I'm looking to buy a cordless power screwdriver in the price range £30 - £50 with adjustable torque settings and plenty of power. Can anyone recommend a product from experience. I've been looking at the Black & Decker and Bosch ranges so far.
Thanks, John and everyone else who has offered advice. The Bosch IXO may be good enough for my needs but I don't want to spend money on a tool which may prove inadequate. From descriptions and reviews it is hard to tell. Basically, I want to be able to screw 2 inch long screws into wood around the garden. What sort of spec do I need to be able to do this?
Its all a question of what you want. I have a friend who uses an IXO, in a "Trade" situation, and thinks it is very good. You can just put a screwdriver bit in a (preferably cordless because the peed control is better) drill, but if you have a few screws to drive it is like using a steam hammer to crack a nut!
Why i like the Powermaxx is, it also serves as a small light drill, i bought it when a tiny hand drill i had used for over 30 years started to disintegrate. It also comes with two batteries, most screwdrivers have one, and when it goes flat you have to wait.
I use the powermax for pozi screws and so forth, i drive conventional sloted screws with a Yankee screwdriver. If you only drive a dozen crews a month this is a good choice, but they can be dangerous for awkward site work, both to fingers and eyes, but in the workshop its great.
