# Best Electric Screwdriver 2026: 10 Ranked, One Bosch Listed Twice Source: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-electric-screwdrivers Published: 2026-09-19 | Updated: 2026-09-19 | Prices checked on Amazon UK on 2026-09-19 Two listings in this top ten are the same tool, and that is the first thing any best electric screwdriver guide should tell you. The Bosch IXO 7 at £41.23 (4.6 stars from 8,624 ratings) and the Bosch IXO 7 at £61.95 (4.7 stars from 1,508 ratings) both quote 3.6V, 2.0Ah, 5.5Nm, 235 RPM, 190 screws per charge and 330g. That is £20.72 for the same screwdriver body, and what it buys is an off-set angle adapter and a storage box instead of carton packaging. Meanwhile the cheaper listing's own spec table says 'Voltage: 230 Volts' while its title and bullets say 3.6V; that 230V is the mains input of the charger, not the tool in your hand. In short, the headline price tells you less than the contents of the box. We ranked ten electric screwdrivers sold on Amazon on four criteria: the numbers in the listing, whether those numbers agree with each other, what the price actually buys, and how many buyers left a rating. In practice, the second criterion removes more products than the first, and where a listing contradicts itself we show both figures. One shopper wants a cordless electric screwdriver with 6Nm for flat-pack; another wants a precision tool at 0.15 N·m. This list covers both ends, which is why the best electric screwdriver here is not the same tool for everyone. ## The ranking ### 1. Bosch IXO 7 Cordless Screwdriver, 3.6V, Angle Attachment - Price: £41.23 | Amazon rating: 4.6 from 8,624 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-electric-screwdrivers/bosch-ixo-7-cordless-screwdriver - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BQYW8LZ4?tag=ranked10-21 The best electric screwdriver on evidence here: 8,624 ratings at 4.6 stars on a 3.6V, 2.0Ah, 5.5Nm tool for £41.23. First place comes from the size of the rating pool, not from the size of the motor. 8,624 buyers have rated this 4.6 stars, against 1,508 for the near-identical Bosch listed further down. In practice you are looking at the same tool twice over: 3.6V, 2.0Ah, 5.5Nm, 235 RPM and 330g, with the same claim of 190 screws from one charge. However, the £20.72 difference is an off-set angle adapter and a storage box, and this version includes neither. What it does include is the angle-screw attachment, ten standard bits and a micro-USB cable, in carton packaging. The tool weighs 330g and lists at 12 x 4.6 x 14.7cm as a package, so it fits a kitchen drawer and reaches into a flat-pack carcass without a wrist workout. Meanwhile the 2.0Ah lithium-ion cell is the same one Bosch quotes across the IXO range, and the attachment interface takes the drill, corkscrew and cutter heads sold separately. Bosch quotes 20 percent more torque than the previous generation. Worth noting, though: the spec table lists 'Voltage: 230 Volts' while the title and bullets say 3.6V. That 230V is the input of the mains charger, not the tool in your hand. At the same time, 5.5Nm is screwdriver torque, not drill torque, so this will not touch masonry. If you want the off-set adapter or a proper storage box, buy the other IXO; if you want the cheapest route into the same motor, this is it. Pros: 8,624 ratings at 4.6 stars is the largest buyer base in this list; 3.6V, 2.0Ah and 5.5Nm for £41.23 — £20.72 less than the other IXO 7 here; Bosch quotes 190 screws per charge from a 330g body, 12cm long; Angle-screw attachment, 10 standard bits and micro-USB cable included; Ranks 2nd in Amazon's Drill Drivers category Cons: Its own spec table says 'Voltage: 230 Volts' against 3.6V in the title; No off-set angle adapter, and packaging is a carton rather than a box; 5.5Nm and 235 RPM will not drive screws into masonry; 2 of the 100 histogram ratings are 1 star ### 2. HOTO O1 Pro Electric Screwdriver Set, 12 Bits, USB-C - Price: £31.99 | Amazon rating: 4.6 from 3,547 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-electric-screwdrivers/hoto-electric-screwdriver-set - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08Z74BLX9?tag=ranked10-21 Second on battery life: HOTO claims over 1,000 screws per charge from 1,500mAh, against 190 for the Bosch above. Second place rests on one figure: over 1,000 screws on a single charge from a 1,500mAh battery, against 190 for the Bosch above. For anyone shortlisting on endurance rather than peak torque, that is the strongest claim in this list. It does it at 4 N·m in electric mode, so it is a light-duty tool rather than a substitute for the IXO's 5.5Nm. In practice, this electric screwdriver set is the point. You get 12 S2 steel bits rated up to 60HRC across five bit types, plus an aluminium storage box, for £31.99 — £9.24 less than the Bosch. The tool is 250g and 17.9cm long, with a circular LED that lights the work without casting a shadow, and USB-C charging rather than micro-USB. Meanwhile the smart sensor stops rotation the moment you release the trigger, which matters when you are driving small screws into softwood or chipboard. That said, 4 N·m in electric mode is modest, and the manual mode's 8 N·m only applies when you use it as a hand screwdriver. There is no angle attachment and no drill function. If your jobs are furniture, light installation and electrical fittings, it is enough; if you are building a deck, it is not. Pros: Over 1,000 screws per charge claimed from a 1,500mAh battery; 250g body, 17.9cm long, charged over USB-C; 12 S2 steel bits rated to 60HRC in an aluminium storage box; Three torque settings: 4 N·m electric, 8 N·m manual; £31.99 is £9.24 less than the top-ranked Bosch Cons: 4 N·m electric torque is the lowest powered figure in the top two; No angle or off-set adapter for edge and corner screws; Not a drill, and no percussion function; 3 of the histogram ratings are 1 star ### 3. HYCHIKA 3.6V Cordless Screwdriver, 6Nm, 35 Accessories - Price: £31.45 | Amazon rating: 4.4 from 3,618 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-electric-screwdrivers/hychika-6nm-cordless-screwdriver - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07RFPX4XP?tag=ranked10-21 Third on headline torque: 6Nm and a 2,000mAh battery for £31.45, but the listing names two different charging cables. By the numbers this is the torquiest tool in the list: 6Nm, more than the Bosch's 5.5Nm and the WORX's 5Nm, with a 2,000mAh battery for £31.45. Judged on paper alone it would top a best electric screwdriver chart on torque per pound. In practice the listing undercuts itself: one bullet describes a 'USB micro charging cable' while the spec section lists a 'Type C charging cable'. Both cannot be right, and the quoted charging time is 2 to 5 hours, the slowest here. What is not in doubt is the accessory count. This 3.6V cordless screwdriver arrives with 35 pieces, a 6.35mm quick-change chuck and a self-locking spindle that lets you apply manual torque without the motor. A front LED and a separate rear flashlight cover dark corners, and the handle rotates between two positions. Its 180 RPM motor is the slowest in the top five, which means more control and longer job times. The catches are weight and speed. At 950g as listed it is nearly three times the 330g Bosch — much of that is the case and the accessories, but it is not a drawer tool. It also cannot decide whether it charges by micro-USB or Type-C, and at 180 RPM it is slower than both the Bosch and the WORX. If you want one small screwdriver for a kitchen drawer, this is more kit than you need. Pros: 6Nm is the highest torque figure in this top ten; 2,000mAh battery and 35 accessories for £31.45; Self-locking spindle allows manual torque without the motor; Front LED plus a separate rear flashlight; 6.35mm quick-change chuck takes standard bits Cons: One bullet says micro-USB while the spec section says Type C; 950g as listed — the heaviest item in this list; 180 RPM is slower than the Bosch and WORX motors; Charging takes 2 to 5 hours ### 4. Bosch IXO 7 with Off-Set Angle Adapter and Storage Box - Price: £61.95 | Amazon rating: 4.7 from 1,508 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-electric-screwdrivers/bosch-ixo-7-cordless-screwdriver-rr13 - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BCH4RR13?tag=ranked10-21 Fourth: the same IXO 7 as number one, but £61.95 with an off-set angle adapter and a storage box instead of carton packaging. This is the second IXO 7 here, and the tool figures are identical to the first: 3.6V, 2.0Ah, 5.5Nm, 235 RPM, 330g and 190 screws per charge. It costs £61.95 against £41.23, a £20.72 gap for the same body. Crucially, its Voltage line reads 3.6V, which is what the cheaper listing's 230V line should have said. The extra money buys hardware, not performance. You get an IXO angle-screw adapter and an IXO off-set angle adapter, which drive screws on edges and around corners where a straight tool cannot reach. That is why it ranks here rather than lower: for kitchen units, cabinet hinges and drawer runners, the off-set adapter solves a real problem. It also ships in a storage box rather than a carton, and the listed 17 x 10 x 25cm reflects the box, not the tool inside it. Even so, £20.72 is a lot for two adapters and a box if a straight screwdriver will do. The rating pool is smaller too: 1,508 ratings at 4.7 stars against 8,624 at 4.6 for the cheaper listing, so there is less evidence behind the higher score. If you never screw near a corner, or you already own the adapters, buy the £41.23 version instead. Pros: Off-set angle adapter reaches screws on edges and around corners; Angle-screw adapter plus a storage box included; 4.7 stars from 1,508 ratings is the joint-highest score in this list; Same 3.6V, 2.0Ah, 5.5Nm, 235 RPM and 330g as the £41.23 version; Voltage listed correctly as 3.6V, not the charger's 230V Cons: £20.72 more than the other IXO 7 for the same tool body; Fewer ratings (1,508) than the cheaper identical listing (8,624); Still a 5.5Nm screwdriver, not a drill; Listed 17 x 10 x 25cm is the box, so it needs shelf space ### 5. WORX WX240 4V Cordless Mini Screwdriver, 5Nm, 24 Bits - Price: £29.50 | Amazon rating: 4.5 from 1,007 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-electric-screwdrivers/worx-wx240-mini-screwdriver - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08BHR7JJX?tag=ranked10-21 Fifth: 5Nm and 300 RPM in an 18.3cm body for £29.50, with 24 bits — but the listing gives two different voltages. The WX240 is the best mini electric screwdriver shape here: 18.3cm long, 3.5cm wide and 670g as listed, with 24 bits and a 50mm PH2 impact bit in the kit for £29.50. Its 300 RPM motor is the fastest in this top ten, and at 5Nm it sits within half a Newton metre of the Bosch. Three gear settings let you step the torque down for small fasteners, which is rare at this price. Two things are worth noting before you buy. The listing calls it '4V Cordless' and lists Voltage as 4 Volts, while a bullet says it 'operates at 3.6V (4V MAX)' — 4V is the peak of a 3.6V cell, not a second battery. And the spec table's 'Battery Power: 4' carries no unit at all, so it tells you nothing; the item name says 1.5Ah. Meanwhile the dual LED, the magnetic holder and the USB charging cable cover most small jobs, and the warranty runs to three years if you register it online. By contrast with the Bosch, there is no angle attachment and no drill function, and 670g is heavier than the 330g IXO despite the smaller body. The catch is the rating spread: 6 of 100 histogram ratings are 1 star, the highest proportion in this list. If you want one small powered tool for electronics and flat-pack, it works; if you want more torque for long screws into timber, look at the 6Nm HYCHIKA or either IXO. Pros: 300 RPM is the highest motor speed in this top ten; 18.3cm body with 24 screwdriver bits for £29.50; Three gear torque settings up to 5Nm; Three-year warranty when registered online; Includes a 50mm PH2 impact bit and a magnetic holder Cons: Listed as 4V while a bullet says it operates at 3.6V; 'Battery Power: 4' in the spec table carries no unit; 670g is heavier than the 330g Bosch despite the smaller body; 6 of 100 histogram ratings are 1 star ### 6. JOREST 155-in-1 Mini Electric Precision Screwdriver Set - Price: £49.99 | Amazon rating: 4.5 from 966 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-electric-screwdrivers/jorest-155-in-1-screwdriver - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FGD267SS?tag=ranked10-21 Sixth: a precision electric screwdriver with 0.15–0.75 N·m across five levels, 140 bits and 1,500 screws per charge for £49.99. Sixth place, and first at a different job. The JOREST is a precision electric screwdriver: 0.15 to 0.75 N·m across five adjustable levels, plus a 7 N·m manual mode for screws that are factory-tightened with threadlock. No other tool here goes that low, which is exactly what phones, laptops and consoles need. It ranks 1st in Amazon's Screwdriver Sets category and 120th in DIY & Tools overall — the best category position in this top ten. In practice the numbers hold together. A 500mAh rechargeable battery, a 200 RPM motor, one hour to full charge and a tested 1.5 hours of continuous running, quoted as 1,500 screws undone. You get 140 precision bits across 11 head styles and 13 extra accessories, including an anti-static wrist strap and a magnetic mat. The 940g listed weight is the case and contents, not the tool, and the magnetic case is labelled so bits go back in the right slot. That said, 0.15–0.75 N·m will not move a furniture bolt, and the 7 N·m only applies when you turn it by hand. At £49.99 it is also the second dearest item here, and 200 RPM is slower than the WORX's 300 RPM. If your jobs are wardrobes and shelf brackets, this is the wrong shape of tool; if they are a MacBook or a PS5, it is the right one. Pros: Five torque levels from 0.15 to 0.75 N·m, plus 7 N·m by hand; 140 precision bits and 13 accessories, including an anti-static strap; 500mAh battery, 1 hour charge, tested for 1,500 screws; Ranked 1st in Amazon's Screwdriver Sets category; Magnetic labelled case keeps every bit organised Cons: Electric torque of 0.75 N·m is far too low for furniture bolts; 200 RPM is slower than the WORX WX240's 300 RPM; £49.99, and 940g as listed to carry; 4 of 100 histogram ratings are 1 star ### 7. HOTO PixelDrive Electric Screwdriver, Smart Display, 30 Bits - Price: £79.99 | Amazon rating: 4.6 from 737 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-electric-screwdrivers/hoto-pixeldrive-electric-screwdriver - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FKBJL68H?tag=ranked10-21 Seventh: six torque settings from 0.5 to 6 N·m and a screen showing live torque, at £79.99 — the dearest tool in the list. At £79.99 this is the most expensive tool in the list, and what you pay for is control rather than power. Six torque settings run from 0.5 to 6 N·m, covering gadget repairs at the bottom and furniture assembly at the top, and the built-in screen shows the torque level and battery charge as you work. The best electric screwdriver for a mixed bag of jobs is usually the one with the widest range, and this has the widest here. The trigger works in two stages: a half press gives 80 RPM for precision work, a full press gives 200 RPM for speed. Meanwhile a 2,000mAh battery charges over USB-C, and a 360-degree LED ring lights the screw head rather than the wall behind it. You get 30 bits — 20 long and 10 short — across 20 types, in a triple-layer cylinder case. At 317g and 198mm long it is lighter than the WORX and roughly the same length. Even so, it is £30 more than the JOREST precision set and £38.76 more than the top-ranked Bosch, and 6 N·m will not drive a long screw into hardwood. The listing also gives 'HOTO' as the part number and no weight for the case. If you want one rechargeable electric screwdriver that covers electronics and flat-pack, the range is genuinely wide; if you want the cheapest competent tool, this is not it. Pros: Six torque settings from 0.5 to 6 N·m cover tiny screws and flat-pack; Smart display shows live torque level and battery charge; Two speeds: 80 RPM on a half press, 200 RPM on a full press; 2,000mAh battery with USB-C charging and a 360-degree LED ring; 30 bits (20 long, 10 short) across 20 types in a cylinder case Cons: £79.99 is the highest price in this top ten; 6 N·m will not drive long screws into hardwood; The listing's part number field simply reads 'HOTO'; 317g body plus a cylinder case to store ### 8. Hi-Spec 3.6V USB Power Screwdriver & 19-Piece Tool Kit - Price: £21.24 | Amazon rating: 4.6 from 892 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-electric-screwdrivers/hi-spec-pink-screwdriver-kit - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DQ88JCGX?tag=ranked10-21 Eighth: £21.24 buys the cheapest powered tool here plus a 19-piece hand tool kit, but its torque is listed in the wrong unit. Cheapest powered tool here at £21.24, and it comes with more than a screwdriver: a hammer, pliers, hand screwdrivers and a bit set in a portable toolbox, 19 pieces in total. The motor runs at 220 RPM and the 1,300mAh battery is quoted at over 480 screws, recharging in 3 to 5 hours over USB-C. If you are equipping a first flat, the price per item is hard to argue with. Worth noting what the listing says about torque: '4 Newton Millimeters'. Every other tool here quotes Newton metres, and 4 N·mm would be 0.004 N·m, a figure no screwdriver could work at. The number is almost certainly meant to be 4 N·m, but as written it is meaningless, so treat the torque claim with caution. The tool itself weighs 0.7lb, about 318g, while the kit lists at 800g — the toolbox carries the bulk. That said, this is light-duty equipment. Hi-Spec's own bullet says 'not for drilling', and 220 RPM with a single speed means no torque adjustment. The colour is pink, which is either why you are buying it or why you are not. If you need to drive screws into anything harder than a flat-pack panel or a plasterboard fixing, spend a little more on the WORX at £29.50 or the best cordless screwdriver in this list, the Bosch at £41.23. Pros: £21.24 is the lowest price for a powered screwdriver here; 19-piece kit adds a hammer, pliers and hand screwdrivers; 1,300mAh battery quoted at over 480 screws per charge; 0.7lb (about 318g) tool body, charged over USB-C in 3–5 hours; 220 RPM single speed suits quick assembly jobs Cons: Torque listed as '4 Newton Millimeters' — the wrong unit by a factor of 1,000; Single speed, with no torque adjustment; The listing states it is not for drilling; Kit lists at 800g, so the toolbox carries the bulk ### 9. BLACK+DECKER BCF611CK-GB 3.6V Cordless Screwdriver - Price: £24.99 | Amazon rating: 4.5 from 686 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-electric-screwdrivers/black-decker-bcf611ck-screwdriver - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B097114TT4?tag=ranked10-21 Ninth: 15 minutes of charging for 100 screws and 5.5Nm, but the spec table claims 2,500 RPM. The headline here is charging speed: 15 minutes gives enough charge to drive up to 100 screws, the fastest top-up claimed in this list. It also matches the Bosch's 5.5Nm and carries a 2-year manufacturer warranty. At £24.99 it undercuts everything above it except the Hi-Spec kit. On those numbers it is a sensible second screwdriver for occasional flat-pack work. However, one spec line does not hold up. The table lists Speed as '2,500 RPM'. Every other 3.6V screwdriver here runs between 180 and 300 RPM, and 2,500 RPM is drill territory rather than screwdriver territory. Nothing else in the listing gives a motor speed to check it against — the bullets describe only the rapid charging system — so treat that figure as suspect until the listing explains it. The practical case is otherwise straightforward: a compact body for tight spaces, an LED worklight, a bit set and a storage case, plus a rapid USB charger. It weighs 680g as listed, more than double the 330g Bosch. If you want a cheap spare for a toolbox, fine; if you want the best electric screwdriver in this list on evidence, the IXO has 8,624 ratings behind it against 686 here. Pros: 15 minutes of charging drives up to 100 screws; 5.5Nm matches the Bosch IXO 7, for £24.99; 2-year manufacturer warranty; Compact body with LED worklight, bit set and storage case; Rapid USB charging system Cons: Spec table lists 2,500 RPM, with no other speed figure to check it against; 680g as listed, more than double the 330g Bosch IXO; 686 ratings is the second-smallest pool in this top ten; 4 of 100 histogram ratings are 1 star ### 10. HOTO 25-Piece Electric Screwdriver Set, 1500mAh, USB-C - Price: £39.99 | Amazon rating: 4.5 from 483 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-electric-screwdrivers/hoto-electric-screwdriver-25-piece - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BY6YLJQV?tag=ranked10-21 Tenth: 4 N·m electric and 8 N·m manual, a 1,500mAh battery and a full USB-C charge in under 150 minutes for £39.99. Last place, on the smallest rating pool here: 483 ratings at 4.5 stars. The tool is close to the HOTO O1 Pro above — three torque settings, 4 N·m electric and 8 N·m manual — but it costs £8 more at £39.99 and carries 24 S2 bits rather than 12. The battery is the same 1,500mAh, quoted as a full charge in under 150 minutes over USB-C. In practice the differences are packaging and extras. You get 24 S2 bits at C6.3 x 25mm, one 50mm PH2 extended bit, a 60mm extension rod and a magnetic storage case, which makes a neater electric screwdriver set for furniture assembly than the O1 Pro's aluminium box. The shadowless circular LED comes on automatically, and the built-in smart sensor stops rotation the moment you release the button. The catch is value. At £39.99 it is £8 more than the near-identical O1 Pro and £1.24 less than the top-ranked Bosch IXO, while offering less torque than either the Bosch's 5.5Nm or the HYCHIKA's 6Nm. If you want the extension rod and the magnetic case, it earns its place; if you want the best electric screwdriver for furniture assembly on price per Newton metre, the O1 Pro at £31.99 is the better buy. Pros: Three torque settings: 4 N·m electric, 8 N·m manual; 1,500mAh battery, full USB-C charge in under 150 minutes; 24 S2 bits, a 60mm extension rod and a 50mm PH2 bit; Magnetic storage case keeps the set organised; £1.24 cheaper than the top-ranked Bosch IXO Cons: 4 N·m electric torque is below the Bosch's 5.5Nm and the HYCHIKA's 6Nm; 483 ratings is the smallest pool in this list; £8 more than the near-identical HOTO O1 Pro above it; 1 of 100 histogram ratings is 1 star and 3 are 2 star ## Verdict For most homes, the best electric screwdriver here is the £41.23 Bosch IXO 7: 235 RPM, 5.5Nm and 190 screws per charge covers flat-pack furniture and cupboard doors, and the angle attachment reaches edges. If you drive screws around corners or want the kit to live in a box, the £61.95 version adds an off-set angle adapter and a storage box for £20.72 more. Meanwhile, if budget decides it, the pink Hi-Spec 3.6V kit at £21.24 throws in a hammer, pliers and hand screwdrivers with the powered tool, though its own spec table lists torque as '4 Newton Millimetres'. And if precision work on laptops and consoles matters more than furniture, the JOREST 155-in-1 at £49.99 offers 0.15–0.75 N·m of controlled torque in a far smaller body. Either way, the best electric screwdriver is the one whose spec table you have actually read.
