Ozito (Einhell) Tool Talk

Bunnings have a 8 amp battery, $199 aud

Yes i know, but Einhell had it for about a year or 2 before Ozito claimed it. It is better to wait for Ozito to get the products because they turn out to be much cheaper than Einhell products, i guess its to do with Ozito always having the rep for budget diy tools.

@@Nornical1500s Think he's referring to the Ultra battery 5.2Ah and up dual voltage as compared to the Power XChange ones. There's also another Ozito battery which is *not* a Power XChange and is a slower charging one and a lot cheaper. Called the Ozito *Black Series* and a 4Ah is $48 See there's the *Blue Series* 4Ah battery which is IP57 rated and there was three digits in the price. Will need to look at what IP57 is because that isn't waterproof but is likely a dustproof model.

@@josephking6515 The blue series is new and splash proof. The red normal series will have ultra written on their bigger batteries and eingell call the the exact same thing. The black series was meant to be limited edition but theyve kind of just hung around.

If you avoid the four letter naughty words for the first 30 to 60 seconds of the video then it reduces if not stops your videos from being demonetised. You may or may not be aware of that but just in case you don't I thought I would mention it. When I got my first Ozito 18V tool (Drill & Impact) kit it came with a 4Ah and 2 or 1.5Ah battery and since the 1.5Ah piss ant is fairly useless I went looking at battery prices and found up to the 4Ah the price increase was linear until the 5.2Ah. A 1.5Ah was half the price of a 3Ah. A 2Ah was half the price of a 4Ah. A 1.5Ah was 2.7 times cheaper than a 4Ah and so on. The 5.2Ah was a shitload more expensive and I wish I was energetic enough to look up the prices of 3 years ago but we'll use today's ones. 4Ah is $69 and the 5.2Ah is $119. That's *$50* for the extra piss ant 1.2Ah extra capacity. WTF??? Look at the 6Ah and the 8Ah and the price is far king nuts. 8Ah is now $179 and I can purchase a 2 x 4Ah battery with a Twin Charger for $99.98. 8Ah of capacity for half the price of a single battery yeah the pack costs $99 but the Twin Charger as a standalone costs is now $69.98 and is out of stock at some Bunnings. The charger is a 3A charger and I would actually like the newer 4A charger which cost $39.98 for the single version but charges the batteries a bit quicker. For $119 their is a 4A x 4 battery version but IIRC you can only charge two batteries at 4A at the same time but not all four batteries if all four are connected when it drops to 3A. (Please correct me if I'm wrong and I could be). It also shits me to tears the variety of tools that Einhell has compared to what we are seem to be begrudgingly provided with here. Ozito is a budget brand so a 4Ah or over priced 5.2Ah battery really is sufficient IMO. By going to these new dual voltage batteries are they catering for their new 36V range or is Ozito going to move towards the tradie and end up having the price skyrocket and the budget range will be the Blue case crap that is appearing more and more available? One good thing is due to the EU and their electronic waste abhorrence manufacturers seem to provide blown out diagrams of the tools and you can purchase parts to repair them. I don't know if the parts price make it financially viable to repair or not. I wanted a spare arbor lock washer for my Ozito 18V multi-tool which is just a pressed washer that holds the blade in the arbor but Bunnings wanted *$18* for a 26mm diameter and 0.7mm thick pressed washer. I wanted a spare because that thing is so easy to drop if your fingers are cold and if it goes into the slightly long grass it's almost history and you tool is useless unless you have the Quick Release connector on the blade and not the Standard connector which doesn't require the "arbor washer." Is $18 for a pressed washer a good deal to be able to use a $64 tool? Or is it better to buy a new one and get the 5 year warranty? I ended up buying 5 spare ones on eBay for $14 and they were 3mm thick so less change of dropping it. Then I learned about the Standard connector *not* needing the lock washer. 🤦‍♂ At what price does a repair become financially not viable and it is cheaper to get a new tool and the present 5 year warranty. Might be worth a video all on it's own or I may be communicating through a hole in a lower rear location of my anatomy. 😲 Apologies for the short novel but just pissed off with the price gouging screw over we are presently being inflicted with. *Thank you* for the video. 👍

First of all, I know that I should avoid swearing in the fisrt 30 seconds of my videos ive been doing youtube on and off for about 10 years ive been around the block but thanks. The second thing i want to mention is the 5.2Ah batteries never used to be $119, they used to be $99. I purchased 4 of them at a time when they were that price I guess I was just lucky to find them at that price before they increased. It is true that Ozito only have about 80-90 tools while einhell have about 200. We seem to be getting there but very slowly. I always check the einhell site to see what we could potentially be getting but theres no defenite answer to know what were getting. As far as i know Oztio probably wont move to a 36v platform like ryobi, makita, etc have. Einhell dont even have a sole 36v platform they still rely on 2x18v stuff. I understand that the prices might seem high over here but it would actually be more expensive to buy einhell badged stuff as they hold einhell in a higher regard in Europe than we do ozito. As to do with chargers Einhell have had the quad charger for a couple of years now and I was eyeing that off to see when they'd bring that to Ozito and yes again the twin charger has increased about $15 since i brought one. That blue case crap you were referring to called xu1 i think is actually made by Ozito to be an even cheaper shittier range of tools. I like ozito i understand they arent the best tools but i would never go buy that blue crap.
