I've used the Ozi for a few years now, and it's fine with most cutting blades. Mine has had an absolute flogging, and looks it. The one issue I've had, which may mean I have to replace it, was when I put a 'rescue' (or multi-material cutter) blade on it, and used it to cut reinforced concrete. It kept jamming and cutting out, and resulted in the angle grinder developing a real 'clunk' and kick starting and stopping it, which gives me the idea that the gearing is shot. NOT the grinder or blade fault, all mine...it was a big ask for a little grinder. I have run a rotating razor disc on it to cut channels in the frame of a deck to allow water drainage between the frame and the deck facing boards - that was necessary because the tradies doing the deck didn't think it through and hadn't water proofed the framing. Word of caution regarding those 'razor' discs, they are basically a circular saw blade to fit angle grinders...they are as dangerous as you can get, as the grinders are NOT circular saws, and work on a completely different dynamic. Hit something hard, and they WILL kick back, and that kick back is straight into your face. If you think of getting or using one, definitely look up the injuries they can cause on the 'net. My heartfelt recommendation is to NOT use them, there are safer alternatives, even if that means ten times as long using a hammer and chisel. Back onto the Ozi grinder though, well worth the investment. I am also running a makita 125mm grinder, but most times I'll use the little Ozi.
Excellent presentation, thanks mate. Perfect handyman tool. Trivia : Ozito (Ozitools) brand was bought up by Einhell a European manufacturer. The killer feature of Ozito is the very much affordable cost of their batteries compared to practically anything else.
I do scrap metal metal and found one in a rubbish pile I had to clean.I took it home, cleaned, battery in and works a charm. Very handy to grind different metals to see determine what metal is underneath.
I have had one of these for over a year. Has been very reliable. Use with a couple of 3Ah or 4Ah batteries, one on a fast charger and one on the grinder. Use it for all sorts. Sharpening a mower blade. With bronze wire brush for cleaning off rust. With various grit sanding disks for stripping many paint layers off an old house. With cut off disk for cutting up old junk metal. Wouldn't be without it now. Always use with safety glasses, ear muffs and sturdy gloves. And rotate the guard to protect against flying sparks/debris.
Had mine for 6 years still going strong, let the grinder do the work and it will cut and grind. Also bought the 125mm brushless Ozito grinder, cost twice as much but lighter and better performer. Now I cut with the 125mm and grind with the 115mm grinder.
Using one with a 5.2ah battery and get about 20min of run out of it. I found it stalling often and had to backoff the pressure I was putting on it and it was fine. For the price it's a handy unit for quick jobs.
I have one the load senser cuts it out to easy cutting. They are only good with a flapper disc or light grinding. Works better with a 1mm cutting disc. It will last years because it can't be loaded up so I bought a Dewalt to do the real jobs.
Wanted to remove the motor fan from my Ozito Grinder so that I can access the rotor and give it a clean...Having trouble removing the fan which plastic/polymer....Anyone can help???....

Can you fit 125mm discs on the 115mm grinder?
@@tbard3081 no,

Yes not a replacement for a 240 volt but very handy to have

only hassle i found was the larger center holes, slightly larger than the cabled grinder, had to go back to bunnings and buy several types of discs.
holy hell mate, good video. thx.
I got one, there ace, but use batts over 3Ah, or they wont last long..
After a couple of months I cannot believe how much I am using this. Just so handy
Isn't it just...

I use mine for sharpening lawnmower blades only
Damn, hadn't thought of that. Thanks! 👍👍
