Highly recommend Brushless Ozito drills; been using these for home diy+ for past 6 years without any issues
just really depends on use. for most people cheaper brushed is the best option for a diy'er that will only use it once or twice a year. at that rate you will never get to the piont where you need to change the carbon brushes. it beats using a hand tool anyday.
You might be right, but the extra power of some of the brushless ozito gear might come in handy even for sporadic DIY. Even if it's a tool I don't anticipate using much, I almost always spring the extra for brushless ozito.
Thanks for the heads up. Am looking to get the ozito nail gun. Any crystal ball predictions if the May sale will include this unit?
This is the one I am referring to: https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-18v-cordless-18ga-brad-fin…
What's your source/reason for expecting discounts on various skins in May?
Competing deals against Aldi's Ferrex/Xfinity or whatever brand they do. It's been a thing for several years.
For reference:
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/905755
$49 for the multi tool, what a deal!
Do you think there's much chance they'll discount leaf blowers and hedge trimmers?
Seems like they were on sale literally every month for ages, but they seem to have stopped these last two months…
If they have not fixed the brush holders (single brush) melting under virtually no load on that 115mm angle grinder, don't bother … they only last a very short time even if used carefully, exchanged mine twice then went & bought a Makita set.
.
NEVER again with the Ozito crap!
.
Out of a box set I purchaed the drill's chuck wobbles like an old drunk, the circular saw's guard jams every single time, the torch didn't last long, the only thing that was ok is the impact screw driver … & it has less torque than my 12v Brushed makita one.
Interesting how you get down voted for telling your story … listen twonks, no matter what your preferences are … that WAS my experience!~
Unless you can confirm the model still has the fault and is the same included model it's just noise. Even knowing how long ago is relivant. I read one post that said 10 years ago blah blah.
Secondly is the warranty which is generally 5 years new replacement or store credit.
This is regardless of price/quality/performance debates and ecosystem costs (batteries/consumables).
@Series4Episode10: And then there's the amount of this utter rubbish that ends up in landfill .. sister worked in the first Bunnings in NSW at Minchinbury after having worked for Hardware house as her first job after leaving school, and worked her way up to a district manager, after I said to her that Ozito was rubbish I was told the stories of the piles of the crap that ends up going back to Ozito, they don't refurb it, they process it so it's unrecoverable and throw it!
And then there's the amount of this utter rubbish that ends up in landfill
Drop in the bucket when looking at waste in construction…
Neighbour had half their kitchen ripped up incl. some slab after a pipe burst because nothing is designed to be maintainable. A friend had to rip out their bathroom and renovate after a pipe burst in their wall. A few disposable power tools which are mostly plastic and a bit of metal don't seem that big a deal to me.
In fact, a mate of mine is a tiler and switched from using nice gear to half his stuff being cheap ozito/ryobi since it gets messed up soon, nicked from the job site, etc, so often. He recons cheap disposable is the way to go unless it's a critical/niche tool.
@ssfps: IT says the stuff is sooo cheap they are able to accept the loses of returns … so you like landfill & care less for the environment? & find ways to excuse the crap ending in landfill because you're soo cheap & thoughtless that you buy it … good for you!
@Series4Episode10: 1) Australia has endless crap land it could use as landfill
2) We could have total recycling/use of all our general waste if we cared enough to
3) We could stop massively growing the population if we wanted less waste.
You've just been brainwashed to believe picking up litter and washing out your tomato tins is going to 'save the earth'.
My ozito brushless drill and impact drivers have been good, no issues in the last 2-3 years. Not as nice or powerful as the makita 18v gear I use sometimes, but well worth the saved $$ for occasional DIY use.
Never tried the brushed angle grinder though, only the brushless, which i've punished and still goes well.
Ozito quality is a bit random. Had a brushless rattle gun that started playing up not long after purchase, It wouldn't spin unless I pressed the trigger a few times, and it was intermittent. Went to store and got a replacement, but that replacement was a used tool, someone prob used it for a while and returned it. It worked though.
Same with the impact screw driver I had it that set, stood at the return counter & it would not display the fault, the guy at Bunnings says "If I can't see the fault I can't exchange it" took it home & it would do that … took it back & it wouldn't display the fault .. said to the guy before wandering off … "Do you think I like driving back & forth like an idiot" … kept pulling the trigger as I was walking out & it started the fault where it would run the stop while pulling the trigger, guy heard it & called me back.
My first bad experience with Ozito but sadly far from my last with that set! … NEVER again!
I was afraid this would happen so I recorded a video and showed it to them. I can imagine how annoying this must have been.
I don't think these issues are worth my time. I don't buy Ozito unless I see a killer deal.
Ryobi HP and DeWalt have been really good. I'm happy to pay a bit extra to get the piece of mind. Last Ryobi tool I bought was an orbital sander in the HP line, ran it for hours non stop and that thing just kept going.
@Leeroy Jenkins: Yeah … helped push me to have some self respect & choose a quality brand, I always had work tools to use but had been limited to when
I could take some of the stuff home on weekends … thought some cheap things could get me by … glad I did switch as I ended up with a property where I built a bunch of stuff & though I switched to Makita, the Ozito stuff that was still working continued to let me down or annoy me (the circular saws safety cover CONSTANTLY jamming was another) till I gave up on the crap!
Dude I admire your tenacity trying to put your point across, but there is no converting this lot. They lap up Ozito everytime even though it's complete junk.
Faults in the stuff could have caused major injuries to these welded on tools & they'd still stand on a corner with their arm in a sling holding a banner supporting the rubbish!.
.
Reminds me of another phenomenon happening in the world right now.
Is there a brushless angle grinder skin? Anybody used one?
If they have not fixed them, the single brush holder melted twice with 2 units under very little load before I decided to switch brands … absolute crap IME
.
If you can go a few bucks more, the brush-less unit has a better rep, plus it's 125mm rather than 115, the disks can be dearer or at least the same cost for 115 as they are in less demand & there's far more disk options for 125mm
Misunderstood, yes there is a brushless Ozito angle grinder, it's 125mm … has a good rep & 125mm disks cost the same or less than 115mm disks as well as there's far more types of disks available for 125mm.
Yes and no.
I have an abused Ozito Brushless 125mm grinder that I've cut colorbond roofing with, car body panels, etc. and rebuilt a few gates with. It works fine, probably on par with my Bosch Blue but cheaper. A 4Ah battery is a MUST, as is good disks. Without them you won't have fun.
MUST be Brushless though. Don't get a Brushed Grinder unless its a one and done job and you're on an extremely tight budget.
I've heard the brusheless 125mm units stand up, the 125mm disks are the same price & often cheaper than 115mm with far greater options available.
Not sure why anyone would use a 115mm unit outside of a few niche cases. You can always plunge less with a bigger disk but you can't plunge more with a smaller one. 125mm disks wear down quick enough as is anyway.
But yeah they're solid units for the cost of a tool and batteries. Leaves room to buy proper disks instead of the cheapest on the shelf.
@S11: Cost & a first purchase is why I ended up with one in a 5 piece kit, the 115mm grinder was my first battery grinder … it & it's replacements died under close to no load, the last one - I turned it on & watched with a friend as it smoked up just running in my hand for a short time, that was about 5 yrs ago … I guess they've fixed that, if they haven't … they are worse than my current assumption of the brand! … only good thing was it encouraged me to value a quality brand regardless of the extra $
You shouldn’t cut colorbond with a grinder. It rusts in a few years if you don’t seal it afterwards. Especiallly if you live near the coast.
That's precisely what I was planning to do. What tool would be preferable?
Can any of these tools be used to drill holes in concrete walls? Or do i need a hammer drill
All three tools could put a hole in a concrete wall. If you're drilling one hole, any drill will work, but a hammer drill is going to save you a lot of time and energy, especially if you're doing multiples. I would not buy this kit for that purpose. If it's one hole, you can usually find 240v hammer drills very cheap and I often see them at the tip shop
It'll depend on your brick, but…
If you need to drill a lot of holes and plan to drill more, a SDS Hammer Drill will be your best bet (Or if you want to chisel concrete, tiles, etc). You'll spend more up front but the SDS Bits seem to last longer (typically).
If you just need to drill a few holes and want a more versatile tool, get a Brushless Driver and some ¼” Hex-Shank Masonry Bits. They'll rip through softer brick, and you'll get a dozen or so holes done easily, but they wear down quicker than an SDS Masonry Bit. You still have a driver for doing and undoing screws, bolts, etc. which is probably more useful for most people.
You could get a Drill with Hammer Drill function but they're never as good as an SDS Hammer Drill and I find them harder to use than a Driver which just eats everything at the cost of bit life.
Either way this probably isn't the right kit.
Ozito's AC powered rotary impact drill I bought for next to nothing over 15yrs ago has had a LOT of use & still goes, my Makita 18v one kills it for performance, but it cost a sh!tload more!
That bad boy is amazing value for money . I did kill the chuck on one and they exchanged it . You must use plenty of grease that is provided in the case .
Thanks all for the replies
If you don't mind spending at least a few mins per hole, yeah this would probably work for a couple of holes, can't confirm for this particular model though, but they generally work if they aren't a total pos.
As others have said, an sds hammer is the way to go, you'd spend seconds per hole instead of minutes.
Didnt the last one come with a leafblower
These or Ryobi tools? There are mixed messages about Ozita in the internet.
Ozito Brushless is better quality than Ryobi in my experience, but Ozito brushed is a mixed bag.
Ozito batteries are cheaper than Ryobi either way and 5 year warranties are hard to argue against for DIYers.
Ozito is just re-badged Einhell which are pretty pricey in Europe and fairly widely used outside of Bosch.
Either can be ok or crap! Ryobi have a battery thing where a chip deliberately bricks the battery & Ozitos' batteries don't last as long as a "Main" brands do … however, the cost difference is extreme! … you can buy a 3 pack of Ozito 4ah batteries for $99 where a main brand may cost $250 per battery … watch a lot of youtubes where they test Ryobi stuff … you get what you pay for!
I once got a very similar Ryobi kit (drill, impact driver, grinder), but with 2x2Ah batteries and a standard (1.5A?) charger for $177.
I heard that Ryobi has better quality, and 7y warranty, and generally costs more
I have this, I bought this set for $79 on special 10 years ago and use it maybe once or twice a year and it has lasted. Good quality. With inflation, $200 is a good price.
I just tried but I got this:
"Oops! This product is no longer available."
cannot decide whether to pull the plug and buy this now or wait until may… any recommendations please? :)
Check the Ozito deals around May last year. Can't say for certain this is a limited offer, clearance or whatever. Bunnings do put prices up as well as lower them.
The brushless angle grinder was $79.98 in May down from about $120. In order to get the included kit savings on batteries/chargers you need to buy them on a deal as well. So look at different deals to optimise your savings especially if you intend to buy more of the ecosystem.
I decided personally only on brushless where possible and have mostly brought deals with a few clearance products.
I would wait for a deal on the brushless drill.
It looks like they already reduced the price to $199
https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-3-piece-kit-p3k-40…
Updated thanks
They took out the sander and circular saw? I bought a 5-piece kit for $199 almost a year and half ago.
Package deflation due to inflation
I got these in a 5-piece kit in 2021 and all are still working great. The impact driver has had heavy home use. The grinder does lack power so jobs take longer.
These are standard brushed powertools. Some Ozito brushless models (skins) are expected to go on sale individually during May and be discounted as high as 40-60%.
Brushless along with their newer design are generally considered higher quality/performance tools but expect to pay ~$0-$30 more per tool in the Ozito range during the May sale unless they discount the bundles further.
So value wise yes but if the price stays low perhaps see what pops up in May.
