Screwdrivers.... maybe make a deal with iFixIt to make a LTT/iFixIt combo pack and Linus gets something like 10-20$ out of every kit they sell

Having the ifixit kit in orange with both logos would be cool

I would be so down for that. It would definitely make more sense a collaboration than LTT and Madrina's coffee...

Picquic Tools is from Vancouver. Been using them at work for years. Very good quality, but I don't particularly like their Phillips bits.

Make that three then. Thought they where in QC for some reason.

My thoughts exactly.

I'd buy one of these in a heartbeat.

Matter of time. 

 

Would need to be an outstanding product though because I'd have to switch to using it and I love my Snap-On.. 

i mean... it's not that bad if you make a good snapon...

Well that settles it, no hope for a Linus branded screw driver unless Snap-On is willing to work with him.

Unless Linus would like to play with Harbor Freight...?

There's no way they could sell a product as good as Snap-on, with their branding on it, for more than the cost of a Snap-on screwdriver.

They aren't Intel.

Ive been using that same screw driver since roughly 2008-2009, damn thing is basically indestructible and was a fidget spinner before fidget spinners were a thing. Many hours wasted spinning it in my hand while bored

True, that's what I meant Linus rated! I trust you pick only the best of screwdrivers if you're going to sell it with your name on it!
Maybe work with them on this? I mean you've been promoting their screwdriver for ages now ;) .

PS. waiting on de swacked to make the store for my order, any ETA for when that will be?

Seeing as Linus' own screwdriver is so far backordered -- not to mention, $70 USD -- I don't think we'll be getting one any time soon. Also, aren't all SnapOn tools hand made in the US?
