You know, this is some shit that I expect when dealing with some shady asshole on ebay, but LMG?

Bro... Are you ok?

I always wondered if Linus was actually a slimy POS, but this Billet Labs situation has cemented it for me. If you haven't watched the Gamers Nexus followup video, definitely watch it.

Because he's a fucking cunt. Always has been. No screwdriver on the face of the earth is worth $70 and no backpack is worth $250, but if it was it should have a goddamn warranty.

There's a video of them reviewing email clients of all things and they shit on outlook for companies... Anyone who's ever used outlook vs Gmail in a corporate environment knows that outlook destroys the competition because rules > tags.

Nothing they do is rooted in reality.

Hoodies should not be $100 unless they also come with a hooker who gives great head.

Fuck LTT.

To be fair, I agree with you, however I do have the screwdriver. I am a glazer and my screwdrivers get tortured to death. This screwdriver is honestly the best one I have ever owned. They did an excellent job and it absolutely is worth 70 bucks. I think they deserve some props for this, it's very clear that they put a lot of work into it.

I do have to wonder though, they wanted to have 12 bits in the holder, but the holding area wasn't large enough. Normal screwdriver bits are 40mm, The shorties that they use are 20mm... They designed the fucking handle... Just make it 40mm longer and then you can use regular size bits. I don't understand why apparently literally no one thought of this.

Regardless, it is an absolutely fantastic product and it deserves phrase.

That said, fuck LTT.

Wont the longer bits fit but just stick a bit further out in the socket?

I believe they don't fit in the built in tip holder.

They do fit, but you can only put half as many normal sized bits in there. I'm fine with that personally, making the whole thing bigger would negatively affect ergonomics.
