    Time to head to bunnings

    • +1

      Assume bunnings might do Ozito deals

      • -4

        now let's see what paul allen has

      • -5

        Does bunnings price match ozito chainsaw with this? If yes, can you mention price and link to the model pls. Thanks. Waiting for a chainsaw deal for ages now. Guessing the ozito is better quality than this especially with longer replacement warranty?

    • +3

      Looking forward to @revheadgl Ozito bargain roundup

      • +2

        Haha, appreciate the comment. I didn't give you an upvote though, that would just be weird:) A bit like giving yourself a pat on the back. lol.

        Plus I am usually too slow with the Aldi price matching deals anyway!

  • +5

    Upvoted for effort :)

  • Waiting on Bunnos..

  • See, not too long of a wait for those who were tempted to get non-brushless, non-hammer drill-driver type of hardware

    • Is it any good though? I’d be happy to pay $100 just for a ferrex brushless hammer drill, if it was as good/better than the ozito offering. This one seems underpowered

      • +1

        damn that price is good for the hammer drill and impact driver! i swear it used to be about nearly double that. i wonder if they've cheaped out on something. the specs seem the same 50Nm and 200Nm. appears to be a metal chuck

      • The trouble with sinking money in to the Ferrex ecosystem is you can't buy tools or batteries whenever you want. If something fails you can't get a replacement which can leave you with a working battery/charger and no tool, or a working tool bricked due to a bad charger or battery.

        IMHO best to go with Ozito at minimum or an ecosystem where you can actually get things when you need them instead of waiting a year lol.

    Nice. Hopes Bunnings price matches. Finally started my new Ozito collection.

        Wait and find out man. Not like its going to need some secret code. Bunnings will have a competitive response for whatever they decide, we find out when/if prices drop.

      • +1

        Bunnings may change their prices for equivalent Ozito tools. Check Bunnings pricing after the Aldi sale starts.

      • They probably wont do the mini chainsaw as the Ozito one is brushless

        • is brushless more powerful?

          e.g. impact driver brushless can produce more torque to drive a screw in compared to the cheaper brushed model?

          I got an aldi impact driver (it is not brushless) but can't get it to drive in screw without drilling a hole first
          so wonder if the brushless can do this without needing drill hole first

  • Those mini chainsaws any good?

    • great! i have the aldi one, used it for quite a while now and it is still going. the plastic body is quite solid. i bought a cheapo off banggood prior to that and the motor promptly overheated.

      the only downside is a replacement chain doesn't seem to be available on aliexpress (i think that is also the case for the ozito one). the best solution i've been considering is just swapping the bar and chain to one of the generic ones found on aliexpress. i just need to find my old banggood one to confirm whether the swap will work.

  • Man they are some cheap skins! I hardly use my corded grinder & jigsaw… but $30… pity there’s no reciprocating saw

    • +2

      pity there’s no reciprocating saw

      ALDI's/Ferrex reciprocating saw are usually available around May.

  • Line trimmer any good any one?

    • aldi sell a 5-in-1 2x20V kit skin for about $229. line, blade, pole saw, hedger and edger. might be better value unless you don't need all those extra attachments

  • +2

    I really want them to release a scarifier so Bunnings drops the price of the Ozito one!

    • Brought the $199 one, pretty gutless , better off getting the 36v one, weighing up whether to return it , did 3 passes and still cant clear all the thatch.
      Just bite the bullet and get the ozito, dont think aldi will do a scarifier anytime soon, they will think its a pretty niche product and not enough sales.

    • is ozito better than aldi scarifier and other tools under ferrex brand?

  • Do we know if Ferrex are interchangeable with any of the other random brands? Obviously not DeWalt, Milwaukee etc

    • +1

      I know ALDI's Ferrex are interchangeable with Autobarn's GT Garage Tough/PowerG.

      • Can confirm this is the case

        • previously they were compatible with the red 20V powerg tools autobarn was clearing out. those skins were absolute bargains. i'm unsure about the current tools

          • @c64: Yep I managed to grab some at the time. Flood lights, heat gun, impact wrench and inflator (the high pressure part overheated so no real use after that)

  • Where does one get the batteries for these??

  • Just get the Stihl pruners - costs more but they are worlds apart in performance.

  • i love these aldi deals because ozito answers back and i buy tools for cheap.

    • Agreed, need to buy a few!
