Because of its compact size, fitting into tight spaces is no problem for any of the iXO models. This new version of the well-known iXO will be sold in a kit that contains a right-angle attachment, which will allow users to get into even more tight spaces and awkward angles. This innovative attachment is perfect for home improvement projects such as assembling cabinets, minor plumbing repairs, or anywhere else that requires you to get into hard to reach places.
The light and powerful iXO3 screwdriver has also been redesigned to handle a wider variety of screws. Even with its included bit set, sometimes you need more control when driving into softer woods or metals. With the iXO3 ‘s precision clutch attachment, configuration, stripping screws and driving too deep are a thing of the past. Perfect for projects that require precision such as computer assembly and model building, this versatile attachment, which is sold separately, is the first of many interchangeable attachments that will be available for the iXO3.
“With the SKIL iXO3, we increased versatility by adding a right angle and precision clutch attachments,” said Dean Peterson, Cordless Product Development Director. “Traditional screwdrivers are often offered as multi-purpose tools, but don't always fit to real life challenges - like working in hard to reach areas. By keeping the end user in mind, SKIL continues to commit to helping DIYers achieve home project success.”
Weighing less than 11 ounces, about forty percent lighter than traditional cordless screwdrivers, the iXO3 is designed to deliver power and performance in a compact, lightweight package. The iXO3 is packed with features, including a built-in work light to illuminate project areas and a magnetized ¼″ hex chuck that ensures easy bit changes. With its lithium ion battery technology, the tool can hold its charge for up to 18 months and is always ready for a home improvement project or an unexpected repair.
The iXO3 comes complete with SKIL’s Energy Star-certified charger, as well as a fully removable 10-piece bit set to make it a functional storage station. The SKIL SmartCharge System™ charger automatically manages the flow of power to the battery, making sure it doesn’t overcharge or overheat, while still allowing users to store the iXO3 on the cradle as an added benefit. The iXO3 will be available at home improvement stores nationwide in October 2008 with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $39.99.
