- You asked for it and here it is. As I said I'm not a fan of ratcheting screwdrivers but as far as this one goes it seems well made.
Please forgive the heavy breathing. My head is all clogged up and I'm at max level mouth breather.

Hey thanks for checking it out! Always appreciate getting new perspectives on our efforts and I think you will be very excited to see some of the stuff we have in the pipeline :D - LS
I have a terrible history with ratcheting drivers. As soon as I use them with bear-force on a stubborn screw they break internally.
Issues I was not expecting Funk to focus on: 1. lack of continuity between shade of orange used on the packaging VS shade of orange used on the driver
I have an LTT Screwdriver and use it for most projects. Best screwdriver I have. The idea for the empty slot is for putting the bit into it so you don't have a bit in the driver when traveling.
FunkFPV Tech Tip: unplug it and plug it back in, there you go 👍
I’m with you on ratcheting screwdrivers - always feel less solid compared to a normal screwdriver and you have to keep remembering which way it’s going to ratchet
One of the weirdest criticisms of the LTT driver was the bits. People kept saying they were proprietary, but they're not at all. They're just half sized bits used by a whole lot of other drivers (their tip designs are different, but the shaft size is the same). Very specifically, those trying to have a slim profile. Been using them for years in small right angle drivers
it's just a megapro... if you like the aesthetics of the youtube edition mega pro, by all means. LTT started with making a driver for computers, but ended up designing, and marketing it, as simply a competitive screw driver, which the megapro is. Unlike GamersNexus teardown kit, which is more like a parktools level of competitiveness...the kit is designed specifically to work on computers, the way parktools is specifically made to cover your bike needs. is it the best 5.0mm hex driver you could buy? no not at all... but its been flattened for capacitor clearance and comes in a set with the other heads you would need to do work on 99% of computers, thats what LTT fans wanted and then some polish, did LTT get the reviews they want from taking the simple competitive ratchet route, clearly even a year later the bait be catching fish. You can buy both a megapro and their precision offering for the price of the youtube edition mega pro... and yes, anyone on youtube reviewing the youtube edition mega pro is bias, just like jerry's knife, which is also nice, but it's just a youtube edition knife.
I got the LTT Ratchet screwdriver when it first came out. I work on larger vessels as a junior engineer. It is a jack of all trades, kind of career so I use that driver for all sorts of applications and I personally love it. I have never been much of a "show off" kind of guy with tools but it is pretty interesting to see this tool get noticed whenever I hand it to someone new and they try it. I can only describe it like that friday scene when someone smokes the blunt and then stares at it. Lol
The real selling point to me for the klein over the ltt was the price, ltt is $75 which is absolutely ridiculous for a screwdriver, im an electrician and a screwdriver is my most used tool, a regular klein 4-way is my go to, ratcheting screwdrivers are kinda useless
One detail a lot of folks miss is the little divider between the bits in the handle... the black separator can be spun out of the way to load longer bits or used to help align the included bits.
FYI: Regarding ratcheting screw drivers... there are 3 positions to the direction ring. If you turn it to the center position (between left and right) it locks the ratchet and turns it into a "regular" screwdriver if you don't want to use it as a "ratcheting" screwdriver.
That combo "electrician" bit it to fit screws that are made to fit slot, Phillips, and square Robinson drivers. So it is a combination of all three drivers together. This is how weird standards happen.
This was not the crossover I was expecting, but I am pleasantly surprised.
Please keep making your videos out of all my channels yours is one of my favorites! I’m glad to see you expanding you can definitely be a full time you tuber

This is so cool seeing Klein tools!! My mother's maiden name is Klein, her side is all distantly related to the Klein tool founding family. My grandfather even was the manager of the Illinois plant until it moved to Texas a while ago. These are the tools we always had in the house growing up, still got a few myself!!
Thanks for the review. Good thing you covered that Windows Vista Home product key. Wouldn't want anyone using that 😆. I still have an old Dell OptiPlex 160L that has a Windows XP Pro product key label. As an IT guy. I rarely use a ratcheting screwdriver. It's a matter of preference. Some will prefer LTT. Some will prefer Klein. They both look like good, quality screwdrivers.
Dude! This is the exact type of review I wanted from the exact right person
What a lot people don't realize is that anything rubber will eventually turn back in to dino juice. It will will not last. Also, too many times, Klein 11 in 1s included, the rubber begins to slide up or down. Awesome review.
