Stronger screwdriver, very versatile.

This sits alongside my Festool 10.8v drill/driver (at 5x the price of this driver) and both get used with pleasure and equal respect.I bought this IXO 6th generation screwdriver because it is lightweight. Even the Festool is lumpy by comparison (1080 grammes with the chuck attached). I spend much of my time doing bespoke picture framing, and need something with a good power to weight ratio. And this little Bosch is just perfect.Why do cordless power tools all weigh 1kg or over? Some considerably more if you put a big battery on. And they are mostly intended for use with just one hand. That's quite a lump, and gives me RSI/wrist strain. This Bosch is 380 grammes, including a short screwdriver extender and the screwdriver bit; fantastic.This 6th generation is variable speed (some of the previous versions aren't), and starts very slowly with a slight squeeze of the trigger, great for small screws and getting the bit properly engaged into the screw. It'll easily drive 4mm x 25mm screws into a pre-drilled hole in normal softwood. Reversible by using the switch above/in front of the hand grip, which is reachable with your thumb.I've had it for several months, and have only just had to recharge it!Honestly, brilliant. so ergonomic. So many cordless drills are simply too big even for the normal man's hand, leading to strain and injury. This Bosch sits really well in the hand, has a nice simple grip, and it gives you great confidence for fiddly jobs.And now Bosch have introduced extras for it, like a torque control (never use torque control, prefer to 'feel' my way in and tighten using my own judgement, this never strips a hole with the screw ending up just going round and round) and a corkscrew !?!.Smaller power tools like this are often under-rated. If you're looking for something which is good value for money, this is it. For home or in the workshop.

This is an ideal product for most flat pack assembled furniture.Positive points:It is light weight and easy to use with left or right hand. The trigger is sensitive and speed increases smoothly the more you press it. I also like the light and the convenient position of the reverse switch. Colour is good fun and makes it easy to find. The storage box is neat and well thought through.Negative points:The variety of heads is limited and they are very short. The wide, round nose of the driver prevents you from getting into corner spaces. However - I discoverd that you can get longer length driver heads that fit. This makes all the difference. In some ways I am surprised that a couple of these are not included or at least make it clear that an alternative is available.So, having been initially disappointed I am now very pleased with this product.

Great little machine. Really packs a punch

Love it, regret that I didn't got it sooner. Makes assembly around the house an easy and pleasant task. There are some additional attachments which makes it very versatile. Battery life is great and the charging time doesn't take too long. Standard hex bits fit nicely, comes in a black plastic box with charging micro USB cable, set of short bits, hex bit extension, manual. There's warranty once you register the device on the Bosch site.

Had this little Bosch electric screwdriver a while now. Its a whizz at flatpack furniture and smaller jobs around the house. And while it is not a drill........... I build models and I've found that if paired with small drill bits with a hex shank, think 1.5-5mm, its very good at drilling plastic and other thin materials.

Bought as a gift for female relative after she had been using my own Bosch ixo driver. Can’t comment on the extra attachments but the driver itself is sleek and light with a surprisingly powerful motor. Great for all that Swedish flat pack furniture! Have to admit the colour was a strong selling point here.
