No leds to see where you screwing (e.g inside a PC case) no extension to make it longer or ability to remove the stem to make it shorter to reach that screw from above(e.g on a noctua cooler in the 100 other other instances where you need it to be a little longer than the average screw driver) or short so that you can screw something in tight spaces or an flexible extension I rate this 6/10 the perfect clicky noise of the ratchet is like a low priority and you spent years and money for that instead for features that would actually make it more useful than the average screw driver...

I used to work in hardened steel tool and die; when linus says it's difficult to machine, picture this: we had ultrahard carbide tooling, as hard as sapphire, with coatings on it to make it shed heat, wear evenly and not pick up chips of metal, that were themselves made up of ultrahard metal composites. The tools were about 50-200 dollars CAD each. They had an expected lifetime of about 10-20 minutes each when cleaning up post-hardening steel. We had specially designed drillbit heads because our carbide supplier considered what we were doing was nuts and didn't support it in their stock lineup. They were good for, if we were extremely careful, about 2-10 holes each depending on the depth. This is steel that is so hard, that you could take the hardest, meanest file you could find, run it down a corner, and kill the file in about three strokes without leaving a mark. This stuff is *evil*, and in a completely different world to aluminum, and is still not the wildest thing we use in the tool and die world; there's a type of steel that is usually found on the bottom edge of grader and snowplow blades. We don't... actually have a way to do detailed machining on it without EDM. Not 'suboptimal', there's literally only a few drills in our arsenal that could touch it. It was used in giant square blocks when it WAS used, for extreme wear points. Superalloys are wild.

​@@torq1116 Not sure how they could charge more, I picked up one from a £1 store yesterday, same size, shape, stores bits in the head... added bonus it also tightens and loosens screws!!! You can buy a top of the range Bosch GO cordless electric for £60, a very good generic electric cordless for £20, a high quality set of multiple specialty drivers for an array of jobs from Stanley, Draper etc, who invest millions in R&D as well as endurance testing, for less than this one jack-of-all-trades non-precision item (whose handle is to big for working in PCs). Some folks have bypassed their logic & critical thinking centres to be a part of the LTT brand and I think it's an undeniable rip-off, and a rather dubious concept. I know they vastly over-spent on its production but that doesn't change the fact the price is completely unhinged in relation to the market. tbh I kind of lost a little respect when I saw how much Linus, a multi-millionaire, is asking regular working folks to shell out, it's madness, I think he's a little out of touch.

To be honest, I first started watching this thinking "why on Earth would I need to get a LTT designed screwdriver when I have a lot of screwdrivers that do what I need", and I did also think along the lines of what you said at the end about "not being tool makers". As the video progressed and I could see just how much of a perfectionist approach Linus took to the design of this which promptly changed my thought to "this is going to be a worthy purchase". The one that got me was your Ninja star to allow compatibility with standard sized bits. The fact you aren't just limiting your tool to your own bits says a lot in my opinion.

Your plastic materials can be thicker without the what you all called sag (it’s called sink) with a very experienced process technician at the wheel but I’m happy the route you all went. That gate hole you all obsessed over could have been solved with a hot runner mold instead of a cold runner molds that you all had bought but you would have been spending A LOT more money on mold design. Gotta say, loved this video the most out of any cause you all got a taste of my field of work and kinda explained a bit more than surface level things. Thank you all for your hard work! Oh, just to ad, they are using the wrong sized nozzle of that injection press… you can tell by the blob of molten plastic at the end of the sprue. (where your mold meets the barrel) inexperience could lead to mold damage over time. But that’s years In the future. And the “auto gate cutter lol” is a sub gate in our field. Other things as well but I’ll stop nit picking ;)

Seeing it's manufacturing process makes me understand why the screwdriver is priced like that. I'm not knowledgeable in this field, but I assume 40 second cycle time is SLOW, and I don't know how many injectors they have there, but if they are churning out 2 screw drivers every 2 minutes (from plastic piece, to assembly, I guess it's around 2 mins?) that's a pretty low volume yield, meaning costs are higher.

Bottle caps yes its slow (approx. 2-3 sec to 24-96 pieces), Car bumpers...maybe (depends on size but it´s around 60-100 sec a piece). But more on the technical side of that... it depends on the technological process, how long is the real cooling time, injection speed and holding preasure and so on. It is a lot to learn to "make the machine go" as you like it. So to conclude that, 40 seconds is kinda average. 😀

Bought one about 15 minutes after they dropped. Wound up at the beginning of wave 2 with solid black handle with black shaft. Total blackout coloration. Been meaning to replace my Stanley driver thats gotten me through 8 years of PC building that i got at walmart for 20 bucks. Watching LTT while I was younger got me to the point where i am now, where I have a salaried job, home, and living a comfortable life by pushing me to chase after IT as career. Funny thing, the screw driver will probably ship on the day I get married (the 31st of October). So this will be quite a comical wedding present for myself. Funny how things all workout....

14:47 "This ensures that you will always be able to find something to store in your screwdriver handle, even if you lose all of these and I die and we go out of business." Loved this bit. Thanks LTT for being future looking with your screwdriver, ensuring it will have use and support even if the worst happens. Great thoughtful idea in an era of planned obsolescence.

Plastic injection molder here. I loved hearing you mention the complexity and challenges in my field. Just the other day even I was involved in a function modification in a mold for a medical component. I am pleased to say my idea for how we decided to change it actually worked, and was inexpensive. My point here is that if it didn't work, the cost would have been extremely high. And that's just for a modification, let alone building the whole tool. Plastic injection molded parts are seen as "cheap" only due to volume of production. The mold for something as simple as a soda bottle cap can cost a million dollars or more, if it's large and complex enough.

The selector ring being modified to TURN IT THE DIRECTION YOU WANT TO GO is a game changer to me. I have a Megapro and Craftsman and the LTT is still notably better for small tasks like 3-D printer maintenance. The handle ergonomics are great, build quality is up there with the best and it has the strength to do a much most people's grip will allow. Overall, Great Job LTT!!

When are product keynotes gonna be like this. I would love if apple, amd, or really any company would show us the design process. I feel if it takes 3 years for a screw driver to be perfected then the amount of time it takes for some very big products to be released it seems like they wouldn't have the time to perfect every aspect of the design like your team did. Granted they might have more people but still this opens my eyes to the behind the scenes of the mass production and manufacturing process Great Work!
