I always reach for the non-ratcheting screwdriver when working on electronics. I find the ratcheting mechanism on all drivers I've used to have too much resistance and just start screwing the screw back in rendering it useless and bulky. A bit drive with an end cap that rotates seems to work best for me. For automotive it's a different story, but then I'd use a ratchet wrench anyway, and fixed screwdrivers in the eng…
It's pretty impressive how they've sold 60,000 $70 screwdrivers in under 48 hours
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.
It's a Canadian thing.
If this is meant to be a general around-the-house screwdriver set, then the price point is way off. If this is meant to be more of a tech-focused set, missing Torx seems really dumb.

They’ve been making merch for years, just perhaps nothing of comparable mechanical complexity
tshirts / hoodies != custom designed mechanical item with many moving parts.
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 believe it is now I don't think they mention it in this video but have done so on the WAN show, the original manufacturer in 2020 however was Chinese, they had to change due to the fraud and lost $130000 in the process.
No it isnt. It's literally mentioned in the video. ( https://youtu.be/2K5Gqp1cEcM?t=1009 ) > we changed to a different factory in China potentially losing our $130000 deposit in the process.
EDIT: Also a bonus mention at 27:35

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.
This allows me to keep a good grip and the pressure on the screw all the time, ensuring the screwdriver head doesn't slip out of position.
I also find it faster to just twist the shaft of the screwdriver once the screw is loose, something which I find easier with a ratcheting screwdriver (many have a knurled section on the shaft for this).
And a good ratcheting screwdriver allows you to lock the mechanism, so you have the best of both worlds.
