    Landfill quality.

      Downvoting the truth. I used one of these for the first time last week, I felt like it had as much power & torque as an asthmatic 90 year old.
      I thought maybe it was purchased from the toy department and came packaged with a big yellow hammer that squeaked on impact.

        In a moment of "i need something quick to drill a hole" i bought the xu hammer drill. I think i would have been done quicker just asking for a hole to appear. It is as powerful as my grandma. And she's been dead for 5 years.

      Perfectly fine for a homeowner who occasionally needs to drill some holes in some softer materials (not hardwood joists or well made brick). Obviously not great quality or features, but also $25 per item.

        There's an Ozbargainer, and then there's straight trash that doesn't fit.

        I'd say the Ozito PXC should be the minimum recommendation here but hey, people still publish 250nit laptop displays with 8GB ram so I won't fight this fight

        • dlovep on 25/08/2023 - 12:51

          I guess there's a different between being slow vs being useless… LOL

    • Hoju on 25/08/2023 - 10:14

      Disagree. Bought for this price 5 years ago and done some reasonable renovations on two homes with them. Still going strong no issues.
      My recommendation: Get these and spend what you save on good drill bits, that’s the stuff that going cheap costs you in the end

      • cornflakes on 25/08/2023 - 11:56

        Right? Quality drill bits make all the difference. You're also not meant to be hammering the shit out of things that you drill, just rely on a sharp bit and the weight of the drill.

        Can't comment on the impact drill and how decent the motor is though.

      • RichardMelbourne on 25/08/2023 - 14:20

        Yep same here and probably around the same time. It's been fantastic for what I've needed (light reno's) and I also bought a set of really hard Bosch drill bits. The set in this post might not be as good but the one I bought has been brilliant.

    Alright kit, I built some trellis' with it

      lol, the bunnings trellis costs more than the tools.

  • tryagain on 25/08/2023 - 07:59

    I think this is one of the times when you are really better of stretching your budget and getting an OZITO PXC combo. This is still cheap for what it is though.

    • miicah on 25/08/2023 - 08:22

      As a 20 year old uni student who paid $50 for a corded single drill, a kit like this would have been amazing.

      Sometimes there is no such thing as "stretching the budget"

      • expertreader on 25/08/2023 - 08:24

        your corded drill is still a decent buy compared to this. This wouldnt be able to do what you can with corded. More for less is sometimes more frustrating.

      • tryagain on 25/08/2023 - 10:29
        +1

        Yeah, as I said, this is cheap for what it is, but cheap dosent always equal value. Only buy what you can afford, but if you can afford a bit more, then I think the Oxito PXC alternative is much better value.

    I would just go with Ozito in this price bracket.

    If Ozito is too expensive save up a bit longer or borrow a drill from your friend.

      Any deals on friends?

          Great. Can I borrow your drill please?

  • R4 on 25/08/2023 - 08:13

    If you're on a tight budget, just go with Ozito. This stuff if garbage.

  • djsweet on 25/08/2023 - 08:17

    Going strong after ~5 years. Paid $20 for the drill on its own.

    Been using this for years for little things around the house and its still serving me well

    Been using this for five years now fir DIY use and still going strong

  • DeanoB on 25/08/2023 - 08:34

    Gotta think outside the square here a bit… Buy for under $50, give the tool skins to young kids for Xmas toys, strip the battery packs and recover and use the 18650's then MacGyver the crap out of the charger and plug it into your ebike and Tesla to charge, and then wait 3 years to drive down the road to pick up your next eneloop order…

  • papagoose on 25/08/2023 - 08:49

    I like it, bought this like 3 years ago, obviously it’s not heavy duty or anything but it’s $50 for both pieces and for doing light odd jobs around the house it’s perfectly fine

    As bad as it looks

  • Lysxz on 25/08/2023 - 09:06

    Maybe value if you want a couple of RS550 motors and some 18650 cells for something.

  • mitt on 25/08/2023 - 09:18

    Bought 2 of the hammer drills ages ago while they were on clearance. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/681355 They are light duty tools but have been great to have sitting at home ready to go. Having 2 means I dont have to switch out bits. They are worth it just for that.

    Ozbargain is full snobs. A deal is a deal especially for those who arent tradies or keen hobbyists. What do you expect for 2 power tools, 2 batteries and a charger? It's still a great deal backed by a local bricks and mortar shop who has a hassle free return policy.

    • snuke on 25/08/2023 - 10:51

      If you think it's such a great deal, then get off your ass and bloody well give this post a positive vote to show OP you appreciate their effort in publishing this.

      • 10101010101 on 25/08/2023 - 20:01

        I would but the mods banned me from voting. Obviously on a power trip

        • snuke on 25/08/2023 - 21:02

          What the hell did you do?

    • Lysxz on 25/08/2023 - 11:43

      Consider this: Both are true.

      These are absolutely junk quality tools but they are also great value for someone who has no need for quality in their tools.

  • pointless martyr on 25/08/2023 - 09:46

    had this set for 5+ years - stil goes well, i use it more than average person i'd reckon …pretty sure i paid $50 too so this deal actually beats inflation!

  • hongas on 25/08/2023 - 10:49

    Are these batteries interchangeable with other brands? with adapter?

    • sn809 on 25/08/2023 - 20:29

      yes, specially if you have a friend who can 3D print you one.

  • pinchies on 27/08/2023 - 02:55

    I'd rather lend my tools to a friend than see them buy this kit. Money badly spent.

  • fez5stars on 29/08/2023 - 11:10

    I brought one of this products from Bunnings a few years back for $14 dollars. I thought it would be junk, but I am still usually it 2 years later for small home renos etc. Reliable and still going strong. Would be a nice Father's day gift.
