Bros get ready, the LTT screwdriver is coming. You've all probably seen the prototype but this is the master thread on everything about it.
Linus has been trying to keep this a secret, but thankfully he's bad that. Several hours of 5head investigation has revealed everything.
As you may know, Linus' legendary orange screwdriver (Snap-On Ratcheting) that he used for 10+ years broke in April. He said in the $800 budget build,
Linus said in a LTT forum reply over a year ago in August that it's only a "Matter of time" till a LTT screwdriver comes out. So here's the proof that it's happening now:
In the $500 AMD build stream in June, he used a prototype. When the screwdriver fell apart in his hand, he mumbled
In the tiny AMD build stream in July he commented
So chances are, we're getting a LTT screwdriver.
They are gonna hype it up a lot. Linus even said he is spending over a hundred thousand dollars for the ultimate release. Comments from the July 10th Wan Show:
Upon some 5head investigation though, I found that LTT may be doing a partnership with MegaPro
If you looking closely at the prototype that Linus used multiple times, it's a MegaPro Automotive Ratcheting Screwdriver, except with their own custom enclosure. The prototype Linus used seems to have a 3D printed handle, but the ratchet, bit storage, and shaft are exactly the same.
A partnership with MegaPro? Hopefully, because the screwdriver itself is really high quality model and a best seller.
Pricing: Very high end ratcheting screwdrivers sell at between $40 and $70. The Snap-On that Linus used to use sells for $71.
The MegaPro Automotive, that LTT may rebrand, sells for $40. So with Linus' team getting a cut, I speculate that they will sell it for like $50-$70.
If anyone on the LTT staff reads this, please make sure the LTT handle is as high quality and durable as the original MegaPro handle.
And please make it very recognizable, like all bright orange to make the higher cost worth it.
I bet they're gonna come in the popular colors Black & Orange, Navi Green, Black & Gold, Black & White, Stealth and Pink. But wait it's a Screwdriver, so it won't fit into the ltt stealth Hoodie. Huh, working on a new Hoodie and Swacket with special Screwdriver pocket confirmed.

No but seriously I want one in Pink to perfectly go together with my Pink 40 oz Water Bottle.
Jay also confirmed via this Tweet that he matched Gamers Nexus donation to Cat Angels, so that Cat rescue Organisation is getting 7000 USD in total:

Edit: Oh I forgot to mention. Gamers Nexus also auctioned of the NZXT BLD PC for 2400 USD now so Cat Angels is also getting that:
