About

The Bosch IXO has a lot of disadvantages (which I wouldn't recommend buying it, but since I own one, why not make it better?)

  • Runs about 1sec after disengaging
  • Is quite pricy
  • No torque setting
  • One-speed
  • The bit holder won't lock

Adding a locking bit-holder

🚧 If you want to try this, you're doing this at your own risk!


Preparing a locking bit holder

I purchased a cheap, but locking bitholder. Then I cut the hex leaving about 12mm.
