    Nice find OP.

    FYI:
    Max. Torque: 40Nm
    Drilling Capacities:
    32mm (Timber)
    10mm (Masonry)
    13mm (Metal)

    • Does it mean max depth it can drill?

      • +3

        Width of the hole.

    • 13mm (Metal)

      I would love to see this budget tool drill through mild steel with a 13mm drill bit and just 3mm depth LOL

      • It would be fine! (once)

  • +1

    Whats the normal price?

    • +2

      $60

      • +3

        I can't believe how cheap this stuff is ordinarily.

  • -1

    Don't bother if using the hammer drill function, good as normal drill but not for hard surfaces. Had to upgrade to the rotary hammer drill (more expensive) but so damn good.

    This deal is good however if you want a cheap decent drill that can be good for flatpacks as well. Though even then I would say the impact driver is better as has the power for gym stations etc

    • +8

      Will get you out of trouble if you want to put a hole into brick or render, don't expect to be making lots of holes in reinforced concrete and you should be OK. The hammer function is more of a bonus. Might be OK for some people who already have big batteries, mine is only 1.5ah and I can make some small holes in concrete, if you had a 4ah could be OK. Also bits for 13mm chucks are much, much cheaper than sds bits, you can get a whole set for the price of one. Start with a small bit and finish with a bigger one.

      Is this in response to Aldi sale?

          Looks like you're the only one comparing in here, so….

        I've got to agree with Savvy. I love my Ozito PXC stuff as generally they're great value but I couldn't use the hammer function on this drill to put even 1 hole in brick to mount a garden hose reel.

        I bought the Oztio rotary and it chewed through it like butter.

        Both good drills, just for different purposes.

      • 3.0ah battery really will make this drill stronger than using 1.5ah?

        • The drill can, when drawing maximum current, potentially bottom out a small battery. I only have 1.5Ah batteries for my hammer drill, but I have 2, 3 and 4 for my impact wrench and there's definitely big differences between the 2 and even the 3 under high load. It will also mean you can drill for longer, and because this will be quite slow that matters.

        • +1

          It isn't really the capacity that's the problem.

          Cordless tool batteries often come with capacities like 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5 (Amp hours).

          Going from say a 2ah to a 2.5ah you would think would similar to going from a 2.5ah to a 3ah. It isn't though.

          Internally 1.5, 2 and 2.5 are 5 cells in series. The capacity of the cells just gets higher as you go along.

          The 3, 4 and 5 Ah batteries are actually 10 cells. Basically 2 banks of the same 5 cells the smaller batteries were made of. Being 2 banks in parallel means you can draw more current in total, more current means more power.

    • +10

      Still doesn’t qualify for a neg though, nowhere near IMO.
      Great deal for entry level users plus the benefit of good range of other tools within the same platform.

      • +12

        Literally use Ozito for work all the time, I am telling you what my experience is with this particular one and compared to others in their range. People deserve the info to make an informed decision, if they arent drilling into brick or concrete and just want a cheap spare drill then perfect

        • +6

          Literally use Ozito for work all the time

          These are not built for commercial use.

          You are better off with makita or high end bosch

          • +9

            @easternculture: protip. I know a heap of professionals who use Ozitos

            simply due to the fact they have 3-5 yrs no quibble warranty… you break it, you get a replacement no questions

            i watched a few of the guys i use construct a kitchen with ozitos… how hard do you think the tools are going to get hammered on a normal kitchen

            and this is obviously a 5 fig plus job

            for this kind of thing i doubt an AEG or DeWalt is going to do better

            i have the brushless version of this but really, this one should be fine

            • @tonyjzx: Ozbargain professionals?

            • @tonyjzx: They're just cheapskates.

              Like us :-)

              Pros doing MDF and such should be using Makita, for consistency and feel alone.

              That said, the only Makita I own I found in a council throw out. But everytime I use someone else's, I can see why they chose it.

              • +1

                @resisting the urge: These cheap drills are perfect for things like kitchens. They are also lighter to work with good for one hand in awkward position. Bunnings is everywhere.

                I don't know a tradie who hasn't had tools go missing on a site or even at the supermarket when stopping in the way home. The great thing about these cheap tools is they are cheap to replace and all the accessories like battery chargers are super cheap. You end up owning the a few more expensive tools and heap of cheaper tools.

                If your drilling concrete or metal I honestly prefer the older plugin drills they have so much more torque and don't chew through batteries like the cordless but maybe I'm just an old fart now.

                Seeing far fewer trades with all one series of tools now. Often tools for odd jobs are all cheaper Ryobi or ozito.

                • @811b11e8: Yea I run a 240V SDS for masonry still, too. Ol' skooler, there are great DC ones out there

            • @tonyjzx: Brushless version way more powerful than this ? How the brushless one compare to other professional brand ?

        • So what is the advantage of the $49 non-hammer drill over this? I'd wager nothing, and this is the better buy.

          • @xmail: The hammer drill has the ability to use percussion to help drill.

            • @doobey1231: That's an advantage of the hammer drill. What I am getting at is that even if the hammer drill component is supposedly useless, you can just ignore that and not use it and it's still works out cheaper than the non-hammer drill.

          • +1

            @xmail: Probably lighter and more compact.

        • Still your neg vote is against the rules.

      I've drilled hundreds of holes into masonry using mine. Great drill.

    • Why are you voting the deal as a negative and saying it's a good deal (for some uses)?

      Makes no sense.

      Yes sds is better than a standard hammer drill at drilling brick and concrete, doesn't mean all deals on hammer drills are bad.

    • Agreed. These are more for either drilling into mortar, or cement blocks. If you try and use it on hard fired clay bricks, you're in for a world of frustration.

      That said, even in brick they can be handy for small holes (<5mm wide). Like if you just want to hang a photo

    • I successfully installed a mailbox onto red brick with mine, but it was a struggle. I think that's probably about the limit of what it could accomplish - smallish holes of minimal depth.

      Doubt it would've even gotten that job done without the hammer function though.

      Thanks for this. Almost as good as the $20 deal from a year or so ago. Sold the charger for $10 on fb marketplace so hopefully I can do that again.

  • Much practical difference between this and brushless?

    • +1

      i have a few brushless ones from a few companies

      to me i think its… fashion?

      they are heavier, and the motor feels stronger smoother and they have high torque but a lot of times i'm not needing that much?

      i think if brushless if a few bucks more, go for it

      but i always have weak shit ones around for the smaller jobs.

      ie. use brushless on ikea or kmart shit and you'll ruin some holes, so to speak

        Longevity is the main thing i have read, as in brushless tends to last longer.

              @doobey1231: Real experience is a bit more useful than hearsay you've read…. so I'm happy that I've made you happy with actual knowledge.

              • -2

                @rooster7777: @rooster7777 anecdotal evidence is not really useful when it comes to mass produced products like this, its a single persons experience with a single set of tools. Id trust forums full of mechanics and engineers over rooster7777 who's got lucky with their set of tools. If you want to be especially picky, neither are really valid because they are just recounts from random people. But like I said given the context I am going to continue trusting my resource over one individual that i know nothing about.

                Like I said, happy for you that your tools have lasted that long. Thats about all the acknowledgement your comment is worth, feel free to do more research on the subject, plenty of articles and studies have been done that backs up my point.

                • +1

                  @doobey1231: The only engineering difference between comparable brushed and brushless tools is…one has brushes and is direct DC powered. Brushless inverts the DC battery power to AC, and operates with an ESC instead of brushes, producing more effective power.

                  Brushless technology costs more to manufacture, but has its power and electrical efficiency benefits. I couldn't be stuffed looking, but if ozito have brushed and brushless tools of similar quality materials, one will have more power, but there will be no benefits in longevity.

                  However, all manufactured products are NOT comparable… different prices relate to different quality standards of bearings, switches, casings, gearboxes etc etc. A prime example being Ozito vs say milwaukee. The difference between many models in these brands is NOT whether one is brushless or brushed. I have some milwaukee brushed drills and drivers that have had steady, sometimes hard use, for more than a decade.

                  The only failure I've had is an impact hammer/ anvil assembly….NOT the brushed motor. I bought these tools before brushless milwaukee tools were available - so their longevity is significant.

                  Feel free to give me the benefit of your solely researched knowledge of toolery which appears to lack CDF…. and your snarky "happy for you". I have no more words to waste with you.

                • +2

                  @doobey1231: Seems unlikely there are plenty of "studies" showing the longevity of brushed vs brushless cheap drills. Source?

                  Also anecdotally the only one of my cordless drills I have had fail over years is a brushless aldi one.

                  Imo the average home user isn't going to wear out the brushes on a drill.

                  Brushless do tend to be smaller, lighter and more efficient meaning longer run time per charge. Personal preference weather that matters for a drill. Imo it doesn't. High drain tools like a saw then yeah I'd try and go brushless. I rarely run a battery flat drilling, I run them flat all the time with my brushed recip.

                  • -2

                    @Duff5000: Here is a good one to start with - Its not definitive nor is it perfect but I am not going in to bat for the argument, Its really no skin off my nose if people want to argue the point that has already been made by people way before this discussion occurred, I am not spending any more time on it. You are both trying to argue against a pretty well established fact, neither of you have provided anything other than your own experience and like I said to the previous commenter, Anecdotal evidence doesn't mean anything, I dunno why you would bother mentioning it right after you asked for sources to studies, does not make sense to me in the slightest.

                    • @doobey1231: That's a study? Not even close. Brushless drills "operate without making any noise" right…….

                      I didn't argue against anything (other than your claim of there being studies). Your article largely agrees with what I said. Go back and read my reply, do you actually disagree with anything I wrote?

                      Why would I mention my only dead drill being brushless? Because it's relevant to the topic being discussed clearly. You didn't provide any better data, just an opinion piece that says "If we are searching for a drill to use rarely or for a specific work, then it is better to go for brushed drills".

                      I'm not claiming people should or shouldn't get brushless, I have both. It really depends on the user and the use case.

      • Brushless uses less battery for the same job.

        • agreed that like for like brushless is more efficient (uses less energy) and delivers more power…. but reliability is not an issue

  • So, I bought this for $60 a week ago… Anybody know if Bunnings does any kind of "we changed the price right after you bought it" refund or anything?

    • +7

      You buy the new one, and use the receipt from the old one to return it on next visit. Otherwise you return the old one and say it sucks, go buy a new one. But option 2 means they have to resell a used drill if that bothers you at all.

      • +1

        Did this today - Drove between the two closest Bunnings and saved myself 22 bucks, only took about 15 minutes extra.

    I have this. I like it but it's not very powerful, sometimes has difficulty even drilling a hole/screw into soft timber. Will probably get a more powerful one next time. Would not expect this to be able to drill a hole in brick wall or anything hard.

    • I like it but it's not very powerful, sometimes has difficulty even drilling a hole/screw into soft timber

      Whilst I agree to a certain extent, you just cannot push it hard into the wood, you have to go easy on it and it does eventually get there. The two-speed one I found is better. But for under $40, this is a pretty good drill.

      • +1

        Isnt this 2 speed?

        • Certainly is.

    • +2

      I have this drill. I dont think it does much worse than other similar spec'd hammer drills from my research. I learnt from YouTube that you have to expect to do a smaller mm hole before going to the intended size for these types—especially for masonry. Fine if your just a casual user. Maybe not if you are commercial.

  • Original $RRP price?

    • +1

      $59.98 according to PP

  • +1

    Thanks OP, got it as a backup for my AEG hammer drill and impact driver. be good to have something a little lighter. Already have a 4Ah battery so a cheap way to ensure redunancy and for smaller jobs around the place

  • +3

    I bought this drill over five years ago and it finally expired today. The battery is still going strong.
    Excellent value for money.
    I've just bought the brushless model (dearer).

    • Is there much of a difference between both models?

  • any drill bit recommendations pls

  • Thanks OP, this is a perfect low cost drill for brushing the toilet. To use the drill brush to clean the toilet and bathroom, you will need a low torque and low speed drill. And it's got 5 years warranty.

  • Very tempted to get a backup at this price. I think I have had mine for 4+ years. Can recommend.

  • I can say I am fairly a rookie when it comes to these tools. Can I use this for drilling screws on the plaster board in my apartment? planning on hanging my TV.

    • +2

      Drilling screws into a plasterboard will be fine with most drills. This one will be fine too as you can choose to turn on or off the hammer function. However for hanging a tv, you should look for the timber studs or brickwork behind the plasterboard to anchor it.

  • My Ryobi one+ drill is hopeless with 2mm/3mm drill bits.
    Borrowed my Dad's Ozito 18v cordless drill when pre drilling floor trim, prior to nailing.
    Lightweight, better chuck for smaller drill bits, was perfect for the job.

    I wouldn't dismiss this Ozito. (Caveat, not sure of exact Ozito drill model, but it's a few years old and 18v) (can't imagine they've changed too much in a few years)

  • I bought this yesterday and used it today with a 4 amp battery. It's pretty good, not as powerful as my mate's Ryobi but good enough.

    I had no issues drilling holes into tree stumps. The hammer mode made this much faster. It gets pretty warm and the vents are located right where I like to put my hand.

  • Silly question but this come with any drill bits. Or anyone recommended a set to go with it for Basic DIY

    • +1

      This doesn't comes with drill bits

    • Confirm it doesnt come with any, or a battery/charger. For DIY I would suggest a set of Frost metric HSS bits. might be around $50 bucks but you then only need to replace them individually as needed
