Is Linus Tech Tips Screwdriver Best? LTT vs Wera, Snap On, PB Swiss, Milwaukee, MegaPro, GearWrench

My heart was pounding the entire time I was watching, but I'm so glad we submitted to be included in this round-up. Seeing the results from an independent source hits so different and I'm incredibly proud of our team. Also, massive props to Todd for changing the game when it comes to objective tool reviews. I'm sure this won't be our last crossover episode ;) - LS

Project Farm taught me a thing: The cheapest things aren't worth the trouble, and the most expensive aren't worth the money. The mid-tier you find good tools that don't rip your wallet.

Never have I thought I would be into late night watching screwdriver reviews. That was very entertaining and useful.

wow, I didn't expect the LTT screwdriver to be that impressive and I also didn't expect such intricate testing procedures, great job on both parts

Sometimes I think, "man, this guy must have the most epic tool collection." Then I remember that almost everything is busted.

PB Swiss feels like the screwdriver you use in industrial applications. Where losing a single bit during maintenance can be disastrous, so you need that magnetic pull!

love that I dont have to turn on 2x playback speed unlike most tool review videos ...thats some dense efficient content!!

As a mechanic, there aren't many things (other than engineer's decisions) more annoying and frustrating than ratcheted tools having so much rotational slop that you can't unscrew anything in a tight area. And the PB Swiss's magnet is almost strong enough to lift a small single choke carburetor, that's impressive

i cant express the immeasurable value this channel alone CONTRIBUTES TO THE EFFICIENCY OF MY TIME, THE PRESERVATION OF MY MONEY, AND THE CONFIDENCE THAT I"VE GOT THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB.

No way, can’t believe you testing LTT screwdriver this fast, love your content!!

Honestly, whenever I go to buy smaller tools or other shop equipment, I tend to check this channel first for a review on the best brand to get. The objective and thorough testing are second to none on this platform

I’ve used the Wera daily in an aerospace environment for a few years without issue. After a few days of use the back-drag on mine was very acceptable, though most hardware in aerospace uses a locking feature so it’s not a huge deal. It feels very solid and high quality. If I broke it tomorrow I’d buy another, although I don’t see that happening. Love the channel!

Props to Project Farm for making a 20 minute screwdriver comparison video that is entertaining to watch 😂

The crossover we didn't think we needed, but glad it happened

I don’t usually comment on videos but I’ve been watching your reviews for a few years (along with Linus) and my dad works for a fiber internet company working on servers and such and I saw this review and had to buy him the LTT screwdriver! I’m rewatching the video again with my dad as he was skeptical about giving up his Milwaukee and he’s excited now! Keep up the good work sir!

Most tool companies are trying to sell you an entire line of tools. LTT went super hard into 1 tool and it really shows. So cool to see brand vs obsession.

One recurring thing I’ve noticed in these hand tool reviews, the Wera tools are built like tanks. Seems every test they’re one of the most durable. In this day and age, I’ve got to give the company credit for delivering a solid product that will last.

I liked this review a lot, especially in the set of use-oriented tests and including the bits. Even the best driver can be a fail if the bits are crap. There are a couple of problems I saw. One is that in some of the shaft deflection tests, it looks like the handle deflects in the vise because the vice doesn't grip it well. The other is the geometry of the test with the dial gauge. One of the shafts points slightly down from horizontal, which I think affects the accuracy of the measurement. Overall, best review I've seen so far. I would like to have seen the precision of the bits, especially phillips, in engaging the head of the screws. This is affected by the precision of the screw head, but still would be insteresting to see how it affects camming out and wear of the tip. My guess is that the bits that fractured will work better, but they might tend to strip out the heads more. Overall, great review. I also liked the review of bed liners. I used that one to decide which liner to buy.

It's always fun to see the testing rigs that are simple but make for consistent results
