Thanks, this comparison is exactly what I was looking for. IKEA 7.2V has a force of 5 newtonmeters and costs 30 euros. Bosch IXO 6 has a force of 4.5 newtonmeters and costs 50 euros. To assemble IKEA furniture, should both work I believe but it’s good to know how much they can. The benefit of Bosch IXO is that you have adapters for 90-degree angle screws and another for corners where I have had problems with the IKEA one on some furniture, BUT you have to buy those separately. Thanks for the video! :)
I purchased the Ikea one 4 Years ago for 10€ because i get a coupon code for 10€ in the IKEA restaurant xD Im surprised that it still works perfectly fine until today. I mean for 10€ its impressive.
I know. The point of this short test, was to push them too, and beyond their limits, and see which one did best in those conditions, as they're fairly similare priced :)
It's probaly posible, if you got some technical skills ( I think you'd have to solder it, after taking the drill apart), and can find a new battery online. However, considering the cost, I think it would be a better option to get a new one instead.. *I'm not a fan of trowing things away, but unfortunally that's often the case with newer stuff, that isn't "meant to be repaired"
@Review Master Nope, I don't think that's what they were designed for. And that was the whole point of this video. To push them to, and beyond their limits, and to see which of them did better in that situation. I'm sorry if that didn't come thru, but thanks for watching, and taking the time to leave a comment tho :)
@Review Master Nah, I don't think so. I could have made a much longer video, only using small scews, but that would've been a bit boring to watch, and wouldn't have shown the difference between the two drills as clearly.. But that's just my opinion tho :)
No problem :) The one from IKEA is great for ligther tasks, but if you're needing a bit more power, you'll get quite a few good deals, if you're not buying one of the "well known brands". I would take a look at online reviews from customers before buying tho :)
@Review Master Yeah, hopefully the Festool would handle it, especially as it 10x the price :P I also have a Ryobi 18V drill, and a compact 10.8V from Meec Tools. Both of them would handle it with ease as well, despite costing something like a third of the Festool. The Festool one will most likely last longer tho, depending on how you use it. But, for my use, which is DIY, and some home renovation, the cheaper Ryobi is more than good enough :)
@Review Master Well, that's not too easy these days. And unfortunally, lots of things (also things NOT made in China) aren't as well built as they used to..
