I think we all know Jackson Lake had the best sonic

[@samuelbarber6177]

I kind of like the simplicity of the Second Doctor’s sonic screwdriver. It’s literally just a pen light but for whatever reason, I kind of dig it. I think some of the later ones honestly feel as if they’re trying too hard. I also like that it’s actually used to unscrew things as opposed to just exposition.

[@Venemofthe888]

I like to think rivers sonic is a repurposed 9 and 10 after it got destroyed in the 11th hour that the doctor worked on over time knowing when he finished it he'd have to say goodbye to river

[@WiloPolis03]

I really liked 14's screwdriver, wish the Doctor kept it for longer, though I get that the writers probably just thought it was too OP to have all the time.

[@boourns7541]

The simplicity of the War Doctor's 50th Anniversary sonic is the reason it is my favorite.

[@BrianDavidson-q1j]

You might have to include Romana's sonic screwdriver which was a more streamlined version of the 4th Doctor's.

[@tokublwhovian]

My #1 is the Eleventh Doctor’s. It may be due to nostalgia but I’ve always preferred that design over others.

[@Elwaves2925]

Fourth Doctor's sonic for me and for the same reasons as you - nostalgia and design.

[@AxelWedstar411]

I'd prbly like 14th's more if I didn't pay an extortionate £30 for the basic version.

[@samuelbarber6177]

Also, darn this video’s thorough.

[@Mitzi_DelverVRC]

My favorite thing about Capaldi's sonic is that it pulls apart in the middle and functions as a whiteboard marker. It's silly.

[@AttakusZakus]

I remember I drew up a neat concept where the top clamps on the sonic unlock, extending the emitter portion for a red setting, and the extended support is colored like the 3rd Doctor’s “caution tape” yellow and black on his sonic.

[@Brunoxsa]

Thank you for the video, Vera! As a Doctor Who fan since the revival era who loves the concept of the sonic screwdriver and also understands how it is a "staple" of the series, here is my personal hot take about it: I am not a fan of the tubular shaped design. It makes the sonic screwdriver to resemble a oversized penlight. I do feel some appeal for the screwdrivers with the pointing/disk "heads" from the classic era resembling otoscopes which are very fitting for a character called the Doctor. However, Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver is my favorite one exactly because it is so different and it now resembles an alien pocket computer device! River Song's sonic screwdriver design is underrated, especially the finger grip ring. If the Doctor invest more on finger grips or wrist straps for their sonic screwdriver, they would definitely avoid dropping down and losing it so often! LOL 23:35-24:14 Custom-made original sonic screwdrivers?! It is pretty cool!

[@travishiltz4750]

I feel like there was some stretching, but since I only count the sonics that got a toy/replica, I won't grumble too much, Started collecting Sonic's a while back, and inspired by the 12th, got myself a big mug to hold them in on my desk. My list (only counting ones I own): #3: the third: yeah, that yellow strip isn't great. #2: 11th: like the look. Big and bold and green, when most are blue. #1: 4th: Tom's my Doctor and it was the first one I bought.

[@MalisDelnaria]

I use the 12th Doctor's screwdriver for when I cosplay as The Frizz (Timelord Ms. Frizzle) or Idris. It is the one that looks the most like the TARDIS herself and so its why that design is probably my favorite of all of them. It is the one that looks the least like the 'traditional' sonic (barring the most recent) which is also a personal win in my books and why I use it for my two 'spinoff' cosplays.

I came here to make the same comment haha

Is he still making vids?

[@SeanerCullen]

Thankfully no ​@AxelWedstar411

​@AxelWedstar411 his KZbin channel is still on here but overall no activity since the power of the doctor episode aired

[@alibinprogress]

I am commenting to say that I have been listening to your book Dreams of Fire on Audible and I really like it! I’m almost done with it that’s how much I have been liking it!

[@chickenphat730]

I’m ngl my favorite is 12’s. It does look like a toy, but idk I still love it. Of course 11’s and 8’s 2nd one, and 4th doctors and stuff are all great as well.

[@aronclark3898]

This might be controversial, especially considering it's technically not a sonic screwdriver, but one of my favourite screwdriver designs from the whole show is The Masters Lasor Screwdriver, aside from that my favourite actual Sonic Screwdriver is Eleven's, I do disagree with you about the third Doctors sonic, but that's just different preferences, have a good day.

[@WiloPolis03]

Maybe a potential hot take, but I'm also really not a fan of how 13 made her own screwdriver from scratch. I always liked the idea that the screwdrivers were generated from the TARDIS; that's a lot more interesting of a concept to me. Something about 13's screwdriver and (to my knowledge) *only* 13's just being something she made out of spoons one day is just kinda lame to me, even though I do like its design

[@proserpina4448]

Here I have to disagree with you. In fact, I like that the 13 th Doctor build her sonic herself because it makes sense as the Tardis kicked her out after the Doctor regenerated one time too many inside the Tardis destroying her and she needs it for the affairs with the cable alien and Tim Shaw and tracking the Tardis. Aditionally making the sonic herself shows the Doctor's intelligence and problem solving skills.

[@apocrypha5363]

I suppose the writers could have "split the difference" by allowing her to make a cobbled-together screwdriver that just about worked but not well... And then the TARDIS fixed it when she managed to get to the TARDIS. It would explain why she ended up teleporting her and the fam into space. ❤

[@AttakusZakus]

@@apocrypha5363I’d actually like to see a “redesigned” version where it’s just a non-scrap TARDIS generated sonic of her cobbled spoon sonic. Wonder what that would look like.

[@WiloPolis03]

@@proserpina4448 That's fair. I just personally prefer the sonic screwdriver to be a tool the doctor received rather than one they made themselves & understand literally inside and out. But I do agree that her building her own screwdriver does fit her character nicely

[@FarazIFM]

The McCoy McGann screwdriver does have an extending bit similar to 11s it just doesn’t have it in the toy version

[@calliesanderford3410]

I have a spoon!

[@JCResDoc94]

16:30 thats the one

[@kevin10001]

Not a bad list but I would have the anniversary sonic and Ncuti’s a little lower on the it’s not because they are bad but because we don’t know how the doctor revived the Sonics as far a show cannon goes and the only explanation we have for what happened to Jodie’s sonic was in the expanded universe cannon and for me show cannon and expanded universe cannon are separate cases the can and has done there on exploration for something the expanded universe already covered and my perfect sonic would marry love for Batman and the doctor together where the casing would be the colors of Adam west’s Batsuit and the back would have the depiction of a cape pained on it and the would incorporate som actual sonic designs into it like the strip and the bottom of some classic era designs but on mine the strip would look like Adam’s utility belt and the activation button would be the bat inside the yellow oval that is in Adam’s bat symbol and the cowl would be done similar to the top it Chris and David’s sonic just in the shape of Adam west’s cowl in a blue crystal that matches the color of his cowl so the light could be visible more then through the eye holes on the cowl

[@roberts.2300]

I wanted to pick up the 11th doctor screwdriver from the Celestial Toystore. However I end up finding out the quality has gone away due to the lack of enthusiasm for the show. Plus the post about on extreme social evils of the world are ruining the show. Kind of killed it for me. So going to wait for the Rubbertoe Replica version to come back again. Already have the 12'th Doctor series 10 screwdriver and the master's laser screwdriver. Now just waiting for the 14th doctor sonic to at the end of this or early next year.
