A broadcaster, raconteur and public speaker, Duncan used to be on telly loads, but an unfortunate incident put a stop to that, so he now largely contents himself with telling people, "I used to be on the TV, you know." A tartozékcsatlakozónak köszönhetően sokoldalúan alkalmazható: fúróként, dugóhúzóként, darabolóként és még sok más módon If you want your 7 th generation Ixo to be a little more special, Bosch will allow users to individually personalize its box from October. It could be a present for a special someone or to give yourself a little treat – the personal design of the Ixo storage box makes each Ixo unique. The box can be designed either by uploading one's own photo or by selecting a suggested motif at www.bosch-diy.com/shop . In addition, a person's own text can also be inserted. Registered office: Media House, Peterborough Business Park, Lynch Wood, Peterborough PE2 6EA and H Bauer Publishing, Company number: LP003328; The Ixo has established itself as a favourite for a range of household tasks and has now been launched in its seventh generation form with 20% more power and a torque of 5.5Nm thanks to an optimised motor. Its livery is still the Classic Green and is perfect for household projects, for example, assembling prefabricated furniture or the helping the next creative project along. Thanks to the longer battery runtime, due to a 2.0 Ah rechargeable battery, DIYers can now drive up to 190 screws with a single battery charge – nearly double the number possible with the previous generations of the screwdriver.

When asked, Bosch said: "The charging power is identical. Since we include the matching micro USB cable in the scope of delivery, it shouldn't make much difference to the user in terms of handling. In the future, however, we will gradually convert the portfolio to USB-C." Better late than never. From mid-2024, USB-C is definitely to become the EU-wide standard for devices such as smartphones, headphones and digital cameras. It's good if the small battery-powered screwdriver also follows suit and micro-USB cables are not still lying around just because of it. Conclusion The Bosch IXO 6 is a device that no home should be without. It screws in, it screws out; it has just enough torque for most jobs, and it's compact, convenient and comfortable to use. It's also not terribly expensive.

It remains the same at 0.34kg, impressive considering the uprated battery size and clear performance advantage. It also retains that bank vault-like build quality, it’s definitely built to last. Az IXO nagy teljesítményű és kényelmes, akkus csavarhúzó és mindentudó a ház körüli munkákhoz. A szerszám új generációja könnyű csavarozást tesz lehetővé lapra szerelt bútor összeszerelésénél vagy javítások során: az erőteljesebb motor elődjénél magasabb fordulatszámot és 20%-kal nagyobb teljesítményt nyújt. Az új, 2,0 Ah-s lítium-ion akkumulátorral a szerszám üzemideje is megnövekedett, így kevesebb alkalommal kell feltölteni hosszabb, nagyobb igénybevétellel járó munkáknál. Ez a csavarhúzó kompakt és ergonomikus kialakítású, természetesen kényelmes fogantyúval és intuitív kezeléssel rendelkezik, kiegészülve egy 360°-os LED gyűrűvel a jobb láthatóságért és az árnyékmentes munkavégzésért. És ami a legjobb: az IXO a csavarhúzásnál lényegesen több feladatra használható. A tartozékcsatlakozó kompatibilis minden IXO Collection tartozékkal, így a munka befejeztével kézreálló segítséget nyújt a fűszerek megőrléséhez vagy a grill begyújtásához. IXO on tehokas ja kätevä akkuruuvinväännin ja monitaituri mitä erilaisimpiin kodin tehtäviin. Tällä uuden sukupolven työkalulla ruuvien kiinnittäminen, huonekalujen kokoaminen ja kodin korjaustyöt sujuvat uskomattoman vaivattomasti: entistä voimakkaampi moottori tuottaa suuremman kierrosluvun ja 20 % enemmän tehoa edeltäjämalliin verrattuna. Uuden 2,0 Ah:n Li-ion-akun ansiosta työkalun käyttöaika on pidentynyt, joten se takaa pitkät latausvälit myös pitkäkestoisissa ja paljon voimaa vaativissa töitä. Tämä ruuvinväännin on kompakti ja ergonominen työkalu, joka takaa miellyttävän otteeseen ja helpon käsittelyn. Sen kätevä 360°:en LED-valorengas parantaa näkyvyyttä ja mahdollistaa varjottoman työskentelyn. Mikä parasta, IXO:ta voi käyttää ruuvauksen lisäksi moniin muihinkin tehtäviin. Kiinnitysliitäntä on yhteensopiva kaikkien IXO Collection -vaihtopäiden kanssa, joten kun ruuvaustyöt on saatu valmiiksi, sitä voi käyttää kätevänä apuvälineenä esim. mausteiden jauhamiseen tai grillihiilloksen puhaltamiseen. What else can I tell you about the IXO 6? The bits go in the end – the driver comes with 5 cross-head, 2 Allen, 2 Torx – the star-shaped ones – and only one flat head, as nobody uses them anymore. If you live in an older home, or have more demanding uses in mind, you will certainly need to buy additional bits, but for most modern purposes, the 10 bits provided may well prove to be all you need.

The big news with the Bosch IXO 7 is that both the motor and battery have been improved to deliver a longer running time and more screwing power. The battery is now a 2.0 Ah Lithium-Ion option (the old one was 1.5 Ah) which means it lasts longer, with Bosch proudly claiming it can drive 190 screws before needing charging. This product carries a full 3 year manufacturers warranty covering both faulty materials and faulty workmanship, it does not cover general wear and tear or damage, batteries, blades, bulbs and other consumables. In the unlikely event of a fault the item returned is subject to fair wear & tear and must not have been used beyond the scope of it's design. Please note that cordless products will normally have a shorter warranty of just 1 Year for the battery and or charger supplied. But that's not what the IXO is supposed to measure up to, according to Bosch. It is for everyone, even for those who already own a cordless screwdriver, because the IXO does not compete with them, but with manual screwdrivers. Huh? If you don't feel like screwing furniture together by hand, you buy a cordless screwdriver. And if you don't have a cordless screwdriver, you want to screw furniture together by hand - or at least you do it so rarely that it's not worth the investment. So where is the room for the IXO 7? At most for those who enjoy small gadgets.Style is always subjective, but with the previous IXO 6 being an award-winning design, the IXO 7 represents a step down in style. That’s not to say it’s offensively ugly or ungainly, it just looks more like a generic electric screwdriver. The enormous red Bosch logo and iconic green finish will still identify this as a quality product, but the minimalist design of the IXO 6 is sorely missed. We absolutely adored the Bosch IXO 6 Screwdriver when we tested it. It was stylish, rugged and took most of the pain out of simple DIY tasks. In fact, we concluded that the IXO 6 was a must-buy. Bosch is a market leader with its IXO range of electric screwdrivers, and we’ve got our hands on the new and improved IXO 7 series. I don't really have anything negative to say about the IXO 6. If you want to put huge masonry screws into concrete, obviously it's not a suitable tool. For 99% of basic DIY jobs it's nigh on perfect. Bosch IXO 6 review: also consider…
