Imagine because they’re first time product designers.
I wish more companies made videos like this.

it even has pictures!!!
Not an apples-to-apples comparison, but I just wanted to see the price positioning for this screwdriver. It goes for $69.99 [0] and Megapro ratcheting screwdrivers (which they mentioned in their video) goes from ~$50 to $59.99, depending on what bits it comes with.

I was able to find the same screwdrivers for almost 50% less at the local Altex (Texas electronics store). Looks like this ratcheting one is 42.95: https://altex.com/collections/screwdrivers/products/megapro-...
As someone who spends a good portion of his workday using screwdrivers on industrial equipment and computers, I still don't understand why you'd want a ratcheting one.
It doesn't ratchet. It's basically just a bearing so you can push down on the top and the rest of the screwdriver can move freely—hard to explain I suppose.
I still don't get why they, as a tech channel with a tech audience, chose the default bit set to include Robertson instead of Torx. It'll be no surprise this driver will be used mainly in an electronics context, where torx is commonplace and robertson hardly seen, even more so outside of north America.
For automotive it's a different story, but then I'd use a ratchet wrench anyway, and fixed screwdrivers in the engine bay as the bits like to fall off in the worst places.
The vast majority of the 2 year delay seems to be fraud by their Chinese manufacturer. They were given exact specifications but they didn't build the parts to it to avoid competition with their own production. They had a bunch of design iterations issues along the way but the bulk of it was fraud.
> Chinese manufacturer Isn't it Taiwanese?

I'm an engineer, and a huge nerd though, and I've always hated ratcheting screwdrivers with a passion for the poor quality.
I can't wait to try out one of these, if for nothing more than to pay for the LTT entertainment/content I enjoy.
