This seems like a very good deal, since the grinder costs $199 by itself. The batteries by themselves are $115 each.
I just bought this and the grinder is added in the cart for $0. So no stuffing around claiming this from Bosch.

How is this for $199 + angle grinder worse than a Dremel?
Previous deal was these 3 tools and an additional dremel, for $249.
For a brief day or two, you could get 4 tools and $50 worth of points for $249.
Now that was a good deal.hmm i got the previous deals but I didn't get any points. i ordered online is that why
@Rillanon: I had a recent experience. I ordered from Sydney Tools for Click and Collect. Points didn't show up on my web after, but I was able to use to points in store.
Call a store and ask to check your balance.
@ChiefAJ: I called and was told that items on price drop are not eligible for points. Not sure if true or not will email them to find out
@Rillanon: The point offer only ran for a day, I’ve already made my purchase prior so was no good for me either as Sydney Tools doesn’t do change of mind refund.
I know it worked with this combo because when added to cart online (with another small item to push it over $250), it shows that I’d earn $50 point for the order. This was rare as promotion stuff is normally excluded from point offers.
Sure enough the next round of point offer (a week or 2 later) this was excluded.
Just received my grinder from that deal. Was gonna sell it, but now I kind want to keep the whole lot lol
have seen this deal for a few times now - wouldn't 12v be too underpowered for these tools?
No.
Tools generally come in 12v, 18v, and 36v - you won't be working on a giant Excavator with a 12v tool, nor will you be building Ikea furniture with your 36v tools.
These are small, light, and perfect for small jobs.Also the 12V is cuter and the drills and stuff with 2Ah battery you can pretend are guns.
This guy gets it.
Careful - Minns might have these reclassified too
got it. so these would be fine for drilling an occasional hole on the wall, or cut a pvc pipe/ tree branches?
no buy 18V for those (where structure/sturdiness matters)
For brick/concrete or large holes in wood you're better off with wired one
@High: Not really anymore especially with 54v or 40v tools. SDS plus battery tools are as good or better, for bigger SDS max tools yeah it probably makes sense to use a cheaper wired version as the cordless equivalents are $$$ and they need 12ah+ batteries to get any work done
got it. so these would be fine for drilling an occasional hole on the wall,
@homerc Yes if it's into wood.
If you want to drill brick or concrete then buy a corded mains powered SDS rotary hammer drill - they're under $100 and make any masonry job super easy.
or cut a pvc pipe/ tree branches?
No, an angle grinder is for cutting metal.
For plastic and tree branches you need a reciprocating saw.
I'm yet to encounter a scenario where 18v is too much and I wish I had smaller 12v tools, 18v works fine for everything domestic from car, building a shed, assembling a PC, etc…
From what I can tell, the only advantage of 12v is saving money if you don't ever need 18v, i.e. you're only doing light work.That said I do use 2Ah 18v batteries on drills/drivers/grinders often, rarely need the extra time to make it worth lugging a 4/5Ah battery around.
Usually it’s a space saving and/or weight issue. Holding a 12v above your head for example is miles easier on your body. Similarly lugging around on your tool belt or working on ladders etc it’s just way easier. Plus it lets you get into much tighter spaces without the need for special adapters (adding even more bulk).
I think ‘saving money’ is pretty much the last reason anyone would go for these 12v tools over 18v. After all, you can buy Ozito 18v cheaper 😂
@Yekul: Working under sinks, or other tight spaces. Perfect for small and quick tasks. It's why M12 Milwaukee is so popular. Powerful 12V tools that are tiny and easy to use in crawl spaces. That 4 piece deal would have been perfect 👌

Yeah, I mean when a deal pitch relies on $100+ price for just 12V batteries I personally put that in the same bucket as quoting RRP on say Ozito batteries.
i too love to secure my motherboard screws with an impact
I do a lot of electrical/electronics work.
Controllers, Network Equipment, Gate Motors, tracking, Roller Door Servicing and automationAs part of my daily kit I carry a 12v Impact.
It fits in locations where my 18v doesn’t fit and does the same job fine, admittedly gate track installs are a fair bit easier with the 18v, I’ve also had situations where I’ve only had my 12v on hand and no issues doing any of the work.I primarily got it for weight and size.
Considering I’m carrying around a massive bag with heavy laptop and other tools/test equipment the lighter something is, the better.I've got a couple of cabinet maker friends who use 95% 12v tools on site exception being the occasional need for 18V table saw. I can imagine it will make a difference at the end of a long day and any measures that can prolong your productive working life would be a good (high yield LOL) investment
100% Correct.
I grew up using shitting 12V tools my dad owned (NiCad/NiMH batteries) and had that negative opinion too but these ones are far superior.
I have a milwaukee 12V set and use that drill way more frequently than my 36V Hikoki multivolt drill.
The weight and power of 12V units is good enough for most timber / soft material tasks.
12v battery is underpowered for the grinder, it's good enough for the other tools.
It's fine for certain use cases. I was running around installing shelves and drilling holes and anchors yesterday and use this combo and it was amazing, might easier to handle and carry compare to the ozito 18v
But then I wanted to install some hex screws into studs for a bike rack and the 12v impact struggled while ozitov 18v did the job
If you shop using your Westpac Credit Card, you may have a Total Tools offer, $10 cashback
when you spend $100 or more. Check your Westpac Rewards offers.It's hard to get the correct grinding discs btw, need to make sure it's a 10mm inner diameter not 9.8mm - double check those figures.
Otherwise this is a great kit, it's thicker though. There's a makia 12v kit which is nicer if you have smaller hands and much better balanced because it's makita.
I have the 18v green Bosch tools and I ended up buying 18v Makita later on and I use the tools for occasional home repairs and improvements, also building a deck in my backyard. If you are planning to do any serious work get something proper and don’t waste your money
This 12v set appears to be the blue line
Not the same. This is good kit but personally I’d spend a little more and buy brushless when it is on special.
brushless 18V is ideal
Apples and oranges. The next step up would be the Milwaukee M12s
Don't forget, these are much lighter than 18v tools so when building IKEA stuff etc it's really handy to have the lesser weight. Also when you are in tight spots and when working overhead.
Exactly, and smaller too if you don’t have big hands. They are not that much lighter than the Milwaukee 18v though.
I had this set with the intent on using it for work (electrician). It lacked any sort of grunt. I sold it on and instead purchased a Milwaukee 12v kit from that 20% off deal. While double the price, it is vastly superior.
This kit would be great for a home handyman but probably not much else.
I have many Bosch 18v and 12v and bought this kit getting the Sydney tools deal. Then sold what I’ve already got as a way to replenish batteries.
Sure the power of the 18v is significantly greater but the small tools are useful for me in smaller spaces or where torque requirements are lower. like in caravans, cabinetry. The basic drill/driver is excellent , but also in bigger applications for say drilling pilot holes where I then use the bigger tools to do the heavy lifting.
12v tools have specific use cases and the small form factor certainly makes them easy to use. I especially love the 3/8 ratchet and the multi tool as a plunge saw.
I have this drill & drive kit (but not the grinder) plus the 12v circular saw: https://www.totaltools.com.au/133700-bosch-saw-circular-85mm…
I absolutely love these and are my go-to when 18v tools aren't necessarily (which, around the house, is most of the time). Being quite a bit lighter and smaller than my 18v suite is excellent especially for jobs where I'd be holding them above my head or many repetitive tasks.
For basic woodwork with thin materials like 9/12mm plywood, the circular saw is amazing and so light. Sure I've got my larger circular saws but if I don't need to cut something as thick, I'll grab this thing first every time.
Having said all that - I'd still get an 18v kit (that has a wider range of accessories) before I'd get this 12v kit. This is a great addition to a tool kit, but not the first tools you should get.
I have two drills, one brushless and one brushed. One drill uses the different attachments such as chuck, hex driver or angle adapter. Also have the saw which is great and the grinder which is fantastic for small jobs. These are used much more than and 18V I have.
Great set for basic homeowner work.
2ah battery and brushed tools are going to be very weak, but will do the job reliably.
What's everyone's preferred brand for a 12v range and why?
Curious to know as I've seen some really die-hard fans of certain brands who won't touch another brand ever.Milwaukee is the most popular, arguably the best, but costly.
Bosch Blue is good, cheap and has a great warranty.
DeWalt has more conventional handle/ battery design, so is better for people with smaller hands.
ToolPro (SuperCheapAuto) is often on sale - similar form factor to Bosch/Milwaukee
Just got Bunnings to price beat it to $179 in store.
Did you get free grinder
Yes, I’ve already lodged the claim with Bosch.
Was just looking at the T&Cs on the Bosch site, and it says valid for purchases between 17 Nov - 1 Dec 2025. Does anyone have experience claiming after the promo period has ended? How strict are they on purchase dates?
these 12v tools with this type of battery are common in different brands around the world , i suspect they are a rebadged generic tool
Example at sca: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/toolpro-toolpro-12v-dril…
edit: nonetheless i have a set of 4 tools for couple of years and they have been pretty good
Hey ozb-plshelpmywallet, interesting stuff! Which set do you have, the Bosch or the ToolPro? Can you point me at these other rebadged generics around the world?
These 12V ToolPro look suspiciously identical to the 12V Bosch. Does anyone own both sets to compare?
Similar price without the badge-cost and bundle/bonus deals with other stores. Has anyone investigated further?I'm surprised Bosch would dilute their Blue brand, rebadging generics, in a market with Milwaukee 12V?
The batteries look only slightly incompatible (as you would expect), a different cover/shroud while looking eerily similar.
Anyone know any more details?..ToolPro. Waited until one by one came on special now have drill, polisher, dremel, etc and pretty good.
yep battery seems nearly identical
ozb-plshelpmywallet, cool discovery, thanks for sharing!
Awesome job, this is interesting. Even Chinese replicas can be as good these days.
I can't see a Dremel-style rotary tool from ToolPro… Any pointers ozb-plshelpmywallet?
I see the right-angle die grinder and the cut-off tool, which both look great if that's one you use?
ozb-plshelpmywallet, what country of manufacture is each of your tools from ToolPro??The impact drivers quick release do look possibly different to Bosch, and maybe the drill chuck clamp area, but the upgrade brushless models look close.
At the same price point, they must be pretty good. Bosch-made and rebadged would be super cool to find out, even if basic internals are the same.
Accessing rebadged Bosch tools and find out if they are from the same factory, or partly.
AFAIK the Bosch 12V drills are made in Malaysia, the so called "angle grinder" is German made and the Dremel style GRO is made in China…sorry cant see it there now , must have discontinued it , but i bought it a couple if yrs ago
How do i bring this overseas? Anyone has experience?
Do you mean as in take them on a flight? I brought some battery powered tools on an Emirates flight to Europe and it was no problem. I called them up and checked first and they said as long as they are in your check-in luggage and that the batteries are installed in the tool (not loose) it is fine.
Thanks for the info. I'll be flying with Qantas, is there a limit of the battery size. I'm thingking of bringing 2x 18v 4.0AH battery installed in the tools.
Not quite as good as the previous deal at Sydney Tools where you got this + a rotary tool for $250 after redemption, but still a good deal none the less. I do like the smaller 76mm grinder, so much easier to control than a big 185mm when trying to do straight cuts.
