Which cheap rotory hammer to buy?
I need a cheap rotary hammer for a couple of small jobs. I will be ripping out tiles and drilling a few holes in concrete.
I went to Bunnings and saw they have three cheap model - $69 ozito (850W), $99 ozito (1100W), and $120 GMC (1400W)
Which of these do you recommend? Should I just go for the $69 ozito? I read some other threads and a lot of you seem to like it...

If they have the same warranty, go for cheapest price!

I have the $69 Ozito. I was pretty impressed. It was purchased to strip a bathroom and since then it has also knocked out a wall, chiselled through a concrete lintel, drilled numerous holes in walls (much more effciently and easily than a normal hammer drill), drilled and chiselled a trench through a 100mm concrete slab, drilled long holes through double brick walls and the list goes on.
Comes with a spare set of brushes, grease to keep it lubed up and a chuck for drilling timber.
I always shied away from Ozito but this tool has proven me wrong.
The cord is a bit light duty and warms up if you use it continously for a few hours but i thought, hey, its $69, I'll give it 10 minutes to cool a little and off I went again. The 3 year replacement warranty was also reassuring.
