LTT screwdriver rewiev
strawberry:
now we know who they copy or example
Black Phoenix:
Copy or licenced design? That's the question.
To be sincere I was expecting for it to fail but it surprised me. Although I still would not recommend to anyone.
tooki:
Copy? License? 🤣 LTT isn’t a manufacturer. The similarity with the one other tool is practically guaranteed to be because they’re made by the same tool OEM. In this case, clearly with some customization.
And why not recommend it? It’s clearly been optimized for PC servicing, with the very, very low back drag. (I have the PB Swiss, and it’s useless for small machine screws in computers because the back drag is too strong. Just moves the screw back and forth.)
Psi:
There's no need for speculation.
It says right on the LTT website

And they have said that they worked with megapro for the ratchet mechanism .

I disagree, they are a manufacturer.
Only the ratchet was loosely based on megapro's design, they had the rest of it manufactured themselves.
They had steel tooling made and shipped to china for injection molding, went over to the factory to setup the lines. etc.
There's a bunch of videos about it.

The details are in the video. The Taiwanese ratchet manufacturer for Megapro ignored LTT after being acquired. They has to start fresh with a Chinese manufacturer. The factory footage of plastic injection moulding and final assembly is in British Columbia, as well as the EDM work for the plastic injection moulds.
