    Waiting for bunnings to match with ozito PXC range.

      They might have to price match with some Ryobi also

      • +1

        Historically Bunnings matches Aldi's powertools with the Ozito range, I only know because NT doesn't have an Aldi but my Dad waits for Aldi deals to buy price matched Ozito gear from Bunnings haha

      Waiting for bunnings to match with ozito PXC range.

      Do they come with or without a brush ?

      • +1

        Only searched the recip saw and it does come in a brushless variant. The brushed variant was underwhelming and I returned it. I doubt they will sell the ryobi brush less for $49 but here's to hoping

        • +1

          I bought the brushed one for my mum to use in the garden. For the price it's ok, much less power than my brushed FatMax one though.

          If they match the brushless Ozito @ $49 i'll be tempted to give it a go. My fatmax one still works great but i use it often and is bound to give out eventually.

          • @Duff5000: I use my neighbours fatmax saw so I know exactly the power differential you're talking about.

    • Do bunnings do it in store or does it show on the website?
      I guess if they match this time it will be soon?

      Only worth reading if you're clueless whinger, Aldi tools are decent value for money. On the occasion it fails within 5 years, you can get a replacement no question asked if you keep the manual and receipt to know where to send the claim too.
      In saying that tho, I says their 20v power saw is underpowered, better get corded one if you go thicker than 1cm

      • Aldi tools are decent value for money.

        Sure, if you're not worried about quality and precision.

        • Quality is good. Precision is depending on the type of tool and the job. If you need precision for woodworking then almost non of the usual battery powered one will fare any better against each other, the one that do is way overpriced and youre better off with corded version.

      • +4

        you can get a replacement no question asked

        If it's in stock, which is basically within a week of purchase. After that there is basically zero chance of a replacement, even if posting it off.

        I can take any faulty Ozito tool to any Bunnings and do an immediate exchange and walk out with the replacement in 5 minutes. I'll spend longer in queue waiting for an Aldi staff member!

        • You obviously don't have experience in the field, Aldi warranty claim against these power tools goes through third party, all you need is the correct email to send the claim through and they'll send the replacement free of charge, you don't even need to send in the faulty one.

          • @lgacb08:

            all you need is the correct email

            Which isn't on the ALDI website, and may or may not be on the packaging, and may or may not have a valid domain in 18 month's time when you go to make a claim to an email address that no longer exists, sure…

            For example, the '[email protected]' email address doesn't resolve, and there's certainly no valid website for that domain. Who knows how many other email addresses ALDI has.

            You REALLY think there's some 3rd party business that has replacement stock of ALL the Workzone, Ferrex, XFinity, Ferrex Pro etc tools ready to go? Come on.

            • +1

              @Switchblade88: That's why you need to keep the manual. Every power tool package has documentation showing where to get the claim. Those RMA companies are not one post wonder or phoenix company, they also deal with other brands too not just Aldi and no they are not just some generic powertoolsupports.com. You clearly have no experience in dealing with them so don't make the assumption.
              and yes given Aldi release these similar tools every year you'll always end up with something else, in some case better off when they don't have brushed anymore.
              If you choose to go with Bunnings you might get on the spot replacement but no where near the bargain. Aldi regularly writes them off to half the price after 1 months or so. Bunnings otherwise bring back the double price after that Saturday and they sometimes don't even have the unique one like the $99 sds hammer drill.

                @lgacb08:

                That's why you need to keep the manual

                And that's where I got the dud email address from. No point having a warranty contact point that you cannot actually contact when the email address on the manual DOESN'T WORK. I pulled that address of the actual manual for an ALDI mower, it wasn't made up.

                You clearly have no experience in dealing with them

                I certainly do, and I have enough experience to override your own incorrect assumptions.

                If you choose to go with Bunnings you might get on the spot replacement but no where near the bargain.

                Buying Ozito means I can take advantage of a sale price when matching ALDI. Then I can ALSO take advantage of easy warranty claims.

                • @Switchblade88: Yeah, sounds like you didn't try hard enough or don't want to think outside the box, an email or phone call to aldi HQ could've solved the issue or at least got your refund. I'm not taking aldi for the full price when release because I know I can get it way less than that in a few weeks. No way Bunnings can offer that level of bargain. Even when they fail, I probably be far ahead and can easily get a replacement which hasn't even happened yet.
                  Aldi battery range is more superior than ozito too, they all use Samsung cells unlike ozito and the latest round uses much more compact 21700 cells.

                  • +1

                    @lgacb08: Wow Aldi apologists really love OzB. Why does he need to think outside of the box? Shouldn't he just follow the instructions in the Aldi supplied doco? Dude has a valid viewpoint of his experience with Aldi and as a result favours the Bunnings approach. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. FFS.

    If only Ozito had some larger 8ah batteries too… might be time to dust off the 3d printer to be able to use these 8AH batteries in my Ozito mower.. hmm

    The brushless Ozito reciprocating saw is $169 so that's a nice discount if they match it. Or maybe they will just match with the non brushless one that is currently $64

    • +3

      I think they will go brushless as that is the whole point of difference with these tools

    • +1

      They matched with the Brushed Model

    • Einhell has 8Ah PXC batteries using 21700 cells, so hopefully we see the Ozito branded version in Australia soon.

      Like many 21700 tool batteries, they do 5Ah / 8Ah adjustable capacity, for maximising usable capacity or improving longevity.

      • Yea Einhell has had the 4-6AH battery available since 2020 and that is still not available here so I don't have much fait in Ozito bringing the 5/8AH battery here anytime soon.

  • Do aldi sell it as a kit (tool + battery)? Anyone who owns any aldi tools, could you please give a small review? Particularly on the quality and durability of the tools

    • The only Xfinity 'Kit' they sell are usually with the Drill or with Multiple Tools Set (but not this time round).

      The issue with ALDI Power Tools is that you can only purchase them during these special buys, so if you want to pick up a particular tool/battery; you'll might have to wait months.

    • +1

      I have a bunch of tools bought on the cheap, if you time it well you can have them at pretty much give away price. All of their tools are well built for the price, the table saw is probably the only one I'm not very happy about, but I never owned a corded one and compare it against a full fledge mitre saw. The brushless drill and driver, reciprocating saw and angle grinder are very decent. Of all the tools only one failed and got a replacement quite easy.

    • I bought a cordless drill from Aldi and it developed a wobbly chuck/drive shaft after a few uses so I got a refund. I've had three other hardware/electronic items from them that did not last long so I don't buy any moving parts/electronic hardware items from there now, just some food.

  • Any review on the 20v brushless plunge saw? Thanks.

      I believe this it the first time ALDI is selling the 20V Brushless Plunge Saw.

    • Also a pluge saw is ment to have a track right? Is there a track with this unit?

      • Yeah I would like to know this too…. I know Bunings sell the Ozito Track seperatley for a tound under $60. But would like to know if this comes with a track OR if it will work with the Ozito track are they all similar ?

    have to watch this for Bunnings price update

  • the reciprocating saw is so so. wouldn't buy it again (or the ozito equivalent). ok if you just want something cheap to trim branches.

    • even the ozito brushless?

    • Maybe you need better blades to begin with. I had the previous brushed version of it and it helped me take out the whole stump of a 5m high silky Oak. I later upgraded to the brushless one and it was noticeably more powerful.

  • The guybrator

  • What does Ah mean in the battery?

    • Amp hours, refers to battery capacity.

  • If after the drill check your local Aldi, my local had quite a few Drill 2ah battery / charger kits on clearance for $59

    Hopefully Bunnings pricematch the Ozito bushless recip: https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-brushless-reciproc…

    No reviews of the Ozito yet but the ones for the Einhell version are generally good.

    https://www.amazon.com.au/Einhell-Cordless-Brushless-Swiveli…

    • $119 price drop? That would be a bargain. They might pass off the brushed version as a match which is currently $64
      .

  • Are brushless motors more powerful than brushed?
    or any other benefits?

    • It's not that simple unfortunately.

      Brushless isn't necessarily more powerful, you would need to compare specs.

      Similar spec brushless motors will be smaller, lighter and more efficient than their equivalents in brushed.

      So yeah, generally speaking brushless is better. Better battery life, and lighter. Often more power.

      • I got the aldi brush - drill and impact driver kit
        but it feels weak when trying to drive the screws into the wood.

        e.g. I need to predrill a hole then tried driving a screw into the wood of a fence with the impact driver but I can only drive the screw 1 third in before it would just not drive it in anymore and if I keep trying, the phillips head bit would wreck the phillips head screw if I try anymore..

        So I need to take out the screw and drill the hole bigger then it would let me drive the screw all the way in.

        Would a brushless impact driver be able to solve this problem as described above without needing to drill a hole or make the hole bigger etc?

        I have seen some fence installers have a small makita cordless impact driver
        able to drive screws into the fence quite easily
        and they even drive the screw into a metal without pre drilling.

        • You should NEVER have to pre-drill with an impact driver.
          A major point of an impact driver is not requiring pre-drilling (apart from speed of screw insertion).
          A brushless impact driver should have at least 150Nm of torque if not more (mine has 300Nm) & at least 2,000 impacts per minute.
          All things being equal brushless tools are typically more powerful than their brushed equivalents (same brand). Additionally, sometimes they can make use of more power & can take more pressure for longer using the ‘high output’ batteries (Ryobi HP tools & batteries range is an example).
          Impact drivers make screwing into hardwoods so easy. I don’t use them on pine (or am exceedingly careful) as the wood is so soft it splits easily under the incredible forces

          • @Boogerman:

            You should NEVER have to pre-drill with an impact driver.

            yeah but the aldi brush impact driver I got needs to predrill else it won't drive it into fence wood (is it hardwood?)
            Already tried and all it does is the screw stops going in, and the impact driver bit strip the phillip head screw..

            It also won't drive the screw in with a small drill hole.. so need to predrill a bigger hole..

            Tested it a few times..

            that is why I was looking at the brushless one from aldi

            • @pinkybrain: Note that Aldi aren’t selling an impact driver they are selling an impact wrench.
              The impact wrench has a square drive so can be difficult to get screwdriver bits for it

              • @Boogerman: yeah would look at it more closely if I was buying or install..

                just asking about if the brushless impact driver would be able to drive in the screw without stripping it
                or the issues that I encountered with the brush impact driver.

                I seen aldi sell those new ferrex brushless impact but not sure if I should get it..
                since don't know if same issue would occur

                • @pinkybrain: Your impact driver is under powered
                  I would take it back for refund
                  An impact driver should have plenty of torque to put screws in without pre drilling or stripping heads

                • +1

                  @pinkybrain: Are you sure you are using it right?

                  The only thing that would make sense here is if you didnt realise the impact driver is meant to spin fast until the torque reaches some certain limit then it stops spinning and basically hammers the head rotationally.

                  I have seen someone in the past stop once the 'hammering' part starts thinking somehting was wrong. That's like the main way they work though. You shouldn't be stripping heads on screws with an impact driver. Push forward and pull the trigger fully.

                  Even my old brushed impact driver has no worries dring screws into anything. If anything snapping screws is the issue.

  • Apart from the convenience of getting a quick replacement at Bunnings, what are people's thoughts on the aldi vs ozito…I haven't got any tools yet so not locked in, and I just am doing home stuff, keen on the plunge saw for some outside work

    • I'd like this answered too. From what I can see, the aldi specs are frequently better than Ozito. Just look at the torque on the impact wrench for example. The worst thing about Aldi tools are tou cant buy one when you need it

  • how's ot compared to WORX and Bosch green/blue?

  • Anyone know if a makita battery + adapter will work in these? In particular, will these tools have a low voltage cut out so batteries are not drained to a point that causes recharging issues.

    Thank you

    p.s. adapters seem to be much easier to find now… gumtree, fb, ebay…
