Bought a new piece of furniture, tighten many screws, no desire to do this by hand, the large electric screwdriver in the basement and / or is not loaded! Remedy is the Bosch IXO cordless screwdriver create here. This is intended for occasional screwing jobs in the household and can be recharged at any place quickly and easily thanks to Micro-USB charger. This is exactly why I ordered it to me over the Amazon Vine program.
In the meantime, I have therefore already Gartemöbelset constructed and can therefore draw the following preliminary conclusion:
1) Delivery
The IXO set comes in a stylish white tin can, which is divided into two parts. The upper half is a separate box and contains the wrench including charger and 10 standard bits in the lower per an eccentric and an angle attachment + manual. Opening the cans is a bit fiddly, you must first separate the two halves of each other, then you can open the top box under something höhrem effort. Tender woman hands may have problems here, and ambitious handyman wearing gloves they must always move out. Why Bosch no easy carrying case provides is incomprehensible for me.
In terms of the most common forms of bits contained, I would have still only desired an extension essay.
2) Charging time
About a small fuel pump symbol indicates the cordless screwdriver, if he needs to be charged. Unfortunately, the battery is firmly installed - if it is defective, the complete electrical screwdriver. A complete charge took me initially about two hours, which was still slightly reduce over time. For occasional screw that's absolutely fine.
3) Handling
The IXO is for my taste really good in the hand and feels this very difficult and high quality to. The build quality is flawless, no rattling, creaking or annoying burrs observed. The shape can be well to put pressure on the screw head. The direction of rotation can be controlled via a slider on the top of the screwdriver, these can be operated without any problems with the thumb of fixed lifting hand. So all in all a very handy and ergonomically well thought out device.
I was surprised by the power of the small cordless screwdriver - Drilling is therefore not possible, but when tightening screws in pre-drilled holes or threads I had no problems so far. I can not say anything yet about the battery life, had been in a good hour in the (relatively hard) use and he still has juice.
A nice feature is the built-in LED, as needed, you can brighten dark corners with spot or scattered light. Very handy are the two essays, these are easy to install by placing and tightening and sit rock solid.
Conclusion:
The IXO does what it should, and that makes it really neat. The only complaint is in my view the real inconvenient storage in the metal box, would Bosch delivered here a suitcase there from me 5 stars!
