Re: Our screwdriver took three years [video]
#152As 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.
I've had a Snap-On SSDMR4B0 [1] for at least 25 years now. The usefulness of the ratchet is hard to describe, but easy to recognize after using one for the purpose of driving/removing screws. One big benefit, which only really reveals with longer screws, is the ability to drive or remove much more quickly than a non-ratchet type screwdriver. Also, the benefit is much more recognizable driving screws with significant…
I have the same one (different color) that I got as part of a larger purchase of secondhand SnapOn tools. I probably wouldn't have initially laid out $75 [or even $40] for it, but after getting it as part of a package deal, I find it a lot more useful than I thought.
It seems similar to the "why do precision screwdrivers have that spinny part on the back?"

#153Seems like the juicero for screwdrivers... over-engineered tool that without the "LTT" branding could probably sink in the stores. Personally i like my tools rugged, kinda like Klein does it because "on the job" i tend to thrown them away either on purpose or by accident, this tool looks fragile, if little margins stuck the ratchet mechanism i can not wait what is going to happen when it suddenly falls from the 2nd f…
Looks to me like a run-of-the-mill multipurpose screwdriver, with a perfectly ordinary development effort behind.
I don't think this would break if you drop it from a person's height, but it may break if you drop from the 2nd floor. Just like any similar one.
I guess the lesson here is that you don't want a multipurpose screwdriver if you will work on the top of a ladder. It will just bring you extra problems. (Although I do use mine a lot that way, usually because it's already around. It does bring extra problems.)

Project Farm makes amazing videos.
I do love his videos though I find them a little rapid fire and after awhile I loose track of what is what. His testing methodlogy is pretty thorough and practical but wish he could change the presentation format a little. That said it is such a firehose of details that I don't have any suggestions on how he would do that. I just find it overwhelming to keep track of each product through the test cycles. Maybe it jus…
Yes, if he showed summary spreadsheets at the end I wouldn't have to watch the video with a pen and notepad and my finger hovering over the pause button. I wish they would update his wiki again.

The half-height bits also make it very hard to curate the selection for your specific use cases without buying directly from LTT.

It is my understanding that Robertson drive is very common in Canada, where Linus is located.
I live in Canada and that's news to me I feel like most of the stuff I'd be using a screwdriver on came from the US, or Japan, or somewhere else. Especially electronics I don't know if I buy that, LTT has never targeted a Canadian audience. If anything they try to make you forget they're Canadian. They only ever say US prices for things, which makes sense since that audience is way bigger. So I don't know why they'd…
They regularly reference them being Canadian, and sometimes do state Canadian prices.

I guess I’m just one of those people that appreciate the no nonsense rapid fire format. I don’t have to watch his videos at 1.5x :^)
