Linus' screwdriver must be selling well if companies are starting to copy him.

I guess Noctua is shifting focus away from making great fans and are just going "brand name".

Did they get bought and gutted by a conglomerate, or are they just trying to be? I look forward to seeing their name slapped on a tacky brown pair of Nike's pokemon cards $500 Styrofoam shoes.

I appreciate Noctua representing the color blind community. Noctua is really sticking to that not quite poop brown, then clashing it with black even if it means losing 80% of their potential business.

God, I hate LTT with a passion.

Noctua...
I could just buy one of Gamers' Nexus' toolkits, get those screwdrivers and more, or just go to a bloody hardware store... either case will get me more for my money.

A $1 dollar product sold for 10 times more. That's what I call paying for a logo.

Moderately, about $7.6 million gross revenue for LTT screwdriver. Not sure what sales volume is needed for others to get into the market.

Careful or they'll introduce a line of $20 "gaming" screwdrivers.

Youtube statistics show channels like Gamernexus and LTT target 15-year-olds boys who like to game. Bright thumbnails with crazy faces, and easy to understand content.

They don't buy the screwdriver for the screwdriver, they buy it because they are fans of the people running those channels.

...

How are these fairly basic $10 drivers copying LTT's in literally any way at all..

Boy do I want to read you work through this logic for me, what in the actual hell.

Me too. He’s irritating to watch or listen to. Just a scummy salesman

I’ll stick to Stanley, Crafstman and Kobalt before buying a sonic screwdriver toy

If you want good quality screwdrivers, buy Wera Kraftform. https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Wera/page/C3B112B0-FBDF-43E6-891C-156F2995AC0A?ref_=ast_bln

Actually, if everyone is doing sleek looking black or white fans with RGB lighting. It can be beneficial to stand out. Their message being. You buy us for quality not looks. They could lose business if they look like everybody else. Sort of like how Thinkpads have a no nonsense trademark look.

I bought the Williams ratcheting screwdriver on Amazon instead of LTT screwdriver. It fits all of my 1/4-inch bits (Wera has those long bits) and the precision, easy ratcheting, and substantial bit holding make it a fine tool. I even like the hollow end where I can throw a few bits in without having to slot them into place. As for regular screwdrivers, I am partial to Klein as their tips last and hold well (if only they didn't roll, heh)

Finally, someone taking on Snap-On's rapevan pricing ladder (they can still only go as low as $23.60 for a 6" T20). I suppose one should just be grateful it doesn't come with bloody RGB lights. Remember when we had a naïve vision/version of the future, marked by innovation and race-to-the-bottom price wars? Well, now a strikingly-mid cooler Mfg is distruting branded hand-tools, in competition with apparently some dude makes a living off ad revenue runnin' his mouth at a camera all day. Hell's teeth, is there no end to the march of mediocirty?
