Share my experiences on tolls designing and building stuff for the enthusiastic DIY person. Loving learning from others and appreciate the you tubers that have shown me so much.
I just bought a van and need a drill to start building it out. I didn't have enough after vicroads to buy the Ryobi so got the Ozito. Just need it for soft wood.
I have one the load senser cuts it out to easy cutting. They are only good with a flapper disc or light grinding. Works better with a 1mm cutting disc. It will last years because it can't be loaded up so I bought a Dewalt to do the real jobs.
God damn, the comments on here. Use the damn thing for whatever you want to use it for. That impact driver has a 5 year warranty. So i say make it well worth your while
Excellent presentation, thanks mate. Perfect handyman tool. Trivia : Ozito (Ozitools) brand was bought up by Einhell a European manufacturer. The killer feature of Ozito is the very much affordable cost of their batteries compared to practically anything else.
My purche of the 5 kit (saw inc) comes with a quick charge base, it tell you when battery full on charging base, Saw ok, but the bigger diameter blade would be better.
The Ozito - is completely Useless - Like my friend Always says "what U pay is what u get" the Blooody thing does not even tell U when its fully charged - Both the "Red" Light & "Green" are On all the time - whether its Fully charged or Not - !!! Blooody Rubbish !!! its probably Australian Made , thats why !!!
This video, (along with the passionate comments below) has helped to answer my question that I came for: can you use sockets to undo high torque bolts such as lug nuts? I conclude that the answer is yes, but not ideally suited for regular heavy duty use. I see that in the Ozito range, the brushed motor impact driver used here is the basic model with 150Nm torque. The brushless model has 180Nm. Meanwhile, their range of 18V impact wrenches range from 215Nm to 400Nm
In over 50 years of driving, I have never once used a torque wrench to tighten wheel nuts and not once (even on outback roads) have I lost a wheel nut.
I've used the Ozi for a few years now, and it's fine with most cutting blades. Mine has had an absolute flogging, and looks it. The one issue I've had, which may mean I have to replace it, was when I put a 'rescue' (or multi-material cutter) blade on it, and used it to cut reinforced concrete. It kept jamming and cutting out, and resulted in the angle grinder developing a real 'clunk' and kick starting and stopping it, which gives me the idea that the gearing is shot. NOT the grinder or blade fault, all mine...it was a big ask for a little grinder. I have run a rotating razor disc on it to cut channels in the frame of a deck to allow water drainage between the frame and the deck facing boards - that was necessary because the tradies doing the deck didn't think it through and hadn't water proofed the framing. Word of caution regarding those 'razor' discs, they are basically a circular saw blade to fit angle grinders...they are as dangerous as you can get, as the grinders are NOT circular saws, and work on a completely different dynamic. Hit something hard, and they WILL kick back, and that kick back is straight into your face. If you think of getting or using one, definitely look up the injuries they can cause on the 'net. My heartfelt recommendation is to NOT use them, there are safer alternatives, even if that means ten times as long using a hammer and chisel. Back onto the Ozi grinder though, well worth the investment. I am also running a makita 125mm grinder, but most times I'll use the little Ozi.
I'm a joiner and strictly Festool and Makita only - having burned through all of my dogshit Bosch tools years ago. I bought a couple of Ozito drills purely because I had some Einhell batteries because I wanted a 36v mitre saw that I didnt have to worry about being nicked or rained on. Have to say, considering the things cost me £20 ad £37 each they're easily as good/bad as the offerings from Chinese Bosch and the cheaper Makita tools. If al my tools were nicked I'd probably only rebuy the Festool tools and go all Einhell so I'm not worried about the money I have in them. They do the job as well as any other tool. Einhell definitely seem better quality that the Ozito
Wouldn't the difference in the batteries amp hours cause a difference in power output? If you had a 2.5 amp hour on the Ryobi and a 5 amp hour on the Ozito, there would be a completely different outcome, isn't it?

Had mine for 6 years still going strong, let the grinder do the work and it will cut and grind. Also bought the 125mm brushless Ozito grinder, cost twice as much but lighter and better performer. Now I cut with the 125mm and grind with the 115mm grinder.
Wanted to remove the motor fan from my Ozito Grinder so that I can access the rotor and give it a clean...Having trouble removing the fan which plastic/polymer....Anyone can help???....
One of my respected engineers once told me….never, never never lubricate wheel lugs. They rely on the friction between the bevel on the wheel and bevel on the lug stud area as well as the friction between the threads on the bolt. Lubricating any part of a wheel stud defeats the purpose of torquing the wheel bolts and
Ryobi chuck will not release a half-inch drill bit, I lost two expensive bits, tool the drill back to bunnings, they refunded the price of the tool but I lost 28 dollars worth of Sutton bits, never gain, it DID have heaps of torque, never tried OZITO,
@@JuanGarcia-oz6sg what? Dont recommend the impact wrench for lugnuts even though that's what they are for because impact drivers die after a few uses???
I have had one of these for over a year. Has been very reliable. Use with a couple of 3Ah or 4Ah batteries, one on a fast charger and one on the grinder. Use it for all sorts. Sharpening a mower blade. With bronze wire brush for cleaning off rust. With various grit sanding disks for stripping many paint layers off an old house. With cut off disk for cutting up old junk metal. Wouldn't be without it now. Always use with safety glasses, ear muffs and sturdy gloves. And rotate the guard to protect against flying sparks/debris.
I do scrap metal metal and found one in a rubbish pile I had to clean.I took it home, cleaned, battery in and works a charm. Very handy to grind different metals to see determine what metal is underneath.
Can you either link to the tools or include the names in the Description. I can't see the name of the torque bar or the torque sockets. I prefer to look at items that others have recommended rather than go searching for what you might find to be total crap when it is delivered. Thanks. 👍
Now I have to seriously consider the 18V angle grinder. The 240V one, 125mm, is $25 which makes it a lot cheaper but less mobile and makes the decision a bit more complex but I am liking the portability and warranty of the 18V range more and more alluring. When I bought the drill & driver kit it was AUD$169 and came with fast charger and 2 x 1.5Ah batteries. I also wanted a hand vac to clean up the cat's litter and even buying a dedicated battery for the Ozito skin only one it was still cheaper than the Black & Decker with a *One* year warranty and trying to replace the dead battery in the B&D was a pain especially when I slipped with the new AliExpress $15 battery and shorted out the electronics. So to get round the issue I got the Battery Kit of 1 x 4Ah and 1 x 1.5Ah plus a fast charger for $115. With the Drill & Driver kit I now have 4 batteries (3 x 1.5Ah unfortunately) and two fast chargers so the dead 1.5Ahs can be charging while I am busy killing the other two. Bunnings didn't have any 3Ah batteries when I went looking however the Ah to $ ratio is the same on all their batteries except for the 5.2Ah. If the 5.2 used the same ratio it should come out at $89 instead of $99 that they are flogging them for. While I would like the longer lasting 5.2Ah one I am a tad weak in the wrist/arm and find the 4Ah is heaviest one I really want and I suspect the 3Ah will be the sweet spot for me. 1.5Ah on the drill and driver has worked well at present but I haven't been doing any heavy drilling or driving. What was the little red hand held you were using to check the battery when you were grinding? Was it an infra-red temp sensor to check on the battery temp? Just curious.
@@Rampart.X that’s like saying a moped is a motorcycle and you need a motorcycle to go on the motorway you can’t just take the moped in the motorway it’s not powerful enough
Never heard of the brand, but lug nuts is kinda overkill for impact drivers, they are mostly designed as a carpenters tool. Electric impact wrench is probably more suited, but dunno if they make one? Drivers are awesome for smaller stuff like interior work and plastic covers though! In any case, love the accent. Makes everything sound happier! Impect droiva! :D
yes I agree I wouldn't recommend for all day if its your job but for this price to get off the occasional wheel at the side of the road when miles from anywhere its a great tool at a good price.
Using one with a 5.2ah battery and get about 20min of run out of it. I found it stalling often and had to backoff the pressure I was putting on it and it was fine. For the price it's a handy unit for quick jobs.
Great tip thanks Strangles. Yes always the best idea when keeping for a while between uses and I guess for most this will be the case. So thanks keep that tension off the spring
