Review of Bosch IXO Cordless screwdriver 3.6v with Lithium ion technology

Bosch those shelves onto that wall with ease

Advantages: Easy to use, several 'power' options for various 'jobs' and good battery time
Disadvantages: none for the price.

...I am the proud owner of several DIY tools, from your basic claw hammer to an industrial circular saw, (which, when I use it, still manages to scare the hell out of me sometimes). Anyway, the biggest boon in the Do It Yourself world has got to be the cordless/ battery powered power tool collection, such as saws, sanders, planes and especially the good old cordless power drill, with a vast range of power options. I do own a few of these type of drills, even a JML Dual Drill, which is a true genius in itself, and a few others of different power ratings, including the rather fine Bosch PSB 18VE2, which this review is going to be about. It claims to be the ultimate cordless combi drill which will bore through materials such as wood, masonry and even steel, (of course this depends on the actual drill bit), whilst still be capable...

Review of Bosch PSB 18VE2 - 18V Cordless Hammer Drill

WHY PAY MORE? LESS THAN £5 FOR A SCREWDRIVER KIT? CAN'T BE BAD!

Advantages: Very reasonably priced, does what it is meant to do.
Disadvantages: Basic user guide.

...Review of B&Q Value 3.6v Screwdriver Set This is a change of subject matter for me as I usually review food products, books, DVDs, toiletries and the like, but having purchased this last week I was so impressed that I felt I wanted to share my experiences. The Product and Why I Bought It I am reviewing a rechargeable, cordless screwdriver from the B&Q 'Value' range. Although not usually 'into' DIY, my partner and I are tackling two projects currently, we are converting a panel van into a motor home and about to start constructing a large (10ft x 12 ft) garden shed, which we purchased as a flat pack. With both these projects, there will be plenty of screws to be screwed and panels to be secured, so when in recently B&Q, we decided to have a look at cordless screwdrivers, hoping to save time and effort. We had a cordless...

Review of B&Q UB36SD 3.6V Cordless Screwdriver - 3.6V Cordless Screwdriver

Bosch Twin-Set is a Pearl

Advantages: As useful as a mains hammer drill, except where extremes of power are needed.
Disadvantages: Needs regular use to get the best from the batteries

.../recharged frequently it’s fine. Leave it unused until the actual emergency arrives and it’s useless, it’s limp orange glow being just sufficient to help find the candles and matches! Well, that’s a long preamble to an opinion on a cordless drill but I hope it helps set the scene on cordless tools in general, and the fact that you should only buy them if they are going to get regular use. (Unless they start putting better battery-types in them, that is.) My Swiss-made Bosch 12v Cordless drill (PSB12VSP-2)comes as part of a pair with a smaller tool (PSR 120)intended mainly as a screwdriver (although it drills wood OK), in a smart carrying case. They are both “drill-shaped”, i.e. with a pistol-grip and trigger. Screwfix are currently asking £189 for the set, but I bought mine a few months ago in Hereford for £149...

Review of Bosch PSR - 12V Cordless Drill Driver

Splish splosh, its a Bosch

Advantages: Low noise
Disadvantages: Cutlery compartment is a bit inflexible and bendy

...Introduction Personally, the invention of the dishwasher has been one of the greatest inventions of recent times. As both myself and my wife work, we need to maximize the quality time we get together. What better way to accomplish this than to shove all the pots and pans into a dishwasher, forget about it for a couple of hours and then put them all away when dry. For some reason we seem to have got through dishwashers like there was no tomorrow (the handle broke on one and the motor went kaput on the second) so when we chose our current dishwasher, we studied reviews on reliability as well as performance and the Bosch came out on top. Tour of the Dishwasher Outside The dishwasher has a white metal door, with a white plastic control panel. On the control panel are the power button, the programme dial and 3...

Review of Bosch SGV46M03GB

Our New Washing Machine: It's a Bosch.

Advantages: Quiet and efficient. Good bulid quality
Disadvantages: None so far

.... As I had owned several Bosch tools and found them incredibly reliable and of good quality, I suggested we go this time for a Bosch and having owned this machine now for around 6 months, it was certainly no mistake. We purchased the Bosch ClassiXX6 1200. We got our machine from Comet, who delivered it the following day and took away our old Hoover at no extra cost. Quiet and Powerful I was amazed at the quietness of the machine as it went through its cycle (Noise level washing (dB): 59, noise level spinning (dB): 79). With our old Hoover machine, I had often had to increase the volume of the TV when the thing went into its spin cycle. Enough said! But this Bosch brought a smile to my face as my wife said to me, ?it?s spinning, can you hear it?? I could barely discern a faint noise as I listened carefully. I couldn?t resist but go...

Review of Bosch WAE 24468

Bisch Basch Bosch

Advantages: developms key motor and problem solving skills
Disadvantages: Possible use for launching missiles

...gravitated towards the pink dressing table with vanity mirror and matching hair dryer (he still hasn't gotten over me letting Kyle have two painted toenails!). Instead we opted for the Bosch Workbench my friend had recommended to me some time ago. ***Age Range*** This is advertised as for 3-6 year olds however, we bought it for our active 2 1/2 year old feeling it didn't pose a danger to him - to the house maybe but not to him! ***Is it affordable*** £45.00 which includes a tool set worth £20 which I think is absolutely amazing value for money. ***Availability*** We got ours from the Early Learning Centre but you can get them also from Toys-r-us and direct from the Bosch website. ***Storage*** Granted, this isn't the smallest of toys and it will take up some room. (roughly 100cm tall and 70cm wide) It was a struggle to squeeze it...

Review of Bosch Children's Workbench

BOSCH CLASSIXX DISHWASHER SGS45CO2GB

Advantages: Outstanding cleaning leaving dishes sparkling
Disadvantages: None

...This is a fantastic dishwasher. I have owned 2 dishwashers previously made by different manufactures and neither could compare to this one. It leaves the dishes spotless every time and I never have to use the rinse facility.I only use the dishwasher, on average, on alternate days,so the food has had time to dry on well!! I have never used any program except the energy saving program and find that it cleans so well that I have never tried any other. One slight downside is the lenght of time the program takes, but this is probably the same with all modern dishwashers. Bosch have and above average reliability rating in any survey conducted so I look forward too many years of trouble free use from this machine....

Review of Bosch SGS45C02GB

Compact, lightweight and good value

Advantages: Lightweight, easy to use, effective
Disadvantages: Probably not robust enough for a 'serious' handyman

...I do love my gadgets especially those that I can use for DIY around the house. I believe that if I am going to save money by doing the job myself it makes sense to have a good range of tools to help me in my work. I wanted a little cordless screwdriver to replace an old one that had just about given up the ghost so I went for a wander around B&Q to see what was on offer. Features Personally I didn't want anything too fancy, just a simple screwdriver which would do most simple jobs. I didn't want to pay too much either so I avoided the more expensive brands. Although this wasn't the cheapest screwdriver on offer it did come complete with a canvas case containing 40 screwdriver bits which was what swung it for me. The 40 bits include philips head, pozidrive and straight as well as star, hexagonal, nut drivers and socket...

Review of Ryobi CSD 4030 G - 4V Cordless Screwdriver

Being Bob The Builder

Advantages: Cheap, avoids over tightening and splitting of wood, comes with a protective case
Disadvantages: Poor battery life, "garish" colours, some useless features (the tape and torch)

...Whilst browsing through my local Homebase store I noticed an ?offer? shelf containing several ?power? tools made by Black & Decker. I do not enjoy DIY and I don?t think I ever will, since it?s just not me. Despite my dislike for it DIY is something that has to be done so any tools available that make my life easier are all good in my book. Browsing through the shelf I noticed the HP9048K, which is a 4.8V cordless electric screwdriver made by Black & Decker. At that time I had a load of pictures to hang and since we were basically refurbishing our new property there was loads of flat packed items that needed to be put together and plenty more that would need to be put together in the future. I suddenly found myself thinking I needed a power screwdriver so put one on the trolley. What you get The box contains; i...
