      • Would bo good to know if it is, recently bought a drill / battery set and would like to have the impact drill…

          The cordless Ozitos and batteries are made by Einhell, a german company. The Aldi cordless tools are made by Einhell, but take a different set of batteries, which are made by Varo, a Belgian company.

          This Kogan Certa set is made by the Vertak corporation of Ningbo, China.

        • @breadylonglegs: Thanks.

          The units look similar, but battery connections differ. No dice.

          Which units are you talking about?

          Ozitos, Aldi, and Einhells are all made by Einhell, but the Einhell and Ozitos have slightly different battery connectors. The Aldi batteries are made entirely by a different company, but the tools themselves are made by Einhell.

          @noone025:

          The Kogan Certas are not related to the Ozito/Aldi/Einhells at all.

          They're made by the Chinese company linked above.

    Stick with aldi or bunnings. Much better quality and hassle free return policies.

      … and the Ozito stuff has a far greater range with Brushless options and Garden Tools too.

    The product page says nothing about charge time for the charger or Ah for the battery.

      lol, it's a 1300mAh Li-Ion

      and they only come with a 1 year standard warranty

      • +1

        I couldn't find that. So it's a gutless wonder.

        • +2

          Yeah, you would be better with the Ozito Power X Change

          3 Year warranty on Batteries, 5 years on tools, along with Bunnings 'we don't really care why' exchange policy

        • +2

          @xev: Yes, I have several tools in that range. It was the warranties that persuaded me. So far, so good.

        • +1

          Same here. warranty and that they are made by Einhell

          My tool policy currently is Buy the cheaper one and it it doesn't do the job take it back and invest in the more expensive one.

          Yep I took an Ozito Power X Change hammer drill back to Bunnings the other day as I got a masonary bit stuck in it and couldn't get it out and yeah too easy no questions asked and they gave me a new drill and they even drill bit….bloody awesome warranty

          @kiwibro: Three years ago I bought a cordless Ozito pruning saw - not a Power X Change model - and it ceased working after 4 uses. They had no replacement so they refunded me.

  • It's like every chain has to have a range of incompatible, crappy tools.

    Who's got the best of the crappiest?

    Unbelievable that it is Bunnings with it's Ozito range;

    • Aldi is much bigger globally so could do far better
    • Kogan is (or was) much smarter (but the tools barely compete)
    • Woolworths failed and went out backwards by doing it no differently, without any goodwill to spend
    • Home hardware, Mitre 10, SCA, SydneyTools, all are going nowhere with their current strategies (!?!)

    What's worse, all the cheap ones 'reduce production costs' by supplying dodgy chargers and batteries that cannot last even when lightly used (anything with a 2 pole connection has no temperature monitoring during the charge cycle). This increases warranty returns but only the big chains give a stuff about that (with their house branded product)
