This is why adblock and sponsorblock are essential. I haven't seen any of that crap in years.

I just find that screwdriver to be the most pretentiously bad product. Still a product that's half as good as something from Klein or wiha, or Milwaukee, or Greenlee, for three times the price. He put all that money into a designing a cheap but overpriced Chinese piece of junk, when there are already great screwdrivers used by professionals for years and years. Linus was so arrogant he didn't even think that somebody's already made a superior product with established tooling. But no, he has to reinvent the wheel and design a screwdriver nobody's asked for

I've used one, and it actually is pretty good. For comparison, I have a Megapro Automotive (211R1C36RD) screwdriver. I like the ratchet and shaft knurling of the LTT more, but the smaller bits are a bit annoying (though the smaller handle size because of them is nice). Overall, it's not a bad screwdriver, and even though it is too expensive for me, it's another good product option in case other brands' tools don't fit someone's needs.

To be clear, LTT is plenty problematic, but I don't think "making a screwdriver" is one of their problems.
