The 18V brushless 3 piece combo kit can help you maximise worksite efficiency. It includes a hammer drill, an impact driver, a blower, a smart charger, 2 x 18V 4.0Ah pro lithium battery packs and a contractor bag. You can rely on every component in this combo kit to make applications easier.

The AEG 18V range is fully compatible with all generations of 18V tools, 18V batteries and 18V chargers
Brushless technology for maximum performance, longer runtime and extended motor life
Pro lithium battery cells allow you to work in the most extreme conditions

FYI, hammer drill kit is $249 by itself, so for $50 extra you get an impact driver and blower (and 2 x 4.0Ah batteries instead of 1 x 2.0Ah & 1 x 4.0Ah).

    If this is made in Germany it's the definitive kit to have

    • caileach on 06/04/2018 - 22:53

      Made in China by Techtronic Industries, they also make Ryobi & Milwaukee tools.

      It's probably quite a few years since any AEG power tools have been made in Germany.

      AEG power tools are sold under the name Ridgid in the US.

    I have the predecessor kit and it is pretty good. I use it on a farm where there is no powerpoint, and it will drill 6-8" fencing screws into wood, whereas my old cordless would struggle. Fast charging too.

    Definitely recommend for the home handyperson.

      Have you used it much. They’re pretty generous with their refund policy.

      • Sober Thoughts on 06/04/2018 - 21:39

        The AEG is a good deal but have been looking at the warranty of both Ozito and AEG. Ozito has 5 year replacement on drill and 3 years on battery. The AEG has 6 years extended warranty (repaired) on drill and 12 months battery. I know the AEG has more power, but does it justify spending another $120 if l return the ozito. Drill will be used for medium jobs around home. Any comments appreciated.

          All AEG batteries and battery chargers are eligible for a 3 year warranty with online registration. Conditions apply.*

          https://www.aegpowertools.com.au/register

          Looks like if you register within 30 days you will get 3 years warranty on it.

        • Dzui on 06/04/2018 - 22:27

          In my opinion, you need to choose the right tools for the right jobs. If you are only need a set of power tool for odd job around the house then keep your Ozital. However, if you consider yourself to become a semi-handyman in the future then definitely swap to get the AEG. It has enough power to do heavy duty job like build a steel frame veranda. Should check with Bunning staff for recommendation :) I have two sets of AEG and still running fine for the last 4-5 years. Only have to replace a small 1.5Ahr battery once.

          @stealthmatt: is a ACCC legal requirement in Australia if they offer extended warranty for free then you don't need to register, it's been that way for years.

        • resisting the urge on 10/04/2018 - 00:58

          @Dzui: I built my house with a $89 12V 3-pack of mini Ozito power tools.

          The batteries wore out because I cycled them too quickly during prolonged use, (didn't know better, and the manual didn't warn me about doing it).

          But Bunnings replaced the tools and the batteries each time. The tools wore out too, but replacement fixed them ;-)

          Now all three are out of warranty and the last of the batteries died. And Bunnings never did bother selling the batteries.

          So I figured out how to buy a cheap 2.0AH Milwaukee battery replacement instead, strip the guts out if it and fit that into the Ozito pack. So now there's new lease of life on these old things again.

          Time to build the next house!

          Then again, I now have bigger De Walt and Ozito tools to use on the bigger jobs, that little Ozito pack should still last a long time if not abused.

      I noticed the Ozito isn't Brushless, is that right? Whats the benefit of Brushless?

      Im also keen on picking up the Ozito pack.

  • guidedlight on 06/04/2018 - 21:05

    I'm not sure about the blower, but the drill and driver look decent.

  • Colonial Marine on 06/04/2018 - 21:49

    Good find op, drill/driver I own and am very pleased. Blower looks like a hair dryer with a handle.

  • Thom81 on 06/04/2018 - 22:12

    Bought the brushed version of the drill and driver last month with 2.5ah batteries and have been rock solid. Wish this deal had come about then!

      Drives screws into things. Does it better than a standard drill. Try one, you won't go back to using a drill.

        Believe me so so much better then a drill, I just recently made a tv unit, desk and Blu Ray shelf, really wished I had an impact driver :(
        Am just to stingey to get one 😂

    • GenghisGun on 07/04/2018 - 08:52

      Impact driver has a ratchet-style screwing mechanism which delivers FAR more torque to the screw (think 3.5 times the amount) without burning out the drill. fantastic to have the combo pair, the drill for pre-drilling holes accurately and at precise speed, and the impact driver with high torque for screws, and you dont have to constantly interchange batteries or drilling bits to get the job done. Amazing combo to have. I have the AEG brushless hammer drill and impact driver, and they are reliable workhorses, with a quality feel to them

  • wfdTamar on 06/04/2018 - 22:26

    I have quite a few AEG 18 v tools some dating back to the blue German era. Had the entry level driver which nearly caught fire and jammed solid. Fixed under warranty but meantime I was forced to buy another to get my job done. Couldn’t wait for warranty repair. Got the fancy Fusion drill, driver $600+ set. Drill had problems right out of the box. Quality is just not there like it used to be.

    This price seems ok, but regular prices are too expensive for the average quality. I used to swear by AEG. Lately just swearing.

    Good deal if you don't have any of those tools, granted it's one of those things were "if you didn't have a brushless set already and didn't notice then you probably don't need one".
    Got an AEG Brushless hammer drill, Ryobi (non-brushless) Impact Driver and Ryobi blower - they would've cost as much as this altogether so seems pretty neat to me.

      not brushless

    • GenghisGun on 07/04/2018 - 08:55

      if i recall, the AEG impact driver also has ~240 Nm of torque, also the drill driver has a metal chuck instead of the common plastic ones for others (unsure of the ryobi, but i knew this was a factor when i was brand checking for my set a while back)

      and you get 2 * 4.0 Ah batteries, which is almost double the battery storage, saving you recharges and down time not working while you wait :)

      • wfdTamar on 07/04/2018 - 10:04

        I find if you have two equal capacity batteries you don't have downtime waiting for a battery to charge as they charge faster than you can use them. Maybe if you're really set up to drill or drive fast and flying through screws you would beat the charger.

        • resisting the urge on 10/04/2018 - 01:03

          Try to let them cool before charging again, you'll extend their life enormously.

      Ryobi and AEG brands are now made by Hong Kong based Techtronic Industries. Despite the history of these brands they are now considered handyman level tools rather than tradesman quality. Ozito is only sold by Bunnings and they are upfront in their description about being handyman tools only.

      If you use the tools lightly, the batteries are the component that's likely to fail first. Extra batteries are available for all brands - check out the prices. Batteries are rarely discounted.

      The Ozito circular saw is on 150mm (cut depth 48mm) rather than the more common 185mm size blade (cut depth 65mm). Both the saw and the angle grinder are only going to be suitable for light work.

      The blower and torch are marketing gimmicks IMO.

      I would choose the AEG for the reasons that @GenghisGun gives. Ozito gives more, lower quality tools for the same price so that may suit your needs better.

      • dufflover on 07/04/2018 - 12:26

        If you use the tools lightly, the batteries are the component that's likely to fail first.

        Starting this year I now don't charge my batteries until they're down to the last segment indicated, and even then I'll try make sure they only charge up to that 70% mark, give or take.

        Too many spare batteries (obviously bought way too many good deals in the past lol) and not enough usage so I won't leave the batteries sitting in storage so long at 100%; it's a Li-ion storage life thing for those who don't know.

        I never use them enough to have to worry about usage time if the battery starts at 60% and even then got spares.

          http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_li…

          Similar to a mechanical device that wears out faster with heavy use, the depth of discharge (DoD) determines the cycle count of the battery. The smaller the discharge (low DoD), the longer the battery will last. If at all possible, avoid full discharges and charge the battery more often between uses. Partial discharge on Li-ion is fine. There is no memory and the battery does not need periodic full discharge cycles to prolong life. The exception may be a periodic calibration of the fuel gauge on a smart battery or intelligent device. (See BU-603: How to Calibrate a “Smart” Battery)

        • dufflover on 07/04/2018 - 21:58

          @Grunef: you don't store lithium ion long term at full capacity is more the point rather than deep discharge

      • wfdTamar on 07/04/2018 - 13:06

        One thing to check is can you get circular saw blades in the strange sizes these cordless ones come in?

      • RandomBob84 on 06/05/2018 - 20:11

        If you mention those two brands, you should also mention that Milwaukee is also owned by Techtronic… They are also considered trade grade. So dont just pick and choose the brands to prove your point.

    • wfdTamar on 07/04/2018 - 10:00

      Those three kits -
      Depends a lot on your intended level of use and your attitude to longevity of tools. If you're just DIY'ing and have no cordless yet try the Ozito kit. Some Ozito tools are ok (I know people rave about the heavy drill/light jack hammer stuff as good value for the money). If you intend adding lots of tools then pick a range that has the tools you'll want. For DIY I wouldn't turn my nose up at the RyobiOne range, though that kit seems a bit naff for the money(I don't value blowers). Some Bosch Green is worth a look.

      AEG are a level up from Ryobi and definitely Ozito. More serious DIY/light trade. You can do serious building at this level. Bosch blue are serious contenders and much cheaper than they used to be (more made in China now). Sometimes get cheap ones. This is all just what is at Bunnings.

      Tools you'll actually use (in order of use) - drill, circular saw (really handy). Impact driver when you have a heavy screw intensive job. Angle grinder (I don't have a cordless, but use my corded one a fair bit). Blower (would you ever? What happened to brooms?) Torch (nah).

      You'd think the bigger the battery the better, but a smaller, light weight one is ok (lower overall tool weight) - depends on having enough batteries to keep you going while they charge. So don't automatically go for the 6Ah over the 2Ah or 4Ah. Smart fast chargers are good.

  • Marzmaldonado on 07/04/2018 - 09:47

    It’s one of the best buys for a quality brand. $299 is a steal!!

  • donkeydoc on 07/04/2018 - 10:20

    Great value, if you intend these for heavy use, be wary of battery faults. like 4-5hrs a day, 5 days a week for 2-3 months. The tools themselves are powerful.

  • CheapGit on 07/04/2018 - 13:48

    The sparkies at work use these battery blowers, though it's a Makita, thing is pretty strong in comparison with the corded version they have and you can't always get everything with a brush/broom !

  • ripprind on 07/04/2018 - 23:54

    if you need a driver and a drill and a blower then this kit with 2X 4Ah batteries is what you need! I don't think you can get a similar Ozito kit for the same price. Ozito blower blows anyway.

    I have used my mates 18v brushless AEG tools a bit and they seem solid and pack enough power to be used for work imo. Impact driver was kind of loud though, or maybe just sounded unusual.
    Quite unusual that you can get AEG cheaper than Ozito.

  • renw on 08/04/2018 - 07:24

    Impact driver will change your life fellow weekend warriors. Great price for a great product. And despite what people might say, cordless blowers are awesome! Clean the drive way, and clean the patio without having to move things like table and chairs haha takes no time.

    Also, this impact driver has 200+nm, very high and will be above what most DIY jobs require. I think getting above what you think you need at a cheap price is the way to go for DIY.

      Brushless cost more but give longer battery life.

      A tradesperson who uses a drill everyday for several hours a day, would benefit from extra battery life of a brushless motor.

      A home handyman who might drill a few holes or screw a few screws every now and then, mightn't get much benefit from the extra cost from a brushless motor.

      Drilling 8mm holes through bricks
      A brushless motor with a 4ah battery might let you drill 220 holes.
      A brushed motor with a 4ah battery might let you drill 150 holes.

      Screwing 8mm x 100mm screws into wood.
      A brushless motor with a 4ah battery might let you screw 185 screws.
      A brushed motor with a 4ah battery might let you screw 160 screws.

      Those numbers were from a test on youtube that compared some drills, those comparisons I listed are from a Milwaukee brushless drill and a Bosch brushed drill.

      In regards to power you need to look at the specs of individual products, some brushed motors can have more power than a brushless motor, some brushed motors can have the same power as a brushless motor and some brushed motors can have less power than a brushless motor.

  • BorisYeltzen on 08/04/2018 - 14:14

    Whats the deal with the battery on the blower? Is it compatible with the charger for the drills?

    Can someone recommend some masonry drill bits for the hammer drill and some bits for the impact driver? I'm guessing none of that comes with the drills?
