    Default Ozito saves the day........again!!

    Ozito saves the day........again!!

    We have a small hedge out the front of our place that the Council Nazis deem to be dangerous, all 1 metre of it. (height)

    They sent me and er in doors a clean it up or else notice, not one notice, but one each threatening a $120 fine each if we dont trim it.

    Apparently the rampant hedge is 100mm wider than allowable? :confused:

    So off to Bunnies to get a trimmer, Arhh Ozito, after the good rotory hammer drill I bought from Ozito I thought Id buy Ozito again.

    $30 for an electric hedge trimmer.

    And it worked a beauty too.

    I've had an Ozito drill for a while now (went in to Bunnings to buy a new chuck for a makita drill and bought the Ozito for cheaper than a new chuck!). It's playing up at the moment though. When I plug it in it slowly starts turning without me touching the trigger. I first noticed this when radio interference started when I plugged it in. It'll hit the bin soon, but it earned it's keep.

    I had an ozito ROS and it was a lot nicer to use than my bosch one.

    One day I was using it outside and the disc flew off, never found it
    pity, it was nice to use.

    I bought one of those Ozito trimmers about a month ago. My only piece of Ozito kit.

    I have to say I agree with you. For the price and the amount I'll use it it was a real bargain.

    Much better than the hand powered shears.

    I was in Bunnings in Cranbourne, Vic yesterday and they had another pallet of Ozito hammer drills, the one with the metal gear box same as I bought earlier this year. Still $67.00. I was sorely tempted to buy another one just to have a spare.
    I wanted to become a brickie but my old man said "No son, learn a trade."

    Yep I bought the ozito last Xmas for the wife as a present. She's a fairly keen gadener and was after a trimmer for a while. The ozito was definately worth buying. Apparently their electric chain saw isn't to bad either for those round the house triming jobs.
    Dave,

    I bought an Ozito hedge trimmer as a 'filler' until I could save enough folding stuff to buy a petrol powered Little Wonder or a Tanaka and the cheap little mongrel of a thing has not let me down yet. To hasten the proces I have taken to lending it to my neighbours and family to use and yet still it purrs like a kitten.

    So as far as I am concerned she is a keeper! Not sure if I got a freak one or not but I wont say a bad word about her she is my baby now and long live the Ozito Queen.

    I still want my Tanaka or Little Wonder though. Just a sucker for quality I guess.

    All this is getting me excited, I think I'll go out and buy any Ozito just for the heck of it, it's so cheap you can't go wrong.

    I usually buy Festool products, but for odd things there can be no better than Ozito for the price, two extremes I can live with.

    After my experience with Ozito, I'd rather buy Ozito than GMC, but having said that, I'm off to buy another GMC blower/vacuum for the yard.:eek: I broke the knob/switch on the first one and now its permanently stuck on "suck". I guess I'll leave the new one on "blow" and never have to touch a switch again.

    Easy to crack open the case and manually adjust it so it doesn't suck anymore. Trouble is they don't blow as well as others I've had.


    All above board as well, dunno what you were thinking.

    That sucks
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
