90th?
I don't think there were than many on the shelf.
It was probably around the 20th one.
Hope she finds a 6¼" Chainsaw is large enough for her.
Can it cut big branch I am wondering
How big we talking?
I used the Ozito brushless recip saw with the stock blade and smashed through a mature guava tree in no time. This should be even better I’d imagine.
Yeah I was just wondering whether I should return my unopened Recip Saw and buy this instead. I have two trees and eventually will need to saw some branches.
Chainsaw is a bit faster but I'd say stay with the recip. Its more convenient, far easier to just chuck a new blade on and safer as well.
I've cut up plenty of trees with it despite also having a chainsaw. I even do the lawn edging with it.
@Duff5000: The mini chainsaw is far easier to use on smaller branches or stuff that is hard to hold. The chainsaw will just slide right through it whereas the recip will shake violently. Having used both I would take the chainsaw most times.
@TRRR: As long as you put the stop up against the branch it shouldn't shake much. Blade makes a difference though. Pruning blades cut on the back and forward stroke so make vibration worse, an aggressive wood cutting or demolition blade should only pull the branch into the stop.
I have a couple of chainsaws and a couple of recips Used both plenty. The user above it talking about keeping one or the other, it's not that I think chainsaws are bad. If I had to chose only one I'd take the recip. Ideally you would have both.
Yep the chain is quicker, but it has a bunch of downsides compared to the recip if you only have one tool:
Bar oil is annoying.
Hit the dirt and the chains probably wrecked.
Chain path gets clogged up every so often.
Hit some unexpected metal and the chains wrecked.
If you need a new chains it an odd size and a reasonable chunk of the price paid for the saw in the first place.
@TRRR: Ozito do make a recip pruning saw with clamping jaw, but it's pricey for what you get. I wish they would make a clamp attachment for their brushless recip saw.
@Abaddon: Any old crap blade. I just used the bluntest rubbish blade I have on hand, its only grass. Shove it in against the concrete edge and go for it. Works great.
I've used an Ozito recipro-saw for years on small trees, but then I bought the Aliexpress 6" chainsaw two years ago. The recipro just gathers dust now, these small chainsaws are ten times faster and gets more cut on one battery. Yes you can cut 6" diameter branches but it excels on green wood from 2cm to 10cm. Chains and bars are dirt cheap online, some now have a manual oiler.
of course, limited by bar length
If bar length is your limit, you can cut a thick branch 2x the bar length
Yup. I think that is the key, the length
Story of my life
Entirely doekndsntn9j your definition of big branch?
I have one and but did not cut anything big. Can imagine by the size, should only cut up to an about 30 cm. I think there’s another longer one on sale if need to grab one.
Aldi has their pruning saw at $50
And 20v vs 18v.
I got the lawnmower from them last year and it's been great, might need to line up next Saturday morning to get the saw as well.
There’s no difference in real voltage between “18V” and “20V”
I bought the aldi one, plus battery and charger 6 months ago. Great for thick palm fronds.
Thanks, good to know. Not as simple as "slightly bigger number = better"!
@mangobango: There's exactly no difference besides the marketing label of 18 vs 20. Battery cell configuration is identical to other 18v tool batteries.
@tap: Fair enough, even slightly more I would've thought it meant slightly more powerful.
Especially they are practically the same then aldi being $40 cheaper is pretty compelling.
@mangobango: Still need to buy the Ferrex battery separately which works out to be another $50 for the cheaper one
@mangobango: 18v is the standard way to rate 5 cells in series at 3.6v per cell. Then some brands started saying "20v max" for the exact same batteries because technically a 3.6v cell will test at 4v when fully charged and not running any load. 5 cells X 4v is 20v ('max').
Then other brands started just running with 20v dropping the 'max'. Its pretty deceptive.
As the user above said 18v and 20v are the same thing.
Buy these 2 for $108.98: 0594438 - Ozito PXC 18V 160mm 6¼” Brushless Pruning Chainsaw PXBPCS-1815 ($89.00) and Ozito PXC 18V 2.5Ah Battery and Charger PXBC-25B ($19.98)
I don't think there are any of $20 2.5ah battery kits anymore, they are usually a limited time deal,.Hopefully they will have them again in the future again though.
They are 2 separate items. That was my point. It's cheaper to buy 2 separate items than the kit in any event. Cheers
Yes they do:
I found this product at Bunnings Warehouse you may like: Ozito PXC 18V 2.5Ah Battery and Charger PXBC-25B - Kit https://bunnings.com.au/applinks_p0501102?source=product_sha…
Yeah, looks like they have restocked, when I looked a week or two ago, there weren't any nearby to me.
This is the way
Solid deal for the brushless, comes in handy with woody branches
pity it doesn't have some some of wrap around hand protection like the aldi one. this one is brushless though.
Apart from the odd 160mm 6¼” bar and chain, this is the most surprising Ozito tool worth it's weight in gold and the Bunnings reviews confirm so. Paid for itself in one day.
the odd chain size is so they can charge you $30 for a replacement chain
I just threw my 2 stroke $85 ebay chainsaw in the bin. Cracked it after 30 minutes trying to get the bloody thing to start. I smashed it on the concrete in rage. Think I'll get one of these thanks op
i'd happily take it off you if you don't want it!!
After he smashed it into the concrete?
Sure. Haha. If you know how chainsaws work, every part can be replaced
Thanks. Been looking at these recently so good timing. Figured they'd drop when the Aldi catalogue showed up with theirs.
Would this be any good for trimming vines on a wire trellis?
If not, could anyone recommend a good power tool for that?
I kind of imagine the recip saw would be better if the vines are too thick to cut with just pruners, but they’re prob not thick enough to let the chainsaw kind of bite into it
Yeah, sounds a bit dangerous using a chainsaw for vines unless they are taut.
Would defintiely avoid using this for that. You'd either immediately blunt the blade hitting wire or get it causd and lose a couple fingers potentially. Best using electric secatuers if you cant use regular ones.
Thanks for the reply!
- @Jimothy Wongingtons @BestTechAdvisor
Ughhh someone convince me this is wholly unnecessary when I have an actual electric chainsaw already.
It shouldn't take much convincing; it is entirely unnecessary to buy a worse version of something you already have.
exisiting
Yeah but is it brushless and do you want to be part of the Ozito ozbargain club
Yeah it's a 56V Ego saw and I already have a bunch of Ozito tools and batteries. This does seem to fit a nice niche to replace secateurs though
They’re different tools for different jobs. I use a mini chainsaw a lot for work, they’re good for clearing branches around objects where a regular chainsaw is too cumbersome.
It's one hand use. Lighter. You can climb trees with it.
I borrowed my neighbours chain saw and it's way too heavy for most branch cutting.
I have so many Ozito batteries so why not make use out of them
I really just want the Ozito 36V 356mm Chainsaw to go on sale for <$150 again. I'd grab that in an instant.
this is way more HANDY.
each has its own uses. the mini one will work one handed vs two handed for the big chainsaw
The 36v is surprisingly light, won't recommend it but it can definitely be used one handed
I have one of these and banged up the blade getting too close to the bolts on a light post I was trying to mow. Any better blades? The default ones weren't much to talk about to begin with
this is a chainsaw not a lawn mower
yep, mowing grass with a mini chainsaw can be tricky!
Too many ozito deals dammit
I couldn't help myself - best i could do is not give you the wendy's 'Sir' treatment
I own an olive grove with 2000 trees, this has replaced the need for a chainsaw almost entirely. Only pet peeve is that i wish it had an automatic bar oiler
Holy Olive Tree Grove, Batman!
Booooooo!
You are 3 weeks early…
Purchased one of these earlier in the year for my Trip home to Thailand paid $99 dollars.
Very good bit of kit. Really got a hammering from me and the mrs loved using it as well.Just ordered one for here. Thanks for the heads up
I have been researching the cheapies on line ,Temu,ebay,ect however my the bloke next door was using a one on his Palm trees underpowered compared to the Ozito.
Purchased one of these earlier in the year for my Trip home to Thailand paid $99 dollars.
I think I saw you in an episode of "Border Security: Australia's Front Line."
No sorry I was going into Bangkok with it NOT Australia. HaHa
Can someone share items to organise garage with so many ozito items
You could consider a community Tool Library.
Will check this out . Thanks
i just have a bunch of those cheapy SCA/bunnings garage shelves and screwed recycled wood panelling to the back of them and drove some screws into them to hold tools.
chucked some strip light up onto them for lighting.Ah good idea. But the how to secure the ones with bigger handles like say snipper
as in whipper snipper? or the shears? Long pole tools like pruners , rakes etc i was going to just repurpose a pallet and use that for storage of pole tools. maybe paint it in black or something.
@life is suffering: you can even get a bit fancy with it - and a good excuse to buy the recip saw (but probably more ideally a circ saw )
So what was the RRP??
$129
Just recently had to cut through some quiet thick roots, use the chainsaw (36v) but the chain became dull very quickly (probably due to cheap chain and the dirt) eneded up hacking through it with the reciprocal saw (brushed) with w 12inch blade. Was amazed as to how well it performed. The reciprocal saw is far more versatile as a tool.
Chains should never touch dirt. Learned through experience
damn it, why cant Ryobi have this…
as someone pretty deep in ryobi…its okay to have a few ozito tools too ;)
Ryobi to Ozito battery adapter, happy days
i can never find them when i go to bunnings, its like they are some magical being that disappears when i approach it.
Hm. Is this big enough for 4WD-ing? Still inexperienced.
u prob want a petrol chainsaw i reckon… unless you got a bunch of spares and a way to keep them charged.
Nice, but unfortunately has the chain tensioning screw. Why couldn't they have made it with side knob tensioning, like this has: https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-cordless-pruner-at…
Very good and powerful. 10X better than the Aldi one.
I need a new chain as I hit concrete by mistake.
Any suggestion?
Any link to Oregan chain?You can get three for $50 (almost half the unit price) on eBay.
They're an uncommon size but there's likely cheaper if you dig deeper.
10x better than the Aldi one
Can you explain more?
