Innovative Features and Benefits
The SKIL iXO2 comes equipped with a built-in work light to illuminate dimly lit areas like inside cabinets, above a false ceiling, or behind furniture. It also features an easy-to-read LED charge indicator located on the top of the tool that informs the user when it needs to be charged. Additionally, the 1/4-inch hex chuck is now magnetized, ensuring that bits stay in place.

SKIL also added functionality to the cradle charger. The charger now provides convenient built-in bit storage, as well as a fully removable bit set to make it a functional storage station as well. It can even be mounted to a wall for added convenience and flexibility. The SKIL SmartCharge System charger automatically manages the flow of power to the battery, providing temperature and overcharge protection, allowing users to store tools on the cradle as an added benefit. This feature has earned the ixo2 battery charger the Energy Star Compliance certification.

"As the manufacturer who introduced the first lithium ion screwdriver to the North American DIY market, we not only understand the technology but most importantly, understand the end user," said Dean Peterson, product development and marketing director at SKIL Power Tools. "Some of the main hurdles for occasional tool users are the weight and bulkiness of the tool and the fact that cordless tools don't have a charge when the user needs them. With the SKIL iXO, we created a non-intimidating, lightweight, easy-to-handle screwdriver that is always ready for the job, even after months of non-use. With SKIL iXO2, we increased functionality by adding a light for dark spaces, an on-tool fuel gauge, and even more convenient bit storage. It is all part of SKIL'S on-going commitment to help do-it-yourselfers achieve home project success."

The SKIL iXO2 still boasts user-friendly design features from the first generation. The forward/reverse indicator clearly shows users the direction the bit is spinning, and the ergonomic soft-grip handle offers increased comfort.

4 out of 5 stars At Last, An Electric Screwdriver That Can Be Stored On Its Cradle   November 1, 2009

This is a superb tool for having around the house. After buying Craftsman and other electric screwdrivers, none could be charged all the time, so I'd have to charge them before doing work. That's because the batteries were all nickel cadmium and recharging them constantly ruined them. The IX02, on the other hand, is good to go at any time you are, and it's about time!

You can easily get addicted to having this tool around. It's more rugged than most people give it credit for. No, it won't drill into concrete, but the size and shape also fit the hand (unlike the other straight electric screwdrivers).

This tool also can drill like an ordinary drill, making it two tools in one. Also, if you're into doing your own work on computers, you can shorten your work significantly by having this electric screwdriver.

It's a good value and works. It makes for a an excellent tool and a great gift.

4 out of 5 stars Great for small projects and basic jobs around the house   October 24, 2008

I am very happy with this small cordless screwdriver. It has been great for placing screws in the wall for shelves, hooks, and blinds. Very easy to charge and use. Comes with plenty of different drill bits. Probably would not work for larger projects or putting screws into cement but works well with wood and plaster.

The product works extremely well. It is great for small projects that do not require a lot of tork, such as putting in electrical outlet screws. The newly added feature of the light is a great benefit. Amazon does have it listed by the wrong Brand name, it is not a Bosch name but a Skil brand name. Bosch owns Skil so that must be where the confusion comes from. I bought it becuase of the light because I had the original one without the light and wanted that benefit. I highly recomended it for light duty work.
