This is Bunnings standard pricing, BUT an unbelievable deal, read on!…

I found this Ozito 12v Lithium Ion Multi-Tool while walking the isle, for $89.
http://www.bunnings.com.au/products_product_12v-liion-multi-…

I walked to the next isle over, and noticed the Ozito 12v Lithium Ion Drill/Driver, for $69.
http://www.bunnings.com.au/products_product_drill-cordless-d…

THEN, the next isle over, BOTH of the above items, in ONE PACK for only $75!
http://www.bunnings.com.au/products_product_drill-multi-kit-…

Both included in the pack for ONLY $75!

So somehow, the logic being, you get the multi-tool, PLUS the drill for $14 LESS than it would cost you to purchase JUST the multi-tool on its own!

How this makes any sense, I have no idea! But THAT is the deal, and its the normal price, no specials, straight off the shelf.

I obviously purchased the pack, but almost got caught out by just purchasing the multi-tool on its own.

(Only my 2nd deal post, hopefully you all find value in this as I did)

    Nice deal. I hope the reliability is okay. I had an Ozito leaf blower which stopped operating after 3 times usage. But Bunnings gave me a full refund, so I was okay with it. My Ozito corded drill works fine, though.

    Its a good deal. Why is it less? Only one charger probably… Also the drill and multitool prob come with two batteries each.

      No, I confirmed the Multi-tool comes with only 1 battery, but the drill does come with 2 in its individual pack. Either way, an additional battery still doesnt justify the package vs individual pricing.
      The pack comes with 2 batteries. Thanks.

    Sorry don't know much about drills, but is a 12Volt one decent compared to a higher voltage one?

      Good for small handyman jobs. For big jobs or working all day forget it

      Voltage isn't really that important, quality is. I've got an old 12v Panasonic lying about at work which is still very good.

    • deal88 on 01/02/2013 - 10:55

      Unfortunately voltage means nothing. My 10.8V Bosch drill is better than my 20v no name drill. Lithium Ion batteries are usually a good sign.

    WARNING Ozito multi tool is garbage. bought one the other day, returned it the next. when you cut a 5mm ply wood the wood would start to smoke up. when you sand some plaster the sand paper rips off the Velcro base with the backing turning into fluff.

    • Mike_Mav on 31/01/2013 - 23:21

      Agreed. It's garbage exclusively made for Bunnings.

    • [Deactivated] on 01/02/2013 - 15:22

      Agree. As an aside, an old time tradie friend told me that the name brand power tools bought in the larger warehouse shops like Bunnings are of a "different" build quality to the same name brand bought from a real power shop tool. But then, I am old enough to remember that the only power tool brand to buy was Black and Decker.

      Don't get me wrong; I love going to Bunnings. They got all this stuff that I didn't know I needed :D

      • r3volt on 01/02/2013 - 19:52

        They are exactly the same "quality" but generally a slightly different build aimed towards handymen. Here's an example of the saw i recently bought.

        At Bunnings Makita LS1017L $399

        http://www.bunnings.com.au/products_product_makita-255mm-sli…

        At Tradetools Makita LS1018L $459

        http://www.tradetools.com/Products/LS1018L

        Looking at both you see an identical product with a slightly different model number which most people wouldn't even notice. Except the model at Bunnings only has a 5 degree right hand bevel compared with the other which is a full 45 degree. I almost got caught out buying the one at Bunnings thinking it was exactly the same model but $60 cheaper.

    There is a 3 tool set with the cordless driver (http://www.bunnings.com.au/products_product_ozito-12v-cordle…)as well as these two for total $99.

    Nice find but drills are something you shouldn't really go cheap on, specially when they're 12v (gutless)… unless of course you only use it once off, before it breaks.

    • deal88 on 01/02/2013 - 11:17
      +1

      I agree, don't go cheap on drills. But don't judge drills by their voltage. I have many drills ranging from 10.8v up to 20volts.

      The 10.8 volt drills and drivers I have are Bosch blue and are similar in size to these Ozitos (but about $200 each)and will break a bolt in half if you are not careful. These 10.8volts are not gutless.
      http://www.sydneytools.com.au/shopexd.asp?id=16117&bc=no

      But absolutely worth every cent.
      If you use this stuff a lot, it is worth paying for quality.

    The multitool is absolute crap - the little nubs that hold the tool in place broke off within 5 minutes on ours, so it went back, and they commented that they had had a few returns.

    The drill, on the other hand does the job it was designed to do very well.

      • lonertic on 04/02/2013 - 00:11

        Very helpful advice.. I almost bought the Ozito multi on its own last week… This pack only appealed to me cos the drill is essentially free since the pack is cheaper than the multi on its own, and I was gonna give the drill to my dad as a spare since I already have a Ryobi! But I was skeptical about the quality of the multi which is why I havent bought it and looks like I won't either. How're you finding the Ryobi multi? It's a pain for me cos I got the Ryobi 14.4v drill and the multi only comes in 18v, and batteries not included so I'll need to buy multi+battery for around $140 total if I remember correctly…

  • hoxygt on 01/02/2013 - 09:24

  • Cluster on 01/02/2013 - 10:25

    I've been using an Ozito 14.4v Li-ion drill for almost a year. Great little drill. Stick it on the 19 torque setting and it'll drill anything, even solid Jarrah. Over two years to go on the replacement warranty. Not bad for a $59 product.

  • Sydster on 01/02/2013 - 13:44

    As per Bunnings this is a one off special and they will not be restocking.
    My only concern here is these are cordless tools, means you have to have the battery charged to use it. If it was corded it can be used any time you need it..
    Also when you have a drill and you only need the multifunction tool, maybe buying the tool alone with many accessories vs 6 accessories be better option?
    Its Pub time/liquid gold time and I'm still thinking about this :-)

      My only concern here is these are cordless tools, means you have to have the battery charged to use it. If it was corded it can be used any time you need it..

      That is EXACTLY why Lithium Ion batteries are so good. The batteries have very slow self-discharge, so they almost always will work even if in storage for many months.

      For example, I dragged out a Bluetooth device yesterday that has been in storage for about 2 years, and it still had plenty of power.

      • [Deactivated] on 05/02/2013 - 21:40

        I think anybody who buys an old battery tech rechargeable tool at this point where there is a lithium ion equivalent for not much more is really very silly. Nickel cadmium (bizarrely still around) and standard nickel metal hydride batts lose charge at a rate of about 30% per month. Lithium ion - 2% per YEAR!
        Also, relative to capacity, the batteries are about 30% lighter. Not to be sneezed at.

        • abacus on 10/02/2013 - 18:13

          I would like to know which battery will last longer until it cannot be recharged at all ie life span of battery. My old NiCd batteries are about 8 years old now and still working.

        • [Deactivated] on 10/02/2013 - 21:24

          In a practical sense there isn't much to separate the three types as far 'potential' lifespan is concerned. The determining lifespan factors are primarily charge rate (the faster the charge, the shorter the ultimate battery life), and not having discharged the battery to a damaging level prior to charging.
          Again in a practical sense, with most tool batteries be charged at the 3 hour rate or faster, by the 200 cycle mark you should well and truly have noticed that the battery isn't performing as well as it once was. Same applies to mobile phone batteries.
          One of the advantages in the transition to lithium batteries for tools is that - as far as I know - none of them will allow you flatten the battery below a critical level, and all of them are pretty sophisticated on the charge-control side. Neither of those things could be said about a lot of older tools and chargers.

  • Jackson on 03/02/2013 - 16:04

    The 2 rules of tools that I was told long ago are

    1. Buy the exact tool you need
    2. Cheaper is not necessarily better, but neither is more expensive necessarily better

    I realised after many years of putting up with NiCd batteries that for home handyman jobs you often don't need cordless, just get a corded one and forget about the hassles of charging, finding the battery dead just when you need it, having an underpowered tool, having the battery go after a year or 2 and needing to buy a new one that costs more than the original kit, having the charger die or losing it.

    I understand that some of the above issues are resolved with LiOn batteries and being organized, but if you are a home handyman you will often not be as organized as with your main profession.

    the corded 12v Ozito drill is 30 bucks and does the job, will go all day at full power, will never be obsolete due to a dead battery and I've had one for 2 years and there hasn't been a job come up for me in that time I needed a cordless one.

    • lonertic on 04/02/2013 - 00:23

      Slightly off topic but if u get a cordless with 2 batteries then u really don't have an issue coz u just charge it when one battery dies while u use the other. And with the Li-ion batteries these days, their shelf life is just amazing.. I've had my drill packed away for over a year.. Took it out of the bag and went straight to drilling holes in hard ceramic tiles without charging, no sweat!

      • Jackson on 09/02/2013 - 00:01

        This is true, and if you are only doing handy jobs that use the drill for a few minutes at a time then you probably won't need to upgrade batteries as often as a tradie. However with the battery less option I really expect this to last a lifetime. I still use my fathers 25 year old hammer drill, and while its starting to wear it still works quite admirably, although he may have changed the brushes at some point. There's no way you can get more than 7 years out of a battery and you'd be luck if you can still get them at that point

    • deal88 on 04/02/2013 - 07:21

      Building ikea furniture is where these battery drills are handy. I would not try that with a corded drill, also quicker than manual.

      • Jackson on 08/02/2013 - 23:53

        The corded drill does have both a variable speed trigger and a clutch drive setting to make sure you don't strip screws or overdrive them, so really it is ideal. its actually quite identical to a 12v battery drill apart from the lack of battery

  • Herbse on 27/02/2013 - 12:30

    NOTE Re: REPLACEMENT BATTERIES

    Over the years these have proven great little tools, so I'm digging up this old thread to add a note for anyone having trouble with their batteries.

    The impact driver is incredible. Multi-tool is awful and far too loud, but compact and nonetheless handy. Drill driver is fine. It is a little too easy to work the batteries too hard, as they are only small so big jobs can see them getting quite hot where larger tools/batteries don't get so hot so fast.

    You will know when your battery is dead as it will not charge in the charger, it will last less and less long between charges. The less you overheat the batteries, the longer they last. If you overdo it, the tools can overheat too. Best to have a few spare batteries, and avoid charging them without enough time to cool off first.

    Anyhow when the batteries eventually wear out as they no doubt have by now, you might get stuck trying to source replacements (Bunnings don't do them), let alone rebuild packs to suit.

    But now you're in luck, as I figured out how to sort it out and will share how you too can retrofit 3 new 3.7V cells very successfully in 30mins or so:

    Obligatory warning: This can be dangerous. Batteries can explode horribly and burn you like a firework and even burn down your house. Do this outside, away from things that can burn. See vids on youtu.be showing exploding LiIon batteries if you are not familiar. Do it on concrete/non-conductive surface. Wear eye protection. Be careful with the wires. Make sure there is no chance of a short. If you have not done this before, consider getting someone qualified in electronics repairs to do it safely instead.

    It requires some fiddling but all you do is remove the 2 screws at the end, de-solder the old battery pack from the PCB (you need to do this to the newly purchased and old battery), and then solder the new one to the Ozito PCB. The wires are a little different, but the new ones will reach in a new route. Carefully re-install with the padding so each cell will be nice and snug with no chance of a short, and so that everything slides back in the same position. Tip: Note how high the PCB sits on the old battery, (ie. with just the end cover removed) before you start.

    Tip: Removing the new cells from the new Milwaukee pack is hard as they don't use screws, you have to release the three little tabs around the middle with something sharp (and some care)

    I added some heatsink compound to the thermistors once it was soldered, to ensure the two thermistors collect the heat reading from all 3 batteries properly, not just one or two depending on how they sit beside the cell. This way the new cells will last longer.

    You just need to buy the little red Milwaukee packs, search for 'Milwaukee 2.0AH 12V Ion' packs and be handy with a soldering iron, and careful NOT to let anything short! They were under $20 posted IIRC.

    Here's a link to two: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2x-2-0AH-12V-Li-ion-Battery-For-…
