Amen to that! The hammer function on any of these lower priced cordless drills is laughable. If you're after a cordless drill as others have mentioned spend the extra 20 bucks or so and buy into the Power X range as you won't regret it.
I've got the power x rotary hammer drill and that thing is nice. I've only drilled 8mm holes through brick, but it powers through no worries
I got one of these and now do all my drilling with it. A bit of my screwing as well, given that it's actually got great torque.

Agreed.
Aldi one is good and comes with 2 power tools
The problem is that it's not even particularly compact, which is the main reason why you choose a 12v drill.
You can do a lot with a 12v drill but I agree that for a hammer drill you are best served by a well specced 18v cordless or a corded drill.
should be in the $10 bargain bin :)
Personally I'd spend the extra to get the Ozito Power X range. I agree with spludgey that if you actually need a hammer drill a corded one is much better (even a really cheap one), but if you're after a cordless drill/driver then get this for $20 more: https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-power-x-change-18v-10mm-co…. Much easier to replace batteries, get different skins, etc.
might be OK for people living in small apartments and want to hang a picture or 2 or assemble some flatpack furniture, and then it sits in the cupboard, but for people thinking of DIY projects 18V or 20V seems to be the minimum nowadays and brushless.
Tempting as it's cheap.
I have several X change tools and I know this uses a different battery type but it's very cheap for a cordless hammer drill worth two batteries!
12v sounds extremely low though… No idea of this could actually still through bricks.
It would be fine for hollow brick if you're just putting something on the walls inside your house. I wouldn't use the hammer function for more than that.
12v tools are great for just about anything you do indoors barring a major renovation, all nice and light-weight. As soon as you head outdoors odds are you need 18V or corded.
Also, don't assume this is anything like the Power-X-Change range which is an Einhell rebadge. This might as well be a completely different brand.
I have the 12v hammer drill + two battery kit that Aldi sell occasionally for $50. I've used it extensively with timber but I think that I drilled one 6mm hole into brick with it and haven't used the hammer function since. It worked but was tough going.
I know this comment will get downvoted for being a stick in the mud, but why would you do this to yourself?
If you need the hammer function, get a corded drill at that price range, a cheapy 12V cordless just won't do the job.
The 18V Ozito X change rotary hammer drill is excellent on the other hand (though it's $99 for the skin or $50 when Aldi have one).
