Tools and Hardware Reviews of Skil iXO3 2346-05 3.6-Volt Li-Ion Cordless DriverCustomer Review: Light, Compact, Easy to Use -- Great Value Summary: 5 Stars
My 18 volt DeWalt drill, which is great, cannot match this tiny, light driver for ease of use in tight spaces. 3.6 volts is more than adequate for most household driving tasks. Beware, it will round out screw heads if one is not careful. Because it has no clutch it will simply keep turning until you let your finger off the trigger. At this price I would not expect a clutch. I was actually pleasantly surprised at the torque this driver delivers. The right angle attachment makes this model the one to get over the Skil iXO without it. The attachment is sturdy, easy to attach, and works very well.
I have not attempted to drill with this thing. However, its torquey enough that I am sure it would be adequate for light duty jobs. But there are much better options for lightweight drills. To me, this is a specialized driver just for routine driving of screws and bolts around the house.
The light is nice. However, it certainly is not necessary. The scant selection of bits Skil includes with the iXO3 are low quality and will not last long. However, plenty of good quality bits are available at reasonable prices. The cheap bits should not be a deal breaker. All in all a nice tool.
BTW, I actually bought this for my 6 year old son who has been begging for a driver. It fits his small hand and he can handle the 3.6 volts of power. Of course, he lets me borrow it whenever I need it.
