The SKIL iXO compact powered screwdriver is a versatile, easy-to-use tool that deserves a place in every home toolbox. Designed for light-duty tasks, it combines convenience, safety and solid battery performance in a small, ergonomic package.
Key Features
- 4V Max motor with up to 20% longer run time*
- Compact, powerful and lightweight body for comfortable handling

Beyond its role as a compact screwdriver, SKIL has created a clever corkscrew attachment that converts the iXO into a handheld wine opener. This combination is offered as a kit called the VIVO, which merges everyday home repairs with effortless bottle opening.
How the Corkscrew Attachment Works
Using the corkscrew attachment is straightforward. First, remove the foil from the bottle. Fit the corkscrew attachment onto the iXO and slide it down over the bottle neck. Gently squeeze the bottle to stabilize it, then press the trigger so the screw inserts into the cork. Release the trigger and pull the cork out smoothly using the powered screwdriver. The result is a quick, secure extraction that feels more reliable than many standalone powered corkscrews.
This dual-purpose solution makes sense for anyone who prefers a compact, multi-function tool: when you’re not tightening screws, you can be opening wine bottles without reaching for a separate gadget. The lightweight design and long-lasting battery make the iXO VIVO kit ideal for social gatherings, picnics or everyday use around the house.
Why Choose the iXO VIVO Kit?
The iXO VIVO kit appeals to users who value simplicity and practicality. Its strengths include:
- Space-saving versatility: one device covers both minor repairs and bottle opening
- Reliable battery life that avoids frequent recharging
- User-friendly indicators and lighting that make operation intuitive

If you’re looking for a small, dependable powered screwdriver that also doubles as a neat wine opener, the SKIL iXO VIVO kit is an attractive, multifunctional option.
