  1. Did Linus put on lipstick and eyeliner for the server room portion, or is he always wearing that and the lighting in that room just makes it super obvious?
  2. Definitely heard some ratcheting when he was screwing out the pci slot plate things and screwing in the GPU.
  3. No details on that yet, probably won’t be much info until closer to LTX 2023.
  4. TL;DW - "I probably wouldn't have bought it. Now that I've used it though, I feel like it's doing it's job and that it has me questioning whether or not I'm standing on some sort of principle that's flawed. Because lord knows I waste $70 on things like rocket pass. Where all that does is make me mad, and this just made me happy. So... maybe it's time to rethink the way I look at screwdrivers."
  5. I realized at the end that I had a huge grin on my face the whole time. What a fun, wholesome video.
  6. Doesn’t seem like the shape is obviously wrong to most people here, just you. So… maybe you’re just on a personal crusade to hate this screwdriver. That’s fine, everyone needs a hobby.
  7. I’ve only placed one order. A desk pad and a water bottle. Shipping was $14.99 to Ottawa, so I paid USD $84.72 after tax. Honestly I don’t feel the need to “justify” purchases like that to myself or anyone else. I make enough money that $100 doesn’t impact me at all. Unlike @Yoinkerman I buy drugs and alcohol though.
  8. Bit sets are available on lttstore.com https://www.lttstore.com/products/bits?variant=39857025122407 But you can also use whatever 1/4" bits you want.
  9. Yeah I don’t know how many times I can explain why I disagree with you, so I’ll just refer you to me previous comments.
  10. I figured it was something like that. Like I said, extremely nit-picky and it had zero impact on the video, which was great overall. I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on the tools, thanks! Also, the creator edition looks sweet. I love the white accents.
  11. Yeah, I understand why you brought up the cost of molds, and I explained why I don't care about that. I don't think anyone should care about how much money was spent on R&D, they should care about the actual performance and features of the tool. If one of the features you care about is internal bit storage, don't buy a tool without internal bit storage. About your claim that the handle "would've snapped during one of project farm's tests" or "broken during the bowling ball test jeff did"... No. That's actually an absurd claim. The only one that broke in Jeff's bowling ball test was the cheapest tool. All of the others survived. In Project Farm's destruction test the PB Swiss ratchet mechanism started spinning out inside the handle. That means the press fit of the ratchet into the handle failed. That's not going to change if it has a different part of the handle hollowed out for bit storage.
  12. I care about the ratcheting mechanism, bit/screw retention while working, and the price to consumer. I only care about how much money the manufacturer spent on molds to the extent that it increases the price to consumer. Bit storage is the least exciting and least interesting part of a ratcheting screw driver, imo. I can't find a version of the Wera without internal storage, but here's a video comparing the PB Swiss 8510r-100 and the 6510r-100. The guy just does a surface level comparison of how they look/feel, but looks like the exact same ratchet mechanism, and just different handle materials. I doubt there would have been any difference in Jeff Geerling's tests, or Project Farm's tests.
  13. Eh, I have to disagree. The only difference is that the PB Swiss doesn't have internal bit storage. Personally I don't think that's a big enough difference to put it in a different category.
  14. Super nit-picky but the bit change timer doesn't include putting away the old bit for the PB Swiss, but does for all the others. Overall good video. Covers some new topics that Project Farm didn't touch. Some subjective topics like comfort in the hand, how it feels when screwing in motherboard screws or screwing into wood. It is a bit weird to see the Gamers Nexus screwdriver set included, it's a totally different tool.
  15. I'm not going to get into the rest of your comment, but yes, OP should just use the insulated tools they already have, and people who need insulated tools should just buy tools designed for that purpose.
