Drill's good for putting flat-pack furniture together but I'd hate to build a deck with it.
- -5
The impact driver is the tool for that anyway
- 7
Nah the impact driver will go all day and do the job. I’ve done a massive renovation with the impact driver driving roof screws all day long. It’s not trade quality but very capable of doing anything you can throw at it.

@jcon: “ very capable of doing anything you can throw at it.” anything being the operating word here

Nah the impact driver will … do the job
So you don't drill pilot holes?
It’s not trade quality but very capable of doing anything you can throw at it.
"not trade quality" is an understatement.
I was building a clothesline and I went and got my Ryobi because the Ozito was too gutless. Wouldn't want to compare it to a Makita.

I disagree. Built a 40m2 deck the other day.
- 2
Weird. I was able to do it. Hardwood joists and decking too. For odd jobs I think you can get by with this gear
- 2
@Foodstamps: You're able to do it, but it would be much slower.
If you have a half-decent driver and the Ozito together, the difference would be obvious to even the softest keyboard fingers. The equivalent Ryobi driver has 60% more torque.
People will still neg me for pointing out reality though, even though I've been very pro-Ozito and anti-Ryobi in the past, and I own a lot more Ozito than Ryobi.

Built my deck with ozito and they were fine . My mate actually was helping and he had a far more expensive Makita driver and there was just not that much difference . His battery lasted substantially longer and rotation speed was better but not a huge time saving for the odd job . If you were using it all day everyday sure but for around the home Ozito work really well .
The Ozito brushed grinder on the other hand was gutless and next to useless even with a large battery .- 3
Built my deck with ozito and they were fine
Using this specific kit? There are at least 3 Ozito impact driver models, and not all Ozito are created equal (or Makita, for that matter).
around the home Ozito work really well
agreed, unless we're talking a proper renovation

"THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED FOR DIY USE ONLY"
Ozito kit: 150Nm
Ryobi kit: 240NmI know we OzBargainers love our Ozito but I'm not wrong…

lol why do you keep doubling down on this. It's a cheap drill in a $159 bundle - that should speak for itself. People have successfully used it well beyond its means (including building multiple decks built it seems) and clearly have varying tolerances of quality I guess.
- 7
lol why do you keep doubling down on this
Just so potential buyers are aware - they might see the negs and think I'm wrong, but it's a bit different when I come with the specs and there's a 60% drop in torque from a comparable kit.
clearly have varying tolerances of quality I guess.
Ozito are well known to be hit and miss with their quality, but they've also got different models of drivers.
The drivers in this kit are Ozito's budget option (i.e. cheapest of the cheap). But now people are doubling down that they built a deck with Ozito without noticing a difference with a Makita (NOT "a cheap drill in a $159 bundle") which is unbelievable to me, so my guess is they're not using the Ozito drivers from this kit.
I still like Ozito. I still own a lot of Ozito. You can check my post + comment history. But people on this site can be very biased and tribal.
EDIT: There are at least 2 x Ozito impact driver options with over 200Nm of torque.

@BestTechAdvisor: You've over-exaggerated your point though, which has lost you credibility from the very start.
I have abused my Ozito tools over the years and have definitely used them well beyond their intended purposes (as many others have), and for this reason they are great value.
Can you do better? Sure, but you'll be spending more.

I'm the only one showing up with figures and I've lost credibility?
I have abused my Ozito tools over the years and have definitely used them well beyond their intended purposes (as many others have), and for this reason they are great value.
Again, I'm not saying that Ozito generally isn't great value, but the skins in this specific kit are particularly gutless and people should be aware of that.
Can you do better? Sure, but you'll be spending more.
If you don't need the (very poorly reviewed, even here on OzBargain) angle grinder, then you can get this Ryobi kit for $30 more.
That's ~20% more cost for ~25% (drill) to ~60% (impact) more performance.
Will it matter when assembling flat packs? No, but it will matter on larger projects, so it's at least worth prompting the people who think "a drill is a drill" to contemplate if this kit best suits their needs.
- 1
I'm the only one showing up with figures and I've lost credibility?
Yes, you know the drill is far more capable of just being used to assembling furniture.
but the skins in this specific kit are particularly gutless and people should be aware of that.
For the price point, the performance is exactly what you would expect. Most people buying these kits are using them for odd jobs around the home, and others are achieving much more out of them as a bonus.

I never said the drill is only capable of assembling furniture. I said it would be "good for putting flat-pack furniture together but I'd hate to build a deck with it."
For the price point, the performance is exactly what you would expect.
It's not what I expected when I bought mine. I thought the cost saving mostly reflected the brand prestige, not a huge performance drop. If I had checked the spec sheet before buying then I would've known.
The other Ozito driver models meet my performance-for-price expectations.
Most people buying these kits are using them for odd jobs around the home
Which I think they would be great for, but when those odd jobs turn into large projects and big renovations, then they will be pushing or past their limit.
and others are achieving much more out of them as a bonus
I think a lot of people who are praising Ozito impact drivers are using the models with well over 200Nm and confusing them with the budget model from the budget brand.
This specific Ozito impact driver is closer to 12V performance from brands like Milwaukee and Bosch than it is to performance by 18V Ryobi impact drivers, or even most other 18V Ozito impact drivers.

@topherboi: You've just restated points I've already refuted…
It’s still overly exaggerated and clearly not true, which is misleading to potential buyers.
It's not at all exaggerated and it is true.
I actually gave evidence, yet all anyone else wants to do is give anecdotes without even confirming they're talking about the right model of Ozito driver.
Do you own these specific drivers and have you compared them to the equivalent drivers from other manufacturers?
Your expectations sound high compared to most other users who have shared their experience.
My expectations aren't high. They're met by other Ozito tools. These specific models are particularly weak. I know from first hand experience and from the spec sheet.

@BestTechAdvisor: So you are saying that the 12V Makita tools, and the Milwaukee 12V tools I used prior to that for both work and at home for the last 14 years, are inadequate?
In my near 10 years of installing aircons, the only 18V tool I used was a rotary hammer to put the hole through masonry for the pipes and electrical. Everything else was "low powerd" 12V.
A lot of people just don't understand that every tool does not have to be the biggest, baddest and most powerful to get the job done.
Granted, Ozito are not at the pinnacle, but they are most certainly more than capable for most average users needs. And the warranty is good too.

I guess that depends what you were using them for.
In my near 10 years of installing aircons, the only 18V tool I used was a rotary hammer to put the hole through masonry for the pipes and electrical. Everything else was "low powerd" 12V.
Were the other tasks low demand? All this really tells me is the 12V tools couldn't handle the demands of drilling brick.
A lot of people just don't understand that every tool does not have to be the biggest, baddest and most powerful to get the job done.
You're 100% right. Just like cars. Most people don't need a RAM 1500. But just because a Kia Tasman can tow 3.5t doesn't mean it's the best vehicle for the job. It'll be unsafe and gutless accelerating.
Now, I'm not saying everyone needs to go out and buy a Makita. I'm not even saying they need to go out and buy a Ryobi, or the better Ozito drivers, or even an 18V as opposed to a 12V.
All I'm saying is, a Kia Tasman is going to be painful towing 3.5t up Mount Ousley.
Granted, Ozito are not at the pinnacle but they are most certainly more than capable for most average users needs.
You're right, but I'm really specifically talking about these models and not Ozito generally.
And the warranty is good too.
The warranty is the average 5 years most brands offer, though Ryobi offers 6. Neither Ozito or Ryobi cover commercial use though.

@BestTechAdvisor: I am not going to bother quoting with replies. You have your opinion. And it is just that. An opinion.
To put an 80mm hole through masonry is beyond what a 12V is designed for or capable of, hence using a bigger heavy-ish 18V SDS. Stupid to think otherwise.
The other tasks needed the right tool for the job. The external holes in masonry to mount the outdoor unit and duct covers were all done with a Makita 12V rotary hammer. Mostly 12mm, 5mm and occasionally 6mm & 10mm. All done with ease.
Conversely, using a rotary hammer that is too powerful and used by a numpty can blow out the material, ending up in an oversized hole that your anchors won't hold in properly. Again, right tool for the job.
The larger 8mm x 65mm hex type wall anchors were done up with a Makita 12V ratchet that has a lowly 47nm. The smaller 5mm & 6mm PH2 with a Makita 12V drill driver with just 38nm.
To this day the 12V tools I have are more than enough for making my own furniture, making garage benches, general house type stuff and helping friends and family etc.
My least used of all my cordless tools is the impact driver. Mine has just 110nm and it doesn't get used because it is pointless to me. Drill a pilot hole, then use a drill to drive screws in. Far better control over it.
Argue all you want, but having used tools for a living myself, you are just so wrong. Get back to me after you have used a variety of cordless tools for work and then tell me which ones you prefer. If it's lower powered and/or lighter it is not always a negative.
Like I said, you don't have to have the most powerful tool to get the job done. For most people, the tools in the OP are enough.
Feel free to continue, but as far as I am concerned, I am done with this thread.

You have your opinion. And it is just that. An opinion.
Also the only opinion to have reference specifications, models, etc.
To put an 80mm hole through masonry is beyond what a 12V is designed for or capable of
And renovations would be beyond what this drill is designed for
The other tasks needed the right tool for the job.
Yes, and this tool will be good enough for plenty of jobs, but it also won't be enough for others. In those cases, most people don't want two sets of the same tools, two different batteries, etc.
Therefore, it's worth noting that this is really closer to a 12V tool (as you've shown below) than it is simply a budget version of Ryobi's basic 18V drill, which is what a lot of people will assume.
To this day the 12V tools I have are more than enough for making my own furniture, making garage benches, general house type stuff and helping friends and family etc.
That's great, but I did have some 12V tools for working in tight spaces, so I know what they're like to use. If I didn't have any tools and I was going to buy some for a home renovation project, I couldn't see why I would opt for those 12V tools for when I could pay a little more for a huge jump in performance.
My least used of all my cordless tools is the impact driver. Mine has just 110nm and it doesn't get used because it is pointless to me. Drill a pilot hole, then use a drill to drive screws in. Far better control over it.
Interesting. I actually said that you should drill pilot holes above. That said, it takes a long time to switch back and forth between driver and drill bits, so much so that, back when I'd get thrown into the ceiling as an apprentice, even in those tight spaces I'd still drag both the impact and drill with me.
Argue all you want, but having used tools for a living myself, you are just so wrong. Get back to me after you have used a variety of cordless tools for work and then tell me which ones you prefer.
Ok. I'm ready to get back to you now?
Like I said, you don't have to have the most powerful tool to get the job done. For most people, the tools in the OP are enough.
You're right, I'm not arguing against that people need a 240V corded drill like some old timers still believe.
What I am arguing is that these tools are going to be less powerful than most people will expect if they have used other 18V drivers, and that they may therefore overestimate its performance.
Feel free to continue, but as far as I am concerned, I am done with this thread.
No worries. No hard feelings, enjoy your weekend 😁

They give you an angle grinder but not a hammer drill? 🤨
- 0
You wouldn't want it, it wouldn't be strong enough at this price. probably could only put 2mm holes in bricks, lol.
I used the grinder, and it really is for light grinding and maybe cutting. slightly more pressure and it stops. You have to be gentle with it, it has no balls.
It is 115mm, so not much of a selection of discs available, like a 125mm.Great for the price, but just lower your expectations.
- 2
Despite all that I am pretty sure the target market for Ozito combo kits and just look at the comments here asking just as much, they would much sooner put a a few holes in their garage brick wall to hang something than ever use the angle grinder.
The hammer drill combo isn't exactly much different in price when Aldi make them join the party.
Morever, better to have the option than not having the option at all.- -3
I don't know why people keep saying 115mm discs are hard to get and the choices are limited.
115mm discs are extremely easy to find, are widely available and the choices are just a broad as with 125mm. Same with 100mm

Is this a good kit for a beginner to use to assemble and disassemble furniture or are there other recommendations?
- 0
This set would be prefect for that and at $160 you can't really go wrong

I'd lean towards the Bosch Blue 12V for furniture/ flatpack assembly. Plenty of power, smaller and lighter. Total Tools include a cutting tool/ grinder, Sydney Tools include a rotary tool thing. https://www.totaltools.com.au/automotive-sale/133694-bosch-2…
BUT for $150-ish you won't get better than the Ozito kit, just don't use the grinder with a cutting disk unless you have a full face shield and some proper understanding of how dangerous that tool is.

Isn’t that true of just about any grinder and not this specific ozito one?

Yeah that's correct. Unless it's Grindr. That is apparently more fun.

This gear is okay for light DIY work but hopeless for anything heavy duty. But if you want some power tools and only have $160, then this is the deal.

With the angle grinder, even light duty is a push. I've relegated mine to only be used with a flap disk or similar. Even with a very thin cutting disk, it bogs down when cutting steel sheet when others charge on through. You really have to invest a fair bit more for a bigger name manufacturer's battery powered angle grinder before it becomes more of an all-rounder. I've got a dewalt battery and this ozito battery grinder plus a box full of corded ones. The ozito battery one gets the least use.

The brushless Ozito grinder that goes on sale every year is a beast, I’ve ground through anything.
- 0
Mate @banana365 I used to think that as well but put on a semi decent disc on it and it's OK. At this entry level you need to spend more $$ on the perishables to compensate.
Most of the time the description is usually useless however in this case it clearly state that this is an entry level tool set. There is a reason why other brands or even tools in this range are more expensive.- 0
I use good quality disks, but it makes no real difference. If I use the same disks on any of my other grinders (I have way more than is normal) then the difference is enormous. I refuse to waste my time mollycoddling a tool that's not up to the job it was bought for.

Light tools for light jobs. You will still need a set from Makita, DeWalt, Bosch, Mill… Sooner or later.

this tool set appears to be brushed. you are better off with brushless versions. this set is an XU1 equivalent. the maximum torque for the brushed impact driver is pretty weak 150Nm

This is more than sufficient for DIY use; he isn't a tradie.
I'm pretty sure he isn't building a house.
Most people will use this to build there ikea furniture and fiddle around with some basic home projects. no need to buy brushless that you will only use a handful of times.- 2
Thanks for the input guys, I bought the one in the below link, I dont think thats brushless either? Or is it?
I found this product at Bunnings Warehouse you may like: Ozito PXC 18V Cordless Impact Driver Kit PXIDK-250

@bobby dazzler: For my use case I think either is fine so I should go with the one that’s best value? The guy at bunnings recommended me the $99 impact driver that I linked above.

@rmsprs: oh i thought you got the 220Nm brushless impact driver skin in the link above. the PXIDK-250 appears to be the same as the one in this deal, brushed and 150Nm. the kit might be better value in that case depending on whether you need a drill driver or not

Just a reminder that the warranty may not be honoured if you buy this on Bunnings PowerPass.
- 2
No very related but maybe someone has experience:
I have 2 brushed Ozito drills that stopped working, any idea how to check if the brushes are worn and where to get replacements?
I also suggest the brushless tools if you are going for a more intense use…
Still - a nice find…- 0
I thought the whole point of buying Ozito was that Bunnings replaces them under warranty.
- 1
This is what I was told when putting it through PowerPass. If you have PowerPass you are not considered a hobby user.
I believe Ryobi is treated the same.
You MAY be able to claim warranty (I did for a lawn mower dead on arrival). But bringing it back after 6 month may not have the same outcome.
Just be aware.- 1
Highly unlikely to be worn brushes. They last a very long time. Into the multiple 10's of hours of actual runtime. And they are not replaceable on the typical "can" type motors used in the most cordless brushed tools anyway.
Are they out of warranty?
- 0
Got them from the pawn shop and used them for about a year :)
So I guess well out…
Thanks for the reply- 0
Might be worth checking the spec plate on the tool. Will be a date on manufacture on it.
I have read that occasionally people have had success getting warranty without a receipt if the tool or battery is within date, so could be worth a try?

@revheadgl: I mean if they know manufacture date and it's within 5 years, and other stores don't sell this brand, so it should be kosher.
