Bosch IXO Electric Screwdriver

In the first of my 'useful things that are handy for mountainboarding, but aren't absolutely essential' series of articles, is this short one detailing the merits of the....

Bosch IXO Electric Screwdriver!
Small and handy, this tool is perfect for tinkering with the angle of snowboard bindings as it comes direct with the 4mm attachment required.  Featuring ergonomic grip, charging cradle and easy switched forward/reverse operation, this screw driver can reduce a noSno down to the size of a small suitcase in a matter of seconds!  This attachment will also fit MBS Matrix adjustment screws, shaving vital seconds off your changing egg shocks speed record (for the 'Dirt-Box Egg-Shock Speed Change Challenge!').  I paid approximately £35 around 4 years ago from a DIY store and it's still going strong as ever but getting one a bit cheaper on-line should be easy enough.
 
Small enough to pack in a backpack, but also powerful for many jobs around the house too, the Bosch IXO Electric Screwdriver isn't essential, but it is certainly very, very useful.

My brother has one like this and whenever its not powerful enough to turn a screw he twists it like its a screwdriver, keeping the button down, until it is loose enough to turn under its own steam. Not the best treatment for something like this but he's been doing it for the years and the thing still powers on.

He actually offered to give it to me when I was in Oz cos he saw how useful it was for the noSno. I declined (stupidly!) out of kindness as I knew how useful it is to him too! Will have to pick one up.
