whats a good rotary hammer drill with anti kickback 240v?

[wozzzzza]

looking for a rotary hammer drill 240v with anti kickback function so i dont break my wrists. i have a cordless one but need a 240v one with decent power.
my old ozito has packed it in today, had it 15 years or so.
not something i will use every day, maybe once a week. don't want something over the top in price, just average.

I have the ALDI version. It has done a lot of work over the years, both wrecking and drilling. Maybe you'll get lucky on a Special Deal rack soon. If you can't wait, get another Ozito. No point spending much on such an "imprecise" device. You've probably collected a bunch of bits over the journey, so make sure you get a compatible machine, eg SDS etc

I agree, the Ozito packs a big punch especially for demolishing. For a more refined tool consider a Metabo or a Bosch Blue. I have had a Metabo KHE 26 for maybe 20 years. A word of caution if like me you are left handed; the trigger lock was often accidentally activated. Be sure to check this. With the Metabo you still have to hang on real tight until the clutch engages. It’s a bit of an advantage to be left handed actually as far as wrist injuries go. I once had a cheap GMC rotary hammer lock on accidentally, rip out of my hand, bend a 12mm drill and wound the lead unplugged before I could get to the plug

ticks all the boxes. What about this one https://sydneytools.com.au/product/bosch-gbh-226-06112a3040-800w-sds-plus-rotary-hammer

if it was me I’d go to a shop and compare. Some tools might not have a clutch included in the description

it’s the one in my link too

ones with the dropped down motor better than the ones with inline motor??

[mic-d]

I would say on the basis of my limited experience with only one of each that yes the 'dropped down motor' ones are more powerful. That was certainly my experience with the Ozito (drop down) and the Metabo KHE26. The Ozito comes into its own when lifting tiles etc as a hammer chisel, but is a little cumbersome for other drilling tasks other than concrete/brick. Whereas the Metabo often struggled as a hammer chisel but still ate up concrete and was more refined for use on wood/metal etc

these have nearly snapped my wrists as well over the years, dont really want them again.

I'm not really sure how that (nearly) happens. Sure they can get a bit of "get up and go" but haven't experienced anything nearing an injury as such. Maybe ALDI is just superior (joke :) )

mainly i have done it when drilling largish 32+mm holes above head level in block/concrete walls and hit reo, it grabs and no way you can resist that, it twists and fuks ya wrist if you can't let go or if it doesn't rip out of your hands and stop

It had better be good! :oo:

Similar digits, but I think mine had the decimal point in a different place :)

Haha. I get the point, although none of those reviews are for any 240v drill from ALDI, let alone for their 240v rotary hammer drill. It's served my sometimes infrequent but often demanding needs for over 15 years.

used it yesterday to jack up another small balcony, a lot better on my wrists and a bit more powerful than ozito
