looking for a rotary hammer drill 240v with anti kickback function so i dont break my wrists. i have a cordless one but need a 240v one with decent power.
my old ozito has packed it in today, had it 15 years or so.
not something i will use every day, maybe once a week. don't want something over the top in price, just average.
I have the ALDI version. It has done a lot of work over the years, both wrecking and drilling. Maybe you'll get lucky on a Special Deal rack soon. If you can't wait, get another Ozito. No point spending much on such an "imprecise" device. You've probably collected a bunch of bits over the journey, so make sure you get a compatible machine, eg SDS etc
I agree, the Ozito packs a big punch especially for demolishing. For a more refined tool consider a Metabo or a Bosch Blue. I have had a Metabo KHE 26 for maybe 20 years. A word of caution if like me you are left handed; the trigger lock was often accidentally activated. Be sure to check this. With the Metabo you still have to hang on real tight until the clutch engages. It’s a bit of an advantage to be left handed actually as far as wrist injuries go. I once had a cheap GMC rotary hammer lock on accidentally, rip out of my hand, bend a 12mm drill and wound the lead unplugged before I could get to the plug
looking at this one now., this any good??

I would say on the basis of my limited experience with only one of each that yes the 'dropped down motor' ones are more powerful. That was certainly my experience with the Ozito (drop down) and the Metabo KHE26. The Ozito comes into its own when lifting tiles etc as a hammer chisel, but is a little cumbersome for other drilling tasks other than concrete/brick. Whereas the Metabo often struggled as a hammer chisel but still ate up concrete and was more refined for use on wood/metal etc
Bunnings ryobi or ozito.Quote:

Haha. I get the point, although none of those reviews are for any 240v drill from ALDI, let alone for their 240v rotary hammer drill. It's served my sometimes infrequent but often demanding needs for over 15 years.Quote:
