need an electric screwdriver for work

spaceboy

Can anyone recommend a decent one, preferably with a lithium battery, not too expensive.

How about one of these?

I use a Bosch IXO, I think its on V4 now but mine is a V3 (they keep making minor upgrades) Its excellent for £25-£30, holds its charge for an incredibly long time when not used, the indicator light gives advance warning that tonight would be a good time to put it on charge.

Its pretty basic but high (professional) quality, as mine is used for engineering (why do our designers use such long bolts? :mad:) I have the optional torque limiter attachment that you can attach (clutch slips when required torque is reached) costs about another £15- probably not needed for woodwork.

What about this, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-Lithium-Ion-Screwdriver-Corkscrew-Attachment/dp/B0040GJ40W for the serious drinker. Also avaliable without the corkscrew.

Too expensive, work would have a fit if I put that through on expenses.

You wont get any better than the Bosch 10.8v lithium driver - or impact driver

This is a good buy, i have somthing similar and as asparky i use it for doing and undoing sockets screws and general light work with ocasional drilling and its handy just to keep in the tool box and 30 mins to charge.

Ebay item number - 200571733326

What kind of work is it you will be using it for?

Mostly for undoing and putting back screws in boxings in buildings.

Must be a s**t company if they think £100 is expensive for a leccy driver that is going to last in a professional environment.
