    Default Review - "Orbiter" Drill Attachment

    Hi all,

    I have just completed a review of the Ozito "Orbiter" Drill Attachment - allows you to drill at virtually any angle and drill in tight spaces.
    Available to read now - http://www.onlinetoolreviews.com/reviews/orbiter.htm

    I think Ozito are planning to release this one at Bunnings outlets for father's day.
    How much wood could the woodchuck chuck if the woodchuck could chuck wood?

    Thumbs up

    Note that it is the same "Orbiter" product as manufactured and sold by Milescraft and available in the USA. The only difference is the name on the handle.
    Dean, so is Ozito the Australian arm of Milescraft? Or are they all made in the same factory in Taiwan? If so, we may have to look closer at the Ozito range and hopefully they will bring out the full Milescraft range here.

    Good review again!

    Pat, It looks like Milescraft has licensed Ozito to sell the product here (rebadged). Both the Milescraft and Ozito Orbiter are made in the same factory and are exactly the same product (in China - where else these days? ).

    Timbecon in WA already sells the full milescraft range here in Australia.

    Thanks Dean, I suppose now Ozito/Milescraft will get dearer due to china revalueing the Yaun.

    Well, their rising currency should give most chinese factories more buying power and reduced comodity and resource prices, so prices may actually go lower, unless they have started to learn from the developed countries that you can make cheaper and still sell at same price to increase profits
