i reciently bought a ozito replicating saw. when i opened it a nut, and broken screw fell out of the mouth. i got a replacement, and it works ok. hopefully i can get it to break before 3 years. i would not buy one again, i would buy a ryobi, with a battery.
That's nice, dear. I bet there are many banana-shaped things that you like that run on batteries.
Welcome to seabreeze...
What's a replicating saw? Is it like something that does the same job as say, another saw?
Have you seen Stargate Atlantis? The replicants are in it........ scary little bastards! 
Adas43,
Seeing as though you obviously work for Ryobi, can you help me with getting new replacements for the pieces of sh!t Ryobi products that have failed me?
When you ruin ryobi they have to leave for rep to assess for warranty. When you ruin an ozito, its Bunnings own brand - they swap immediately no questions.
Oh OH, see. i really should have got the higher powered one. it still under powered. i hope i can get it too break, but it will may b e hard for me.

Correct - as you don't actually own a replicating saw. Or, do you mean a higher powered banana-shaped object... good for you.
Word. Dawg.
grinding concrete flat with 7" diamond polisher. (variable speed polisher)ozito lasted 7 min gear box went. Took it back got one of those yellow Ryobi and ground like 100metres square had it for over a year no probs. Just after about 15 min have to let it cool down !
Ryobi all the way Still entry level garbage really but good for the diy If I was using it for commercial work id go dewalt or metabo or something
I got one of those 1000w Ryobi 240v whipper snipper today for the misses and I was really impressed with that No way near as good as strapping on the harness and going thru heavy bush with the still But for the misses perfect!

they are all badly made, all you need is a variable powerful motor. and a, heap, of attachments. such a waste. i also tried to hire one, @ 120 for the entire day, no hour rate :(.
Still getting over " strapping on a harness " it strangely sounds invigorating .
Power tool harness .
I don't think a proper tool without a harness is man worthy
Hey mate
I've had a bad experience with the bent shaft whipper snippers vs. bare shin in shorts
The crap whipper snipper won !!
Just saying......
so i bought another disposable power tool from bunnings, because i am poor and there is no where to hire. it came with an empty box, so i asumed something was missing.............. anyway. i felt like collecting everything at bunning and having a bomb fire in their car park. at a moment.
I think you are a fool, adas34 ! You are just making up stories.
I have been shopping for just about ALL my gardening and power tools from Bunnings. To date, I have not had any nasty surprises. I just bought a Ryobi pole pruner at $329. With that, I cut a large gum tree and also pruned off the encrouching tree braches on my roof gutters. I asked a council worker's opinion on that after he had a go at it, and he is quite impressed, given the fact that the council uses exclusively Stihl machines. For the same kind of machine, just the power unit alone costs $299. The pruner head will be $425. Then another $180 for pole extension ! This Ryobi pole pruner has everything for $329, and it workds just fine.
No, I do not own shares in Bunnings/West Farmers. I just believe that truth be told in a fair and honest manner.
So you bought yourself an empty box from Bunnings ? Perhaps you need to get your brain checked ? Surely anyone amigo with haf a brian would have had checked before paying ?
i tried to cut my old* stanley srew driver as a replacement, but the blade went blunt before i was `1mm in, or less, haha, phew, its a good screw driver. :).
Jupiter: i only wish i was joking, this is the case.

Hey adas, are you sure you are old enough to be near power tools?
If you think something is missing, especially if the seal is broken, ask a shop assistant to go through the box with you, look for the pamphlet that lists the contents, if stuff is missing, but you don't really need it, ask for a discount on that particular unit, you will usually get it.
Did you melt a power lead or do you really have phillips drill bit made of Pb. You need to have at the very least a portable circuit breaker if your home ones aren't tripping out before melting ****. If you have purchased a Reciprocating saw, make sure you are using the correct blade for the job, try using Lennox brand blades from the U.S. And use the right tool for the job, read the f@cken instructions if its the first time you have used a particular tool, take 15 mins and do some online research.
How the hell did you melt a screwdriver drill bit, do you mean you rounded the edges off, are you using a variable torque drill when you are putting in screws? Cutting a screw driver to make a fitting for a drill doesn't work too well as the shaft is round, buy the proper screwdriver drill bit for power tools, should cost you less the $4, they are hexagonal for a reason.
Busterwa, what Ozito product did you buy to grind concrete with? Was it the 1100w variable speed timber sander /paint polisher, did you replace it with the Ryobi 1500w angle grinder / sander / polisher?
I was always told that a bad workman always blames his tooks.
(sorry I meant "tools" my computer keyboard is friggin' useless)
my last story with diy buunings. i bought a cheap metal drill bit. it broke. later i found the 13 piece drill bits worked but better on the metal. i dont know why they even make matal/wood drill bits, at all.
i guess you are mostly too young to understand, and yes i exaggerated.
this is a drill.
this is a...

That just goes to show you have no bloody idea with tools. A Stanley screw driver is made of special steel which is very tough and hard. It has to be to last. To cut it with a saw, I presume it was a reciprocating saw, is akin to cutting a concrete block with your steak knife. Try using an angle grinder, and not the crap Ozito or Ryobi ones you dumped on.
Jupiter: i am guessing you were born in the 90's? my stanley screw driver is about 30 years old.
