Ozito Industries was established in Australia in 1993, and is committed to delivering value for money power tool products. Ozito power tools are sold exclusively through Bunnings Warehouse throughout Australia and New Zealand.

They ensure the quality of their products by performing rigorous tests on each. These tests include component comparison with competitors products, drop and impact testing, powered up switch cycling, and temperature rise and endurance testing. These tests are carried out by Ozito’s own research and development facilities, and SGS (Australia) Pty Ltd (a world renowned testing authority).

It goes without saying that anyone that works in the construction industry will end up with a garage, shed or factory full of power tools. But having initially opted for the university path, it wasn’t until nearly nine years into my career that I had any real need to work with my hands or think seriously about buying any power tools. Of course I had collected a range of power tools – either passed down from my grandfather or purchased during one of my frequent trips to Bunnings while working around the house – but I knew they weren’t good enough for me to be able to rely on when working on site.

Having spoken to a few builders and tradesmen who already had a considerable collection, I settled on five major criteria – in order of importance – that I would use to answer these questions and decide which power tools I should buy:

The full range of tools that are available is not the same for each brand. Some smaller or international brands have a limited range or don’t sell their full range in Australia, which obviously makes expanding your collection difficult. Major brands like Makita, DeWalt and Milwaukee have extensive ranges and provide all of the main types of tools you would expect to find available, with differences being in the specialist trades they target. Some of the considerations I made when comparing ranges between brands included:

12V, 18V and 36V – for the work I am likely to perform, I am far more likely to use 18V and 36V tools. The 12V range is less important to me than it might be to an electrician doing fit-off work or someone doing DIY projects around the house.

Tools such as lights, fans, radios, coffee machines, drills, grinders, saws, blowers and vacuums service just about every trade, so it’s unlikely the major brands won’t provide their own version within their range. There are genuine differences between the ranges offered by major brands for tools that focus on gardening, metalwork or demolition. The difference in the range of power gardening tools and 36V tools was a major factor in my decision to select Makita over Milwaukee or DeWalt.

Quite often the most expensive model on offer at Bunnings was not the flagship model. When simply comparing the price for a Makita drill from Total Tools and Bunnings, it seemed like Bunnings’ prices were identical. The drill they were actually selling though was one model down from the flagship model. For the same money I would get a better model if I bought it from Total Tools.

The warranties for tools purchased from Bunnings are not the same as for tools purchased from a tool shop. Some of the tools at Bunnings only came with a DIY warranty and would not be fixed or replaced in the event they failed when used for commercial purposes.

The level of expertise and advice provided by tool shops is generally far superior. Tool shops have strong relationships with sales representatives from all the brands they stock, have regular trade presentation nights and are aware of the full range of tools on offer; regardless of whether they stock them in store or not. In my experience, they are more willing to provide you with brochures, discuss tools they don’t traditionally stock in store, provide additional information or to call the sales representatives to answer detailed, technical questions.

Another obviously key criterion is how the tools perform. Just because a particular brand offers a tool in their range, doesn’t mean it’s going to be any good. Some of the considerations I made when comparing performance between similar tools offered by the different major brands included:

Assuming the tools being used are all top of their range, I wouldn’t expect to see any noticeable difference between the major brands. There are countless YouTube videos comparing Maktia’s best impact driver to DeWalt’s and Milwaukee’s, with very little difference between them. I do think however, that there is a difference in durability between Makita’s entry level impact driver and Makita’s flagship model which is covered more in the Price section below.

Comfort and versatility are big considerations and I do think that there is a noticeable difference between some of the brands with some of their tools. The weight of the tool and how that weight is balanced can have a significant impact on how you feel at the end of the day, as can how you grip the tool and position your body needs to be in to use it. Attachments are also generally provided to improve comfort; such as a side handle for a hammer drill that can be the difference between avoiding a serious wrist sprain or fracture while drilling. While only minor, small differences in design may restrict how you use the tool in tight spaces, off a ladder or overhead.

Each brand provides a variety of battery capacities, with bigger not necessarily being better. Bigger batteries are much heavier and take far longer to charge, so often I would rather swap more frequently between three smaller, lighter batteries than two larger, heavier batteries. Regardless of the brand, tools such as grinders and blowers are going to run batteries down far quicker than fans or drills.

While not necessarily a consideration that swayed me toward a particular brand, batteries and chargers are definitely a reason for me to stay with one brand. At last count, I have fifteen 5.0ah and eight 6.0ah batteries, with two single, three dual and two quad battery chargers; none of which would be of any use if I bought a Milwaukee or DeWalt power tool.

I found the cost of new power tools an interesting consideration to balance. There is not a great deal of difference in cost between the brands, but there is a difference in cost between the various models offered within a brand’s range. A hundred and fifty dollars difference between a base model and flagship model is not an insignificant difference, especially when multiplied out over ten or twelve tools in a package.

In my experience, when you need to rely on your tools day in, day out, you absolutely get what you pay for. There is no material difference in the performance of a base model tool compared to a flagship tool when working at home in your garage. Yes it may take longer to drill some holes or make the necessary cuts, but the job will get done and likely to the same standard regardless of what tools you are using.

Additional power, torque, electric braking, revolutions per minute etc all make a difference when you are completing the same task for hours, days or weeks at a time. My experience has been that flagship brushless tools last longer and are less likely to require replacement parts over the life of the tool.

As with most things, the more you buy at once, the more you are likely to save. Whether a large upfront investment is possible will obviously be determined by your available budget, but most brands will allow you to customise the packages that are on offer. This is another reason why I recommend purchasing tools from a tool shop instead of Bunnings, as a tool shop is far more likely to offer better packages and to customise packages. End of financial year sales and promotional events offered by tool shops are another great way to save money when buying a number of tools at once.

In the six years that I have been using Makita power tools, I have been incredibly happy with the performance of each and every tool, as well as the service I have received from a variety of Total Tools stores. I have always purchased the flagship models, and am yet to replace any of the tools that I originally purchased; with only minor scheduled servicing and replacement parts being required over that time.

Improving the state of your home is always a rewarding experience, especially when you choose to do it yourself. For the sake of ensuring your renovations are ‘The Block’ worthy and can be completed as conveniently as possible, it is always a good idea to invest in power tools.

There are many different types of power tools that can be used for all sorts of renovation tasks, such as gardening, painting, polishing, drilling and cutting. For the sake of speeding up tedious processes and improving your accuracy, purchasing a few power tools for your renovation project may be worth considering.

Power tools are often sold at hardware stores but not all will carry the best local brands or the specific type of power tool you are looking for. As a result, it is imperative to research where you can purchase the power tools best suited for your renovation and home improvement projects, and at the most affordable prices.

In Australia, there is a wide mix of local and small hardware and power tool stores, as well as big corporate brands. For example, Metcash is Australia’s leading wholesale distribution and marketing company and owns IGA as well as other reputable hardware businesses in the country such as Mitre 10, Home & Timber Hardware, Hardings Hardware and most recently, Total Tools.

Bunnings Warehouse is another popular national business owned by Australian conglomerate Wesfarmers, which sells power tools in addition to other outdoor living equipment and hardware tools. If you are located regionally and would love to support a small local business, there are also certain stand out independent power tool shops that may interest you such as Just Tools, F & K Power Tools and Sydney Power Tools.

Offering the ‘best brands at the best prices’, Sydney Tools is a long-established hardware store in Australia, known to sell only the most trusted power tools available on the market. Family-owned and founded in 2001, Sydney Tools currently operates online (delivering nationwide) as well as in 40 stores across New South Wales, Victoria, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, and the Northern Territory.

While all the power tool shops mentioned in this blog are certainly worth visiting and buying from, there is no need to stick to just one of them. Diversifying your power tool stores is a good way to ensure you always get the best deals and power tool purchases, as you can cross-reference brands and prices, as well as join multiple loyalty programs to get the best deals.

Different power tool shops will have different reward programs and purchasing from a series of power tool stores will ensure you are more likely to be rewarded for purchasing with them some way or another. Instead of sticking with just one store, keeping an eye on multiple can also help you to save money during separate sales and discount campaign periods.

To guarantee you are saving as much as possible, it is also important to keep up with the online shop campaigns of different power tool stores as well as their in-store campaigns. Some sales may only be offered through their online store, while other discounts are only applied to in-store purchases. It may also be helpful to factor in shipping fees when purchasing power tools online and whether or not such fees are worth paying, as opposed to spending time visiting the store physically.

To help you keep up with the multitude of power tool shops and all of their independent sales and campaigns, it may be a good idea to sign up for their online newsletters. You can also contact different power tool stores through their social media channels, emails, phone numbers or website contact services to keep up to date with their campaigns in more detail.

Sticking with just one power tool brand as opposed to multiple power tool stores can also help simplify things for you if you do not have the time to keep up with different shops and prices for the same power tools.
