      Ya, the conclusion here is that the LTT screwdriver is great… for PC repair.

      The bit holder broke at one of the lowest levels of any screwdrivers tested, which is problematic, and he just goes “nothing a bit of JB Weld couldn’t fix”. The screwdriver does genuinely look pretty good, but the narrative goes pretty easy on LTT.

      I don’t think it’s too nefarious or fear based though. It’s all about clicks. LTT is a super popular channel and PF wants to grab some of that audience. He also got a prerelease screwdriver from LTT, so that contributes to the bias. He paid for it, but exclusive access is worth a lot more than $60, so that does nothing to negate the conflict of interest.

          I tend to agree except its a screwdriver and if their metal is weaker than JB Weld, that’s a problem. Otherwise, the JB Weld fix will not hold up.

            After the JB weld fix it will be even less strong, or you can glue something like a wire mesh to it with jb weld.
