Ozito PXRSS-400
Verified8 reviews
is a little bulky but what got me to give it a 1 star is the fact that you have to press a small button located near the power button at the same time as the power button in order for it to work which makes it very hard to use, so basically the only usefulness it would have would be for pruning small branches. total waste of money
Great for around the house – Ozito cordless reciprocating saw Is perfect for around the home , strong enough for almost all jobs . Comes with a great price and easy to use. Only downside is you have to buy battery separate still good price for saw and battery. I would recommend to ant do it yourself handyman.
RUBBISH. SO many design flaws, poor build quality and terrible reliability – The sales guy as Bunnings hardware convinced me to give Ozito another go--'they've really raised their game' he said. So, I bought one of these. Within a couple of months, the saw blade guide fell out and was lost in the bush. I went to Bunnings to buy a replacement and discovered that this single part was 80% of the price of the entire saw! I… Read more
complained and they gave me a new saw. Within a few months, this one died. Well, it works for about three seconds and then it stops. So after the 2nd one died, I put the battery and the saw guide on the old one and used it for a while. Within a few months, the handle that secures the battery to the saw cracked due to a design flaw, now the battery falls out every time I turn it on. Tried to fix it but to no avail. Next, one of the safety switch buttons fell out. Then, the spring-loaded mechanism that locks the blade in place doesn't have a tab on it to make it easy to take the blade in and out so you have to take your gloves off every time you want to change blades. The plastic on the battery case broke after about six months so I had to replace the battery. The list goes on. NO, Ozito hasn't raised their game -- they've just make the tools LOOK better and they are still RUBBISH. No more Ozito products for me. Twice burned. Never again.
DON'T – Bought about 3 months ago Stopped after a month - suggested banging it to get it working - worked but stopped shortly after. This indicates brushes Rang bunnings to get brushes - not produced and not available This can only be returned for a replacement More junk going to landfill so will be demanding my money back Every other brand carbon brushes are easily replaceable by the owner But not this pile of junk DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT Show details
more Ozito rubbish – Build quality appears good and 5yr warranty suggests it might last First the trigger lock started jamming - couldn't turn it off - dangerous actually much mucking around getting it to run and stop Then the motor stopped - in all it lasted about six charges over three days Didnt last a week - high quality? - you judge 5 yr warranty - no - they wont replace as it had seen some use on jib Show details
Easily Does What I Expected – Unlike their pruning guise recip saw option the included blade is fairly not top-notch. But it seems to do the job OK. Blades are cheap and I got a set for varying tasks. I had some thin aluminium sheets that needed cutting up for removal as well as some thin piping for the same. This thing romped through those tasks. It's also handy for pruning… Read more
thicker branches that my pruner orientated saw is not comfortable with, and for the price why not I thought. The chainsaw can now get used even less, which is a good thing both for safety and often also for ease of cleaning after. I just don't use anything enough to want to pay for trade quality and the lightweight of this tool is also appreciated when it's performance is plenty for what I need. I can't comment on how long this feels like it will last or an average lifespan of Ozito motor brushes (this being a brush option) apart from to say that anything I have had from Ozito has worked as expected, and keeps going for the occasional use I give the tools. This tool feels as good as anything else I have had from them and has the usual gold brick 5-year in-store warranty.
Ozito Power – This unit is well balanced, quite powerful and versatile. I bought a set of extra blades and now use it heaps for light metal, timber and plastic as well of pruning the shrubs in the garden. The batteries were purchased separately. Show details
Lightweight and simple – This reciprocating saw does what it is meant to do. Cut stuff. Build quality is good and feel light in the hands. With a 1.5ah 18v battery you can do a far bit of cutting before you have to swap batteries. With the quick charger, 1.5ah battery only take 30mins and the range of batteries sizes of 3.0ah to 5.2ah which will keep you going for longer… Read more
on one charge. It is a rebadge of the German brand Einhell, thus German designed while build in PRC (China). It comes with a 5 year warranty for the tool and a 3 year warranty on the batteries. Overall, I am very impressed with the saw for its price. It is defiantly a DIY tool, from a DIY tool range in competition with Bosch Green, but sits up on the higher end of DIY tools. Like most power tools now, the battery is interchangeable with other tools of the same range. But its low price and high quality make this tool something to consider when looking for your next DIY tool. Just be aware that most of them are skin only (which applies to most brands) so perhaps it might be worth purchasing the drill driver combo.
