I used to work in hardened steel tool and die; when linus says it's difficult to machine, picture this: we had ultrahard carbide tooling, as hard as sapphire, with coatings on it to make it shed heat, wear evenly and not pick up chips of metal, that were themselves made up of ultrahard metal composites. The tools were about 50-200 dollars CAD each. They had an expected lifetime of about 10-20 minutes each when cleaning up post-hardening steel. We had specially designed drillbit heads because our carbide supplier considered what we were doing was nuts and didn't support it in their stock lineup. They were good for, if we were extremely careful, about 2-10 holes each depending on the depth. This is steel that is so hard, that you could take the hardest, meanest file you could find, run it down a corner, and kill the file in about three strokes without leaving a mark. This stuff is *evil*, and in a completely different world to aluminum, and is still not the wildest thing we use in the tool and die world; there's a type of steel that is usually found on the bottom edge of grader and snowplow blades. We don't... actually have a way to do detailed machining on it without EDM. Not 'suboptimal', there's literally only a few drills in our arsenal that could touch it. It was used in giant square blocks when it WAS used, for extreme wear points. Superalloys are wild.

It's true for basically any job that is line work, be it warehousing or factory. Especially if there was a rate that had to be met and the higher ups were also expected to reach that rate during their time on the line, and get penalized somehow if they don't. (My job has an aggressive curve to their "now you know the job so make rate" time, you're expected to be about 80% of rate after the first week, including the two days spent just teaching you the basics. It's stupid and wouldn't happen if management got dinged for doing as badly as the people they fire.)

12 years of pim experience and Paulson training/ school I can say this is my favorite video I’ve geeked out on. Your plastic materials can be thicker without the what you all called sag (it’s called sink) with a very experienced process technician at the wheel but I’m happy the route you all went. That gate hole you all obsessed over could have been solved with a hot runner mold instead of a cold runner molds that you all had bought but you would have been spending A LOT more money on mold design. Gotta say, loved this video the most out of any cause you all got a taste of my field of work and kinda explained a bit more than surface level things. Thank you all for your hard work! Oh, just to ad, they are using the wrong sized nozzle of that injection press… you can tell by the blob of molten plastic at the end of the sprue. (where your mold meets the barrel) inexperience could lead to mold damage over time. But that’s years In the future. And the “auto gate cutter lol” is a sub gate in our field. Other things as well but I’ll stop nit picking ;)

Bottle caps yes its slow (approx. 2-3 sec to 24-96 pieces), Car bumpers...maybe (depends on size but it´s around 60-100 sec a piece). But more on the technical side of that... it depends on the technological process, how long is the real cooling time, injection speed and holding preasure and so on.

And while 40 sec for 2 shafts is quite slow, it should be more than enough for them in the long run.

This video show two things that I love about LTT: how honest they are about all their processes and the quality (and effort) in everything they do. That's why I watch the videos and I ordered the screwdriver as soon as I saw the email notification. Please, keep the good work, we really appreciate it.

Pretty cool, I'm going to be ordering mine very soon, my Christmas gift to me this year! From the timing on the injection mold, it looks like that one machine can produce a little over 102,000 handles per month if it's run 24/7, not counting any down time for maintenance. From the looks of the sales on your website store things are going great. I'm going to get the black and orange one with the silver shaft to start then maybe another two or three for myself down the road and probably several more for gifts next year. I hope you make enough to fully fund your retirement, all from one really well designed and manufactured screwdriver.

I can't tell you how excited I am to see this. I've been fighting with my DeWalt ratcheting driver for years and just figured I had no choice. It is awful - the shaft rusts, the ratchet skips, the bits all fall out. This is an instant buy!

As an industrial designer this was great entertainment, as well as a fantastic bit of consumer education on the decisions made for most products out there. Everything from avoiding undercuts, and shrink marks, flash etc, and the nuances of tooling for mass production, while trying to make things as ergonomic, aesthetic, and structurally integral as possible for the life of the product was really in easy to digest manner.

I love how much of this was done locally. I used to work at the tool store in maple ridge, and I was a megapro dealer. They make an excellent product. And they have a wonderful team!

I’ve been wearing in the stubby daily for some months now, and I’m impressed by the quality. The only thing I wasn’t sure about was the ninja star bit holder, and I’ve been wondering about the long-term durability of the little bit holder nubbins. Learning that it’s made of Delrin cleared all my doubts - that stuff can handle years of abuse and then simply pop back, good as new, every time. A wholehearted thanks to your entire team for being obsessive about the details on this thing. 💜 I really, really like it.
