Timestamps copied from the bird farms:

5:00 Jay can't figure out how to get to the bit storage and when he finally gets it open he comments it is "very strong" and appears to struggle. Seems like a similar complaint to the one that pissed off Linus in the pop up shop

10:00 Jay uses the motorized screwdriver that he bought years ago from Amazon. It easily gets the PSU screw out and he mentions it was only $10 before quickly saying "I'm not comparing it to that!"

12:40 He's shoving the screwdriver down a confined space and I couldn't help but think "The Wiha would do this better" as the bulbous end seriously limits it in narrow spaces. He notices this issue and explicitly mentions it at ~12:55 but reframes it as being better than his stupid motorized screwdriver because that thing wouldn't fit at all.

14:15 He complains about his shitty motorized screwdriver "cross threading" (how do you do that when you're removing the screw?) and undoing the standoff. Literally setup his motorized screwdriver to fail by rushing and acting like an idiot.

15:00 Doesn't this guy build PCs for a living? Just fumbling around and can't even get the mobo lined up on the standoffs. What the frick

16:10 He finishes and it was 4x faster with the LTT screwdriver. Well no shit when you act like a gorilla with the motorized one and frick up your standoffs. He must've been amping it up for that infomercial black & white scene effect since there's no way this guy builds PCs everyday and it's that much of a struggle unless he's an absolute moron.

16:55 The drop test sheared off one of the plastic bit retention tabs

I honestly don't get the point of ratcheting screwdrivers. It's not like a socket wrench where you might only be able to turn it a few degrees. Surely a good quality normal one is much more useful. Especially if it has a butt that can turn freely so you can press down on it while turning

Motorized screwdrivers are another scam. Buy a decent cordless drill and stop being a weak b-word

So basically buy the $34 one so you spend half as much and get similar results

The LTT one is made by the company that makes the $34 one.

no it isn't. they licensed a patent for a part of the construction (the ratcheting part), and then they modified it (they improved it).
