Not sure if a cordless can ever match a plugin but the Li-Ion Hammer dril is really good.
Thanks for your reply. Will it do masonry? That's all I really need.
Yes. Hammer drills are designed for drilling holes in masonry or stone. However will also depend on what kind of masonry you want to drill into. I have struggled drilling into Concrete even with a plugin drill. You need a good drill bit also.
If you are still worried go in to Bunnings. They always have one on display at my local Bunnings(Auburn).
You usually need a $10 drill bit and then a new one every 2-3 holes you drill. Take it slow, pull it out and cool it down with water and it will work.
@diddy50: NEVER cool them with oil or water. Air cool only, and don't let them get too hot in the first place. Once they get too hot and change colour they are stuffed. The hardening on the tip will change from excessive heat, and it will become brittle and chip off and become useless.
I have a cordless Ozito hammer drill barely used, it's the best ever, sell for $5.
Or save yourself the heartache and pay $90-110 for a brand name corded one which will be more reliable and high powered in comparison. I used the Ozito to put four dynabolts in masonry and it wasn't fun. Then got a cheap corded Makita and it was like a hot knife through butter.
I am kind of confused from your comment. Mean it is crappy?
IMO yes. I've wasted money on cheap cordless power tools in the past and I won't make the same mistake again. Definitely get corded for a hammer drill so you won't have battery issues, that's my one tip even if you do get a cheap brand.
Do you have any suggestion on good budget tools. I will be starting to build my set very soon
Bunnings has specials so just grab things when they're cheap. I like Bosch and Makita, but whatever really. Cordless drill and most other stuff just get corded. The embuggerance of an extension cord is worth it for not having to charge batteries and usually the tools are more powerful or don't have a drop off in performance.

We're building apartments and the one above lasted about 2000-3000 holes (big ones for 10-12mm thick dynabolts and a lot more before it finally failed.
Took it back and replaced it with it's smaller brother:

I'd say about 700-1000 holes and going strong. Probably this would be my recommendation for anyone with a reasonable amount of use. Note the drill bit requires a different fitting (grooved one that doesn't slip like the smooth drill bits do) which is ideal for heavier duty use.
That said, we also have the previous version of this:

For drilling wood holes etc. and it's very very good! Great for around the house use, battery lasts ages and surprisingly strong.
Masonary, stick to corded.
I was going to ask of ozitos were worth buying as a brand. I only have experience with my dad's bosches and black&deckers.
agree on drilling masonry… corded is best.
still got one of these though. good to use as screwdriver… as well as hard to reach places where you cant be bothered with extension cords.
Masonry, corded is king. You need the high rpm and hammer function to really slice through.
Obviously you need a decent diamond tipped masonry drill bit too designed for hammers.
Off topic - You can buy masonry bits for non hammer drills, but you are literally there for years.
A little bit off topic but when using masory drill bits don't let them get hot - you can dip the bit in water to cool it
that is Not a good idea to dip the bit in water. Read the manufacturers recommendation….. of course unless you have a cheap crap drill bit, then you can dip it in water together with this ozito cordless as well.
In my opinion, this is a good deal. I work with similar tools on a daily basis and they do come in handy. In my experience you can't beat the quality of a good tool. But you will have to pay for it. To buy a good quality kit like this of a decent brand would be around 600 bucks. And I would expect these to be about a quarter of the quality, relitivly speaking these are cheaper. Although for daily use, and longevity, stay clear. +1 for the home handyman. As with corded vs cordless. Technology has come a long way, and recent model good brand name hammer drills can be just as efficient as the corded counterpart. Eg makita Milwaukee Bosch blue
For the home handyman your batteries won't be holding their charge as well in a couple of years. A corded version will still be good.
When will the Ozito Cordless Drill and Cordless Impact combo back??!!
It was $99 for 2
I saw it at Lidcombe or Greenacre Bunnings a couple months ago and somehow i didn't buy it, and now i regret as i need to make a cabinet…
Is Ryobi very good? Overpriced???
Are they selling their battery (one battery fits all?) separately?? That's a big drawback…Cordless rotary hammer drill… Who uses corded tools these days!?
I have the 13mm cordless ozito hammer drill (think the one in the pack is a 10mm chuck) with a decent masonry bit I had no issues drilling into brick and concrete. Only 10-15 holes so far but it drilled as good as a corded Bosch.
It might be cheap but does a pretty good job.
Thanks op.picked one today. Just in time for my home reno.
great, I picked one up, plan to split it for 2 seperate chrissy presents (although I am tempted to keep the twin cutter…)
Do these work as well as the plugin types? Thanks.
