BoschTorque Control Attachment for IXO III (Accessories for IXO Drill Drivers)

This is a great attachment to the BOSCH IXO cordless screwdriver.I recently purchased the Bosch IXO Cordless Lithium-Ion Screwdriver with Right Angle Adapter and Easy-Reach Adapter and rather frustratingly, you do not get the torque adapter. If you purchase the more expensive Bosch IXO Cordless Screwdriver, you get the torque adapter but no others! Not sure why Bosch do not sell the screwdriver with all three. I guess I do feel slightly cheated by this.Having said that, Bosch is a great brand, and this adapter is no exception. Does exactly as it is supposed to. Makes sure you do not overtighten screws. Easy to fit on to the cordless screwdriver, and easy to take off. I did think it was a tad expensive, but in the long run, a great buy.Highly recommended.

Having recently purchases a Bosch IXO handheld screwdriver I was looking at the available optional extras that co-inside with it. Having recently purchased a new house I wanted to get something for the Wife to use (I have a trusty Makita which is perfection) and since we are fans of Ikea I wanted something that would strip the threads or over tighten the screws and fixings. This is great - it is so simple to attach and you can adjust the amount of torque required for different fixings. I have used it to fix sockets, shelves and ALL of the Ikea furniture & I have just fitted our new kitchen using mainly this to screw the worktops together!!!A great addition to a fantastic tool.The IXO itself I would highly recommend - amazing amount of torque and power that lasts. But now with this added piece, its the perfect hand screw driver.

Great little add on, I've only knocked 1 star off due the built-in light being covered up when the chuck is fitted.One thing I have learned from removing the shroud covering the light is that it can go back one of 2 way's. Either as it came off as a spotlight or turned 180 degree's which gives more of a flood light.It does NOT fit in the case as standard.I cut a small piece of the plastic off and added a bit of foam to prevent it rattling around inside.With this minor modification complete all fit's comfortably inside, I've included a photo if anyone else wants to do the same.

Lovely, nice quality attachment that has lasted longer than the screwdriver itself (which now has a dodgy trigger and a rubbish battery)for those wondering what the torque setting are, I did a fairly large amount of digging and from a Bosch design engineer the torque setting are as follows (these depend on how much pressure you apply through the bit hence they are not published as they can be very different if you press very hard on it):1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 100.30 0.46 0.61 0.77 0.92 1.08 1.23 1.39 1.55 1.70 NmInternal average measured data.- I love it, it still works after a number of years what else can you ask for?

Really useful product for adding torque control to my Bosch IXO Cordless Lithium-Ion Screwdriver. Just snaps on and off with a quick twist action and provides an easy method of adding torque settings when you need them. No more over tightening screws and perhaps damaging the heads.Markings are self explanatory with screw graphics representing low (small screw) to high (large screw) torque settings. Only one very tiny problem I felt. Cannot sit the screwdriver in the charging cradle with the torque control attached.

Excellent. I do a lot of work for a friend who runs a business making parts for and repairing miniature steam engines for customers. Many of these have numerous small nuts and bolts thus it can be a tedious chore to resemble or disassemble. The Ixo on its own could shear such delicate parts but the torque chuck ensures speed without disasters. It has proved to a great investment for such work and no tired/aching/seized wrists. It has also proved to be a great diy tool with posidrive screws which damage very easily with too much torque

Great adaptor. We got an IXO kit a few years ago with the other L-angle and offset heads, but this completes the set. It is really useful to torque-down the drive and prevent the device from stripping soft screw heads or tearing the sockets in plastic toys etc. Well worth the money and I'm surprised they don't include it with the kit as there's enough space in the tin. We used a stanley knife to cut a space for it in the foam so everything still fits in the tin with the other adaptors.Note this does not increase the torque, but decreases it allowing finer control. Basically it has an internal clutch mechanism which disengages at a set torque which you change by rotating the dial around the barrel of the adaptor. You can go from full torque of the ixo right down to very light torque that disengages at quite modest resistance.

It does what it's designed to do and it's easy to put on and remove. The quality is very good as always from Bosch. Down side when in place it covers the lights.
