Smaller than 18V, these 12V tools are good for small jobs.
Tools come with 12V 2.5Ah battery and charger.

That was me and now I'm seething with rage.
If it's too good to be true, it probably is. :)
Done, thanks!
I have the drill and driver, they are a great inside the house kit.
Shame they don’t have a 3/8 ratchet wrench for that price.
Also the multitool is brushless according to Hikoki. I have seen a few incorrect descriptions on the TKD website before. https://hikokipowertools.com.au/media/3112/hikoki_product-ca…
And the hammer drill kit is incorrectly called an impact driver drill kit. This to be fair is what Hikoki call it, so not really TKD's fault.
Is Hikoki better than Ozito?
Yes. But you’re probably better off with Ozito 18v if you’re asking
It is better, but way more expensive. Hikoki is more a pro brand like Milwaukee, Dewalt, Makita etc
For just general around the house stuff, the Ozito 18V line is well and truly capable. There are frequent deals on the tools and batteries, 5yr replacement warranty on tools and 3 on batteries etc.
I see so little value in these 12v systems, including Makita and DeWalt 12v. the battery pack is square and not much smaller than 18v and you're getting a generally less powerful, smaller ecosystem. the hikoki 12v tools range is tiny. at least Milwaukee has a huge range of 12v tools and have slimmer bar batteries.
I used to think the same. Then I had to do a bunch of cabinetry work in really tight spaces - now I prefer the 12v stuff and will reach for it first time every time. And only pull out the 18V gear when I’m doing something that needs more power.
Have just bought all 3x of these Hikoki tools to try out - never owned Hikoki stuff previously.
Have to disagree with you on that. I have used both Milwaukee 12V then Makita 12V for work for over a decade. No longer working, but still have all my Makita stuff and still happily using them.
The slide packs that Makita, Dewalt etc are way smaller than 18V packs. The stem style packs that Milwaukee use have 3 cells in the stem and that makes for a fairly fat grip on most of their tools. Which just doesn't feel as comfortable compared to tools that use slide packs.
Besides that, the M12 stuff is great. Only swapped to Makita as I liked a couple of their tools better and it was cost effective to do so at the time.
The 12V tools are lighter and have enough power for 95% of stuff I need to do. I have 18V tools as well but nearly always grab the 12V. Except when I don't have a 12V version.

For the record I didn't neg you. You are entitled to your opinion and that's ok with me:)
alright you have all convinced me to try these out to see what i was missing so i bought all three of them. happy to report they are very nice tools, small and with plenty of power. i take back what i said about the 12v system, for the price (94 dollars if you have powerpass) and considering you get a battery and charger they are a great buy. yes the battery is significantly smaller than 18v equivalent and the square format means the handle is slim.
if you can find this in stock, the 12v rotary hammer might also be good too. 1.2j per hammer blow so not the strongest but pretty light.

however, what is weird is that the entire Hikoki 12v line is missing from the Hikoki Australia website and warranty registration for the 6 year warranty doesnt list any of them as pre-filled model.
Awesome, just in time to replace my 10.8V Dewalt gear that's pushing 10 years old, of my 3 batteries only one still works.
real men use ozito
Multi tool OOS
All three tools are back in stock.
Update on this, as I’ve bought all three and had a chance to test them all out thoroughly today.
Impact - awesome, very impressed. Nicely balanced. Very compact and feels good in hand. Different modes do actually work. Heaps of power on the highest setting - possibly as much as my 18v makita brushless impact.
Multi tool - awesome, comes with a few Hikoki brand blades and sanding pads which I had not expected. Plenty of power, but not as vibration free as my makita 18v brushless Starlock multi.
Drill - pretty ordinary, not a fan. very unbalanced in the hand (too front heavy, even before you put a drill bit in it. Also the trigger just randomly doesn’t work until you release and try again. Sometimes three times in a row. I’m sending this one back for a refund.
you got a defective unit with the drill, mine doesn't do that but it is a little front heavy. considering though that its very light anyway i dont consider it a big problem. it seems have the claimed power though.
Suggest changing the title a bit eg; otherwise some people will expect all 3 for $99.
