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.

PROS: Small and easy to hold. Sturdy construction with a good set of bits included. Has a good amount of torque and can drive screws into solid wood without any problems.
CONS: The button to switch direction on the tool is too close to the trigger, I'm always hitting it accidentally. No clutch and just one speed, so you have to be careful about using it on delicate or precise jobs. I bought this on a golden box sale, but it still turns out I paid too much. There are other brands with better features for less money.

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.

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.
