i never write comments but feel compelled to do so. i am a spark and own many branded and expensive drills tools screwdrivers,this is one of the most used tools on my toolbox,the value for money is incredible,use daily fixing back boxes,fascia, connections,screwing in general,no need for torque as you just release the trigger, enough power to do many jobs,but not to much power to damage items that suggest hand tools only.(flat pack etc)that pony set of screwdrivers that dont compare and are not fit for purpose against what this item is capable of, are nothing on this item,this item save loads of time against a screwdriver and has lasted me years now with no issues.some comments are just ignorant and ridiculous.GREAT PRODUCT, GREAT VALUE,

I have driven many many screws with this . And for those complaining about the shoddy case , I have tin box envy. Mine came in a cardboard box . Some people don't know their luck....

Well mind your own then, you ask no questions or reasons then feel qualified to reply as you have :stuck_out_tongue:

Handy screwdriver use one myself, great price\ find op, heat added :smiley:

Sorry but your wrong on all count's .your clearly just amateur bodger that needs device to prevent you cocking up fitting a simple screw .Next you will be needing torque wrench for every nut and bolt other wise you will be shearing them lol

Nah it's just facts, you carry on as you are, you're clearly not a tradesman so can't see the need :wink:

So your saying that pros need torque clutch amateur user's don't .seems bit **** about face to me

It's a "half a product" with an important part missing, most suited to amateurs who can't or won't pay for a proper power screwdriver like pros use, potential buyers need to know this is missing

No never had problem .don't tend to use torque settings on my drill either .still if you're amateur diy person it may be handy

[/quote]

yes

Well personally I think the Ryobi from B&Q for £32 or the Bosch PSR for £55 are the better buys.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-603957770-Cordless-Lithium-Ion-Screwdriver/dp/B0047O2ARG/

The PSR weighs about 200g more, but has a clutch and variable speed. And a nice charging stand (which the new IXO doesn't anymore).

Both are still lightweight enough for screwdriving easily I think.

Top review on amazon sums it up well I think. And other's mention poor ergonomics.

Thanks OP - Been wanting something like this for a while :smiley:

Thanks op :smiley: Got this free due to discounts off my clubcard :smiley:

nice & secure

Sweet ordered £20.70. With 3% on quidco too!

I find the torque adapter is essential if like me you build and dismantle laptops toys etc or screwing into delicate material etc
depends what your using it 4

​I've never had a problem with the lack of torque control, handy to have but not essential for me. I loved the white tin case mine came in. The improved design prevents knocking the screwdriver out of gear, which used to happen with the old style. A great price.

Totally agree with you ,next will be wanting clutch on hand screw drivers

Neither does a screw driver but managed for years without one
Surely if cant judge how tight its doing screw,s should not be let loose with any screwdriver

Great for Ikea flat pack, good deal.

Thanks. What about the lack of clutch/torque control though? Ryobi and Bosch work out the same price if you get the torque attachment for the Bosch.

Variable speed would be nice too.

I'm going to get a proper 18v drill likely for proper work - but would like something like this for putting together flat pack. But the one speed/one torque nature puts me off - the whole point is to use it for delicate/light work.

http://www.diy.com/departments/ryobi-4v-li-ion-cordless-screwdriver-csd4107bg/173971_BQ.prd

Thanks :smiley:

If you can't control one of these or recognise its limits you are a dimwit. I count this as an essential item in my toolbox, alongside much more expensive tools for heavier duty drill driving and other tasks. Use the right tool for the job and it'll do what it's designed for, and this is a well designed very practical, well proven piece of kit.

Or this has an inbuilt clutch - whereas with the Bosch you need to spend an extra £12 for a clutch.
Worried that without a clutch you'd damage flat pack etc?

http://www.diy.com/departments/ryobi-4v-li-ion-cordless-screwdriver-csd4107bg/173971_BQ.prd

Is this the wobbly magnetic bit holder type or are the bits nice and secure with some sort of chuck?

Thanks OP nice find just order one because it sounds really good for the battery life which is what i wanted because the one i have at the moment is really bad for the battery came from ebuyer its duratool 4.8v battery goes flat in a few mins.

Heat added - great deal .



Thanks - Amazon suits me better despite the £2.30 difference. Not much free time in next few days to collect + had £30 to spend in Amazon codes :smile:

all I can say is that I have bought cheap ones before, like challenge one from argos, total rubbish

However, the Bosch one I have had for over a year now, best bit of kit, so many above have said nothing but good things, and finally Bosch wouldn't give you 2 year Parts & Labour Warranty if it wasn't any good, it'll cost them a fortune if they were c**p

How does it compare to the Guild set please?
http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/guild-csd36g2-36v-screw-driver-464563

Was thinking of getting that.

Thanks for the advice :smiley:

I bought one of these from the Argos deal a while ago, and have used it for all sorts of things. Excellent piece of kit, very powerful but controllable (although you do need to be careful). Yes I have a cordless drill/driver too but there is no comparison - this is far lighter, more compact and obviously you can drill and screw without switching bits.

For hex bits, I use Wera gold or diamond bits from Toolstation, they are very durable for ham-fisted DIYers like me.

Bought.
I'm sick and tired of being exhausted after every time I've manually put in 10 screws, so hopefully this will do the trick :smiley:

great bit o kit grinds me coffee daily and is twice as powerful as mesen with conventional screwdriver
built many a construction with it too Hot

Surely better than the piece of Argos junk posted recently! Bosch is a good brand.

I've got from from Amazon about 3 years ago. Great bit of kit.

good price. worth a try :smile:

As many others have said but I will repeat... these are amazing little gadgets and worth every penny of the price. Really powerful unlike the old school battery screwdrivers that sort of gave up half way through, these get the screw down as tightly as manually doing it. Highly recommended and great find at this price - cheers OP!

Ok for the price, but I much prefer my Makita 10.8v twin set (5 x the price though).

Maybe be time to replace my current 3.6v one as it does not appear to very powerful

Ordered cheers. Early Christmas gift for the wife :wink:
Also it would not work with email2508 but worked with EMAIL2508

I have an Aldi one and anything too hard to screw it just makes a ratcheting sound and stops working, waste of money.

I have one. Handy for those odd jobs around the house so have voted hot.

if your store's got it, pop down and give them the code at the till, they accept it, I bought some flooring from them a while back and there was no problems at the till

Cheers, that's what I did - discount showed but when I went to pay it was full price. I tried again and as soon as I clicked pay the basket emptied itself. Gave up and ordered from Amazon - I may be relatively poor but even my time's worth more.

good price and good product

Works out cheaper delivered (not if you click and collect) if you buy from Amazon (with prime).

Bought one a few years ago...good wee tool but obviously has limitations.
Decent price.

I have the newest model and the forward/reverse is now positioned on top and isn't easy to accidentally select the other way.

I had the older version too so know exactly what your saying as done that myself many times.

Having had the Mk.1 version of this for years, torque control is not a problem you just let it rotate a quarter turn in your hand whilst you take your finger off the trigger.

I've had one of these for years, still going strong. My only gripe is the location of the forward/reverse switch, constantly inadvertently engaging the switch during use which is a bit annoying. Does look as though they've upgraded the design though as I don't see the red selector button on this model. Handy tool though for moderate DIY which holds its charge well.

Yes, does only accept hex bits, however the rotation speed is quite slow, don't expect it would be much use as a drill

I wouldn't recommend this for decking, it's a bit of a lightweight and doesn't have any torque control. You can borrow my impact driver if you're in the West Cumbria area :laughing:

Great tool and flat pack essential. Not a Drill / impact driver replacement but a superb round the house handy tool. Every house should have one. Heat

​EDIT: just found on Amazon. About 600 gms :smiley:

hi. any idea how much this weighs?

You have no idea, READ the previous comments, his first reply to my comment contained no link to a better screwdriver. And was uncalled for\ unnecessary, if you have something to say just comment on the deal.

go to your basket, scroll down, click "add voucher" enter email2508

still working just tried it

Just worked for me - many thanks OP

code not working for me

​But the 10% off code brings B&Q down to £20.70.

Amazon have price matched.

3.6v? Might be quicker by hand :laughing:

3% Quidco yo

I have one of these. The torque is great.

Thanks op, perfect timing got some decking to do this week so will be well
tested

3hr charge time!

I have the older model which has a 5hr charge time. It requires a lot of planning as it is likely to fail mid-diy job. I was using it with a hex countersink bit to do skirting board though!

Also I found it seemed to have a lot of torque for a screwdriver. Too much for some jobs so I just used a hand screwdriver!

my missus was looking for a lightweight drill , does this only take hex bits

Bought one of these last year when they were on offer in B&Q, it's a great little screwdriver with plenty of torque.

He has every right to reply as the screwdrivers he linked too are better than the tut being touted here!

Bought one of these for £19.99 in December from Amazon and it's certainly proved to be useful...have used it on a variety of jobs and it's held up well.

Want to make a point, just post your own comment on the deal. I see no need to reply to me or my comment :confused:

Not sure it's in the same league but IKEA do their own brand for £6.95 - saw it in store today

http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/90203258/

ordered - good spot op.

Guys this is not an impact driver or a hammer drill, so don't judge it as such, it's just a lightweight electric screwdriver - but it's lighter and smaller than even an impact driver, so it definitely has its uses!

Does it come with a bit extension? Some things I need to reach would require one. Thanks!

No torque control, without another add on, so no good as a screwdriver

Have the black and decker version of this with the adjustable body. Goes on forever and they are very capable and useful tools

Ordered - thanks OP

Please where do you input the code " email2508 " to get the discount.

with this tool and self drilling screws you can build decking, install floor boards, joists, stud walls and no end of other wood jobs. hand tools are hopeless and slow and big drills mean you can't get into small spaces easily. These are one of the most useful tools you can buy.

Thanks for posting, just ordered one to collect on Monday. Heat added :smiley:

That is what makes this deal even better - It's the newer version. That doesn't come in a recycled Quality Street tin like ours :smiley:

You obviously haven't put together loads of flat pack furniture.....LOL

This little IXO driver is superb for this.......only minus is the crappy tin case it comes in.....but great price for this.

I've had this (or probably it's predecessor ) for donkey's years now . Excellent piece of kit . Holds a charge for ever and a day

Just pointing out to those who may be considering a purchase. Better of with a sturdy set of screwdrivers https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stanley-Cushion-Screwdriver-Phillips-STA065011/dp/B000X2GJ1E/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1473536160&sr=8-3&keywords=Stanley+screwdrivers
Or a proper drill/driver.
Good for you, if you find it useful.

Well mind your own then, you ask no questions or reasons then feel qualified to reply as you have :stuck_out_tongue:

Handy screwdriver use one myself, great price\ find op, heat added :smiley:

Found it thanks very much.

I give up trying to order, it won't let me complete the purchase for some reason.

EDIT: Finally it worked. Thanks OP.

Got to say I've had one of these for two years plus and it absolutely the most useful electric tool I've ever bought and prob the most used. The go to tool when building furniture , repairing fences , installing trunking etc. Lasted 2 years plus with no discernible battery performance loss.

What are the Aldi , Lidl comparatives like ?

Sorry just seen the discount code for bq

Same price on Amazon

Good price
voted hot

Looks like a good deal to me!
