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.

They’re very easy to use but repeated use in a short period of time can leave you with an achy wrist. 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. With several practical attachments, the small IXO makes a big impression in every situation and for every project. When he’s not working, his time is divided worryingly evenly between football, culture and sleeping.I found the best solution was to push the bits out using a pencil like I was bashing a jammed bearing out.

The progressive squeeze trigger is particularly good to use, with a surprisingly accurate amount of feedback. But of course their main use is putting together flatpack furniture from IKEA and elsewhere – and yes, of course, there is an 'IKEA-sized' Allen key attachment with the IXO 6, along with most of the other heads that most people will need, most of the time. The USB charger itself is not included, which is an understandable ecological choice, given the proliferation of USB chargers and USB ports more generally. The IXO torque setting adapter expands the possibilities of working with and in delicate material, providing surgeon-like precision and fingertip control in minute jobs. Heading towards the tail-end of the year, sometimes I can’t help but spoil myself with a few presents (to myself, of course).Underneath the tray is the warranty registration reminder, the user guide printed on recycled paper (similar to newsprint) and a warranty statement. I've been using IXO screwdrivers for years and while each new version improves and slims down the design a touch, they've all been lifesavers when it comes to minor repairs, screwing and unscrewing things in confined spaces, and forcing recalcitrant, older screws to start moving. And you can even have the screwdriver plugged in via USB while you are using it, which isn't something I've seen in a cordless tool before. There's no substitute for using a tool to see how good it is, and wherever possible, we've tried out these screwdrivers to see how they stand up to each other - although comparing power levels and user reviews is also a really great way to get a sense for their relative merits. The output is definitely strong enough for most tasks – I mounted some cable racks to the edge of a wooden table and installed some curtain rail holders, driving 4mm screws into solid wood which it did with aplomb.

It can be used with a variety of optional attachments, which can add drilling and torque setting functionality or even allow it to be used as a corkscrew or spice mill - it doesn't get much more versatile than that. The trigger itself is a bit on the long side, thus I use two fingers with it rather than one which feels a bit unnatural, but has a slight lag when first starting off which is noticeable.He has covered everything from smartphones to headphones, TV to AC and air fryers to the movies of James Bond and obscure anime.

The battery life was fantastic and thanks to the Lithium-Ion battery, only takes two hours to charge from empty. Perhaps my biggest annoyance with all cordless screwdrivers of a similar design is simply how close the “head” of the unit is to the bit which, because the bit is centred, means that screwdriving close to a corner (or in recesses) becomes impossible. The maximum speed of the motor isn’t the fastest in its class at just 215 rpm with no bit installed. In practice, this all comes together to make the IXO 6 a really pleasant tool to use, even over long periods of time.Outside of work, you'll often find Luke trying to get his drone out of a tree, acquiring bruises at the skatepark or obsessively playing the latest RPG title. All this means that you should keep a little stubby screwdriver around just for dealing with those awkward nooks. The offset-angle and angle screw adapters (pictured above) are the most useful, while the BBQ blower and corkscrew adapters have a more niche appeal. Make sure you know what screw heads the driver will come with since that could leave you scuppered if it's not quite the selection you were expecting, and having a good sense of its power levels will help to avoid any burnouts with screws that are just too tight for it to extract (which should be rare!
