Screwdriver feedback

[Ravendarat]

Just throwing this up here to see if anyone has similar thoughts in regards to the screwdriver. So I have had mine for about a week now at work and have been using it a lot on purpose to put it through its paces. Over all its an excellent tool and functionally better than my two snap on ones by a pretty wide margin but I have a couple points of feed back.

 

- This sucker is slippery. The handle is too smooth in my opinion, especially if you get any kind of grease on your hand. I work in automotive so clean hands aren't a thing and I fine this to get slick real quick. Im not saying you have to go soft handle, but maybe in the future imprinting either a cross-hatch pattern or little ltt logos into the plastic or whatever just to give it a texture and something to actually grip. Also we saw similar feedback in the pop up shop video when they were trying to do the torque test so I know I am not alone

 

- The shank is a little short IMO, its not bad, it just would have been a bit better imo if it was an inch to an inch an a half longer. Ive already found a couple locations where I had to bust out a different tool cause this one simply would not reach.

 

- I find the handle to be a bit on the small side, HOWEVER im 6'2 and 280 lbs and have decently big hands so it might just be a problem with being in an outlier bracket when it comes to size. Maybe more average size people dont have this same problem. The girth is fine, I just would have preferred the length of the handle to be a bit more, but this might be a nitpick

 

With all this said I am still very happy with this product and as long as it stands up the test of time than its absolutely worth the price tag for me

Seconding that "too slippery" feedback on the handle. Just got my driver yesterday and that's the only negative comment I have so far. 

I remember the videos talking about how the overmold options break down or get sticky - and it's great to avoid that, but I may have to add hockey tape or racquet handle tape so I don't drop this thing all the time.

Wait! That's it... Linus wanted to make everyone drop things as much as he does!

I haven't had any issues with it being too slippery. I've adjusted my grip from the end of the handle to the knurling on the shaft, upside down under a dash without issues or having to two hand it. Its actually one of my favorite things about it. Its not too grippy where it gets caught in my hand/glove and throws my aim off when adjusting my grip, or drops the screw.

 

The shank is a bit short, and have had a few instances where I had to get another driver.

 

One of these days I will actually write my review.... been crazy busy at work + WoW has been consuming too much of my free time.
