    Great deal :)
    Confusing they describe it as an "impact" drill in the description, when its a "hammer" drill (as it is correctly described on the package)

      Given it's only 500W that's probably why it's called impact over hammer. Normally they'd be like 800W or 1200W.

        It's called impact over hammer because it's an impact driver not a hammer driver. All the boxes are clearly marked as hammer, there's just an erroneous price label.
        An impact driver impacts on a vertical circular plane, whereas a hammer drill impacts horizontally on a horizontal plane. They're two different products with two distinct use cases, and the power consumption has nothing to do with their naming convention.

          is it strong enough to drill brick/concrete? or is it one of those waiting forever for the drill to go through with smoke and lightening flashes for extra effects?

          impact vs HAMMER vs ROTARY HAMMER -all different products?

          This looks strong to me - https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-1500w-5j-rotary-hammer-dri…
          is it going to be whole heap stronger

          • guidedlight on 19/09/2022 - 13:10

            @GuitarNeo: A hammer-function on a standard drill using a masonry bit will work on brick/concrete, but it is slow going. If the drill bit is smoking you need to stop. Always have a small cup of water to cool the drill bit to stop it getting too hold and deforming.

            A rotary drill is far better, and there are less problems with the drill bit heating up because it's quite fast.

            But really, for a DIY'er I would purchase a better quality drill with a hammer function.

            • GuitarNeo on 19/09/2022 - 14:58

              @guidedlight: Thanks Guidedlight.

              Need to drill 8 odd thickish screws into brick wall and 3 into concrete next weekend.

              When you say drill with a hammer function - You mean something like this would work-
              https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-hammer-drill-skin-…

              or do I need something nicer.

              what would be the difference in time, effort by using $99 Ozito 1500w 5j Rotary Hammer vs Drill with Hammer function? Will the rotary run through brick and a drill with hammer be super slow?

              • guidedlight on 19/09/2022 - 15:38

                @GuitarNeo: Yes, that Ozito 18v Hammer Drill would work to drill into brick walls. It would just be slow. It might take 1 to 2 mins per hole, versus maybe 20 seconds with a rotary hammer drill.

                When using a standard drill, the biggest issue is that the drill bit will heat up and get very hot. So you need to take the drill bit out to frequently cool it down in some water.

              • AshleyLiang on 19/09/2022 - 17:11

                @GuitarNeo: I used that exact Ozito hammer drill in the link to drill a few holes on bricks and it took me approx. 30 mins per hole.

                Much of the time I waited for the drill bit to cool down, which was just getting too hot very fast. Even though every time when I smelt the smoke I stopped and waited, I got one drill bit (https://www.bunnings.com.au/kango-8mm-x-100mm-masonry-drill-…) damaged after I got bored with pausing often and pushed it longer.

                I didn't use water/oil to cool down the bit though as the instructions suggested not doing so. It might depends on the bricks as those I dealt with seemed extremely strong. I would consider getting something different i.e. a rotary hammer drill if I were to drill more next time.

              • Th3Saviour on 19/09/2022 - 19:57

                @GuitarNeo: chalk and cheese, get the rotary hammer,

                its faster, easier and well justified at that price.

                but also buy a quality bit, ive had some issues with cheaper brands from Bunnings.

          Was just an assumption because Bunnings calls it Impact and Ryobi calls it Hammer. End of the day doesn't change anything for me.

          • NashaG on 20/09/2022 - 14:20

            @Clear: Yeh I understand, but to the average Joe who wants to drill a hole into brick, I'd hate to see them walk out with a Ryobi impact driver

    • sexy on 19/09/2022 - 11:34

      It confused me when I spotted the price tag yesterday. I wouldn’t use it to drill through masonry or concrete, unless you have lots of time and drill bits to kill. If there is any chance I would use a rotary hammer instead.

    These corded drills will last you 25 years for home use so spend a bit more and get the 1200W one if you intend to drill into masonry, which is what hammer drills are for…

      If you want to drill into masonry you'll want to get an SDS+ rotary hammer.

    • apey2000 on 19/09/2022 - 18:58

      Can confirm. Am using a Ryobi drill that is 25+ years old. My dad passed it to me. Hammer action is pretty crap and it's no good at drilling concrete, etc. But it shows no signs of dying. It's a beast.

  • fans on 19/09/2022 - 10:28

    good enough for most house DIY jobs…

          OZBARGAIN spirit is about sharing bargains and deals with most number of people - people who end up using those things (or just buying and keeping for "later" ;-) ). People like that Scalping Gummie buy a whole heap to sell for profits - taking away from others who might have needed it and benefited from it

          Also fully illegal- Its the vibe of it -the constitution, its Mabo, its justice

          • NashaG on 20/09/2022 - 14:25

            @GuitarNeo: I agree with you, it was a tongue in cheek comment. I disagree with the practice, let us all share a bargain and leave the thriving economics to the big corporations!

        • Clear on 19/09/2022 - 11:07

          Buying cheap from OzBargain and reselling for twice as much? Yeah I guess economics is one way of defending it haha.

          • GuitarNeo on 19/09/2022 - 11:09

            @Clear: NASHAG, If you are new to OZBARGAIN look up broden thread - hopefully it still exists

                @tomsco: nice one tomsco, this one's going straight to the pool room :-)

                P.S. broden happened 12 years ago!! gee, I am getting old

            • NashaG on 20/09/2022 - 14:23

              @GuitarNeo: Been around a few years, where am I looking for this Broden?
              I understand it's against all moral principles and Ozbargain principles, but essentially it IS simply just economics at the end of the day. Death to those who try to benefit from economics on a Gumtree or an International scale, they're all thieves!

          • NashaG on 20/09/2022 - 14:26

            @Clear: Oh I ain't defending it. I usually string them along for the sale then confront them at the end

      Masonry bits; 4.5 mm, 5.0 mm

  • typhon on 19/09/2022 - 13:23

    I have this drill and would not recommend it for any use.

    The main issue I have is the very slow trigger response time, particularly upon release when the momentum of the motor keeps its running for far too long. In addition to just feeling awkward during general use, it makes loading and unloading the drill bits extremely frustrating in comparison to my other corded and cordless drills.

    I definitely regret the purchase and it is now gathering dust on the shelf.

  • guidedlight on 19/09/2022 - 13:25

    Is this actually variable speed? I see the ticket says that, but the product box or description doesn't.

    I'm keen to pick up one of these to use it as a mixer, if so it needs variable speed.

  • 50perCent on 19/09/2022 - 15:16

    Beware if you're going to use it on masonry. Takes ages to drill through bricks, took me half an hour for 3 holes. It was brand new, and I think that simple job pretty much wore it down, as I only got to use it another couple of times, for small jobs, before it died. 500w is definitely not enough fort that.

    • guidedlight on 19/09/2022 - 17:06

      It definitely shouldn't take you 30 minutes to drill 3 holes… that's way too long. I suggest that the drill bit was blunt or it overheated (causing it to become blunt). Even a cheap 500w hammer drill should be able to drill a hole into brick within a couple of minutes.

      Every 30-45 seconds, you'll need to pull the drill out and dip the bit into a cup of water, then put it back in and keep going. This way the drill bit will stay in good condition.

      • 50perCent on 20/09/2022 - 23:20

        Thanks for the tip. Will remember that for next time I'm drilling into masonry.
        Though, I still think that this drill is lacking power for this kind of job. My drill bit was brand new.
