Looks like this popular deal is back. Bunnings is on a Ozito roll with batteries and now drills.

From Bunnings website:
18V Compact Drill Driver
18V Impact Driver
2.5Ah Battery & Compact Fast Charger Included
This cordless Compact Drill and Impact Driver kit from Ozito’s PXC range is perfect for a multitude of DIY jobs around the home. The drill driver is great for drilling holes and fastening screws, whilst the impact driver is a champion at driving bolts and screws. Pair the two together to power through a range of jobs such as building a deck, installing gutters, or assembling furniture.

With a keyless chuck on the drill driver and quick connect chuck on the impact driver, accessory changes are quick and easy. The integrated LED work lights in both tools provide visibility in low light areas, whilst the sure grip handles and variable speed triggers provide comfort and control while you work.

The included 18V 2.5Ah battery and compact fast charger means you can pair these with some appropriate bits and you’ll be able to get started straight away.

Note This is not the brushless version however very good value given the battery, charger and tools.

    Would the impact wrench be strong enough to undo nuts on cars?

    I need to change some engine mounts and also good to more quickly rotate tyres.

      Definitely not.

      Even ozito's impact wrench isn't very good for automotive work.

    • Switchblade88 on 11/08/2022 - 21:38

      Loosen with a breaker bar & socket then spin off the nuts with this would be ideal.

    • samehada on 11/08/2022 - 23:18

      A short piece of metal pipe as leverage is quicker and much more powerful to undo the nuts om your tyre.

    • whitelie on 12/08/2022 - 05:42

      It's an impact driver, not a wrench. More aimed at driving in screws but as said, if you crack them with a breaker bar, this will then undo them quickly.

      • placard on 12/08/2022 - 08:20

        Ah k. Thanks I'll keep looking for an impact wrench then!

        • kale chips suck on 12/08/2022 - 08:58

          If you refer to an "impact" you'll cause confusion: when shopping look for a "rattle gun", or just "a rattle".

          I have the brushless impact wrench and can say it definitely does undo wheel nuts on a car… easily in fact.

            @petepurple: Yep, ditto. The ozito brushless with at least a 3ah battery is the real deal. I've compared it to many others, cordless and air powered. It's a "normal" 1/2" rattle gun.

            • Mat_Lab on 31/08/2022 - 09:17

              @bowjjj: When I used a 1.5 amp battery and actually returned the tool.

              But when I tried again with a 4 amp battery, it is a beast!

    • rifter on 12/08/2022 - 10:23

      This is 150Nm max. Brushless version is 180Nm. Ozito impact wrench (not driver) also brushless is 215Nm.
      Car wheel nuts are typically between 100Nm and 140Nm.
      And not uncommon for some to be incorrectly overtightened. To be safe always check your manual.

      • edrift on 12/08/2022 - 11:21
        +1

        Unless the nuts are very loose, there is too much play in the impact driver socket adaptor to transfer the torque effectively to the socket and nut. I have tried it before.

        I now own a brushless impact wrench that does the job. Even then, if you use an extension bar, it loses some torque because of the extra play.

  • OzBoganYeah on 11/08/2022 - 21:51

    What's the difference between this kit and a set that has brushless drills? And why is brushless important /preferred?

    • edrift on 11/08/2022 - 21:57
      +2

      Brushless are more energy efficient so more powerful.

      But these are fine for DIY use.
      If you want more power with these, use a 4ah or larger battery. That'll be better than the brushless version of these with the smaller 2.5ah battery

      • Duff5000 on 11/08/2022 - 23:23
        +3

        Just to be clear that's true generally speaking. A better quality brushed will often be more powerful than a cheap brushless.

        My brushless ozito seems marginally less powerful than my Fatmax brushed.

    • TightG on 11/08/2022 - 22:00
      +1

      Brushless generally have more power and use less juice. They are also longer lasting and require very little maintenance.

      Brushed are not that bad at all especially if you are a DIY user and want value for money.

      • GnarlyKnuckles on 12/08/2022 - 03:05

        Can someone please explain to me in 'dummy' terms what the practical/mechanical difference between 'brushless' and (erm) 'non-brushless' actually is … and why it is important/has ramifications pertaining to power, price, etc.?

        • Duff5000 on 12/08/2022 - 09:35

          https://www.protoolreviews.com/brushed-vs-brushless-motors/

          If it's just for occasional use around the house don't really worry about it. The efficiency difference would probably be handy in high drain devices like saws or lawnmowers. In a drill though? Meh I have both and really it doesn't really matter.

          On tools every day then sure, spend the extra.

      Mechanical vs. Electronic Drive
      The primary difference between brushed and brushless motors is that brushed motors are mechanically driven and brushless are electronically driven.

      In brushed motors, the stator (stationary part) contains permanent magnets while the rotor (moving part) contains electromagnets. Carbon brushes in physical contact with the commutator in the rotor transfer the electric voltage to it. This voltage creates an electromagnetic field in the rotor. By continually flipping the polarity of the magnetic pull via the commutator, spinning motion is achieved. The design is simple but has its disadvantages:

      Less efficiency
      Hotter
      Shorter life span
      Requires more maintenance
      In brushless motors, things are flipped. The rotor contains the permanent magnets and the stator creates the electromagnetic field. Instead of brushes, an electronic controller creates a three-phase variable current that powers the motor’s coils in succession. This forms a rotating magnetic field in the stator that powers the rotor’s magnets and creates the spinning motion.

      There are a few disadvantages of the brushless design:

      Requires electronic controller
      More expensive
      More complex
      Which Is Better: Brushed or Brushless?
      Both designs have their advantages, and neither is necessarily better. When it comes down to it, cost is probably the biggest factor. Brushed motors are mass-produced and less expensive. The advantages of brushed motors beyond price are:

      Simple to operate
      Reliable
      Available in many sizes and ratings
      Easy controls
      Good on lower duty cycles
      If your application requires a greater level of control and utility outweighs cost a brushless motor may be the better option. The advantages of brushless are:

      Precise speed control
      Better suited to continuous or long-running duty cycles
      Longer life
      Less maintenance
      High efficiency
      While it is possible to use a controller on a brushed motor, the cost may make a brushless motor a better option.

    Regular price. Ozito advertise this as limited promotion, but my local has these stocked pretty much year. round.

    Having said that it's not a bad entry into the ecosystem, but I'd advise an additional battery so you're not swapping all the time

    • GnarlyKnuckles on 12/08/2022 - 03:06

        So when you buy a ozito battery it will work with ozito

        So generally people buy tools that match their existing battery "ecosystem"

          Will battery adapters allow people to merge ecosystems? I am with Ozito but recently bought a Makita 18v trimmer and an Ozito-to-Makita adapter.

    I have abused the hell out of my ozito driver and it won't quit. Bought a backup ozito in case it does. For the price it's excellent. The drills though, two have quit on me.

    • GnarlyKnuckles on 12/08/2022 - 03:14

      'Quit on me', 'skillets', etc. …

      Lately numerous posts on OzB have reminded of a catchy tune that was banged out live regularly on Brunswick Street (Fitzroy, VIC) in the mid-1990s by an 'angry' band.

      100 'cool points' to any OzBer who can name that tune :)

    ❓❓❓❓❓
    Question. Anyone experiencing the chucks don’t last with Ozito drills?
    I have two drills the brushless ones that had this issue twice.

    • edrift on 12/08/2022 - 08:26

      How so? They get jammed or they don't tighten anymore?

      Are you referring to the plastic or metal chucks?

      • Mahalo on 12/08/2022 - 15:33

        I took it back to Bunnings and they told me the chuck was gone. So basically when you use it it becomes lose and keeps on unlocking. The second one is starting to do the same.
        The chunks eventually need to be replaced but I have other drills that I bought from Aldi and they have lasted longer than the two Ozito ones and still going strong

      • Mahalo on 12/08/2022 - 15:35

        Chuck is plastic in the outside and metal inside just like the one on this deal.

    Are they having a sale on Ozito range?

    May pickup this kit, as I'm constantly back and forth leaving a drill or driver in the house, then need it in the shed and vice versa.

    Anyone know if their cordless nail gun is worth it? Or do you need an airtool one? Prob mostly for woodworking projects, but maybe for DIY deck build in future.

    • BargainEnjoyer2022 on 12/08/2022 - 15:38

      I have the cordless nail gun.

      It's fine for trim, but it only takes Brad nails up to 32mm.

      Since it's spring powered, you need to hold it firmly when nailing else it won't drive the nail fully into the wood, particularly if it's hardwood.

      For any structural work you won't be able to rely on it because it only supports 18 gauge nails.

      It doesn't particularly like angles either, so you'll be limited to 90 degree nailing.

      Having said that, it's way more convenient than hooking up the compressor.

      cordless nail gun is worth it? …. maybe for DIY deck build in future.

      I'll preface this by saying, just my opinion: Use screws when you do the deck. Nails are a bit faster to put in but you will be fixing them forever.

      I used the kreg deck jig : https://www.bunnings.com.au/kreg-deck-jig-system_p0242713

      Amazon had the jig and the screws cheap some time ago. Came up well.

  • agentsmithy on 31/08/2022 - 10:10

    Can anyone recommend some decent low cost bits for this drill/driver combo? I don’t own any currently. Use is just for every now and then DIY, will not be used that often to be honest. Hence don’t need something too over the top.

    Thanks in advance!

  • crazym0nkey on 24/09/2022 - 22:42

    picked one up at Acacia Ridge QLD, for $75.

    It had the specials price tag, but it didn’t scan at check out, they checked and adjusted price.

    • Punkboy on 25/09/2022 - 16:47

      I'm waiting for them to clear them. They're still around at a lot of stores. I'll keep an eye out or maybe someone can post a clearance or sale label
