    If only this comes with a 4a battery.

    • +10

      I have this and a spare 4a battery.
      2.5 is usually my choice as 4a is pretty big and heavy.

    • +8

      I have the standard 18v drill and the 2.5 battery last for aaaaaggggees for occasional household use. Its also easier to hold and use with the smaller battery. Might be different for hammer drill but for the standard drill its plenty.

      • It absolutely is a different story if using as a hammer drill through e.g. Reinforced concrete or even if not but with a big drill bit. My current cordless hammer drill came with 2 x 1.5ah batteries and I thrashed one of them almost the first time I used it and killed it without even getting the holes I needed drilled. If you keep that in mind you will be fine, but don't expect to be doing everything this drill can do with a 2ah battery.

    • +1

      A few years back they had it with 2x 1.5ah batteries. Was much better as it was lighter and still had plenty of power and long run time. Plus the other could be on charge if you were going to do a lot of work with it.

    • +4

      I always use my 1.5Ah battery in my drill even though I have 4Ah ones available. The big ones are annoyingly heavy and cumbersome by comparison.

  • +1

    Looks like price matching upcoming aldi special?

    Correct, matching/beating ALDI's Ferrex 20V Drill with Brushless Motor Kit

    EDIT: Appears Bunnings one is also a hammer drill; unconfirm on the ALDI.

    • Sorry for the ignorance, but what is the difference between a hammer drill and the other alternatives?

      • +5

        In a standard drill, the bit just rotates. Whereas in a Hammer Drill, there's an impact mechanism that generates a hammering motion (provide quicker drilling with less effort).

        Usually the Hammering mechanism can be switched off, so becomes a standard drill.

      • +2

        hammer is better, has a switch for hammer function. generally has more torque than non hammer one.

        but spec wise you can compare toe to toe unless you try it first hand.

        • +1

          Thanks! I think i have tried drills in the past with the hammering option, sounds like it's good for hard surfaces, like brick. I assume the switch would also allow me to disable the hammering function and use it as a normal rotating drill?

          • +1

            @pichxlonco: yes, you can switch to hammer and non hammer mode. its for masonry. I don't use it much but its nice to have feature.

          • @pichxlonco: Yes, hammer drill is for masonry drilling (with the right drill bits of course)

            If it's just the odd hole in the wall you need to drill something like this is fine. For serious masonry drilling you'd be wanting a rotary drill.

  • Any batteries on sale ?

  • Ozito one has hammer, ALdi doesn't.

    this Saturday Aldi one seems to be different than the last hammer drill kit they had:
    https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/14122/99098/a6d8933b-4…

    • +2

      Its likely the upcoming deal has hammer function, just neglected to show in advertising. If you zoom in on the drill you can see the little hammer symbol just behind the chuck. Usually the drill-only they sell is about $50 and not brushless.

    • can confirm this is a hammer drill, Aldi code is 704285. Note it comes with a 2Ah battery and only 1 year warranty.

      • The 1 Year Warranty applies to the charger and battery. The Skin is 5 Years.

    • Can confirm that the ALDI one is also a hammer drill.

  • +4

    This is a great general purpose drill, and a bargain at this price for brushless. Good how Bunnings price matched a lower speced drill. I guess they really want to keep us in their ecosystem….

    Thanks also for the 4.0Ah battery link.

  • I'm gonna need to start building up my DIY gear, seen all those Ryobi & ozito deals. Keen on brushless without breaking the bank.
    Any advice? I assume need to commit and stick to one brand?

    • +1

      I have a bunch of Ryobi power tools and the batteries are all interchangeable. After you buy a few tools and have a small collection of batteries, you can just buy the skins (the tool alone without any battieres)

    • +3

      if you're a noob DIY handyman like me (mostly fixing stuff around the house + small youtube projects), I feel this is perfect.

      I'm in the Ozito ecosystem and seems pretty good for just that. inexpensive, does the job adequately, good warranty (had this exact brushless drill fail and Bunnings replaced on the spot) and batteries can be used on other Ozito battery operated tools. I've slowly built up my collection just waiting for sales like these and biting the bullet.

      I have a charger + 2 batteries and just rotate between the two as required, charging the flat when required. Can't go wrong but again, I'm a noob, so may be better options out there :)

    • +1

      Look at marketplace. Often you get 1-2 years old items still under warranty for a fraction of a price. That's how i bought all my tools.
      I have ozito. Does the job well.
      Ryobi is a brand name, they charge for that. Not sure the actual difference. Yes 36 v is an actual 36v and not 2 x 18v but I don't notice any issues with my needs.
      The difference is like Mercedes v Hyundai. Both will get you there, the experience maybe different.
      I do try not to let the grass grow out of control as the mower stalls with heavy load but every 3 weeks in summer keeps it happy. In winter, I mow every 3 months.
      Both are good with warranty which is facilitated by bunnings. We all know how good they are with customer service (karcher sweeper)

    • +4

      Ozito Brushless Hammer drill and impact driver are awesome for home DIY jobs. Have put up fences, curtains, TV etc. with no issues.

  • Has anyone actually used it on brick? Would rather get the rotary version but this is so much cheaper.

    • +3

      I have used this brushless hammer drill on brick and while it does work with correct masonry bits, corded rotary drill will always be faster (might not matter for one off use).

    • +1

      Yes, I've used it to install basic wall anchors, no problems.
      I wouldn't try to put holes in concrete with it.

    • +2

      Depends on the brick. Trying to put a few 8mm holes into brick at our place with this was tedious. Recruited a child to keep some water spraying so the bits didn't overheat. Took easily more than 5 min per hole. Not a criticism of this drill though, i pulled the big corded Ryobi out and it didn't do much better.

      Bought a rotary SDS drill after and it took a few seconds each hole.

      • +1

        Same. The bricks in my house seem to be extra hardened red brick, house built in the 1980's. This hammer drill was just about useless, so was my huge old school corded Ryobi hammer drill. Got a cordless Ozito rotary SDS drill and was easy. Plenty of power, got to be careful you don't crack or blow out the back of the bricks.

        • +1

          lol that was almost exactly my experience. Red brick house, big old heavy Ryobi i got from my parents years ago.

          I had to slow down with the SDS as the first hole i blew a chunk off the face of the brick.

    • I have, it sucks, it's a real nightmare to drill into brick even with proper masonry bits. Like, it'll do it if you're just drilling small holes, but it'll take a long time, and you might even blunt your bits in the process.

      If you're drilling into brick, IMO you really want a rotary hammer drill, e.g. https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-brushless-rotary-h…

  • Question what about drill bits ? Does it include or do we have to buy separately ?

    • None included.

      • Any suggestions for drill bit ?

        • The Bosch kits are regularly on sale at Amazon and have been great for me around the house (paid ~$25 for mine)

          Bosch 91-Piece V-Line Titanium Drill Bit and Screwdriver Bit Set with Ratcheting Screwdriver (For Wood, Masonry, and Metal) https://amzn.asia/d/eRlpg3y

        • +1

          Frost metric set from bunnings is fantastic. I replace any broken ones as they break and I always have a full set

  • +3

    Rotary SDS drill is 1M% better at drilling masonry than any normal hammer drill (any brand)

    • Any suggestions for SDS+ drill bits? Got the ozito 1500W one

      • Sutton. Poor man buys twice.

      • +1

        I bought these and they've been great the dozen or so times I've used them.

        https://www.bunnings.com.au/full-boar-12-piece-sds-plus-4-cu…

        If you want nicer quality, I'd say you won't much of a step up until you spend money on something like Diablo bits.

        Sutton and Kango aren't bad either, but my experience hasn't been as good with them, but they're 1000000x better than craftright, etc.

        • Great thanks Jarrod! And at a pinch, can you use regular drill bits in a SDS drill in non-hammer mode?
          I have hundreds of good regular bits so was wondering whether they are compatible or have an adapter

          • @cheaptech20: Some SDS drills come with a normal bit holder you can put on. I dont think that works with the hammer mode though.

            SDS bits last much longer anyway. My Ryobi came with several of the common sizes. Easier to just make sure you buy fixings that come in the size bit you have.

            • @Duff5000: Excellent thanks - I just have the Ozito 1500W but it only came with a handful of bits. I have things like a holesaw that I'll need to see if I can use this drill for

  • is this same as this deal ? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/652692

    • +1

      Looks like that had 2 x 1.5amps batteries and this has 1 x 2.5 amps

  • No mower? Or have they matched 18v instead of 36v?

    • Couldn't find a Ozito PXC mower that has been matched.

  • +10

    Difference between drils:

    There's 3 main differences

    Drill/Driver - used for general drilling into wood and other such materials. Can also be used to drive screws for most general use.
    Impact Driver - used for driving screws etc. through tougher materials - often used in construction.
    Hammer Drill - used for drilling into masonry applications like brick and concrete.

    For general around the home applications, if you have a brick home, i'd recommend you get a hammer drill if you are getting just one. It does all of the above applications in a pinch. Hammer drills are a bit heavier than the other two as a result.

      Thanks?

    • +2

      This is the comment i was waiting for. Thanks so much! I only thought there were 2 types, but your explanation made things pretty clear. Will be getting one of these!

      • +1

        Well there's rotary drills as well, but prob not something needed by the DIYer punching a few holes in brick.

      • +1

        Note the hammer drill will also have the drill/driver functions. It just an extra feature to have on a drill/driver.

        Impact driver is a must have IMO. I use it all the time.

  • Anyone here buy one of these as a backup drill? I've got an old AEG brushless hammer drill that's still alive and kicking, batteries still healthy. Always been pondering whether to get a "cheap" backup just in case like Ozito/Workzone, or wait it out for a store to randomly clear a branded one like a Ryobi or AEG.

    Some previous deal comments mention how these might not be as solid, like slightly wonky chucks and stuff.

    • +2

      I've got an AEG that I use for masonry drilling or bigger jobs, but also have the brushed Ozito Drill Driver that came in some kit. I was going to sell but ended up i use it a fair bit around the house being a lot more compact and lighter (with a 2.5Ah battery). Not sure how the Ozito hammer compares in size/weight though.

    • +1

      Handy to have a 2nd drill around. I have a fatmax brushed one as well as the ozito brushless.

  • Any line trimmers on sale?

    • Can still get this kit for $125

      (Sorry, just realised the Bunnings page has been taken down but I can see it's still available at that price in the Powerpass app.)

  • Any advantages of the other one noted at the bottom of the bunnings page:

    'Ozito PXC 18V Cordless Hammer Drill Kit PXHDK-400' for $139?

    looks like bigger battery but that's it?

    • +2

      Don't think so. Can get this drill kit plus a 4Ah and be $10+ ahead with a spare 2.5Ah instead.

  • Not bad. I paid $62 for just the battery and that was on "sale" from $68.

  • +3

    Just got back from Bunnings, their system wasn’t updated to reflect the discount. Showed them the website listing on my phone though and they did a manual price correction. Thanks OP!

  • Does anyone know the max torque of this drill?

    • +1

      From manuall:

      Input: 18V
      Chuck Size: Ø2-13mm Keyless
      Chuck Material: Metal
      No Load Speed: 0-500 / 0-1,800/min
      Impact Rate: 0-8,000 / 0-28,000/min
      Torque Settings: 20
      Max. Torque: 50Nm
      Drilling Capacities: Ø32mm (Timber), Ø13mm (Metal), Ø10mm (Masonry)
      Weight: 1.6kg

      • Oh, that’s very low. Thank you for sourcing that.

        • I mean, to be fair it is a $78 drill haha idk what you were expecting 😂

          • @lachhelix: It feels a little less than my fatmax brushed but its fine for most things. Stick a large diameter hole saw on it and it will stall pretty easily but other than that, its fine.

  • +1

    The warranty on Oziti stuff is unbeatable, great for home use

  • +4

    Im a chippy of 15+ years and finally had enough with the dreaded makita drills burning out on me. So I bought 3 of these for roughly the same price as 1 makita and I cant fault them. Its not goi g to break your wrist but more then beefy enough to get the job done. Never thought a d.i.y drill would be my fav

  • Can someone tells me if this is good one. Just purchased yesterday for $89 from Costco.

    BLACK+DECKER 18V Lithium-Ion 2 Speed Hammer Drill Kit 2x 1.5Ah with 80 Accessories & Flight Case https://amzn.asia/d/7181L6d

    I will be using it for purely household work.

    • -1

      Black and Decker is good brand imo. I would this is good

      • +2

        B&D Is relabled junk

        • Really ? Heard good things about trimmer in this forum

        • +1

          B&D own a heap of the other brands like dewalt, stanley, irwin etc.

          The tools they sell under they own label as B&D do tend to be entry level stuff.

  • Any recommended drill bit set? Just looking for the most common bits, no need for a full set for every single possible scenario

    • Frost HSS metric set from bunnings are great drill bits

  • Noob question, can this also be used to tighten screws while assembling new furniture or there's a different one for such work?

    • +1

      It can be but I wouldn't recommend using a drill for flat pack assembly - the torque is too high and you'll risk damage by overtightening. Better off with an electric Screwdriver or just hand tools IMO

      • +1

        I may have used an impact driver on some ikea furniture in my time.

        • As have I, hence the warning!

      • +1

        Lower the torque way down and use the drill only the get it most of the way in. So the screws are done something like finger tight. Then tighten them by hand the rest of the way.

    • +3

      Yes it can, torque can be lowered as to not strip out screws.

  • Which shall be a better option, Aldi or this one? Especially ifconsidering the lawn mower too..any thoughts?

    • +1

      I think Aldi might have the better tools, but i would recommend Ozito for the much bigger range, better warranty, easy returns
      Also something to be said for the ability to just walk into a store anytime and pick up what you want. Instead of having to wait 6mnths for the next special buy.

  • Just picked one up!

    Just wondering - is it normal for the LED light at the bottom of the drill to remain on for 10 to 15s after I let the trigger go? It used to turn off immediately after I let go of the trigger on my older Ozito cordless drill…

    • +1

      Yes that's normal. I guess it gives you time to reposition if you want to drill more holes in a dark area.

    • +3

      Yes normal and by far the better way to do it. Tap the trigger, light comes on, then get everything lined up with the light on rather than hving to slightly hold the trigger to see.

  • $149 now

    • Still shows as $78.60 for me, in WA

      • 12:31am in Sydney, deal ended at midnight
