Bosch may be better known for making some of the best cordless drills– and every other tool imaginable – for both pro and home DIY use. When it comes to the compact and affordable end of the market, the IXO 6 is probably the best electric screwdriver you can buy. It's certainly the most popular. Bauer Media Group consists of : Bauer Consumer Media Ltd, Company number 01176085; Bauer Radio Limited, Company number: 1394141; A full charge tool 1h 47m 23s, short of two hours which makes it rather painless to recharge, and the delivered charge was 1573mAh suggesting it has a linear charging architecture with an honest battery capacity. The charge current reached 1A. Conclusion While I have previously owned cordless screwdrivers of the Ni-MH variety, moving over to Li-Ion brings a few benefits including lighter weight, low self-discharge so it should be ready to use when needed and the convenience of micro-USB charging. The biggest draw is the fact this unit offers a variable-speed trigger allowing for more careful driving of screws which should avoid the tendency of single-speed tools to strip heads at the end of travel. Of course, with care, even single-speed tools are adequate when used with care, but the older IXO V was not any cheaper with its garishly loud Bosch branding, so I opted for the IXO 6 instead. Attachment interface – Compatible with additional IXO attachments for increased versatility and perfect attachments for jobs in and around the house.
The power level indication is made with a row of three green LED lights on the top, with direction changes being achieved using an easy-to-use slide switch that can be actuated by the thumb. Taken out of the box, I do like the fact the IXO 6 looks a lot more rounded and smooth compared to the angular IXO V and the Bosch logo is a more reasonable size. The unit weighs 336 grams, feeling well built but not heavy. The maximum speed of the motor isn’t the fastest in its class at just 215 rpm with no bit installed. It doesn’t hamper the overall ability of the electric screwdriver as the torque remains a constant (the maximum 4.5 Nm of torque will be enough for almost any domestic screwing). It just means your finger has to pull the trigger for a few seconds longer than you’d ideally want, at least that ergonomic design will ensure that your hand remains comfortable. Skil's screwdriver is another great option, reasonably priced and with a bunch of smart design decisions that mean you won't feel like you're cutting too many corners by saving some money.Before T3, Duncan was a music and film reviewer, worked for a magazine about gambling that employed a surprisingly large number of convicted criminals, and then a magazine called Bizarre that was essentially like a cross between Reddit and DeviantArt, before the invention of the internet. There was also a lengthy period where he essentially wrote all of T3 magazine every month for about 3 years.
Registered office: Media House, Peterborough Business Park, Lynch Wood, Peterborough PE2 6EA and H Bauer Publishing, Company number: LP003328; Gain full control over all DIY screw driving tasks with infinitely variable speed control to perfectly match the pace of each and every job. Keep a close eye on battery life with the 3-LED battery indicator for a detailed look at remaining work time. The IXO comes with a broad assortment of helpful attachments for a wide variety of jobs in and around the house for a more comfortable screwdriving process as well as many more that open up a new world of applications. From a blower for stoking barbecues, to a wine bottle opener and spice mill, these attachments enhance every occasion. Features and Benefits Apart from the new look, the other major upgrade to the IXO is the introduction of variable speed control. Thanks to some clever engineering, you can now adjust the speed of the IXO using the trigger. This new level of control helps to reduce the risk of damaging screws and surfaces, as you can operate the IXO at slower speeds when required.Luke has been working in consumer tech for over a decade and is an expert in cameras, computing, VR and audio. A broadcaster, raconteur and public speaker, Duncan used to be on telly loads, but an unfortunate incident put a stop to that, so he now largely contents himself with telling people, "I used to be on the TV, you know."
