Hello everyone, I am currently planning the assembly of my new Ikea PAX wardrobe and was wondering: Which Ikea PAX accessories would you recommend that actually make the assembly process easier? I mean special screwdrivers, connectors, additional inserts, or other tools that are not necessarily included in the basic set but can save time or significantly simplify the assembly when used. I have heard about practical drawer runners, shelves with clip mechanisms, as well as aids like screwdrivers that can make the assembly more organized or faster. I would like to hear experiences that go beyond what is typically mentioned in the instructions, so I can plan my project realistically.

For the assembly itself, I highly recommend using a cordless screwdriver with adjustable torque to avoid over-tightening. I completely agree with that. Additionally, the Pax clamp strips for cabinet doors are helpful; placing them beforehand makes aligning with the help of a spirit level easier. Another useful tool is a small rubber mallet for gently positioning the back panel—this prevents damage during installation.

The profiles provide extra stability, and it feels a bit like working in a professional workshop. Add the magnetic screwdriver bit, and the process goes even faster. And don’t worry: with good planning and the right accessories, you can actually enjoy the assembly.

When it comes to tools, using a magnetic screwdriver bit has proven effective in holding screws securely, especially when working at higher positions. The magnetic screwdriver bit is indeed often underestimated and particularly useful for shelves with parts mounted higher up. Additionally, it is advisable to use a spirit level and spacers to ensure stability and proper alignment.

Especially the combination of spacers for the back panel and a spirit level prevents the cabinet from being crooked later on with PAX – saving a lot of time and trouble afterwards.
