Thanks for the heads up PJC
No problem.
Ozito Power X skins (selected) $49
which ones ?
Click on "Go to Deal"… d'oh!
There aren't any bargains listed in the title or description… d'oh!
Geez… click on "Go to Deal"… look… all is listed, right?
What is this place - a forum for a (reasonably) intelligent people, who do (not excessive) amount of thinking… or a WWII German instruction how to use a gun; a single line missed, and neutrons fail to fire?
Geez… click on "Go to Deal"
That doesn't populate the description section above with a listing of what is a bargain and why… Read the posting rules.
@jv: Wow… rules and regulations… terms and conditions… instructions and rules… form over function… Just click on "Go to Deal". Did it answer "which ones"? It did?
…are we still confused?
@jv: In case it is not painfully obvious:
"By definition, following a guideline is never mandatory. Guidelines are not binding and are not enforced".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guideline
I quoted the source.
Wikipedia isn't the source, the OzBargain wiki is the source of the rules…
@jv: Not so: Wikipedia is the source of my quote. It explains what our society means by "guidelines".
When someone tries to allocate different meanings to words and concepts by means of writing rules, and convincing people to follow them… well, this is a separate, large topic, isn't it? Have a good day, Sir/Madam.
different meanings to words
Only the OzBargain rules are relevant here… Nothing to do with wikipedia.
@jv: You are now misquoting your own source. You have clearly misunderstood the purpose of the page you referred to; it says: "Please note these are guidelines(…)".
GUIDELINES not RULES.
The page in question uses the word "rule" once [and in different context: "(…)sites referral rules"], the word "guideline" 14 times, and, interestingly, the word "please" 27 times. There is absolutely no attempt in the source you quoted to deviate from commonly accepted meaning of words. If uncertain about what is the difference between "rules" and "guidelines", one would be best served by checking one of many easily accessible resources, Wikipedia is just one of them.
While you clearly must have the last word, with respect, I will leave it here. It became a circular TAN conversation between two individuals: you and me, other members already lost interest some time ago. Have a good day, Sir/Madam.
@jv: ?
Other members already lost interest of this irrelant exchange LONG time ago. Please, don't "contribute to internet congestion".
Please, don't "contribute to internet congestion".
No internet today, Telstra outage at our area.
@jv:
"Only the OzBargain rules are relevant here… Nothing to do with wikipedia." - Is this your rule or OzBargain rule ? I suspect this is your rule since I can't find this anywhere else. So I think this applies to your rule as well ie your rule is irrelevant then.
@jv: Quite elementary jv. Even a fifth year student would understand the paradox but maybe I won't bother.
Sorry jv I should know better. Updated. I'll now go sit in the naughty corner.
thanks…
thanks… complying with the Internet police is crucial for survival of the Internet.
Thanks OP, purchasing each one tomorrow, your a life savor cuz!
purchasing each one tomorrow
Only a couple are reduced, and some are often discounted cheaper than $49
EXPIRED already… That was quick…
not as quick as …
Good ol Aldi keeping Bunnings in check again ;)
…and there is more to come: http://www.smh.com.au/business/retail/amazon-is-coming-to-au…
The sweet, sweet smell of actual competition.
Currently nobody else is capable.
there's this website called ozbargain which seems to do a good job
Can anyone recommend buying into Ozito X branded product? I like the idea of one battery fits all, but is ozito worth it quality wise? (Main use would be around the house odd jobs)
Second question, where to start? Would you recommend this as a good starter package for $169 2x battery 2x drills or is there something better?
Ta
It depends on your needs and budget, There are many similar systems, Ozito X is definitely not the highest quality, but not bad, and sufficient for light duty work around the house. Read some comparative reviews on the net, there are many sites. My personal preference would be Bosch blue series (but there are many other brands I use and am happy with). Bosch blue series is very realistically priced in Australia. It is one of very few tools manufacturers left not bought by Chinese. While many Bosch tools are made in China, Bosch belongs to Bosch in Germany (that may or may not be relevant to you).
One battery fits all is common for all families of tools. Generally it is good idea to but a starting kit you like, and later keep adding tools you need. the first step is important, as in future you are likely to stay with the system you started with, so look at what they offer even if you do not intend to buy more straight away.
Hope this helps a bit. Just one site to start with (US, but still largely relevant): http://toolguyd.com
For around the house type jobs with cordless tools, I find an impact driver way more convenient than a hammer drill. Also, the bigger the battery capacity the better, and in some cases the higher capacity will exert more power which comes in handy for things like circular saws and angle grinders. I was given a Ryobi hammer drill with a 4ah and 1.5ah as a gift, so I figured I would stick with them. The hammer drill is OK, but I've got the impact driver as well that has taken a beating, easily driving 120mm coach screws into treated pine sleepers. The circular saw is pretty good, the hedge trimmer is really good, and the orbital sander is pretty crap.
If I was starting again I'd be inclined to go with either Bosch blue, Makita or Milwaukee but the price would be a lot higher.
Good advice, just be aware that impact drivers exert very high forces on screws (a combination of short rotation and short hammering in action), and are likely to damage, or snap of their heads. Not really suitable for small screws, unless used at very low speed. Most impact drivers do not have force adjustment (some do) and are designed for heavier tasks, e.g. driving a hex head screw into hardwood.
Thanks for the help so far
Would you suggest a kit with one large capacity battery 3-4v or two smaller capacity, 1.5v?
This is because Aldi have cordless tools this weekend. I'd lean towards Aldi tools because Ozito tools are intentionally cheap. Whereas Aldi products are more quality focused.
Sorry to be bland, but there is little difference between Ozito and Aldi cordless tools. Anecdotal evidence: I shop and Aldi, and really like what they do, but I always had bad experience with all technology related products they sell. In my opinion there is very little difference in quality between both cordless tools lines offered by Aldi and Ozito (or, if you like: both lines are "intentionally cheap"). They are not junk, but they are low range, light duty tools. Both with excellent replacement warranty policies, BTW.
With the key difference in warranties being that Bunnings can replace the tool whereas Aldi will most likely refund your money because they don't keep items in stock continuously.
That is correct in vast majority of cases. Though I got refund for two GMC tools; GMC used to be Bunnings generic brand before they switched over to Ozito.
Thanks for posting but the reciprocating saw skin has already been $49 for weeks. At least I now know it was $30.90 for a while last year.
