    Although there are some tools you really need with the other systems (big brands have a much more powerful drill (52nm? vs 150nm+), and a much smaller brushless impact driver for all day use).
    Ozito also seems to be missing a large reciprocating saw a DECENT whipper snipper.

    The thing that led me to ozito in the first place was the $20 LED torch (which i can't even find in stock anymore).
    Considering the other brands torch skin are $70, you could get the battery/charger+torch from ozito for roughly the same which opens the door to their system. I find the $20 ozito torch better than makitas!

    • All of Ryobi's garden tools are much better than Ozito IMO but definitely agree about the battery. They need to change the design instead of hanging on to the ancient one.

      • Yeh they messed up. Way too late now

    • The Ozito 4AH battery is on special at the moment too $50. The fast charger to go with it $30 so all together a great deal.

      • If you need both a battery and charger, this is a much better proposition

    • i got de ozito saw, pretty good. gets hot dough, especially wen hacking at three roots

      Dey gots a 2x18v whippa. Much power wow

  • +1

    What sort of workbench do you guys use with your tools?

    I'm a complete noob to all this so if possible I'd prefer a folding workbench I can use on occasions I need it?

    • +1

      I started with 2 folding saw horse and a solid piece of wood. But that was too low so I built table. Now it's a bit too high to do some tasks. so I'm alternating between the 2.

      • Install 4 actuators to drop and lift it. Pretty easy to do

    • +1

      A couple of saw horses will probably do you but this Ryobi has always seemed like a good bit of kit and gets good reviews

    • Same here absolute noob, but want to saw old fence palings and build some garden beds. Is it possible to use a couple of old chairs as sawhorses with the circular saw?

  • I bought the Ozito Brushless 18v skill only drill for $60 and also got the 2.5Ah battery pack for $39

    I ordered this kit for click and collect last night but just realised it's not brushless. Should I cancel and wait for brushless tools?

    • Yes

      • Cool will tell Bunnings to cancel the order

  • would anyone rate the Ozito PXC 18V Grass Trimmer Kit ?

    Have always wanted a line trimmer and this seems like a good idea since OPs deal comes w/ 2 batteries already.

      I have had one for awhile now. The plastic blades break apart if they hit anything stronger than grass. I havent felt the need to buy anything more powerful but then again I only use it around edges.

      • Dang… I have some annoying bits that are growing right up next to the metal and wooden fences..

        • +1
          • @klonky: Reviews are not fantastic sigh

            • @Jimothy Wongingtons: It is quite powerful being 2x 18v and ideal for trimming around fences.

              I find the bump spool system hard to use, but maybe that's why it hasn't worn out for me yet. I have to manually feed the line when needed. The line doesn't break that easily anyway, so it isn't much of a problem.

              The trigger is a little awkward and it'll tire your grip on long sessions.

              I'm happy with it as it makes trimming long grass a breeze. It can be used as a scythe.

              • @skid: thanks mate, have you tired having it tilted on side to use as an edger? Would love to be able to use it to finish up edges as ive been doing it all by hand at the moment…

                • @Jimothy Wongingtons: Yes, I have used it as an edger. The trimmer is straight shaft, so a little awkward for edging. The handle in the mid-shaft is right angled, so you can hold it on the side. I found that lifting the guide allowed me to edge deeper. When edging, the trigger has to be squeezed sideways. The line breaks more while edging as it hits the soil. It works, but I'd rather buy a 2x18v edger if Ozito release one.

      • What? plastic blades? Never heard of plastic blade. Were you meant "trimmer line"?

        • They're talking about this one

          • @whitelie: Wow, that's weird looking. Look like a tooth floss out. This one is no - no and I am using Dewalt line trimmer with line.

            • @Dark Zeus: Yeah, I think they'd break at any sign of work. Got to be line unless you're just trimming the middle of a paddock

        For what it is - esp for those who got it with battery and charger for $29 (@ www.ozbargain.com.au/node/575305), it is outstanding value.

        It is not trade quality and isn't going to wack weeds like a heavy petrol or Ego unit, but for those with small amounts of edging work and particularly anyone who struggles with the size or weight of a fully fledged line trimmer (like wives, mothers or yardwenches) it is a perfect compromise.

        To get around the issue of going through plastic blades, you can either get 50 off AliExpress for under $10, or better yet, look at this hack to convert it into a proper line trimmer with a slightly bigger cutting arc and next to no consumables.

      yes i would, it works with the much more durable bosch red blades too (which i buy on amazon), it isnt as snug as the ozito ones (easily moddable) but outside of the first ten you get with the trimmer ive heard the quality of ozito blades drop. it can be annoying when going up against solid surfaces like wood or metal but if you learn how to use the metal piece that extends showing how far forward the blade goes and preventing you from making contact you should be fine. these blades tear through anything, grass, roots, thin branches and moving from a normal trimmer with wire, ive been much happier. my garden trimming times have been cut in half. the $99 trimmer, split blower and battery kit is a great deal imo.

    • i put a stainless ruler blade. Much powerful. watch yur toes

  • Great deal. I'd jump on it straight away even if you don't need it!
    Alas, I already bought the impact driver/drill combo from the last Ozito deal that came up and a Ryobi circular saw last week!

  • Ordered but don't need the drill or driver, if anyone wants them, PM me (Melb).

  • +1

    Cheap but I am staying away from AEG, Ozitos and Ryobi.

  • everyone is going mad for this price, but 2 weels ago I picked up an impact driver, DA polisher, angel grinder and Impact wrench for the princely sum of 99 bucks from Autobarn and it's compatible with the existing Aldi stuff which hopefully everyone knows by now is made in the same factory. If I didn't already have the drill that was an extra 20 bucks. that leaves me with $129 for anything else (although I already have batteries and chargers that I only paid $40 for from aldi clearances. I also picked up Hychika mini circular saw for 20, I've not tried it yet but I figured corded for that type of tool would be a much better proposition

    • Ozito PXC is Einhell, is PowerG from AB really from the same generic factory?
      I've got their compact shop blower and angle grinder waiting for pickup (I'll wait it out, in VIC) but not even I'm expecting much.

      • They are all TMK from the Positec factory

    • Can you confirm if the Hychika battery is interchangeable with the ALDI or PowerG tools?

      • it's corded

    • How does the warranty compare with the Autobarn ones?

      • It's 3 years, and you'd take it straight to Positec since you wouldn't want a refund. I expect they'd replace it. Ok it's not over the counter at Bunnings, but I've never had a tool fail on me, even my 10+ years old ozitos are fine (I did have an ozito battery fail once, but never a tool)

  • I would like Bunnings to offer 3 piece brushless kits.

    impact driver, 13mm hammer drill , 125mm angle grinder

  • grabbed one. nice find. thanks op

  • +1

    Impulse purchase for me. Don't know when I'll use the saw but I'm sure I'll find something to test on. Honestly, DIY kits like this is a steal unless you cheaping out to use this to do industrial type of work.

  • +3

    I wish I was manly enough to actually need this kind of stuff :(

  • how much is the normal price for all these?

    • +2

      I think it was $249.

    • wow that's a big save. Really don't need the drills but other items would come in handy around the house. I have only used Bosch power tools but it is tempting at that price.

  • I bought a set around April, but that set was two 4.0 mAh batteries, and the price was AU$199.
    The package show brushless. Are all tools brushless version or just some tools

  • Are the ozito lawn mower good too? I have just moved in my new place and currently looking for a new system

  • Anyone know any good deals for a set of bits? Just looking to do DIY stuff

    • I've ordered this
      https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/246Pc-Combination-Drill-Bits-Set…

      Still trying to work out whether to get this 5pce kit or just the brushless drill and driver combo.

      • Get the five piece kit. Great combo with 2 batteries will have you covered for all the essentials…

      • +2

        I'd cancel that order tbh. They will snap dam easy I bet and prob be covered in manufacturing burs. Get a smaller quantity kit or even just buy good quality individuals. At the very least that bosch pack that goes in sale frequently on amazon. Better a Dewalt, Makita or Milwaukee. For best Sutton and Hiti my go to and they have never failed me, especially my Hilti for masonry work

  • Is an "18V impact driver" a hammer drill?

    and is the "18V 13mm drill driver" good for using to screw in screws flatpack furniture and stuff around the house?

    I had a bosch PCR 14.4v li-2 drill which just died on me. Had it for about 10 years. Don't necessarily need the circular saw or angle grinder but may as well at this price?

    • If DIY, Ozito, AEG or Green bosch. Or if you are medium to pro, Dewalt, Matika, Blue Bosch or Milwaukee.

      Impact Driver is not a hammer drill.

      • Just DIY at home, only use a drill once or twice a year for random home maintenance stuff and by no means a handyman!

        • This will serve you well.

  • Placed an order online with a store that has stock. They changed the store (god knows why) then cancelled the order. No email or SMS notification about the cancellation, logged in to their site to find out. No refund received yet.

    • Ooooh, what is going on? Regarding refund - how long have you been waiting for since the cancellation?

      • No idea it was cancelled in the first place (no communications), so I don't know how long it has been cancelled. Haven't received refund.

        Their support phone number 1800 797586 says they are experiencing a high volume of calls, and then just automatically hangs up - been trying to get through all day.
        Online chat said she's unable to speak to anyone regarding this and will follow up - when asked about refund, she said she doesn't know and will investigate and get back to me.

        • I never call Bunnings hotline number, there will be a waiting time like Centrelink. Next time, you want something from Bunnings, email or call your nearest Bunnings store, not Bunnings hotline..

          • @Dark Zeus: Yes that's the first thing I did… called the store. Forgot to mention it in op.

        • I had a refund before i got notification. Aldi maybe?

  • +3

    I'm getting a "Sorry, we hit a snag!" page. Has this deal ended?

    • +3

      Can confirm it's still showing @ $229 in Powerpass so just Bunnings up to their usual shenanigans taking stuff off the website…
      I/N is 0195860 if you want to ring your local.

      • Thanks, I rang them. They said that promotional items aren't usually sold online, which probably explains why it was removed. Anyway, they still had 7 in stock at my nearest store.

        • +1

          Don't know if that's right since plenty of promo items are online. They seem to have a habit of removing just before it goes on sale at Aldi..

          Anyway, at least you got a result of sorts.

  • I'm also getting the "Sorry, we hit a snag!" error

  • Thanks OP, ordered on Sunday night, got an email this morning that it's ready for pickup.

  • Had my order cancelled from being out of stock although I ordered as soon as this went up.

  • Sorry, we hit a snag!

    Great,,,they've removed it from their site….

  • Ordered Thursday 26th, still waiting for the order ready to collect email.

  • ordered 29/8. Called store to find out order has been cancelled. Not showing stock in any store either.. I guess I missed out

    • What's the tracking order like?

      • doesn't even show up on tracker. I haven't seen a kit like this so cheap before I guess it makes sence it sold out so quickly. Aldi deal might be the next best

  • I ended up keeping my order. Just picked it up

  • Ozito stuff used to be terrible

    The brushless stuff now is better than Ryobi and a couple of other brands IMHO plus supported by a bulletproof 5year warranty
