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.

“Love my tiny little Bosch, it is helping me massively with all the flatpack furniture. Very light. It is the first one I have as I always have used manual screwdrivers. I should have bought it before!”

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?

The listing contradicts itself here. The spec table says 'Voltage: 230 Volts' while the title and bullets say 3.6V. The 230V is the mains input of the charger, not the voltage of the tool.

5.5 Newton Meters, which Bosch says is 20 percent more than its predecessor.

How many screws can it drive on one charge?

Up to 190 screws on one charge, from the 2.0 Ah lithium-ion battery.

What is the Bosch IXO 7 recommended for?

The listing gives its recommended uses as screws, drill, pull caps and cut, and says the attachment interface lets it multitask as a drill, corkscrew, cutter and more.
