Bosch IXO 7 Cordless Screwdriver

Bosch's pocket-size 3.6V screwdriver, seventh generation - the flat-pack assembly tool for renters who move often and own no toolbox.

4.3 / 5
Highly recommended

Strengths

  • Perfect torque band for furniture assembly - powered convenience without the strip-a-thread risk of a full drill-driver
  • Genuinely pocketable and light at 0.32 kg, with a 360-degree LED ring lighting the screw
  • 2.0 Ah battery is rated for about 190 screws per charge - months of casual use

Watch outs

  • Still charges over dated micro-USB rather than USB-C
  • Variable speed control from the IXO 6 was dropped on this generation
  • 5.5 Nm is deliberately modest - it will not drill or shift seized fixings
  • Voltage 3.6 V lithium-ion (integrated battery)
  • Battery capacity 2.0 Ah - rated for up to 190 screws per charge
  • Max torque 5.5 Nm (hard) / 3 Nm (soft applications)
  • No-load speed 235 rpm
