Linus has a Snap-On ratcheting screwdriver.

The orange one that Linus uses is a ratcheting screwdriver from Snap-On. They're excellent, but $70 for a screwdriver is ridiculous IMO. 

 

The Black and Blue ones are from iFixIt. They sell just the screwdriver with the bits, or you can buy a whole electronics repair toolkit.

I'm unsure if you're talking about the IFixIt toolkit or not.

They're shown using it quite often - from scrapyard wars to general deconstruction vids.

If you're wanting something for your computer, a Phillips Head #2 and #0 will cover almost all of your needs.

 

If you're looking for that fancy one Linus uses, keep in mind he uses that for more than tinkering with computers.

I'd note that while the iFixit toolkit is designed for working on computers, it has actually proven very useful for many other things for me. I've used it on glasses, watches, phones, various electrical appliances, air rifles, my car and various other places. I'm actually surprised at how much use I've got out of it that wasn't on computers.

I thought that was their shindig all along

There's also the Williams one that they often use, which is made in the same factory as the Snap-On and uses many of the same parts, but is cheaper.
