Good quality! – I've had this impact driver for about 6 years now and I have no complaints. I bought it to replace a Makita one that I'd lost, and as a diy-er every… Read more

time I go intending to purchase a Makita cordless tool but come out with an Ozito one because I just can't justify the price difference. This driver is great for weekenders and diyers like me. It hasn't quite got the same speed as a Makita or Milwaukee, but still has enough power for jobs like hanging plaster, installing decking, building a timber pergola with big batten screws, etc etc. It's been dropped, bounced and thrown from great heights but still goes strong, the switch works fine, battery connection is solid and doesn't make any funny noises!

For my diy – The Ozito 18V plays a big role for my home projects. The tools are lightweight yet powerful, making them ideal for drilling into wood and assembling… Read more

furniture. It has long battery life with a fast charger. I love the compact design, it’s easy to handle and fits into tight spaces. A fantastic, budget-friendly kit for any DIY enthusiast!

Not happy with performance – I bought the above and took it back shortly after regarding the chuck dumping the bits.The drill was changed without question.Now around 3 years… Read more

later and home handyman use I find that nothing happens when the trigger is pulled regardless that both batteries are fully charged.The only way to make it sort of work is to slide out the battery and reattach with the trigger partially pulled.If I let the trigger go it will not work again until I go through the same procedure.As a consequence I dont get any work done and the drill is in effect useless.Has anyone else had this problem.

I purchased a 3 pack, saw, grinder & drill which inc an impact driver via redemption. I received a driver bit with the drill and it doesnt fit my… Read more

impact driver. It has a long connection shank into the drill head connection, but the impact requires a short/standard connection shank. Thought this was quite strange, and expect a driver bit fitting the impact would have been sensible...

All good – Never have any problems, ordering anything through by Kogan in all the years I have use them Like chest freezer, fridge freezer, cordless hand drill

Used this drill for many jobs around the house, it's never let me down, a great little drill Show details

Have completed many house renos with this tool and its counterpart the impact drill and both have been great and still going strong after over 6 years ... Show details

Solid – All the power and battery time you need. Cant beat a Makita.

Battery loses power but is still fully charged – I bought the 10 piece cordless kit, which came with 3 batteries. Battery life is really poor on all 3 batteries. They are now 12 months old and its… Read more

getting worse. Drill dies after putting in 10 screws and will go through all 3 batteries within an hour. If it was only 1 battery playing up, I would understand but 3? The batteries seem ok when using the blower and tools that don't need the power.

Really disappointed and would expect a lot more from this brand.

The wrist breaker 5000 – If you buy one of these be prepared to hold on for the ride. I have used several of these over the last 20 years or so and they are brutal in low… Read more

gear to the unwary operator. One day I recorded a video of us putting a 152mm hole saw through the 12mm thick web of a welded beam not once but twice.

Xu1 xhd-500 does it have brush motor or is it brushless motor – I was just wanting to no if anyone knows if the xu1 xhd-500 does it have a brush motor or is it brushless motor if you can please let me know cos… Read more

when I am using it I can see spark from the vent hole I was just wondering if that is normal or not thanks you Brian

A solid drill, even drilling holes in bricks and harder materials like tiles, etc – For the retired who wish they were a pro handyman! Great for timber and the battery holds the charge for two hours of solid work. The battery needs a… Read more

good 12 hour charge even if the green light stays on. The secret is to buy high quality drill bits. I am happy with this product from Bunnings!

A failure for the work it's supposed to be designed for – I bought this 4 months ago and it has proved to be a lemon. Couldn't drill a 12.5mm hole in a piece of 6mm steel, the drive belts continually slipped… Read more

and were not able to be tightened enough to complete the task. This same task was easily completed with an AEG Battery powered hand drill. I will be contacting Bunnings, Townsville Central to request a return as it does not meet my requirements despite the advice of the Bunnings staff member who recommended it.

Model PT190101. Drill hardly used, works OK, No Manual? – There's a ring around the base of the chuck with numbers 1-21. What are they? I can't find a manual to explain them. The keyless chuck requires very… Read more

strong wrists to release the drill bit. There may be an easy way, but there's no manual to explain it. My drill has had only light use and still works OK. If you have heavy duty work for your drill you should consider spending more on a more professional tool.

Easy to use! – Replaced an old drill with this one and it has been easy to use, reliable and with a long lasting battery. Like one of the other comments, the color makes it easy to find which can be handy. Show details

Very versatile drill press for lightweight use – I bought this from Amazon Nov 2022 and have been using for several months. I make small items of wooden furniture. Pros: 1) variable speed - very… Read more

easy to change the speed for various size drill bits, particularly for Forstner bits or hole-saws 2) The table height is the same regardless of the size of piece you're working on. This drill is very easy to change the height of the pillar compared to changing the height of the table in a conventional drill press. 3) Electronic depth gauge. Most depth gauges on conventional drill presses are inaccurate and hard to read. This solves both those problems. It also has the added benefit that it can be zeroed. So need to subtract one depth from the initial height. Just press the 'zero' function when the drill is at the right height, and measure from there. 4) Depth stop gauge - for repeated holes drilled to depth (eg dowel holes), this allows you to concentrate on the drilling process, rather than eyeing the depth gauge. 5) No steel -> no rust. I understand that steel is a machine surface and is dimensionally stable, but it means you've constantly got to maintain the work surface. This drill has an aluminium base, which is also much lighter. 6) Large drill stroke (90mm) for a drill this size. 7) Lightweight, easy to move around

Cons 1) The wheel handle is not very intuitive to use. 2) This drill is for lightweight use. I've used it hole-saws and the pillar tends to wobble back and forth. So for heavy duty work, this is probably not ideal. 3) Is a bit louder. It contains a universal motor, which allows the variation in speed, which is a bit louder than typical induction motors on machinery.

I haven't had any problems with accuracy such as those mentioned in other reviews. I've only had it a few months though, so time will tell.

Overall, very happy with it and glad to see the end of my old 5-speed drill press.

Great drill – Nice little compact impact driver. Lots of good little extra feature such as LED light, belt clip etc. Has plenty of power and good control using… Read more

the trigger carefully.

The battery life is good though I've had more luck with some after market batteries I bought than with the original batteries.

Does as awesome job – Easy to use. Quick start up, fits SDS tools so it makes it easy to buy things for it. Its a 2 in 1 tool. Which is awesome as i can leave this a jack hammer or a hammer drill Show details

Outstanding – I've owned this cordless screwdriver for over a year now and it has absolutely excellent. It is amazingly powerful considering its size. The battery… Read more

lasts very long and is quick to charge to full. The build quality is outstanding (as you would expect from Bosch) and will easily withstand a few accidental drops. The 'bit selector' is very intuitive and you can swap or replace the bits easily. The included case is also excellent. I would thoroughly recommend this product to anyone looking for an excellent all-rounder electric screwdriver for around the house.

Amazing drill, regret not buying this sooner! – I wish I bought this drill sooner, I previous had an Ozito Hammer Drill, and using that drill to drill into masonry, it was an almost impossible job,… Read more

some holes took me 30-60 minutes as the drill would always overheat and I would run out of physical energy. This drill, for the same type of hole, I could do it in 10 seconds with very minimal energy. If buying this for masonry/brick, I would highly recommend this drill.

Bought this as a kit with 2 X 5 Ah batteries, charger and a hard case.

A fantastic upgrade to my previous driver – At the time of my review the new 12v version of this model is just came out so it's a bummer. Despite me being upset about the 12v, let's dive into… Read more

the 18v version of the infamous CXS driver range. It is a powerful little gem, I have been working with it since October 2023, using it for various jobs and I am extremely happy with it. It's a replacement for my previous driver (10yo 12v AEG) and yes you can't compare the 2. It's not playing in the same league. I drive metal screws, decking screws, plasterboard screws... You name it I probably use it. I love the centrotec system despite being expensive to add to but it works great and the set I bought had some very useful implements. The right angle has been fantastic and has pull me out of a few tricky spots. The fact is that you can switch from drilling to driving in seconds. I don't need a second drill with me, this is the only one I can have and it won't be an issue. The battery is a 2.5a and it last a whole day of driving screws. The electronic clutch is a hit, I drive consistently the force I need so achieving a consistent depth is easy. The working area has a decent amount of light from the drill and it can stand upright and is very stable.

Would buy it again, yes, I love the power it has and all the extras you can have. Yes it's expensive but it is durable and if I need a more powerful one I do have another drill...

This is a really good basic drill for jobs around the house. I wasn't expecting much for $50 but have just installed heavy duty drawer runners on a… Read more

whole kitchen with no trouble at all. Also went well attaching a panel into tough hardwood. Obviously it's not for proper tradesmen but it's great for the home and comes with a rechargeable battery so really good value.

very bad quality – Do not buy, chuck shaft broke of on the first screw i tried to drive, went back to the shop, got a replacement and exact same thing happened again. Been a complete waste of my time.  Show details

Bought on past DeWalt good quality BUT.....! – Bought the drill March 2021, it had developed a horrible crashing sound when the trigger is released, now December 2022 it will not select high speed… Read more

range, despite registering the product when bought, DeWalt customer services don't want to know me because I don't have proof of purchase, after a load of searching I found the receipt This was originally a critical review but after a bit of phoning etc., I have my CDC795 supposedly repaired at no cost to myself even the shipping costs were covered under the warranty but I don't think it is repaired correctly. I was disappointed that after 18 months of light use my drill broke down. It was identified by the approved repairer as a simple gear selector failure, it is now working but still has the original problem which I believe caused the selector to fail so I expect it to fail again. I think my brief association with DeWalt may be at an end. .

Great value – Had it gifted to me secondhand. Used it extensively. Worn out the spade bit. It died on me after 2 years Could not expect more. Show details

wheel nut (roughly 100 removed). . To securing 300 coach screws into a retaining wall. I never thought I would use this as much as I have. If you are looking for a high quality impact wrench without blowing your budget grab a ryobi one. You won't be disappointed

So we’ll Engineered – The quality and functionality of the tool is next to none

What a beast! – After trying to remove my bobcat wheel with a breaker bar and not being able to get ANY bolts to even budge, I bought this thing. 1600nm nut busting… Read more

torque. OMFG. It was so easy. I just pulsed the trigger and it was like magic. Well worth the $ especially if you do this often. FYI bobcat wheel nuts were 1-1/32" or 26mm which was hard to find an impact socket for but I got it all from Sydney tools, up near Armadale in WA.

Practical heavy duty rotary hammer, Bosch GBH 4-32 DFR – So, I am often amused by the fact that Bosch use the letters GBH as an entry for their rotary hammer descriptions. If ever grievous bodily harm,… Read more

could be inflicted on bricks, some concrete and then the Bosch 4-32 is guilty. Light enough for the average bloke or person to manage with a good safety margin the capability of this machine is very wide indeed, and more importantly it comes as a kit, with a standard chuck included as well as the SDS + chuck, lubrication grease for the drill bits, and assortment of SDS plus bits of high-quality as well as a number of other extras. As of July 2022, pretty typical price is around $700 Australian. It is a 240 V tool, which to my mind still has an advantage in terms of being able to run literally all day without interruption and provides maximum power output consistently all the time. I have a Bosch 18 V rotary hammer as well, a small capacity one which is fantastic, but when really heavy hitting Is required the 432 is always ready. It fits my hand well, extremely well balanced, easy to use, very little vibration particularly when using Bosch 4 Cutterhead masonry bits, which are my favourite for drilling into masonry and concrete, it is not hard to go up the ladder with it takes no effort to drill a hole typically it’s using my hands is from 8 mm to 22 mm holes and in all these cases it is an effortless quick and comfortable tool to use. It is now a couple of years old and I am satisfied that its performance, reliability and capability genuinely warrant a five star rating and comments made in public reflecting my user experience.

I have a number of Bosch corded rotary hammers, I personally feel based on 20 years of use of them, that bunch really do make outstanding corded rotary hammers and as the inventors of the SDS system their Rotary hammer drills are just brilliant precision instruments which are complimented By the outstanding development if it’s the Bosch put into their SDS plus drill bits. I find of the combination outstanding and I also find and believe the value for money proposition with the 432 and its supporting gear is excellent, are you truly robust reliable capable machine which if anything the advertising for it sells it short, it is an outstanding machine that performs to the maximum not consistently all day. Anyone who buys this unit will The extremely satisfied with it
