Bosch Home and Garden Cutter Adapter for IXO

Feels like it’s well built. Extremely smaller than I expected but that’s on me! Easy to store away, looks stylish. Very happy parent for their birthday with this gift.

Like so many other well known makers of DIY power tools, offering a variety of add on's or attachments to enable a greater variety of use from one item, I was somewhat sceptical that this particular small attachment would be nothing more than a short running, underpowered cutter of a variety of materials.But I really was both amazed and delighted to find that it works really, really well and what's more I was also surprised as to just how long it operates on a charge. As a disabled person I have a need to shop mainly online, with the resultant amount of cardboard packaging of differing thickness needing to be cut up small enough to meet the demands of the local council- for me this is a marvellous gadget/attachment, which I hope to be using for many years to come.There is a knack to using it effectively but, within a short while, you wonder why you never got one before- good old Bosch!

Love this attachment - goes on easy enough. Shame it covers the led light on the IXO. When attached it drills well and the drill bits that come with it seem to work nicely.You get 3 small bits. And this won’t be a powerful drill so only expect to drill through thin wood or Plastic. I use it for clay and plastic mainly. It works well.Only issue is that I wish there were easily findable extra bits. I can’t seem to find ones anywhere that replace these - they all have different fittings or Chuck clamp styles to these.

The media could not be loaded. I see a bunch of reviews that complains about this attachment, and I have to say they install the bit wrongly....You need to pull up the black socket in order to put the bit (please see the video)I does do the work without any problems - one thing I did misunderstand was that this doesn't work with drilling bits.So buying this attachment won't let you make your ixo driver into drill.So I will need to buy a drill anyways...if you just need to drill small holes then this will absolutely do the job

Just the job

The off-set adapter for the Bosch IXO screwdriver makes an already very useful little tool even more versatile and helpful. It allowed me to install reinforcing battens between the joists in my garage roof without much trouble at all. The angle of the attachment means you can get the full force of the driver into fairly tight corners or up within a few millimetres of obstructions you normally would struggle with.It would be ideal for assembly of flat pack furniture where there is limited space between adjoining items and would be a real time saver and worth its weight in gold for reducing user fatigue where manual drivers would normally be used.

I had a good number of boxes to cut down to flat to put them in our cardboard recycling bag and I bought this cutter to do the job. Previously I have used Swiss Army knives, "Stanley" type utility knives and scissors. The knives always seem dangerous as I almost always seemed to be cutting towards myself and the scissors was slow. The cutter gets through fairly thick corrugated cardboard with ease. I used it to cut up the Amazon box it was delivered in. Overall I am very pleased with the cutter and also the other IXO accessories I have. The only two I haven't got are the BBQ blower and the spice mill. I might buy the latter for grinding small quantities of spices but as I never have problems with lighting my BBQs (I use a BBQ chimney) I won't be buying the blower for the time being.

For small low powered hand held screwdrivers like this - the accessories are simply superfluous - the screwdriver is good, possibly better than most others of it type, it’s absolutely fine for the repetitive flat pack building, or light wood working type of work it’s intended for - but these accessories are simply a waste of money. They are simply not required at this level of power tools.
