I have written before on this forum in praise of my Ozito random orbital,sander, which I have had for at least ten years and probably closer to fifteen. Done lots of work and cost nothing to buy. I have a small need for an impact driver. I see tHat Bunnings have an Ozito impact driver with 150 mm torque, 2 18 volt 1 hour charge batteries and price tag of $150. It may be an awful waste of money, but I am going to take the chance. I also have two old Ozito corded drills which have seen many years of weekend warrior service and are still drilling on. One suffered years of abuse in my Dad's shed before it was set free by the United Nations and given refugee status with me. Great man my Dad but cruel on tools. Anything that can stand a term of imprisonment with him must be a bit tough.
So for $149 I think the impact driver is worth the risk. Buy the end of 2015 I will know. A pergola and a deck and a kitchen are in the pipeline and so I am either making a good buy or wasting some money.
On a related matter in the last week I have built a big timber storage rack and some shelves from MGP 12 pine. Now I have a good CSMS and a table saw, but there are few pleasures (for me at least) better than to stand in a quiet shady spot and hand saw things. So I cut all the timber with a hand saw. I bought a cheap and nasty plastic handled Stanley, hard point saw at the wood show for maybe $10. I know this issue has been raised on the forum many times (once by me I think) but these cheap hard point saws can be very good value. I find it easy and light to use, it cuts accurately, holds an edged for ever and cuts pine, at least, very quickly. Again, in my experience, it is a good quality cheap tool.
