The best electric screwdrivers, compared.
Top pick: Bosch IXO 7 – Highest score in this set: 4.6 from 8,706 reviews, 2.0 Ah, 5.5 Nm and an angle head at about £41.90. Best value: HYCHIKA SD-4F – 6 Nm and 2000 mAh printed at about £17.89, with 4.4 from 2,060 reviews, and no numbered clutch in the bullets. Updated October 2026.
An electric screwdriver on amazon.co.uk is a small cordless driver: a 3.6 V or 4 V max stick, or a folding-handle tool, with a built-in lithium cell. You use one for flat-pack, hinges and faceplates. You keep a drill for holes and for long timber screws. Judge a listing by the printed torque, a clutch you can lower, a charge lead you can replace, a bit that stays put, and a box that matches the contents line. Full torque is the wrong setting for particle board. The [electric screwdriver buying guide](/hub/screws-and-accessories/electric-screwdriver/sub/electric-screwdriver-buying-guide) sets out the checks before the stars. It is for cams, cupboard screws, hinges and faceplates. Holes, masonry, decking and coach screws need a drill or an impact driver. ManoMano's UK guide puts this class around a 10 Nm ceiling and drill drivers around 40. Where this set prints a figure, the top is 6.

Question 1 of 2
What are you fastening?
Across 8,706 amazon.co.uk reviews the Bosch IXO 7 Amazon Edition is listed at 4.6 stars and £41.90. The title prints 3.6 V, 2.0 Ah, and 5.5 Nm, with an angle attachment, 10 bits, and a micro-USB cable in a carton. UK reviews describe it as a light household screwdriver for furniture and for people who want less strain, and several mark it down because the hard case in older kits or in photos is not in this box. The specification table also prints 230 V, which fights the 3.6 V title. On this set's scores it is the top pick for everyday cupboard screws when you want the angle head and can live without a hard case.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Household screws where a light stick and an angle head matter.
Less suitable: A job that needs a hard case, or holes and long timber screws.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Bosch IXO come with a charger?
The included line names a micro-USB cable and carton packaging. It does not name a mains plug.
Is there a hard case?
This Amazon Edition lists carton packaging. UK reviews expected a hard case from photos or from an older kit.
Why does the listing say 230 V?
The title says 3.6 V and 2.0 Ah. The specification table prints 230 Volts. That figure is recorded as printed and is not treated as the motor voltage.
The Fanttik S2 Pro is listed at 4.6 stars from 1,161 amazon.co.uk reviews and £85.49. Bullets print seven torque steps from 0.5 Nm to 6 Nm, 250 rpm, a 2000 mAh cell, USB-C, 20 bits, and a 90° adapter. UK reviews praise the steps, the angle head, and PC work. One UK review says the tool is heavy and that the clutch did not hold, chewing screws or cutting out early. The technical block also says 1 AA batteries required, which fights the 2000 mAh line. The table weight is 1.03 kg.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Electronics and furniture when you need a low numbered step.
Less suitable: A tight budget, or anyone who needs the clutch limit to be beyond dispute.
Specifications
Common questions
Can the Fanttik S2 Pro do delicate screws?
The bullets list a 0.5 Nm step as well as steps up to 6 Nm. One UK review says the lowest setting still chewed screws.
What battery does the listing state?
The capacity line says 2000 mAh lithium-ion. The same technical block says 1 AA batteries required. Both lines are in the extract.
Does it reach around a corner?
The included components name a 90° angle adapter. UK reviews describe using it in tight spaces.
The Bosch GO 3 is listed at 4.5 stars from 2,469 amazon.co.uk reviews and £56.50. Bullets describe seven torque settings, a 1/4 inch bit locker, an LED ring, a USB-C cable, and a mini case, at 320 g. The specification block does not print voltage, speed, or a maximum newton-metre. UK reviews praise it on flat-pack where a drill is too big, and they complain about price, the button position, and push-to-start. One review says five clutch positions, not seven. One says the cable was missing.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Repetitive small screws when you want a clutch and a case.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a printed maximum newton-metre before they buy.
Specifications
Common questions
What torque does the Bosch GO 3 list?
The bullet says a clutch with 7 torque settings. The specification block does not print a maximum in newton-metres.
Does it include a case and a cable?
The included line names a mini case and a USB-C cable. One UK review says the cable was missing on arrival.
How do you start it?
UK reviews describe push-to-start plus a button. They also say the button sits in an awkward place and that there is no variable-speed trigger.
The WORX WX240 is listed at 4.5 stars from 1,018 amazon.co.uk reviews and £29.99. It prints 5 Nm, 300 rpm, three torque steps, a dual LED, and 24 bits. The title says 4 V and the bullet says 3.6 V (4 V max). UK reviews call it enough for household screws so the large drill stays put, and they mention USB-C. One UK review says it would not take a second charge. The table weight is 670 g. A hard case is described in reviews and is not in the included-components line.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A second driver in a drawer for light household screws.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a confirmed wall plug and a case named in the box list.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the WORX WX240 4 V or 3.6 V?
The title says 4 V. The bullet says 3.6 V (4 V max). The specification table says 4 Volts.
Does it include a wall charger?
The included line names a USB charging cable. One UK review says no USB wall charger was in the box.
How many torque settings does it have?
The bullet and a UK review say three settings, changed with a button and shown by lights.
The BLACK+DECKER BCF611CK-GB is listed at 4.5 stars from 709 amazon.co.uk reviews and £20.00. It prints 3.6 V and 5.5 Nm, with a rapid USB charger, a bit set, a storage case, and an LED. UK reviews call it a light flat-pack tool and not a site drill. The speed line prints 2500 rpm, which is an outlier next to the 180–300 rpm figures on the other sticks, so that figure is shown as printed rather than treated as checked. Amp-hours and a clutch are not in the extract. The table weight is 680 g.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Household screws when you want a charger and a case in the box.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a confirmed speed, a clutch, or an amp-hour figure.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the BLACK+DECKER come with a charger?
Included components name a rapid USB charger, a bit set, and a storage case.
Will it assemble furniture?
The listing question is unanswered. UK reviews describe flat-pack at home and say it is not a building-site tool.
How fast is it?
The specification line prints 2500 rpm. That is far above the other screwdrivers in this set and is not confirmed by a separate BLACK+DECKER sheet in this extract.
The HYCHIKA SD-4F is listed at 4.4 stars from 2,060 amazon.co.uk reviews and £17.89. The listing prints 6 Nm, a 2000 mAh cell, 180 rpm, a two-position handle, a front LED, and a Type-C cable, at 340 g. UK reviews use it for furniture and loose screws and talk about a long run from a charge. It does not print numbered clutch steps, and the included line does not name a case. One UK review says the tips were not magnetic, against the magnetic-chuck bullet. On this set it is the best value when the budget is under £20 and a numbered clutch is not the priority.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Furniture screws on a small budget if you do not need numbered clutch steps.
Less suitable: Electronics that need a low numbered clutch, or a hard case in the box.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the HYCHIKA have torque settings?
The bullet prints a 6 Nm maximum. It does not list numbered clutch steps.
Is the chuck magnetic?
The bullet says a 6.35 mm magnetic chuck. One UK review says the tips did not hold screws and wishes they were magnetic.
Does it come with a case?
The included line names 20 accessories and a Type-C cable. It does not name a case.
The Draper 83568 is listed at 4.4 stars from 422 amazon.co.uk reviews and £27.94. The title names a 3.6 V tool and a 230 V AC charger, with 3.5 Nm and a 1/4 inch hex. The highlight says 11 torque settings, an LED, and a spindle lock. UK reviews use it on flat-pack wardrobes and like the clutch. One says the charge light stayed red. The table weight is 1.19 kg. Bit counts disagree: 50 in the included line and 54 in the highlight.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Flat-pack when you want a named mains charger and a clutch.
Less suitable: A light inline stick, or a job that needs a printed speed and amp-hour figure.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Draper include a mains charger?
The title says 230 V AC charger. The tool voltage in the table is 3.6 V.
How many bits are included?
Included components say 50 screwdriver bits. The highlight says 54 × 25 mm bits.
Can the handle change position?
A UK review describes a top button that lets the handle rotate, and says it was easy to miss.
The cupeohome kit is listed at 4.4 stars from 133 amazon.co.uk reviews and £19.99. It prints 3.6 V, 5 Nm, 200 rpm, and four torque gears, with an LED. The box list includes 32 bits and 66 screws, so the 105-in-1 title is not 105 driver bits. UK reviews like it for small screws, including inside a computer and on a model car. One would not recommend it for heavier work. The bullet says micro-USB and a review says USB-C. One box arrived damaged.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Small screws and light jobs, not heavier fixings.
Less suitable: Heavier furniture fixings, or anyone who treats 105-in-1 as 105 driver bits.
Specifications
Common questions
What does 105-in-1 include?
The included line lists 32 driver bits, 66 screws, five rods, a box, and a magnetizer, plus the screwdriver and a cable. The screws are part of the count.
Which charge port does it use?
The bullet says any micro-USB cable. A UK review praises USB Type-C. Both are recorded.
Is it strong enough for furniture?
The bullet names furniture assembly. One UK review says it is all right for light jobs and not strong enough for heavier work.
The Amazon Basics screwdriver by SKIL is listed at 4.3 stars from 918 amazon.co.uk reviews and £20.99. The bullet prints 300 rpm, 5 Nm, three torque steps, a 2000 mAh cell, USB-C, two LEDs, and a 10-piece bit set, at 299 g. UK reviews use it for flat-pack and for IT screws, and one compares the body with a WORX stick. One review says the hex bits are imperial. Another says the torque button is easy to hit by mistake. The shipment line does not name a storage case.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Flat-pack at a mid-entry price if you check the bits.
Less suitable: UK furniture screws if the supplied hex bits turn out imperial.
Specifications
Common questions
Who makes the Amazon Basics screwdriver?
The title says it is a 3.6 V rechargeable electric screwdriver by SKIL, model ASD2401-01E.
Are the bits suitable for UK furniture?
One UK review says the supplied hex bits are imperial and that the listing did not say so. Another review thought the heads were not magnetic.
Does it have a torque control?
The bullet says three settings, low, medium, and high. A UK review says the torque button is easy to press while you hold the tool.
This MQFORU kit is on amazon.co.uk at £13.99 under URL B0CY1GCYHV. The extract's ASIN line prints B09RZCQXYK and 4.2 stars from 2,478 reviews. The table says 3.6 V, 3 Nm, and 440 g, with a folding handle, an LED, a USB cable, and a large bit kit. UK reviews praise flat-pack and the pink case, and they complain about charging often. One says it died after three months. Much of the review text also appears on B0CP1R4881, which prints a different weight, so the two stay separate.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A first cheap kit if you accept the durability reviews.
Less suitable: A daily driver, or anyone who needs the URL ASIN and the printed ASIN to match.
Specifications
Common questions
Which ASIN is this MQFORU listing?
The amazon.co.uk URL is B0CY1GCYHV. The extract's ASIN line prints B09RZCQXYK, and the 4.2 from 2,478 reviews sits under that line.
Will the drill bits go through wood?
Two twist bits are in the included line. A UK review has not tried them and does not expect them to go through wood.
How long did reviewers say it lasted?
One UK review in this file says it lasted three months and then failed. Other reviews praise it for flat-pack. The same texts overlap the other MQFORU ASIN.
This second MQFORU listing, ASIN B0CP1R4881, is also £13.99 and 4.2 stars, here from 2,474 reviews. The title matches the other MQFORU kit. The table prints 3.5 Nm and 1.1 kg, while the bullet says 3 Nm and the other file's table says 440 g. UK review text overlaps, including praise for flat-pack and complaints about battery life. A review present in this file says the tool died on the second use. Treat the two ASINs as separate rows with conflicting specifications.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Only if you accept a second, conflicting MQFORU listing.
Less suitable: Anyone who wants one agreed weight, torque and review file.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this the same tool as the other MQFORU kit?
Both say MQFORU TY002 at £13.99 with a folding handle. This ASIN is B0CP1R4881, the weight here is 1.1 kg, and the other extract says 440 g. They are not merged.
What torque does this listing print?
The table says 3.5 Nm. The bullet says 3 Nm maximum.
What failed in the reviews?
One UK review in this file says it worked once and would not turn on the second use. Other texts praise flat-pack and overlap the other MQFORU file.
The figure beside each model starts from the amazon.co.uk star line in the extract, then moves for a printed clutch, a named charger or a clear USB-C lead, review volume, and conflicts in the same extract. It is not a laboratory test. The top pick is the Bosch IXO 7, the highest score. The best value is the HYCHIKA SD-4F, because 6 Nm and 2000 mAh are printed at £17.89 with 2,060 reviews, even though its score sits below the IXO. A BBC Gardeners' World round-up names an IXO 7 and a BLACK+DECKER. That is not this comparison. The weights below sum to 100. Eight public sources sit under the page.
Torque and clutch
25%Printed maxima in this set are 3–6 Nm. A clutch you can lower matters on particle board. The Bosch GO 3 bullet lists seven settings and does not print a maximum newton-metre.
Job and form
20%Cams, hinges and faceplates belong here. Holes, masonry, decking and coach screws need a drill. An inline stick reaches into a carcass. A folding handle is easier to lean on and worse in a narrow gap.
Charge lead
15%USB-C is the replaceable lead. A cable-only box still needs a BS 1363 plug. BLACK+DECKER and Draper name a charger. The IXO names a micro-USB cable. 230 V on the IXO table is mains, not the motor.
Bits and case
15%The usual shank is 1/4 inch (6.35 mm). Piece counts swell when screws and sockets are included. UK reviews mark down non-magnetic bits and a missing hard case. This IXO edition is carton-packed.
Review evidence
15%Read the count beside the stars. The IXO is 4.6 from 8,706. The HYCHIKA is 4.4 from 2,060. Cupeohome is 4.4 from 133. The two MQFORU listings overlap and stay in separate rows.
Weight and price
10%Light tables are about 300–340 g. The cell is built in. Extract prices run from £13.99 to £85.49. The £13.99 MQFORU kits draw UK reviews of short charge life and early failure.
Start with the job. Cams, hinges and faceplates suit a 3.6 V stick. Holes, masonry and long timber screws need a drill. Then check printed torque, a clutch you can lower, the charge lead, and whether the box matches the contents line. Extract prices in this set run from £13.99 to £85.49.
A small electric screwdriver on this amazon.co.uk shelf is a cordless stick or a folding-handle driver with a built-in lithium cell, usually 3.6 V, sometimes sold as 4 V max. It is for cams, cupboard screws, hinges and faceplates. Holes, masonry, decking and coach screws need a drill or an impact driver. ManoMano's UK guide puts this class around a 10 Nm ceiling and drill drivers around 40 Nm. Where this set prints a figure, the top is 6 Nm. Torque and the clutch come next.
The IXO title says 3.6 V and 2.0 Ah. The specification table prints 230 Volts. That is UK mains, not the stick. A cable-only box still needs a BS 1363 plug.
Printed maxima here are 3–6 Nm, and the ceiling is the wrong setting for particle board. The Fanttik prints a 0.5 Nm step. One UK review says that step still chewed screws.
The cupeohome 105-in-1 line includes 66 screws. The two MQFORU listings share a title, £13.99 and model TY002, and they print 440 g and 1.1 kg. Keep them apart. Twist bits in a kit are not a timber drill.
The job comes first. Cams and cupboard screws belong on this shelf. Holes, masonry, decking and coach screws need a drill. ManoMano's UK guide puts electric screwdrivers around a 10 Nm ceiling and drill drivers around 40 Nm. Where this set prints a figure, the top is 6 Nm: HYCHIKA 6 Nm, IXO and BLACK+DECKER 5.5 Nm, Fanttik 0.5–6 Nm, Amazon Basics, WORX and cupeohome 5 Nm, Draper 3.5 Nm, and one MQFORU row 3 Nm. The Bosch GO 3 lists seven settings and does not print a maximum newton-metre.
USB-C is the replaceable lead on the GO 3, the Fanttik, Amazon Basics and the HYCHIKA. The IXO names a micro-USB cable and does not name a mains plug. BLACK+DECKER names a rapid USB charger. Draper names a 230 V AC charger. A cable-only box still needs a BS 1363 plug. UK mains are 230 V. Do not read the IXO table's 230 V as the motor, and do not treat BLACK+DECKER 2500 rpm as checked beside sticks at 180–300 rpm. The usual shank is 1/4 inch (6.35 mm).
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You are driving cams, hinges and cupboard screws, and you want a light stick with an angle head. The Bosch IXO 7 is about £41.90, with 5.5 Nm, 2.0 Ah and 4.6 from 8,706 reviews. This edition is carton-packed, and the table also prints 230 V.
You want furniture screws under £20 and you can live without numbered clutch steps. The HYCHIKA SD-4F is about £17.89, with 6 Nm, 2000 mAh and 4.4 from 2,060 reviews. The included line does not name a case.
You already own a 12 V or 18 V driver and you want a stick for faceplates and light screws. The WORX WX240 is about £29.99, with 5 Nm, three lit steps and 4.5 from 1,018 reviews. The title says 4 V and the bullet says 3.6 V, and the table weight is 670 g.
For everyday cupboard screws, the top pick is the Bosch IXO 7 at about £41.90. It is 4.6 from 8,706 amazon.co.uk reviews, with 2.0 Ah, 5.5 Nm and an angle head in the box. This edition is carton-packed, the included line names a micro-USB cable rather than a mains plug, and the specification table also prints 230 V. The best value is the HYCHIKA SD-4F at about £17.89. It prints 6 Nm and 2000 mAh, with 4.4 from 2,060 reviews, and it does not print numbered clutch steps or a case.
Bosch IXO 7
