    Cracker of a deal especially with 3.6v, the number of bits and light included! I do not think anything comes close to this in the same price range.

    • aoeueoa on 07/02/2023 - 14:48

      Going to hijack your comment to give a brief rundown of this. For the price you can't really complain. But there are some design limitations of this:
      - the attachment bits are quite difficult to remove. There is a tray that you pull out and it's difficult to reach the back bits and remove them. Especially hard if you've got arthritis, long nails etc.
      - Torch is quite dim
      - no charge indicator.
      - inside, the battery is quite close to the on-off solder joints and is only separated by some sort of compressed cardboard piece. It's possible that over time and use the cardboard degrades and could cause a battery short.
      - microusb charge port might fail over time (USB C is much sturdier)
      - on off switch is low grade brittle plastic type, possibly will fail at some point too.

      The battery inside is a 1500mah 18650. You should be able to solder in a high current 2500mah for more capacity and torque, though not sure how the other components will handle it. I didnt look in the head to see if its motor direct drive or gearbox driven. Likely plastic gears. Will revise comment if i dive into it more.

    As cheap as it is, I'd save the money and put it towards an Ozito 18V drill driver when Bunnings price-matching an Aldi sale and get much more use out of it. If you're cramped for space you can buy a right angle adapter for your drill or if it's a small one-off job you can generally get away with a short or stubby screwdriver. YMMV but that's what I'd do, especially if no specific need right now.

        I bought the brushless impact driver to supplement my 18v hammer drill (too heavy) as I thought it would be lighter / easier for putting things together, but it has ridiculous torque (great for screwing fence palings to posts though). I'll be grabbing this too.

      This unit is great. Recommend even though the bits aren't the best - one didn't even fit the tool! Although not a complete substitute for a larger drill, it is plenty useful and can often be more convenient and better suited for the job.

        I see so many people not realising that there are different types of cross head screws - there's Philips and Pozidrive. They're not the same. Learn to recognise the difference guys because both screws are widely utilised and it may explain why you the screws are slipping out. https://www.pbswisstools.com/en/news/detail/phillips-and-poz…

      +1, I've got 2 impact drivers and a drill, all cordless.

      I bought this, the impact driver is heavier then this 3.6v drill, but lighter and smaller then the 18V drill, but it has no torque control and its very easy to fk up furniture or strip the screws if you apply too much torque.

      The drill is bigger then the driver but you can use the clutch to set a torque.

      Both of these a fking heavy to be going under furniture etc, and most of the time they're too big for the confined spaces.

      So this cordless 3.6v is both light, small and has torque control, it suits the role perfectly for small DIY projects, or furniture building where the cordless drill or impact driver is too awkward for.

    • PlaunsJanus on 04/02/2023 - 07:30

      IKEA type furniture. You drive the fastener and torque tight by hand with a twist of the wrist. Don’t bother trying to use an 18v impact driver, on an 18v impact driver the ergonomics are all wrong for this type of work.
      Only use a 1/4” 18v impact driver for wood screws and Phillips/hex into thin steel.

          3.6v just isn't enough, need 12v

          • PlaunsJanus on 05/02/2023 - 22:47

            @Ricky Jones: For its intended purpose… It’s not voltage you need, it’s amperage. Higher volts means speed but a higher voltage tool will have a bigger power supply.

            A 240v grinder vs a 240v grinder, for example. Do you think that voltage is the difference and not it’s ability to draw current?
            If you have a 1ah battery in an 18v driver I think you would agree that voltage is fine for low resistance tools at high speed, but if it needs to work hard, that 1ah or 3ah battery is not going to power the tool. Voltage delivers amperage but if there’s no amperage to deliver, then watch your volts drop and overheat your battery

            @Ricky Jones: This thing is rubbish, but rechargeable screw drivers are brilliant and have a specific purpose, I have a Bosch IXO and it gets used over my 12v Makita stuff and I'd never use my 18v Makita stuff for the jobs I use the IXO for!

    Bought one a couple years ago. Pretty handy for Ikea jobs and other flat pack assembly. Back then it was either the Bosch equivalent or this. I chose the Ozito as it was cheaper and had a charging stand instead of a plug.

    Only issue I had was trying to take the bits out of the holder.

    • dlee on 04/02/2023 - 13:20

      Could you say why you prefer a charging stand? Is it to avoid having to push in a plug?

      By the way, there is this model (https://www.bunnings.com.au/xu1-3-6v-cordless-screwdriver_p0…) that is around $4 cheaper. Difference is the charger is plug-in, and it has only 4 bits instead of 24. Plus the brand is different, of course…

                              Your rhetoric of 'a guy' from two decades ago copping flak for using 'an old German branded drill' doesn't hold any weight to your cause.

                              I'm still using hand me down tools from an old German brand after 4 decades from purchase and they are as well respected as anything else I have from Taiwan and Japan from the same era.

                              Nobody blinks twice at which brand I buy because my work is impeccable and my tools are well maintained, repaired or replaced.

                              I have a Bosch professional heat gun and an ozito heat gun… Which one do you think I've needed to buy twice when the warranty ran out? Furthermore can you tell the difference after I've presented the product to the client?

    Great Deal OP, these are really handy for Houshold jobs.

    Says takes 3-5 hours to charge, what is the actual battery life?

    Nice one! I was looking at the ryobi 4v one for a few weeks. It was $49 in December on clearance. New model was $69 and now $79.

    Thanks OP. Grabbed 1

    bosch blue 18V impact driver is my go to for screw jobs

      what about nut jobs.

    Just returned my annoying to use 'push to go' Ozito for this. Same exact price.
    I like this one better

      This opens up to the same style too right? Not sure why they don't advertise that in the photos

      Why is it annoying to use?

      • King Tightarse on 08/02/2023 - 12:22

        keeps spinning after power disconnected - hard to use accurately

    Have this. Use it all the time. Perfect for travel/camping. Also use it with my manual coffee grinder.

    • georgiechan on 03/02/2023 - 21:24

      Using it with the manual coffee grinder is a great idea

    I have had this for a year. Amazing, dont need a impact gun now. I just pilot with the drill and use the screwdriver to put in the screw. No more threaded screw heads. Only criticism is that you need tiny child like fingers to get out the drill bits from the holder

      You used an impact gun to drive in screws?

        That's what an impact driver is for…

        I’d like to see you try to build something. How are you supposed to make a screw bury into hardwood by hand, faster and with less strain on your joints?
        It’s not a nail gun for the odd house frame we're all constantly constructing.

        • Muzeeb on 04/02/2023 - 07:52

          With an appropriately sized pilot hole - no problem.
