Presumably this was done because Ozito is exclusive to Bunnings and gave them an established brand in the dominant home improvement retailer, but it is changing the products (hopefully for the better).
The biggest change seems to be with Einhell's 18v X change cordless system being sold under the Ozito brand, which is far more comprehensive than the older products. The brushless drills and impact driver in particular look to be reasonably well made, and with a 5 year tool warranty and 3 year on battery, I don't see a reason to hate those. Especially when Aldi also sell Einhell under their Taurus Titanium brand on occasion, another source of cheap batteries is good to have.
