Is that because Ryobi nowadays is massively overpriced since Bunnings has killed off any other reseller of Ryobi and now sets prices accordingly?
Yes
We all let it happen.
Bunnings told us they were the cheapest, and we all believed them. The little guys couldn't compete.
I used to like going into our local, but he had a heart attack (Something to do with 1 pack of cigs a day). His wife took over, and didn't know much. She did her best, but you could see it going downhill.
Ryobi is best purchased in kits, especially the promotion sets they are generally the best bang for buck
I was going to post this one as well. It's a good deal and perfectly adequate tool for up to 20mm or so masonry rotary hammer drilling. Just don't take too much notice of the charger price if you're planning on selling it as these things rarely go for over $30.
Greart deal. THought I was doing well getting the skin for $169 delivered on Grays but this with Battery and Charger is a top deal
I only ever need a rotary hammer drill about once every two years to drill maybe half a dozen holes. This seems overkill but I can’t seem to stop myself buying it
This is a great deal… but i already got an corded sds max so think ill pass. Has been really handy around the garden. I only rarely use it… but it's a tool u need imho
I was waiting for a cheap ozito deal but I think I’ll bite this.
I have a 6ah DeWalt cordless hammer drill that gets used about half a dozen times a year on bigger jobs that could do with a 4ah or less battery and the 6ah would probably go better on this bad boy
Ive got the ozito, its fine, but id rather this. Great deal.
Sorry for a dumb question, can I use it for screwdriving?
Yes… Please video it when you do
😈
Please, god, no….
Thanks you. Just wondering why the Ozito PXC 18V 13mm Brushless Hammer Drill Kit(https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-13mm-brushless-ham…) can be used for screwdriving but not this one?
20 Torque Settings…
An SDS does not have "Torque Settings"
@AMLagonda: Thank you. As need a drill for both brick drilling and screwdriving, will wait for the ozito hammer drill deal.
@audreamer: I'd be very surprised if the Ozito has the grunt to drill into brick - I have a similar Ozito cordless hammer drill and it barely made a dent in internal brick walls. I ended up using a mains powered, rotary hammer drill to make holes for masonry screws. Also went through 2 masonry bits.
@ajm: Thank you ajm for your own experience. I watched the the Ozito cordless hammer drill at 22 seconds of the video https://youtu.be/RZiVXtIdjXk?t=22, and thought it was capable for drilling a brick. Now I am thinking about buy this DeWalt …
@audreamer: It's an excellent price, especially if you're keen to buy into the Dewalt cordless stuff. You could pay less and get an Ozito one for about $100 but that's mains powered. Depends on whether you're going to get a lot of value out of the Dewalt kit.
@ajm: Thank you very much ajm. Your comments are very helpful, I just bought it. You are right, it is an excellent price. Just started my journey of Dewalt, haha.
@audreamer: A hammer drill may be able to do the job but may just take a more time and effort. If you're only make a few holes and don't need extra tools/brands, I dare say the Ozito hammer drill can get you across the line. Just need to ensure you're using masonry drill bits (non-SDS). Of course, the SDS hammer drill is going to be more effective and easier but whether it's worth it depends on the job.
If I need to just drill few holes into brick, say 10mm x 5cm depth, I sometimes just carry the hammer drill rather than having to carry additional tool + more drill bits/sets.
@DONMAI: Appreciate your opinion DONMAI. I am still waiting for a good Ozito hammer drill deal, as I need a drill to do screwdriving. I have brought a Bosch 91-Piece V-Line Titanium Drill Bit and Screwdriver Bit Set from last deal (https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B00GGKMNTO/ref=ppx_yo_d…). Do you think I can use it with this DeWalt SDS Plus Rotary Hammer? Thank you.
@audreamer: No, those are regular drill bits suited for drill chucks you'd find on a hammer drill.
The "SDS" part is the important bit here (pardon the pun). SDS stands for 'slotted drill shaft' and this Dewalt drill uses "SDS-Plus" that's compatible with these Makita 17 Piece SDS Plus Drill & Chisel Set (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/755883).
In the link above, 'harryhobbes' comment has a link to a site that explains SDS well
@DONMAI: Thank you DONMAI. Learned so much new terminology today :). I find OZBargain is a very good community for not just find the bargains, but also a lot of great people like you and ajm is willing to help others!
Also just wonder, now I have bought this Dewalt drill, I only need a drill for screwdring, does Ozito hammer drill, impact drill or the normal drill will do the screwdring job better? Thanks. Sorry for the so many noob questions.
@audreamer: Hammer drill is probably most versatile that can do most jobs. It will be able to take all those drill bits for drilling hole, driving screws, unscrewing/screwing screws, can also be used with mixing or sanding drill bits.
The rotary hammer drills will drill or chip into masonry way better and impact driver will drive a screw into timber way faster. If these are tasks you'll be doing a lot, it might be worth having them.
I grab the hammer drill and this ozito drill (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/754813) most regularly for most tasks, mainly drilling holes and screwing/unscrewing. I've got a set of dewalt tools including a dewalt rotary hammer that I used during extensively over few months for outdoor work with bricks and concrete and haven't needed it since. The Impact driver I occasionally use just to slap some timbers together.
Since I've already committed to Dewalt, I personally haven't used Ozito powerXchange power tools so I may be totally wrong with how capable they are, but I would guess they are half decent. I clicked this ad because I was surprised how cheap the kit is! Very much worth it if you need it.
Probably worth checking out some youtube videos if you're interested, I'm sure there are plenty of very informative ones out there.
@DONMAI: Thank you for sharing your experience and insights on different types of drills. Your comments have been very informative. I will definitely check out YouTube videos.
Stupid thing is the battery on its own is $125….
Stupidity is buying them alone at $125
Can anyone explain what 26mm vs 22mm means in the context of SDS rotary drills and not just the 4mm in length?
https://www.dewalt.com.au/product/dch133n-xj/18v-xr-brushles…
https://www.dewalt.com.au/product/dch033m1-xe/18v-xr-brushle…
DCH133n = 26mm
DCH033m1 = 22mm
The DCH133n is recommended up to a maximum size masonry bit of 26mm - about 1 inch.
The DCH033M1 is only recommended for a 22mm bit - it has slightly less power (Joules per hit)
At the end of the day this is a very cheap hammer drill intended for use a few times per year, not for regular trade type usage.
Thanks, what I thought, but the "Ideal for drilling anchors and fixing holes into concrete, brick and masonry from 4mm to 22mm" on both added confusion.
I would look at a bigger model as this one it a bit underpowered.
Underpowered for what? Home usage? Drilling a dozen holes in brick and then not being used for a year?
How would you compare this to an ozito?
I have the ozito SDS and I rarely use it. Maybe used it 4 or 5 times in the last year with a newish house so I am struggling to justify the upgrade. The ozito one does the job and destroys any normal hammer drill 10 times over.
Just looked it up and the ozito is actually 2.2j which is more powerful than this DeWalt.
Which ozito? The one that is $200 without battery?
@choofa: Yeah. Think I paid 129 when I got it. I would definetly buy the DeWalt if I had the two options but as I already have the ozito it isn't a upgrade.
2.2j for a corded unit is average
Yes. Underpowered is the key word. A 4ah battery is a gimmick for Rotary Hammer drills, reciprocating saws, circular saws, impact wrenches (not drivers) and angle grinders.
Try a 12v Milwaukee Rotary Hammer drill with a 2ah battery and then with a 6ah battery. There is usually a reason why quality batteries are more expensive than the skin.
A 4AH has enough juice above threshold to be far more useful than a 2.
You can get plenty of board rips or grinding in.
If you’re not working at DIY pace and actually semi professional I’d agree with you.
My first decent cordless tools were dewalt 18v with the old nicad batteries maybe 1.7ah? The only tools which I noticed a lack of power and would reach for a corded model if available were the angle grinder and circ saw. The impact wrench was a beast and the recip perfectly adequate for everything I asked of it.
The big difference was a 16ga nailer that I never used as it was useless in anything but soft pine and even then the battery needed to be fully charged. With an adapter and flexvolt battery it's now unstoppable;)
I own the Ryobi SDS which is way under powered compared to this and it's been great, I couldn't see this letting anyone down for anything DIY and having the freedom of cordless use is the best
couldn't resist! i wanted the battery
Can you put spade bit in these and use to loosen soil?
Yes this will take spade bits.
Is this in-store only (now)?
Appears so. I did find that Trade Tools have it for the same price delivered.
Nope, I just ordered a delivery, got confirmation email it is being processed.
Yeah I saw it’s back available for delivery now!
Buy the cordless
I'm anticord in some way though
But honestly I think the PXC stuff is better quality than the ozito corded based on my limited experience
I've been waiting for that PXC sds drill to get cheap again but jumped on the DeWalt as I already have some kit
Speaking of which, I'm pretty happy with the service as the DeWalt arrived today and surprised with the hard case. It will be interesting to see how it goes with the4ah battery and the 6ah I have from another kit
Did the Dewalt come in a Tstak hard case?
It came in a case. I assume its a Tstak? . It was able to connect to another Dewalt case I have.
@lomie: Yes.Yellow latches.
I have a 805 Hammer drill that came in the same type of case as this SDS I got.
Wow! Same price as buying the Ryobi 18v Skin.
