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.

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.

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.

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 KZfaq, knowledgeable hobbyists on KZfaq, 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 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 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.

Hey Todd, we use masonry drill bits a lot but over the years we've had them go from one bit lasting months to needing 2-4 bits per job. We'd love to see if there's a brand that will be durable enough to last us a reasonable time. Thanks!

@jguth6 Жыл бұрын

hilti bits with the cross at the top. most masonry drill bits have 2 "hammers" at the top for drilling the hillti brand ones have four in a + shape they are amazing. last so so much longer than other brands. I used to use a new 8mm bit every time i built a fence onto a customers wall. I then bought hilti bits which ive used for at least 20 fences and they are still perfectly fine. so lasting at least twenty times longer

Working mostly with wood screws, I prefer Bosch bits for endurance at a reasonable price. If you decide to give them a try, remember that in most cases the smaller sets/boxes are cheaper per unit for this brand (I suspect they do so precisely because it's counter-intuitive). I for one don't see the point in paying more just for a fancy plastic container or a couple of extra tools that don't match the purpose of the main set.

I have to speed up most product reviews and skip like 30%(50% in some cases) of the video just to get the info I wanted know. This video, or rather this channel, on the other hand is so densely packed with ALL the info you want and need to know. You won't even skip 1 second of the video because you would miss something. And it all ends with just a list of the products and their capabilities and you're on your own. After all that's how it always goes no matter how many recommendations you get, the decision all comes down to you as to what you'll pick. Spending 20 minutes watching this is better than listening to a friend's recommendation for a minute or 5-10 minutes of researching the internet. I'm really glad I've come across this channel. Now most of the tools that I'll pick up will come from whatever this channel have already tested. Big thanks! All of this are really appreciated!

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.

Now I understand the price behind the LTT screwdriver. Definitely seems like it deserves it compared to the competition. Interesting to see how it's just kinda "Megapro but better" - which is a good thing. Edit: I'm not saying it's not expensive, I'm saying it justifies that price. Sure, the $35 Megapro will get you most of the way there, but you're missing the magnet (actually a major thing) or if you go for one of the others then you're missing quality stuff like the very low backdrag. I'll be using my iFixit kit, but I don't think this driver is a bad idea.

@VanSanProductions Жыл бұрын

Yep, they could have just got the Megapro but put LTT logo on it, but they wanted to improve on every aspect of it.. Since Megapro is already established their production costs are probably cheaper too so the price per screwdriver can come down. LTT has all new fabs that would have costs alot to get started, even with the help of an established brand.

The slop-when-locked issue worried me about the LTT screwdriver, but then I realized I use "locked" with my current no-name ratcheting driver only because the ratchet function is so bad... just ordered an LTT. Biggest thing for me is the magnet strength and bit quality, I've been breaking a LOT of bits, and dropping a lot of screws (usually into places they can't be recovered...) Hopefully the LTT solves those problems!

I personally do a lot of automotive interior work, and I also just ordered the LTT screwdriver after watching this video! Magnet strength is a huge deal for me, since I have lost bits in the center console of cars after they fell out, requiring me to go across the shop to find really long pliers to extract the bit from the top of the transmission tunnel! Huge deal if the bit doesn't fall out to begin with!!
