Was at Newstead (QLD) Bunnings this morning buying one of Ozitos new Power-X-Change Hybrid Worklights and noticed a staff member packing a shelf with these 4.0Ah Battery Twin Packs. As they're a new line there was no price info anywhere and they're not even listed on the website yet so I asked and was told they were in their system at $79 and that was "most probably a promo price". They were flat out so I left them to it but thought it was worth posting as a 'deal' even though I'm unsure if this is in fact a promo or their regular price. I suppose time will tell but either way it's a great buy IMO because $40ea is usually their sale price.

PS. The new Worklight is excellent if anyone's interested :) I've had them burning super-bright at 100% for the last 2+ hours just with a 2Ah battery in each! 'Brilliant' on many levels :p

  Just saw these at local bunnings in Vic. Most likely a new price to match the Aldi batteries, as their single 4ah batteries are reduced to match them too.

    Yeah, thought that too but could also just be an introductory promo price while ALDI still has theirs in stock. Not enough info to know for sure yet but hey, if $80 is their normal price I wonder what they'll be when they go on sale? Whoop!

      I have a feeling it's a promo item. Once it's gone, they might not restock it.
      Their 2x 3AH + charger for $69 isn't on their website either.

  Heh, I was at the same Bunnings just before. They also have a set of 2x 3AH batteries and a fast charger for $69.

  Yes, a staff member told me about them when I was buying the $39. I told them $39*2 is $78 and that I am an ozbargainer.

    $1.95 saving for 2, think of the possibilities

    A real ozbargainer is in the aldi xfinity ecosystem so that they can buy the batteries and skins at clearance prices 6 weeks after the “sale”, it doesn’t matter if it is inconvenient waiting for the right tool to come along…

          @c64: If they don't have stock it's a refund. Then you go to bunnings and pay full price.

      Agreed…however, I own mostly Ozito Power X tools and one Aldi battery powered tool (a hedge trimmer). My garage now has twice the number of Xfinity batteries/chargers as I get them for $10-20. Even today I had to stop myself buying more 4Ah Xfinity batteries reduced to $20.

      I've yet to see a Workzone power tool that I don't already own in the Power X range, or is better than Power X. Yesterday I bought the Power X circular saw. Same price as Aldi's offering next week, but a (slightly) better saw (IMO) with a better warranty. I can't help myself :-(

      If I could charge/fit the Aldi batteries to the Ozito Power X range I'd be laughing all the way to the bank!!

        If you have that many Ozito tools and Aldi batteries then consider just getting/making one of those adapters then.
        I've gone the other way around; got the Aldi nailgun since there's no equivalent Ozito for the price, but got some 3D printed bits together so it takes AEG batteries that I have too many of.

          @dufflover: I've seen Ozito -> Aldi adapters but yet to see an Aldi to Ozito one. The Aldi batteries are dirt cheap when reduced and I have a swag of Ozito Power X tools. Can't find the right convertor anywhere…

            @Lasher: Basically it'd be something like

            Plus: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1534660
            … Done
            (Ok a bit of assembly required and maybe better models to pick, but that's the jist)

              @dufflover: I ended up contacting the guy on Gumtree that does the Ozito battery to Workzone tool adaptor and he also does the reverse (Aldi to Ozito). Bought two off him for $30 each.

              @dufflover: what about cannibalising an aldi charger? is that hackable?

                @c64: Dunno, I have a couple of Aldi batts but no charger >_<
                (they were on clearance lol)

                It will be useful for the slots and wiring but I don't know if they have any securing mechanisms - for instance I'm pretty sure I don't have to press the button to eject the Ozito batteries from the charger. You'd want some kind of locking when on tools.

    Did the Bunnings staff identify themselves as ozbargainers too?

  Just bought an Ozito Drill set 18v with battery and bits down from $119/$99 but the packs were full price at North Mackay or Maybe they didn't have them up yet.

    I think I saw this yesterday on clearance from $70 in Bayswater

      bigpallooka on 20/10/2019 - 00:42

      I'm taking it back as I didn't notice until yesterday that they charged me full price.
