In what appears to be a competitive response to Aldi deals next weekend the Ozito PXC 18V Pole Hedge Trimmer - Skin Only is reduced down to $99. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the corresponding Pole Pruner skin only, nor does there appear to be an actual combo with both attachments in what would be a proper match for the Aldi deal.. At least i could not find in my area.

If you do want both hedge trimmer and pruner attachments the Aldi deal is clearly superior price wise, even with cost of also buying the small battery kit. However if you don't mind forking out a little more $ to stay within the Ozito system, you can buy the Ozito PXC 18V Pruner Attachment for normal price $57.98. This is what i have done today for convenience sake as i prefer being able to deal with Bunnings for warranty (i.e. walk in swap over warranty replacement if required).

EDIT 04/01/2022: Price appears to have dropped a dollar to $98.

    Is the aldi one top heavy too?

    • Xizor on 02/01/2022 - 14:47

      My understanding is yes. Bunnings usually have them in store to feel the weight etc. From what i tried they all seemed top heavy, some come with a strap your meant to use to offset it a bit i think (i just put my big boy pants on or not tackle it all at once). My corded Ryobi is top heavy also fwiw but tbh the cord is more annoying than the weight to me. My use is only modest (a few hedges and trees), if i was using it on an acreage or something i'd put a lot more research into that before buying.

        I have this harness now which works well. Prior to that, would spread over a few days.

  • AndyRoo on 02/01/2022 - 14:49

    Cursing… I need it but only need the pruner. Already have the ozito batteries, would be great if I could just have got the ozito one for the same price :(. I think they are pretty much identical aren't they.

    • mskeggs on 02/01/2022 - 15:00

      Maybe check again in a day or two, they might reduce the pruner too.
      I'm in the same boat.

      • cheaponos on 02/01/2022 - 15:21

        Same here. Is the hedger tool interchangeable with the pruner?

        • mskeggs on 02/01/2022 - 17:06

          Yes, see the link for the head only in the description.

    Has the regular length hedge trimmer ever gone on sale? I don't need a pole as it's all within reach but have never seen it on sale

    • Xizor on 02/01/2022 - 14:54

      Pretty much everything Ozito will go on sale sooner or later… question is will it be available where you are and is the saving worth the wait.

    • Xizor on 02/01/2022 - 14:58

      A bargain is only as good as what is available, especially if you need it. You could do a lot worse bargain wise buying other brands/products.

    • mskeggs on 02/01/2022 - 14:59

      It is good gear for the price, much better than the non-pxc ozito.
      There are a lot of weekend warriors who buy an AEG or Milwaukee to hang a picture, because they fall for the marketing that spending big on tools you use occasionally makes you more "serious".

      Dad still uses the 7.2v Makita drill he bought in the 1980s, which is a pretty remarkable tribute to their quality, but technology has moved on.

      • Xizor on 02/01/2022 - 15:17

        It's a funny thing perception vs reality, value vs brand rep, knowing what you need and what you don't. Granted some Ozito products are crap, but many are great bang for buck. My neighbours are all in other brand eco systems and i think they are slightly jealous i seem to breeze through gardening tasks spending probably less than half of what they do. Then again they have a lot more coin to waste so no sympathy!

        • HelpMeiCantSee on 02/01/2022 - 15:49

          The torches are brilliant, like $90 for Milwaukee or 25 for ozito, and imho the ozito has better light output.

          I buy ozito tools for the kids or once off projects that don’t need power/durability, otherwise generally Milwauke. Just bought a $129 drop saw for my son to use because I don’t want him ruining my milwaukee one, and it weighs 1/3 of it. Only ever gets used on stuff smaller than 2x4 so it’s perfect

      Wait, what did you call me?

  • trevor99 on 02/01/2022 - 15:20

    If it's not top heavy it's probably pretty weak I guess. I bought a 36v Makita with a hedge trimmer and pole saw attachment and extension pole for around $1200. It's really top heavy but is quality and tough. Will build up your arms.

    • MuddyClear on 02/01/2022 - 16:03

      Will build up your arms.

      Or break your back

  • bobvegas on 02/01/2022 - 15:39

    "SKIN ONLY"

    What does that mean, I gather the way people are talking, no battery, no charger? If it is is, why don't they say that?

    • Edamamme on 02/01/2022 - 15:46
      +1

      It means you get the tool, minus the click in battery that powers it.

      Usually the batteries you buy for the tool will work for multiple other tools within brands ecosystem of tools. So if you already have paid for batteries, you can keep adding tools to your arsenal, and not have five million batteries in each one you need to keep charged (:

      • bobvegas on 02/01/2022 - 15:55

        Yeah the system makes sense, just haven't heard skin only term. although I"ve seen a lot of Aldi tools say they had no battery, i'll check for the skin only term

          Yeah I’m still a tool amateur, so it’s definitely good now you know. Wouldn’t be fun buying. Tool thinking it came with a battery!

  • terrywang on 02/01/2022 - 15:49

    Spent $245 on the Ryobi version (kit with 2Ah battery) in late Nov 21, it seem to have slightly bigger cutting capacity. Can't wait to trim the hedge that my next door neighbour doesn't give a shXt, otherwise wait for this is better, will do the same job for cheaper.

  • Ham Dragon on 02/01/2022 - 15:57

    Aldi have a 2x 20V lawnmower kit coming up soon, I'm hoping there's a competing Bunnings deal. I'm spewing that they got rid of the 2x 18V steel deck brushless mower last year. Surely it will be replaced?

    • Xizor on 02/01/2022 - 16:03
      +1

      They didn't get rid of it, but its seasonal/promotional not all year round (and it has a wider cutting area than this Aldi one). I bought one about 6 or so weeks ago. I posted in the Aldi thread and a few other ppl went and bought it last week but seems there was barely any stock left.

      • Ham Dragon on 02/01/2022 - 16:48

        FML, need an electric mower but the plastic ones look tacky, and the 2x 18V isn't brushless. Have to wonder why it isn't part of the regular stable.

        • mskeggs on 02/01/2022 - 17:00

          I bought steel deck mower just before xmas.
          Maybe search a few stores online?
          EDIT: it looks like it isn’t on the website anymore. Might be worth ringing around.

          • Ham Dragon on 02/01/2022 - 18:17

            @mskeggs: That's if they answer the phone! Found one at a nearby store but of course the clowns here are just palming me off to each other.

        • Xizor on 02/01/2022 - 17:55

          Only thing you can do is lookup the item code in the Aldi thread/Ozito website then call Bunnings and ask which store might have it or if you can do a special order.

          • Ham Dragon on 02/01/2022 - 18:18

            @Xizor: Yep I've got it, their store inventory for where I am at says one in stock but of course it's nowhere to be found & no one knows or is the slightest bit interested in helping me a) confirm its existence, or b) find the bloody thing.

              @Ham Dragon: Ask them to check for others stores then once you find one that physically confirms see if you can do a delivery order over the phone via their special orders desk. I did this for an edger once.

              @Ham Dragon: Did you get that sorted out? If this is the one you're looking for then you'd have better luck finding them at Acacia Ridge as they have more than low stock (going off your past posts if that's the area you're looking in)

              • Ham Dragon on 03/01/2022 - 12:51

                @Applause: Thanks man that's the one. I was looking on the north side (Stafford & Newstead) but I'll check Acacia Ridge out. Stafford checked store stock and reckoned the only place with one was Newstead (it wasn't, they had no clue). If I can't find it, I guess I'll just buy a petrol mower for the same price that mulches as well.

              • Ham Dragon on 04/01/2022 - 12:42

                @Applause: Managed to find the steel deck one at Acacia Ridge, QLD. They had about 8 still for sale at the end of the row. Appreciate all your responses 👍🏻

    Have had one of these for a few years, it's great as a hedger and pole saw. Impressed me a lot. The biggest downside is that it's heavy especially if your using it for a while.

  • MagicTsukai on 02/01/2022 - 16:14

    Would a ROCKWELL 18V 1.5Ah LITHIUMTECH Batteries work with this tool?

  • watwatwat on 02/01/2022 - 18:06

    Bunnings look to have removed the popular multi pack of ozito tools which was $249 on ozbargain. Would have been good to pair with this..

  • OzBoganYeah on 02/01/2022 - 19:08

    are there any deals om pole saws? any new models that are actually light and not top heavy?

    • redpen on 02/01/2022 - 22:44

      I would avoid any pole saws that are light and not top heavy. they need a bit of weight to cut down.

  • FicklePickle on 02/01/2022 - 19:13

    • Xizor on 08/01/2022 - 16:26

      Lucky bugger!! That 4 in 1 is a promotional item as i understand and only randomly available. If i stumbled on all that for that price i'd probably buy for the batteries and to have backup tools for future… or to not have to swap the attachments haha. Already got the line trimmer at a separate item but that is a fantastic price!
