Maybe the charger is the 3rd piece bruv
They refer to this as 1 piece. So maybe they just count skins.
Charger makes it 3 piece maybe?
Its a 2 piece kit - the link even says so - you may want to update your title
thanks i've changed it
give it back
It's mine not yours!
How is Makita compare with Dewalt
Makita is way better and have a huge list of skins.
I already have the $150 Bosch kit Which I purchased recently.
That is your opinion. I have both brands and I'm happier with DeWalt
They're pretty similar. I'm personally invested in the Makita gear and like it a lot, but you can't go wrong either way.
Rarely any trades use Dewalt. That should answer your question
Go the Makita for sure.
Milwaukee > Dewalt > Makita.
Milwaukee is Ryobi…
Aldi > Ozito > everything else
Mini is not BMW.
Just buy the one that is best value. Also consider the other skins available (gardening tools, etc)
Ryobi leads it in the skins dept, but they aint no Makita.
Ryobi truly isn't that bad. There pretty good with a huge range and much better spec then the ozitos imo
Same price but with free delivery here,

Also be aware this kit only includes the standard charger which is a lot slower charging vs the rapid charger. It takes about 3 times longer to charge.
Coming up as $299 for me
Oops, my mistake, misread the op's title, damned dyslexia, lol.
Great price, brushless and 5 amp. Probably cause of totaltools blitz today.
Only one battery kinda kills the convenience factor of the kit. Might suck a few people into spending up big for an extra branded battery I suppose.
Given the price of a 5Ah Makita battery from Bunnings is $149 alone, the extra $130 for brushless drill/driver and charger is descent. Perhaps we are just getting ripped off every day of the week on batteries.
I just paid $85 for my 5Ah batteries.
For new genuine ? Where from?
From Plastering Supplies https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Genuine-Makita-5-Amp-Batteries-1…
They work out at $94.50 currently, but he's in sales from time to time the other day was 10%. I've got a bunch of tools and batteries off them over the years, all genuine.
@LowRange: I've bought from them too, a makita recipro saw for $120. I wonder how they have such low prices,maybe grey imports?
@martyn: Going off some of the model numbers, seems like they are US models. For example, an impact driver they have listed with the model number XDT14Z appears on the Makita USA website (https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/XDT14Z) and appears identical to the DTD148Z listed on the Australian site (https://www.makita.com.au/building-construction/category/dri…)
Noticed yesterday that the Bunnings URL no longer exists nor is the combo set listed on their website. So, popped over to Bunnings Lidcombe NSW today and picked one up. They still have 4 or so boxes of this set on the shelves.
New to the whole power tools thing, any recommendations for a case to store these in?
I noticed that too. Picked up a set today at West Footscray Bunnings, only 3 left. Last week there was 6-7.
Looking for a case too, if you pick one up, please do tell.
