Rank #1 in Best Electric Screwdriver 2026: 10 Ranked, One Bosch Listed Twice
Bosch IXO 7 Cordless Screwdriver, 3.6V, Angle Attachment
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Bosch IXO 7 is the seventh generation of Bosch's small cordless screwdriver, and it takes the top spot in this guide. The listing here is the £41.23 version: 4.6 stars from 8,624 ratings, a 3.6V, 2.0Ah lithium-ion tool quoted at 5.5Nm and 235 RPM, 330g, and up to 190 screws on one charge. Bosch's own bullets claim 20 percent more torque than the previous generation. The box contains the IXO 7, a 1x angle-screw attachment, 10x standard screwdriver bits, a micro-USB cable and carton packaging.
The finding that puts it at number one is not a test result: it is that the same IXO 7 appears twice in this list, at £41.23 and at £61.95. That is £20.72 more for a listing quoting the same 3.6V, 2.0Ah, 5.5Nm, 235 RPM, 190 screws and 330g, with the difference between the two descriptions being a storage box rather than carton packaging. The cheaper listing also disagrees with itself — its spec table says 'Voltage: 230 Volts' while the title and bullets say 3.6V, and 230V is the mains input of the charger, not the tool in your hand. Every figure on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from testing by us.

Questions people ask
Why is the same Bosch IXO 7 sold at two prices?
The IXO 7 appears twice in this guide, at £41.23 and at £61.95, a £20.72 difference. Both listings quote the same 3.6V, 2.0Ah, 5.5Nm, 235 RPM, 190 screws and 330g; the difference described between them is a storage box instead of carton packaging.
Does the Bosch IXO 7 run on 230 volts?
