No judgement, we all have our dark history.

Not a bad price:

It's a WERA though, very strong brand and excellent quality.

Grew up knowing them as Yankee drivers, still have two my father used to own.

I don't even know what brand mine are, the markings have worn off. They have wooden handles (inherited from my grandfather).

Around R350

What's the quality on this one like? I've been eyeing one for a while, but two things I haven't been able to ascertain:

How strong is the magnet? (i.e. if I put a computer screw on the end, will it stay there by the time I've reached the hole, or will it fall down somewhere into the chassis and create a short and break everything)

How much play is there in the blade? (this is more a perception of quality thing than anything else)

And still no screwdriver can close his mouth.

That's why you need the mechanic's toolkit for Linus. Duct tape and Q20. Duct tape over his mouth, and Q20 on the stairs.

Hope Jerry rig Everything or even maybe Gamer Nexus tests this out. I'll bet if they fit a socket bit on it and try remove a tight socket, this 1.2k thingy breaks.

It's not the size that matters, but what you get to screw.

That's what he said?

You need a phillips screw.

Seems a lot of people in this thread missed the target market for this screwdriver:

Computer techs/enthusiasts and the like.. this is not aimed at the DIY blokes and the like.. it's meant for building/unbuilding PCs and other tech items etc..

Yes, it's expensive.. they went a very long way to address a lot of issues with other similar ratchet screwdrivers and put a ton of R&D into it and do need to recoup that money in some way..

Time will tell if the price is justified and unbiased reviews from other people..

Also... Project Farm requested publicly for LTT to send him one, if not he will probably buy it, that will be interesting. This was one of his community requests he happily pursued because he doesn't do promotions.

Do you have a link to his request?
Seems unlike him to get a product sent for free considering his whole shtick is to buy everything himself.

 

[Speedster]

If I'm reading that website correctly, they're on wave 5 of sales at the moment meaning they've already sold more than 60 000 of these things. At $70 a pop they'll be breaking even pretty soon. Not sure what the total project cost was but it can't be far more than the $4m they've already sold.

When the launch was live streamed, a screwdriver was already being shipped to projectfarm..

He purchased it, good!

I couldn't get his original request as he made it on another LTT video which was immensely up voted, but I like how this Redditor calls him a smallish channel,

https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/wt70o2

He has over 2.5M subscribers, lol, without channel shilling.
