It has earned itself the BBC Gardeners' World Magazine Best Buy award for best one handed electric screwdriver, because of the way you can easily change bits. It’s lightweight at just 500 g, boasts a comfy rubberised grip, and the internal battery is charged by micro USB. The WORX WX255 is an impressive and versatile electric screwdriver. It comes in a small plastic case that contains a modest but quality selection of screwdriver bits. The 360° ring light on the front does a good job of illuminating the work area, and this version even comes with a pair of accessories- a right angle and off-set adapter for working in tight areas.

It packs a huge amount of power in, with 5.5 Nm of turning force, or torque, and with a whopping micro USB charged 2.0 Ah battery it will drive up to 190 screws on a single charge at 235 rpm – plus a helpful charge level indicator lets you know how much life you have left.

The large trigger is easy to control, and you can’t easily knock the direction selector during use, which was an issue on previous IXO drivers. The shape of the handle is ergonomically designed and features plenty of grippy textured sections.

Lightweight and highly portable, the electric screwdriver won’t replace a full size drill, but it’s one of the best labour saving devices you can keep in your toolbox, garden shed, or garage.Īwarded a BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine Best Buy for a small electric screwdriver, the IXO is on its 7th generation, and boasts a huge amount of power with a high capacity battery, all in a modest and lightweight package. Instead of screwing or unscrewing by hand power alone, you simply pull the trigger and it uses its motor to drive the screw instead, taking all the hard work out of garden projects like making a wooden planter, or putting up a trellis, especially for gardeners with mobility issues. The only thing better than a conventional screwdriver is an electric one and if you’ve ever had to drive in a lot of screws by hand, you’ll understand why an electric screwdriver is such an essential tool. Used to drive in or take out screws of all sizes and with different shaped heads on them, it's an essential companion when performing tasks indoors or around the garden. Whether you're building your own raised beds, putting up garden lighting or popping up a pergola, the most basic hand tool you'll need is a screwdriver.
