This is definitely the Kinetic Driver version of a mic drop if I've ever seen one!

[@PhilVandelay]

You know what they say, imitation is the biggest compliment! Even if this sucks I'd take it as a sign that you designed a great product, if people are starting to copy it before it even really exists

[@GiacoWhatever]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ovum]

Except that imitation is based in Shenzhen. Literally shameless copying

[@dr.itanimulli7400]

[@chrisclikks]

They're all over aliexpress by the way, might want to have your lawyer take a look at those listings too.

[@brianewhiteguy]

This is outstanding. The whole process of producing the Kinetic Driver has been utterly fascinating to watch. More people need to see the amount of work that goes into producing a quality tool!!

[@WorksbySolo]

There’s no good way of describing the horrible feeling of having your own product ripped off and exploited. Thank you for the update and explaining the steps you are going through. I find the process of product development fascinating.

[@GiacoWhatever]

We need to think it’s part of the whole picture... We shouldn’t let them bother us! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@bastardcommieguitarman]

As a portuguese I really love seeing people reference Portugal from time to time, glad you’re fond of our cork production!

[@GetHandsDirty]

Take your time! We want it the way you are comfortable giving it to us :) Cool that the boxes are made in PT out of cork and sorry it didn’t turn out perfect on the first try. And yes, everything in here and Europe is taking foreveeeer and there is always COVID to blame. We are in lock down and will be probably for the next two months straight...arghh. People should be distancing more and replying to Giaco’s team more! 😬

[@GiacoWhatever]

That cork company is awesome and I wanna visit it one day! Just after I cone to your place... :)

[@GetHandsDirty]

Of course!! 🤩

[@TheMrskateTV]

Here in Portugal rn we are all in lock down, most working from home or if thats not possible we try to keep working in the factories and stores, its a rough time, just be patient! Cheers from Portugal Giaco!

[@Heidegaff]

You might wonder why Giaco and his lawyer are so brutal with chinese copycats. If you do, you have no fucking idea of how difficult it is to start ANY project in Italy.

I work in cad design and manufacturing (very novice), and I really appreciate the extra steps in everything you're doing. Tooling molds are expensive, really says a lot how much you're putting into it for details. Can't wait to get my driver.

Giaco and your team, I love your philosophy. The standards your setting for your self and your company are truly commendable. Your products quality speaks for its self. I am looking forward to getting my hands on the perfect finished product. Keep up the great work.

[@nyinfamous2k2]

DUDE!!!! I just watched the video of your Kinetic Driver..... Now THAT, is an awesome video. WELL DONE

[@zathras227]

[@SkelaKing]

You know what they say, "Imitation is the greatest form of flattery" Congrats, you've made a product worth copying!

[@whazee]

Always loving Mario's edits man! 😄 Its such a great product, shame on them, but also kudos for getting it copied so quick, I guess? 🤔 You're definitely doing it right!

[@iDeviceChgr]

Love the dark chrome version 😍🔥🔥

[@capnthepeafarmer]

For broaching, you can look into CNC broaching, it's slower but very accurate. You could also get a broaching tool which is carbide so you can still do it while it is in the lathe, and have a lot longer interval before needing to replace it. Best of luck!

[@MikeOrkid]

What makes Giaco the best is his honesty and no-bullshit approach to everything but still with gratitude a hint of humor. Wish we could see more.

[@GiacoWhatever]

[@jqyvqno7801]

This is the best thing I watch on KZbin

[@sgsax]

Never compromise on quality. You are making a hand-crafted bespoke device. I would expect there to be many details to work out in pursuit of perfection. Accept no substitutes! (Especially crappy knock-offs. 😁) Thanks for the update!

[@BrandenAllen]

Beautiful tool. Well done.

[@FKreider]

Your attention to detail IS THE REASON I bought one! As others have said: I don't need this ;) Super excited to hold the final product once YOU decide it is ready to ship!

[@benjaminshaw80]

I want it as soon as you guys are ready to ship it! If it’s not ready, I’m good. Keep up the good work!

[@Jennralize]

I haven't been able to use any other craft knife since I got my maker knife and despite it being in my pocket, loose in my tools and just generally sat around wherever I've been using it, it's still in perfect condition and I've only had to tweak the locking mechanism on a couple of occasions! I will definitely be buying a Kinetic driver when I can afford to, as my small projects are crying out for such a tool - currently using a Draper Expert set and while it's nice, it's just not as tactile as I'd like. Thanks for all of your efforts to make fantastic, precise tools. They're wonderful! :-)

[@GiacoWhatever]

🥰

[@alibronx2112]

Complimenti Giaco!!

[@MaltandMake]

I'd love to see (maybe make) a commercial for the copy... keeping the production quality on the same level!

[@GiacoWhatever]

Hahahahahah

[@Chifladosandcrazzy]

hey giaco, maybe and advice for machining, make the press stuff first on raw material, then make the machining step, sometimes we need a perspective from outside, cheers, I definitely want to buy one, looking forward to it

[@brightonseeley7163]

This is the correct way to respond to copycats. Acknowledge they exist and prove why yours is superior. Very well done!

[@Demonpixyb]

Cool, maybe you should have included one of these screwdrivers with your maker knife you sold a while ago because the screws like to back out and they are special tiny torx ones.

[@JohnMadeit]

Wow so many sites was selling fake ones. Good job on getting most of them taken down.

[@Atlantismonkey40]

Perfection is time consuming, yet well worth it.

[@adamross4774]

Bro I want aleast 2.. so take your time! Good luck on the Fight!

[@brandongregg4287]

I was just wondering when the maker knife would be back in stock?

[@riggerjeff]

The counterfeit driver came up during a recent Amazon search and brought to the attention to one of my Discord groups. You know you’re onto something good when the pirates race to beat you to market. Regarding the Real McCoy, and echoing the *Don’t need it* ethos - because it’s true and my Wiha works very well indeed - while I do want it, very much, as I replied to the Kickstarter update, “I’d rather have it *right* than have it *right now*” Keep up the great work and thanks for the Transparancy and update. Stay healthy!

[@_billyk_]

Giaco, I'd look into EDM machines - You can make any shape of electrode you like for extremely accurate 'cuts', even in hardened steels. The electrodes would be either carbon or tungsten and you could load multiple parts in at once and have a 'branch' of electrodes. At my old employer, we used to cut weight reduction pockets in the compressor turbine blades of industrial gas turbines and they would just keep on chugging through thousands of parts at a time with minimal maintenance and zero headaches Keep up the good work as always!

[@BradleyMakesThings]

I can appreciate the attention to detail! Also, I’ve had similar experiences dealing with Italian companies in particular. Gets harder when we need parts for our Italian machines or support for them here in the US. Language barrier + engineering conversations + big time difference = painful. I don’t think it’s really a size-of-company thing - I think it’s just a more old-school way of doing business at some Italian companies maybe? Like an Italian Boomer mentality of not stressing about service or speedy replies? Takes us a minimum of 3 to 4 weeks just to get parts orders placed, then another two to three weeks for them to actually ship them (even when they’re in stock). It’s crazy. Who knows. The VP of our company is Italian but raised in France and he has some funny things (not super appropriate) to say about it haha.

[@taylorhickman84]

I ran an Italian CNC machine for years and hated it due to the reasons you listed. Eventually upgraded to an Onsrud CNC made in the US and life was grand.

[@colemanbecker1392]

[@RyanKung]

Wow that's infuriating!! I just moved into my new warehouse to start building products too. Can't wait to see the knock offs ;) Thanks for inspiring the next generation of makers, Giaco!

[@shlokkaushik765]

I like how you made me want to buy it with just this video.

[@fernandobagre]

Giaco, would it make sense to punch the hex hole for the bits, then mount the screwdriver back in the lathe using some sort of hex bit to keep it centered? I feel like that could solve the centering issue!

[@bluntdocto2571]

How can I order that black mat on the counter?

[@s1n20y5]

Will the .stl for the holder be available somewhere?

[@TheOxanian]

Damn it Giaco, I tried to not buy this item because... I don't need it. It's too shiny, can't let it pass.

[@NickyDoyle]

You should use an ANCA cnc and make the flywheel out of carbide. Or make the broaches from carbide with it.

[@Brownstone31]

Like we said during the maker knife production, you do what you feel is right. We haven’t had the kinetic driver in our lives before this so waiting a bit longer isn’t going to kill us. ❤️

[@miguelcontreras5782]

how about electric discharge machining for the holes for the bits?

[@RSpudieD]

Well, you know you're doing something right if they're trying to copy it! So sorry that happened to you! I just found your channel (thanks, recommendations page!) and I think this is a cool product idea!

[@cuscoothriyas5163]

Have absolute faith in it. Not many things these days being made that I feel are potential heirlooms, this though. Definitely heirloom material!

Ho comprato ormai un anno fa il maker knife e sono rimasto sbalordito dalla precisione e l'attenzione ad ogni dettaglio.

Quindi davvero, complimenti per i prodotti che sviluppate ed in futuro doveste partorire qualcos'altro che mi potrà servire lo comprerò ad occhi chiusi.
