  • Brands: LTT, PB Swiss, Snap On, Wera, GearWrench, Williams, Irwin, Megapro, Milwaukee, Klein Tools, Husky, Lenox, SATA and Black+Decker. Ratcheting screwdrivers compared for efficiency, precision, and durability. Tests include working arc swing, ratchet back drag, magnet strength, bit retention strength, build quality (shaft wobble), shaft rotation in the locked position, bit failure load and screwdriver failure load. I bought all of the screwdrivers tested and the products used for testing. So, thank you for supporting the channel.

      This has saved me so much time and money. In the past you would just buy some harborfreight and be ok and moderately happy. Then their tool quality took a dive a long time ago. But you could survive. The day a cheap set of screwdrivers failed on the first use. Demanded a project farm amazing reviewer to sort through the bologna. Because you can't just buy the average tool at lowes/homedepot. That leads to failure more often too.
      I love my cle-line drill bits, irwin dikes and channel lock needlenose. And knowing the right bits to buy now. Milwaukee ones are trash and he proved it, but I knew it when I bought some before PF review. They break and wear out fast.

      @@w8stral Exactly! It also means that in use the screwdriver is going to stick to other metal components making the screwdriver pretty much unusable. Funny how I've seen comments from people who bought the LTT saying they have already broken them. Meanwhile, comments from many Snap On owners (like myself) that have been using theirs for 20-30 years with zero problems. The fact that Linus says he initially wanted to use aluminum for the shaft should have told everyone that this guy has zero knowledge about how to make a tool. Meanwhile, Snap On has been making tools for over 100 years but I'm sure this guy has it all figured out.

    I’ve used the Wera daily in an aerospace environment for a few years without issue. After a few days of use the back-drag on mine was very acceptable, though most hardware in aerospace uses a locking feature so it’s not a huge deal. It feels very solid and high quality. If I broke it tomorrow I’d buy another, although I don’t see that happening. Love the channel!

  • @surferdudemi
    @surferdudemi ปีที่แล้ว +87

    I liked this review a lot, especially in the set of use-oriented tests and including the bits. Even the best driver can be a fail if the bits are crap. There are a couple of problems I saw. One is that in some of the shaft deflection tests, it looks like the handle deflects in the vise because the vice doesn't grip it well. The other is the geometry of the test with the dial gauge. One of the shafts points slightly down from horizontal, which I think affects the accuracy of the measurement. Overall, best review I've seen so far. I would like to have seen the precision of the bits, especially phillips, in engaging the head of the screws. This is affected by the precision of the screw head, but still would be insteresting to see how it affects camming out and wear of the tip. My guess is that the bits that fractured will work better, but they might tend to strip out the heads more. Overall, great review. I also liked the review of bed liners. I used that one to decide which liner to buy.

I won't buy any more after the last purchase, the impact driver broke in a month, yet my 15 yr old blue ryobi that I use every day and has been dropped many many times off ladders and what not is still working great. I'm not saying ryobi is great either, they went to all green junk. Also I use both of those impact drivers daily. I think most everything is becoming crap anyway and starting to look in pawn shops and flee markets for old tools, they were made better.

      That wouldn't be legal. Printers have regulations that require the manufacturers to include tracking software to trace every single printed page back to a printer.

Making the entire software of all microchips (not just the network interface and main control chip) open source would violate national security interests.

      While LTT is not a tool manufacturer, look at the cost difference between them and the common household brands. Their price would have to be cut in half at minimum to attract the general audience outside of TH-cam, knowledgeable hobbyists on TH-cam, or LTT's fans.
      I am not discrediting them one bit, but if those big name tool brands had twice as much MSRP to play with, they too would be on a very similar or better level in terms of performance. I'm glad LTT made a product that stands out from the rest, and hopefully they roll in the dough, but $70 for a screwdriver is steep for most people.

      I would definitely agree that most probably do not, however I will say that LTT from what I understand, has done loads of testing, just in the design phase, to make sure they're putting something out there that's the best quality they can make while pricing it to be affordable. Now, I'm not saying that the LTT Screwdriver is "affordable" in the short term, but, in the long term, compared to other brands, the price is relatively close to what you would pay for 2 or 3 (including replacement) screwdrivers from other brands, which, if the LTT one ends up being something that will last more than 10 or 15 years, without problems, makes it worth it compared to what you will find in most hardware stores, as the ratcheting mechanisms usually don't feel good, or they lock up with a lot of use...
      Another thing is, despite the warranty debate about LTT, on whether a paper warranty is as good as a verbal "if something is wrong hit up support and we'll fix it"(they did end up with actually adding a written warranty, although they're famous for their implied warranties) they always strive to have great customer support, even if it gets swamped considering how little staff they have in customer support, and you have to wait a while to get responses sometimes... Anything major that LTT does, they want it to be "the best it can be" or "the best ever" because being 2nd best isn't good enough for Linus Sebastian and his team, and if they can't innovate in an area, then they just don't bother trying... That's why the backpack and screwdriver cost so much, is all the research and development that HAD to be done to reach his level of quality...

Megapro is a good driver, and they're just down the street from the LTT headquarters, and the guys at megapro where the guys that Linus used for years for a driver, but all the same the reason it's so much more expensive is because of not just the building of it but the shipping of it to his Warehouse(s) and to all the other places it has to be shipped before then...

      The Megapro is an excellent value. The handle appears chunky and not very ergonomic.

      The low backdrag to me is SO important for working on electronics. It's annoying when ratchets cannot actually ratchet without manual intervention on small fasteners you find in computers. Also the bit retention and fastener magnetic strength are extremely important. Without both of these, something like just putting in an M.2 SSD becomes terrifying as if you drop the screen and it slides under a cooler mount, or under the motherboard, you now have to spend hours taking apart the entire computer, reapplying thermal paste, etc; all because that fastener got away.

      It is amazing that this review show LTT and PB swiss tool as top of the line, just with different optimization. Knowing what those tools are optimized for explains to me why some people love those tool and others think they don't work - it is just depending on use case and quality of the tool. A cheap screwdriver is still a screwdriver, but a cheap ratcheted screw driver is just cheap.

    Excellent video, as always. What I like very much on this video, and some others, is when you include the final chart or spreadsheet that shows all of the rankings for each category. This way, we can, like you did as an example, remove when we consider to be less important
    It would be nice if with all of your videos going forward, you could include a final results, like this; it makes all the testing come together, and decision making for the viewer so much easier. Thanks again for the work you put in to these videos.
