    Skil IXO

    Anybody tried Skil IXO?
    http://products.consumerguide.com/re...roductId=29868
    I know it is a light duty cordless screwdriver, 3.6V only, probably not enough for real woodworking. But my cordless screwdriver is dying, it is also 3.6V and am used to having one. IXO has a Li-ion battery, supposed to be stronger than my old screwdriver. I have an 18V drill/driver for heavier duty.
    Target near me clears those IXO for $22. Is it worth it?

    I have a review of the Skil Ixo at the link below.
    If you realize it is a light-duty driver, it's fine. The only guys I have heard bad things from expected it to take the place of their full-sized drill/drivers. I also have reviews of the new Bosch small drivers in the Cordless section of our Tool Reviews.

      I have the B&D version. It's one of the better screwdrivers I've used. It holds a charge for months, and seems to run longer that the other drivers I've used. Tom is right that it's just a light duty driver - It can drill small holes, but will bog down on long/large screws.

      It's also great for fitting in tight spaces.
