    $59 for the brushless drill is a winner

    i remember it was $49 pre covid so $10 extra is an ok rise

    also you guys probably have a box full of ozitos batteries and chargers by now

      Aldi one is impact drill, Bunnings never matched their brushless impact drill with Aldi's.

    • doptimal on 22/05/2023 - 23:48

      For $59.98 each, shall I get a brushless drill driver (50NM) or a brushed hammer drill (40NM)?
      I already have a corded drill driver with plenty of power, so can't decide. Hammer drill but with less grunt may be a useless compromise.

      • dufflover on 22/05/2023 - 23:54

        … that's not the main reason for buying a hammer drill.

        I'd take a hammer drill over a "drill driver" any day.

            @miicah: Well I for one use a drill mainly for drilling into walls to hang pictures, frames, shelves, etc. drilling into brick with a hammer drill is much better.

              @tango1: So…. Yes?

              I would take a brushless drill driver over a brushed hammer drill every day of the week, because I basically drill into masonry/brick/concrete about once every two years, where my corded hammer drill works just fine.

                @miicah: There is unlikely going to be any practical difference in the brushless drill driver doing something a brushed hammer still can't. Going the other way on the other hand …

                  @dufflover: Yeah except for the longer run time, better torque application, no replacing brushes, etc etc etc

                  • dufflover on 25/05/2023 - 22:31

                    @miicah: … had a normal brushed drill last multiple jobs before I needed to charge the battery.
                    … if you have this niche torque application in that 10Nm extra that the brushless drill can do that the brushed hammer can't, then good for you. I doubt most others looking at this product will.
                    … who here on OzB has actually replaced the brushes on these?

                    I mean it's all here, people here can pick for themselves but for a casual DIYer who wants just the one tool for the best jack-of-all-trades, including odd holes in a brick wall to hang a shelf or something in the garage, they get no extra value from a torque figure on a page.

        I mean, the multi tool still is a good buy since it's discounted and doesn't go on sale other than matching these Aldi catalogues.

        For a multi tool I personally don't really care about brushless vs brushed, that matters a lot more for things like drills, impact drivers, saws and garden tools. This isn't really going to see high power work to notice the difference for me but I guess you may be using it differently! It does have a tool-less quick change which matters a lot more IMO.

          I guess the concept here is to get the best value from dollars. Brushless tool in general should be more power effiecient or better performing due to higher efficiency so I would go for better options no matter I really need or not if spending the same.

      I've got at least 5 or 6 cordless drills, both Bosch Blue and Ozito PXC. The Bosch Blue is "better" but I actually prefer the brushless Ozito PXC to the top of the line Bosch Blue for simple jobs as it's a lot lighter.
      If I had my pick, I'd probably still choose my Bosch GSB 18V-60 for all but the toughest jobs, but I certainly wouldn't call the Ozito brushless rubbish.

      In fact, I haven't had an issue with any brushless Ozito tool.
      The brushed drill is a bit crap and the brushed angle grinders and impact drivers are horrible, but brushless has been good!

      Edit: I just noticed I've got a different Ozito brushless PXC, but if this is anything like mine, it'll be decent.

        Total different experience. My first brushless drill has only lasted for 3 years. When took it to Bunnings, there wasn't same model for replacement. Paid the gap, about 15 bucks, to get the new model. Surely not a good tool.

        Firstly, this one has a noticeable delay after pull the trigger. It's just a short delay, maybe only 0.5 second. It's hard to describe but quite annoying. Say, when you're pushing the drill bit to the point and you pull the trigger, but the drill doesn't start, you are wandering if something wrong, suddenly the drill start to run.

        Secondly, the torque is really not accurate and linear.

        Thirdly, the chuck can't hold the drill bit well.

        I have the brushed impact driver for 5 years. Used it a lot, and still going strong. Very happy with it. This is the best one of all my Ozito tools.

        And, of course, the drill is the worst one.

      The brushless one is a beast. I literally built my house with it, including dropping it off secondary story roof. The cheap brushed one is pretty weak but is great for driving screws that you want to drive to a specific depth as it is light, variable torque and weak which is good here.

      The true OzBargainer waits until the aldi stock goes on clearance and then buys that for an even better price.

      This indicates a torque of 215nm. I use an Autobarn Impact wrench $99 (uses Aldi batteries) with 320nm which isn’t enough to crack wheel nuts either.

      I typically crack wheels nuts with a breaker bar and use the impact wrench to take them off quickly. Putting nuts back on I’ll get the thread started by hand and screw them on quickly and finish tightening with said breaker bar.

      • RichardL on 22/05/2023 - 14:34

        Good to know that Autobarn's Garage Tough is compatible with ALDI's Xfinity.

      • danwylie on 22/05/2023 - 21:04

        That might be because you're torquing them down with a breaker bar. The wheel nuts on my car spec I think 110nm to tighten

    • waijay on 22/05/2023 - 14:41
      +4

      Most lug nuts SHOULD be torqued around 100nm, so this gun would be plenty to remove your lug nuts. Sometimes tyre shops just torque them down insanely tight (way past spec) so it won't work if this is done.

      If torqued correctly, should be good. I use this gun for both my 2012 Lexus and 2010 vw and works great (I use a torque wrench to tighten nuts to around 100).

      • Duff5000 on 22/05/2023 - 16:26

        Depends on the car. I put mine with reasonable tourque but removing needs my full weight or a breaker after they have been on for a while. Problem with using dissimilar metals I believe.

      • jamesorion on 22/05/2023 - 21:29

        100nm is right for some cars but it is too low for many. Most tend to be a little bit higher, commonly between 110 and 120, some even higher. Where I work we torque them all to 140. At home I don't use a torque wrench on my car and I'm sure I go quite a bit past the 120nm it's supposed to be.

    • JIMB0 on 22/05/2023 - 14:57
      +1

      It's basically an impact driver with a 1/2" drive. It does struggle with wheels nuts, especially if they've been done up too tight. Forget about removing a harmonic balancer or larger suspension bolts.

      • billdsl on 22/05/2023 - 15:08

        Ive ordered one anyway, it'll have to do the job, maybe i need to also invest in a breaker bar

      • Muzeeb on 22/05/2023 - 15:09

        I'm with Jimbo here.

        It's fine for removing wheel nuts that I torque to 110Nm. It tightens them to about 90ish Nm if you stop before it ugga dugga's too much. Then final torque setting with a torque wrench.

        I've tried on a few lower suspension arm bolts and there was no movement at all. Tried with my air compressor and gun and removed
        without hesitation.

        For low torque, long, easy to reach bolts around the car it's perfect and saves a heap of time over a socket wrench.

    • bamzero on 22/05/2023 - 16:47

      If your wheel nuts are tightened to spec shouldn't have any issue taking them off, (but wouldn't be too much effort to loosen with a tyre wrench either)

      Good thing is the tyre shops must use preset torque drivers these days, so they don't come out of there like they are welded on as they always seemed to before (usually because they would use a rattle gun to tighten as well as remove). Had 2 cars fitted at different tyre shops recently, expected them to be overtightened but was surprised both cars were torqued about right.

      • billdsl on 22/05/2023 - 17:26

        I did a rotation on mine on the weekend, had just been at the dealership, they had gone absolutely crazy on one of the wheels, nearly could t get it to budge, assholes.

        Hopefully the impact wrench will make life a bit easier even if I have to crack a couple of nuts manually

    I have the chainsaw (bought last time it was at this price - normally $199.)

    It's pretty good for $148 if you have batteries already. It's physically large considering the 14" bar length and not overly powerful compared to other 36V or higher voltage chainsaws. But it is a big step up from an 18V chainsaw. It's also easy to use and will happily do the work of a battery chainsaw 3 or 4 times the price - just a little slower. I have done a lot of cutting with mine with no issues.

    I use it for cutting firewood when camping at a friends property and pruning things at home that totally do not need to be cut with a chainsaw.

      I swapped exclusively to my Ozito brushless from the typical 2-stroke and I am much happier overall. 6x batteries gave my about an hour of cutting time which was enough to fill my trailer with hardwood, and not having to deal with petrol etc is a really nice benefit.

    • JohnUtah on 22/05/2023 - 15:25

    • beeroll on 24/05/2023 - 12:53

      Seems like a big jump from the Aldi model, which is only 20V, so good on Bunnings for price matching that model - they could argue it's not equivalent. What batteries do you use 3 pairs of in an hour of cutting? 4.0 A/h or smaller?

      • bamzero on 24/05/2023 - 14:04

        Good on Ozito you mean ;) I'm sure Bunnings isn't taking any loss on these.

        • beeroll on 24/05/2023 - 14:11

          Ozito is rebranded Einhell and only sold by Bunnings. No idea who actually funds Ozito as a company, but I'm pretty sure Bunnings are doing the repricing so they don't potentially run afoul of the ACCC for breach of their price guarantee policy.

          • bamzero on 24/05/2023 - 19:24

            @beeroll: As far as I know Einhell owns the Ozito brand too so I assume they did a deal with Bunnings to be sole distributor. I don't see how they'd breach any price guarantee policy though since Aldi doesn't sell Ozito. Like Colesworth weekly sale items it's usually the supplier that takes the cut, not the big chain store.

            • beeroll on 25/05/2023 - 10:38

              @bamzero: I think what happened is that chains like Bunnings signed exclusivity deals so they could say "we'll beat other stores' prices", but then no other retailers had the same products, and they never had to actually match prices. Or two chains would collude to sell basically the same product with a different SKU, so they can say they're not identical. So the ACCC has said if an alternative product is substantially equivalent, and you're making that price guarantee, consumers can hold you to it. I mean, Bunnings aren't out there advertising that they're price matching with Aldi. They're not trying to encourage people to come in and buy cheap Ozito products when Aldi sales are on. So my assumption is that they're doing it so the regulator won't fine them.

              • daanish on 26/05/2023 - 09:33

                @beeroll: That's a good idea in practice and should be applicable to electronics retailers too for things like laptops from the big manufacturers. Do you know if the ACCC have made a public release statement about this, I'd like to read up about it a bit more but all I've found so far is a Choice article that highlights the issue of Bunnings having exclusive SKU or non-standard quantity packaging which makes it impossible to price match.

                • beeroll on 30/05/2023 - 22:34

                  @daanish: @daanish - I don't truly know if the ACCC have made a public statement about this. However, I don't see why Bunnings would be offering a price match on Aldi products - which are definitely not identical - if they didn't believe it would cause issues for them to not offer a match. So I have to assume the shady price match practices have been attracting warnings.
