I’m just waiting to find out this LTT sponsorship too. Wondering if they get a creator driver.

And betting 99% it’s Hacksmith

Considering their builds and what Linus said, sponsorships for them do cost a lot yet

[rose spade]

Even if it's just for the durability test, p. sure that if he doesn't get sent a creator edition one, that he'll buy one to test xD
Then again, it's not a phone, so I dunno

[hushed sonnet]

Unsure if he’d make anything more than a short for the screwdriver. He is a phone guy

I’d like to see one go to mrwhosetheboss, however I feel he wouldn’t have much use. Doesn’t really focus on anything per teardowns, just phone tech

So I doubt he’d be getting one

[rose spade]

P. sure one of the red ones goes to MKBHD (I don't think anyone has a doubt 'bout that)

[hushed sonnet]

Hacksmiths colors are also black/white aren’t they? If they were the sponsorship could also make sense

[blazing bay]

Linus giving the Powerloader a tech makeover is the content i dream of

[eager thicket]

oh god the orange

[candid fern]

I can imagine the butt hurt video that GN puts out if they don't get a screwdriver

[lime fossil]

you say that like they wouldnt just buy one if they wanted one.

[hushed sonnet]

GN aren’t Linus haters. They’ve simply disagreed with recent positions Linus has taken, and called him out for it I feel.

[lime fossil]

seeing this image gives me hope of a lambo edition

I know it shouldnt but meh

[blazing wave]

Wonder how much each of those cost to produce lol

[hazy fractal]

Soon ™️

Ngl these taxes + shipping to france are turning me crazy

[tribal meteor]

The same as the regular screwdriver, the only thing they had to do differently was run the endcap and ring molds with a different color plastic, they didn't show those molds in the screwdriver video so it is possible that they couldn't have made just 1x of each color as the molds are likely multiple (The screwdriver handle mold itself is two). So outside of the cost of any of the specific colored plastic the only increased cost really would be the labor to swap out the plastics after only doing 1 round of each color.

[blazing wave]

What I was referring to was the labor costs, labor is expensive, and it’s pretty labor intensive to switch plastic color, organize the color switch, delivery to creators, etc etc

[rose spade]

It's be pretty cool of them if they started offering more colors once they're through the initial release run, and they can start having screwdrivers in stock, ready to ship out

[chilly tartan]

I don't think they were planning on selling the other colors?

~~https://twitter.com/linusgsebastian/status/1566344012889751552~~ nvm Linus was talking about towel colours as Nasphreak rightly pointed out

[tribal meteor]

If you read .... that is in response to the towels not the screwdriver

[blazing wave]

yeah so the cost would be much, much higher on a per driver basis

unrelated to that

what are the odds one of those pops up on the resale market 5 years from now lol

[hushed sonnet]

Considering the limited number, and the thought that these are going to creators who’ve asked, I doubt it.

[blazing wave]

doubtful, but when creators move and everything else that happens in life, a lot of this kind of stuff shows up in an auction or something

[south horizon]

thanks!

[lime fossil]

hopefully before that happens we get a few color options. lowering the coolness a bit

[blazing wave]

Imo the coolness factor for most ppl probably doesn’t come from the actual color, but from the story of X creator owned this and it was custom made for them by LTT

[pastel lichen]

bruh wizmo is dog water

i have to try it like 10 times before it decides to load the info

also my backpack is coming today

also not sure if its ok to share this here but lmk

[warm pond]

💤

[blazing wave]

that vid is just becoming the rick roll of this channel

[little hemlock]

That video has been shared many times previously

I was running into that Wizmo "too many requests" issue. Opening the link in a new browser should help (until it eventually gets that error too)

And if Wizmo is going to hand it off to another carrier (like UPS), once that hand-off happens you should be able to track on that other carrier's site

Hi, I just wanted to pop in and ask if it was normal to not have a support answer after 10 days? I don't mind, but I just want to make sure my ticket wasn't forgotten or something 😄

[peak halo]

It’s not normal and you’ve not been forgotten. They’ve had a consistent backlog of 2000-3000 tickets since the backpack launched a few weeks ago, which has only gotten worse with the launch of the screwdriver last week. They’ve doubled their support team (from 2 to 4) and they’ll get round to your ticket eventually.

[fleet sand]

Alright, thanks!

[raw cairn]

Anybody got a link to that screwdriver review?

I think it's from that farm guy

[hushed sonnet]

Did you get it? lol\

shipping has been delayed everywhere so not surprising if you didn't

[pastel lichen]

it was out for delivery

and not yet

well lemme double check

ups hates me

[solid prairie]

7pm british time?

[pastel lichen]

[dry bolt]

you'll get an update at 11PM undelieverable or delayed delivery til tomorrow, happens a lot to me

wait all day for a package just for no delivery attempt

[solid prairie]

When they say delivery attempted but u were there the whole time waiting so u know j
Its bs

[dry bolt]

Most likely they just didn't load it on the truck or it was still waiting to be processed but the automatic system said it should have been on the truck.

oh I have cameras, I know if they say delivery attempted it's BS lol

[verbal mason]

Oooh. My backpack has a tracking number. A ship must have gotten through the port

[chilly tartan]

Are they still shipping the first 1500 or have they received more?

[verbal mason]

I'm in wave one, but I don't think I was first 1500

[molten prawn]

First 1500 is long shipped. Anyone in that group should know.

[chilly tartan]

some ppl said they had packages on the border for a while

but anyways, if there are more shipping do we know how many got sent out?

[molten prawn]

There was at least 2 different backpacks going to northwest US states which took a detour to Australia. I assume more than we know about did this too, since I'd guess they shipped a pallet destined for a large distribution center to the wrong place.

[chilly tartan]

wtf lmao

fr??

[molten prawn]

Found my reply. One reported it on Twitter and one here. #lttstore message

[verbal mason]

Oh wow. Wrong Redmond

I guess I'm more glad that I live in Kirkland than I knew 😉

[chilly tartan]

Twitter for customer service is one of the most obnoxious things

at least it doesnt block you from seeing threads like that

[obsidian robin]

Just wanted to share some thoughts and pics of my backpack I got yesterday. My order was one that sat from "Parcel Departed Terminal" on 08/31 until UPS started updating on 09/06 "Origin Scan" in Redmond, WA and I got it yesterday 09/08 in California.

The only quality issue I could see is the chest strap had some marks or dirt on it right in the middle. Box was sealed and it was still wrapped in plastic so not sure how that happened. I emailed support to make them aware but its not urgent since I don't plan to use it anyway. Hopefully when they have some spares I can just replace that part since it is removeable.

One design issue that doesn't make sense is that pens / pencils bottom out before they hang by their clip on the very front pocket. Can see the same thing on the product pictures as well.

Not an issue with the backpack but the 2 battery banks I have fit perfectly in the pockets, but are too big to plug in a cable and use the passthrough.

Its pretty big. I have a flight next week and will see if it fits under the seat in front of me on Southwest. After traveling I'll post a review on the store page.

My box said 8198 of 9700. Pics: https://imgur.com/a/Umz7j7H

[pearl hound]

LTT watching the Project Farms video: "Yea, Project Farms. Yea, science!"

If you didn't get that I'm disappointed in you

[quartz comet]

​Does anyone know if iFixIt bits will fit in the LTT Screwdriver? I believe they are 1/4" bits but include an adapter for 4mm if that's needed. I know that 12 wouldn't fit inside of the screwdriver but I just want to know. I was thinking about just getting the iFixIt Pro Tech Toolkit rather than the LTT Screwdriver (for just $5 more), but I believe I want to get the LTT Screwdriver with the Mako Driver Kit.

The one thing making me think about not getting the LTT Screwdriver is the long waitlist for wave 6 by now (and I likely can't order for a little while) so I might not even get it until next year...

However, it literally looks like the most perfect screwdriver.

[hushed sonnet]

What are you trying to fix

The LTT driver is not a precision driver. It’s a ratcheting driver

[chilly tartan]

You can use the adapter

But you probably don't want to

[hushed sonnet]

If you’re fixing something that needs precision bits, go with ifixit

[chilly tartan]

The ifixit kit is much more versatile for everything pc and tech

[hushed sonnet]

The screwdriver never should’ve included a Y000 bit

It’s about usecase

Just like you wouldn’t use an ifixit driver to properly build a PC as it’s tiny. The LTT driver is too huge for precision work

Ifixit is for phones. Laptops. Tablets. Maybe controllers and consoles

I’d actually use the LTT driver for a Playstation or Xbox

That’s where I’d say they might be interchangeable

Right around home console size devices

As I have repaired consoles with the ifixit in the past but the LTT driver would seem reasonable

[chilly tartan]

While maybe slightly undersized, i have had no issue using the pro tech toolkit screwdriver to build all of my PCs

There's only a handful of actually large screws that i feel like the LTT would be good for like case screws

[worthy prawn]

My backpack just arrived and I think it has a defect. One of the main straps connecting to the bottom of the bag (the adjustable part) is not fully looped through

The thick part at the end that prevents the adjustability from coming completely loose isn’t actually thread in

And because it’s the thick part I can’t exactly just push it through

[chilly tartan]

pic?

[worthy prawn]

How it’s meant to be:

How it is

[chilly tartan]

oh thats weird

[worthy prawn]

I can’t just stick the thick part back through

[chilly tartan]

Right that'd be tough its twiple wide

wow thats a massive fuckup

What was the argument for why they use aluminum strap thingies

I've never heard of one breaking before

[molten prawn]

They're strong asf.

I don't think the one in the photo broke, I think the strap managed to end up out of the buckle and doesn't fit back in.

[quartz comet]

I see, thank you.

The problem is that I'd possibly want to do all kinds of repair, as in having a catch-all screwdriver without breaking the bank.

[chilly tartan]

i know his strap isnt broken

[quartz comet]

The main thing I'd need a screwdriver for is my space heater gaming laptop, but other use cases could be possible.

No it literally is a space heater lmfao

[chilly tartan]

but I feel like the only thing metal straps would do is marr up the straps quicker

i have no idea though i will have to see when i get mine

[quartz comet]

So, moral of the story, should I just stick with the iFixIt Pro Tech Toolkit?

[molten prawn]

I don't know for fact, but I'd assume it won't be too bad for the strap. They're certainly stronger than the typical cheap plastic buckle, which is a plus.

[chilly tartan]

buckle thats what theyre called

[quartz comet]

I'd actually be able to get it for my birthday (November 21st) and it's only $5 more than the screwdriver itself.

Then I get everything else as well, like the cool suction cup thingy and jimmy

[molten prawn]

If you need precision drivers just get the ifixit kit.

[quartz comet]

I don't exactly know what I need.

I mean, I take off the screws on the bottom of the PC and pry off the case, and then sometimes I take off the little screws for the fans/heatsink to access the CPU/GPU (have done this before for thermal paste replacement (yes it was still a space heater afterwards))

[chilly tartan]

you dont need 70 dollars of anything just to take the screws off ur pc door

[quartz comet]

Ik, but it just seems nice in case I want to do other repairs.

[chilly tartan]

But I would say the IFIXIT then

[quartz comet]

Maybe replacing my phone battery with the max capacity of like 73%

[chilly tartan]

theres no way you'd want to use the ltt driver for replacing a gpu cooler

and a phone, ifixit as well

[quartz comet]

Not replacing that

Just the thermal paste

Lol I'm going overkill, aren't I?

That's good, though, just like the LTT Router

https://images.tnologymc.com/U4KyHswmDST5ZhYw If I had the money, this would be nice.

[chilly tartan]

yeah thats too much

[molten prawn]

I think he just meant opening a GPU or whatever is a bit small for the LTT driver.

[quartz comet]

I see.

[molten prawn]

That also applies to the insides (and sometimes outer shell) of laptops.

[quartz comet]

Here is a screw that was in my gaming laptop

It's not anymore due to the fact that the hole screw holder thing came off of my laptop's motherboard, idk why

[molten prawn]

I'd just think of a the LTT driver as more for household standard sized screws (pc thumbscrew category of screws), and go with an ifixit or other precision set if you're going mainly for smaller electronic screws. You'll need to have both at some point, but where you allocate budget depends on your own day to day.

[quartz comet]

Okay.

I do have a household screwdriver somewhere for a flathead and probably a philips.

Therefore, I might just want to get the iFixIt one.

Getting the Pro Tech Toolkit seems like the right move to me, however, as I can then get a lot more than a screwdriver and some bits.

[pastel lichen]

I GOT IT

[quartz comet]

?

[pastel lichen]

[chilly tartan]

pro tech toolkit very good

i have one myselfg

[quartz comet]

https://images.tnologymc.com/ZVfdMpDBqumpI5hJ Really though

[chilly tartan]

oh well also I should have said this whole time

[quartz comet]

Even comes with a rolling case thing

[chilly tartan]

If you dont currently have a ratcheting screwdriver, don't buy the fkin ltt one

[quartz comet]

Looks amazing

[quartz comet]

Oh

Why not?

[chilly tartan]

because you have no idea if you need a large ratcheting screwdriver, dont go spend 70 dollars on smth you have no idea if u neewd

[quartz comet]

Okay.

[chilly tartan]

Buy the fixit, and get the $13 amazon basics ratcheting screwdriver

then if you like using teh ratchet get the LTT

[quartz comet]

I don't have that much money

[chilly tartan]

all the more reason not to gamble on a big ratcheting driver

[pastel lichen]

got me backpack

[chilly tartan]

how is it

[pastel lichen]

late af delivery

idk havent opened

[chilly tartan]

when were u supposed to get it

[pastel lichen]

7

[molten prawn]

Were you the "7pm delivery" from a couple hours ago?

[pastel lichen]

yeah

[molten prawn]

nice

[chilly tartan]

2 hours late?

[pastel lichen]

yes

[chilly tartan]

oh no!

[pastel lichen]

WELLLLLLLLLLLL

[molten prawn]

And here I am with my shipping changing from Tuesday to Wednesday -_-

[pastel lichen]

usually when it doesnt come by 7 it gets delayed

since its friday i woulda had to have waited til monday 7pm

[worthy prawn]

Update: after literally pulling non stop with pliers and an insane amount of force I actually got it through. Still going to contact support because it shouldn’t be like that for a $250 backpack. At least I don’t have to wait months for a new one though.

[chilly tartan]

W QC

[cursive coral]

So the fan art that Linus mentioned in stream (apparently the word for the genre of art is censored), how long until we have an LTT shirt with the art on it?;

[pastel lichen]

hey guys

[hushed sonnet]

The Red?

No I guess very bright orange

[pastel lichen]

Ok finally opened my backpack

This thing is so nice I almost don't even want to use it

So cooooooollll

Love the deep zippers

Feels a bit too big to be an every day backpack

for the bag of holding i wish the zippers went all the way down as well on both sides but one side cant due to the side pocket

i also think it would look way cooler without the side pocket, but it is useful and i can already tell i will be using it a lot

linus says it is fine, however he rides a more upright bike(SV650)

and post it on ltt store as well

im happy

[foggy valley]

Is there a delay on shipping the screwdriver and backpack internationally (Australia)? I got in wave 1 for both the second they were available but haven't gotten any shipping notifications while I've seen others have

[candid fern]

👀

[potent ocean]

No delay yet, backpack wave 1 should ship before September 20, screwdriver before October 20

The backpacks are going out 150p at a time, as they receive containers

No screwdrivers have been shipped, except a few for review

[candid fern]

unfortunate

there were so many screwdrivers in the LTT screwdriver video

i wonder why they're not ready for ship out yet

[potent ocean]

They may have sold them at the popup

They are still in the expected times though, they have over a month to ship 15k

Surprisingly didnt have any issues with it coming into the UK

no double tax, and no custom charges (woo!)

[chrome night]

my backpack shipped

[peak halo]

First four digits of order number please

[chrome night]

328612 😛

bought it like 15 minutes after I got the email

[peak halo]

Original order number 3270XX and overlooked, so much for keeping my place in line

[chrome night]

rip

what happened?

[peak halo]

Shipping address change after they’d “figured out a solution” to keep one’s place in line

[chrome night]

oh, so they basically cancelled your original order to create a new with the new shipping address?

[peak halo]

Nope, because WAN Hoodie had already shipped I bought the backpack a second time, let them know both order numbers and they refunded me the first

[chrome night]

oh

why didn't you just have them update the shipping address of the first order? 😮

[peak halo]

Shopify won’t let them do that even with unshipped orders

[blazing bay]

Thats not easy. Not even just an LTT thing, most sites I've ordered from have issues doing that. Not a typical issue their ready for

[peak halo]

I am once again asking nicklmg on Twitter for etc etc

[chrome night]

I guess it can be iffy, especially if shipping cost changes

not really looked much into it tbf

[peak smelt]

they could have just put you back in wave 1, so yea some places back but still earlier than you otherwise would have ordered.

[peak halo]

Going by this I should have stayed in the first 1,500, had they actually kept my place in line https://twitter.com/nicklmg/status/1561877556348866560

[peak halo]

~3,000

[opal night]

what backpack order numbers are we on rn?

i'm on #3311XX leaving on a 2 week long vacations (shipping to eu) ... and i'm kinda afraid of them shipping out when i'm away and it arriving when i'm still away

anyone from eu can comment on shipping times for backpack from experiance?

[vestal kiln]

Shouldn't matter that you're away

Most couriers if you're away will either just put it inside of a rubbish bin or something, or they'll leave it with a neighbor

Failing that they'll just leave a note telling you to pick it up at their depo

[opal night]

noone left in the building

[opal night]

ye but it's usually for like up to 72 hours here

[opal night]

not really an option here

.... hmm... hope there'll be no issue and things work out

well they rated the shipping time for 14-28 days - i hope they won't outdo themselves 😉

[vestal kiln]

Expect it to be late

Delivery services as a whole have been slow in europe

It's been like 3 years since I've last had something arrive on time 😂

[chilly tartan]

lmfao I might need to change my order a second time

not sure yet though

[vivid stirrup]

Same which is worrying me I was definitely top 3000 If I remember correctly since sleepy martyn watched orders go from 8000 to 4000

And tweeted at linus man he a dumbass

[echo siren]

backpack came in yesterday

this thing is stiff AF

hopefully it breaks in soon

[chilly tartan]

Yeah

Does it deform like at all? What would happen if you sat on it while it was laying backside-down?

[candid fern]

Just don't do that

[chilly tartan]

What would happen

Would it leave a crease, fold in weird ways?

[light bramble]

Kinda sad my bag hasn’t shipped yet. I have an upcoming trip

[chilly tartan]

I actually do want to know because storing a bag that is incapable of folding up in any way is gonna be annoying

oh yeah thats definitely true

I guess I'll need a nice 50 liter cube to store it in

[hushed sonnet]

Btw

It's honestly an interesting order to me

I was expecting the black shafts side by side

[chilly tartan]

im surprised how similar the last 2 are

black cap silver shaft would have been my buy

[autumn canopy]

i thought black shaft would get barely any buys

especially because linus stated the black colour comes off easily

[candid fern]

Because anyone paying $70 for a screwdriver is an LTT fanboy

Of course we want the orange accent

[chilly tartan]

yeah im not surprised the orange sold well

for that fact

[autumn canopy]

its a good screwdriver not just because its LTT

[chilly tartan]

Yeah but its an expensive af screwdriver, and most ppl dont need a ratcheting driver

[autumn canopy]

true

[candid fern]

Yeah but who is buying the screwdrivers, LTT fans

I got an orange / black for myself
Black / silver for my fiance and best friend

[chilly tartan]

whale moment

[candid fern]

I believe in the product , Linus is a highly critical control freak. I can't think of a better person to buy a product from.

[chilly tartan]

Maybe, but I wouldnt buy one for someone who has never used a ratcheting screwdriver before for a significant amount of time

[covert lintel]

I just want my driver 😁 ima wait patiently

Bc my dumb self bought the orange/black and black shaft

[chilly tartan]

orange with black shaft is offputting to me im not sure why

[covert lintel]

Weird

Tho I can see it

[vivid stirrup]

Wow all black stealth is the least popular that's what I got lol for both shafts

[obtuse flicker]

Guess I can’t say much. I bought one of each for my self. Then two for my dad and brother in law.

[covert lintel]

Jeeez

Buy me a backpack why don’t ya 🤣

[vivid stirrup]

Jesus

I bought the black shaft screwdriver for display and the silver shaft for work

[candid fern]

I have a black/orange for display and a black/black for work

😂

[obtuse flicker]

I’ll have one in my backpack, my work shop, my camper and one at my shop tool box. Been saying for a few years when they come out I’d replace ever screw drive I have with it lol. Same with the backpack I’ve needed a new one for a year and a half and wouldn’t buy one.

Being a manual machinist, and welder by trade. And gun smith by hobby, atv/side by side tinker and back woods camping you never know how many times you need one and it’s in a diff building for shop lol

[vivid stirrup]

I'll be honest I've been thinking about getting the amazon basics 12 in 1 ratcheting screwdriver tbh

I don't think the company I work for would honestly spend the money for the 14 I think technician's we have on staff for the ltt screwdriver (not including the engineers) so might get the amazon basics one to trial while I wait for the ltt one to be delivered to me

[obtuse flicker]

For the money they are really good.

[vivid stirrup]

That's why I'll get the company to order one for me and I'm gonna test it and choose to either recommend or not to supply them to our staff

Also it will probably be free anyway

[obtuse flicker]

Oh ya 70$ for a screwdriver would be a hard sell to the average company. I don’t know if I could approve that for my shop lol

[vivid stirrup]

I just realised that project farm didn't include the amazon one

[hushed sonnet]

You could probably convince them to go for the automotive megapro

[vivid stirrup]

if im being honest i hate the megapro

oh

i found a different one

[chilly tartan]

Do it, don't go $70 deep on a screwdriver type you havent used before

[vivid stirrup]

i found one selling in the uk is different to the one in linus showed

[vivid stirrup]

I bought 2 LTT screwdrivers already lol but i can get the amazon one for free lol

[chilly tartan]

or well yea

there ya go

[vivid stirrup]

im thinking more about the staff at the company i work for and tbh when my ltt one comes in ill probably give away the amazon one

[chilly tartan]

Ah

7x the price for a driver with meh warranty, that's kinda a gamble

maybe they would be down for replacing damn near anything if u buy like 20 tho

[vivid stirrup]

ill be honest every product ive bought from ltt has held up

waterbottles, clothes, jackets, everything

someone smashed my water bottle as hard as they could into the sticking out corner of a wall, popped the dint out and still works great

and tbh i used a racheting screwdriver before and i hated it XD

itsa weird seeing like 20 amazon basic screwdrivers with different names and colours

also the amazon basic is what i thought we would be getting with the ltt screwdriver which is 3 philips, 3 torx, 3 flat head and 3 hex but i dont mind ltts choice 🙂

[hushed sonnet]

That’s the automotive model I was mentioning

That one has a built in magnet too

[vivid stirrup]

being honest i doubt they wanna spend $50 on a screwdriver either

that does look good, not as good as the ltt but good, basics one will have to do

[coarse sage]

It would have been nice if the team sent some backpacks to edc bag reviewers or something similar to the screwdriver

[chilly tartan]

Yeah you'd think they would do that

Nope, not a single non-ltt backpack video on youtube yet

[peak halo]

“Best ratcheting screwdriver for building PCs” vs “Best backpack for Linus Sebastian”

There’s so much more variety in the backpack space that it would be difficult to review objectively

[chilly tartan]

First, there's no need for a review to be objective, there should just be more perspectives and reviews of things to consider

Also, I would like to see exactly how the build quality is, things regarding that can be objectively observed

[hushed sonnet]

There weren’t people screaming about having 3rd party reviews for these

[chilly tartan]

Yeah, not entirely sure why there werent

besides the fact that ppl blindly trust that ltt showed every fault and feature perfectly accurately

[coarse sage]

I would have enjoyed seeing it tested in build quality against my current edc bag the 5.11 brand. I mean Linus said it's a well built bag so why not let some edc reviewers have some fun with it

[chilly tartan]

Yeah, fr

I mean look the answer is obvious why they didn't do all these things

[subtle jetty]

why would I get an LTT screwdriver if I already have a bit ratcheting screwdriver, and the ifixit manta

[chilly tartan]

Good question, do you want a marginally better driver?

[subtle jetty]

I don't find myself using the ratcheting function much

[chilly tartan]

then i dont see a reason why you'd want it

[subtle jetty]

cool, good to know

[peak smelt]

how do you know its only marginally better? did you get one at the popup and been comparing it between the two? if so you should post some pics or vids demoing it.

[chilly tartan]

Hey guys, I just came across this video. I don't know if it's been posted before but they reviewed the screwdriver!
https://youtu.be/845HUaWYSQA

[plain fern]

It's a good ratcheting screwdriver, competitive with the luxury brands, and carrying a moderate merch tax

Unless you want to support the channel, you might regret how much you spent on it, but you shouldn't regret having it in your toolbox

[chilly tartan]

Thats a good way to put it

[stable ridge]

With light use I don’t see why I’d need another driver for a very long time.

That’s most of my justification

[plain fern]

It'll probably take him at least 3 more years to release a v2 anyways

[peak smelt]

Even with heavy use it should still hold up well, based on the PF rankings it and the PB Swiss were decently clear of 'the rest' and if the locked rachet play worries you then just use a fixed handle driver.

[chilly tartan]

Okay but I honestly think if im not bashing it against stuff that an amazon basics ratchet would also last 3 years

but I have no desire to use a ratcheting driver, so i really got no clue at all

[plain fern]

And it's perfectly fine to not be the target market

Just means you'll have more money to throw at cable ties and magnetic cable tiedowns

[hushed sonnet]

I would find it interesting if they could do a general fixed driver, but with bit changing and an extra long shaft

[plain fern]

I think there would be a very limited market for that, especially in PC building enthusiasts

[chrome night]

Usually takes about a month, I got my shipping notification yesterday so guess I’ll find out 😛 shipping to Norway

[plain fern]

They'd be competing more directly with ifixit, and as long as there are interchangeable bits, it wont be great for tight fit locations like the shielded pcie bracket screws

[peak smelt]

mine has departed terminal 10 days ago now... so hopefully in the next few days it updates

[plain fern]

For a fixed driver, personally, I'd probably buy the GN kit instead if supporting the industry, or wiha / wera / etc.

[hushed sonnet]

No I’m thinking like foot long shaft

Extra long shaft drivers exist

I’ve got a few at work I use

[plain fern]

I got a hazard fraught set I use

It's great for deep things

[hushed sonnet]

Something I’d rather have than independent long drivers

A single long shaft

[plain fern]

https://www.harborfreight.com/2-piece-super-long-screwdriver-set-34253.html

[hushed sonnet]

Yes. That requires me to carry multiple drivers if they’ve got different heads

The point of having interchangeable bits is to avoid that

[plain fern]

I'm curious though. Why would you want that to be a fixed shaft?

Vs a ratcheting mechanism with a long shaft, and just dealing with a bit of slop, but having more options in a single tool

[pastel lichen]

[blazing bay]

Ive tried to bust up one of those bottles in a fit of rage that im not too proud of. But honestly it held up wayy better then i expected it to vs a factory floor lmao. Took alot to get to the point of needing replacement. Could probably still use it around the house if i wanted to.

[vivid stirrup]

Mine wasn't in a fit of rage, someone broke into my locker, did it and then just left it on top spitefully with the massive dint in it, I went ape shit then

[opal night]

kk thx

[vivid stirrup]

Whats your order number

[vivid stirrup]

he rite

[vivid stirrup]

with the rachet having play when locked so the rachet works to start screws yeah probably not worth you getting it lol

[mossy dew]

Can we just take a moment to think that the LTT screw driver has a bigger shaft then linus himself.

[fringe monolith]

Just placed my first LTTStore order, driver, bits, 40oz and a mystery 21oz bottle. I wasn't expecting the extra taxes on top but hey, it'll be worth it. Now to wait for shipping over to here in the UK

[eager charm]

As a tech enthusiast I had to get both the Backpack and the Screwdriver asap. The additional cost for shipping do Germany did surprise me a bit at first, but after Linus explained it I totally understood the reason and want to support his enterprise even more.

Recently I was looking into storage gear for working out. I wondered how people normally wear their smartphone, battery bank and cables when movement or location does not allow for a backpack or carrying belt around the waist. I bought several crappy upper arm contraptions for holding a smartphone, but they all failed to impress me in both comfort and build quality. On amazon there where mostly cheap imports. The most expensive one I could get was just as uncomfortable to wear. I wonder if more people would have a use for such a carrying contraption.

[little hemlock]

The only gear I carry when I work out is my phone and earbuds, sometimes a water bottle. I either use a small runner's backpack, or a pocket in my shorts / runner's leggings if it's just the phone

[eager charm]

Since I am using a mobile router to get get internet on the go I normally have my smartphone, earbuds, router and a powerbank on me. While the powerbank is optional in the fitness studio, I still need a place to stuff 2 smartphone sized items when working out on a bench - cant use a waistbelt or rucksack for that. My last test included was using 2 belts for my left and right upper arm, but as I said, those bags are really not made to be worn comfortably for several hours. The straps were just basic cheap holding straps with cheap plastic holding them together. I would really like to find something more durable and comfortable to wear while training.

[still junco]

What about a powerbank that you can put rechargeable batteries in it, like you'd put AAA.
And as for the connections, what about a modular design for the power output, if you need usb-c or something new comes up, you'd just slide the usb-c out, and put the other output in?

Also would LOVE to see an LTT Computer Case. Something nice, affordable and GOOD like the bequiet pure base 500dx.

[plain fern]

If you're willing to compromise, I think they mentioned their pantone color on the video of Sarah's plastic chips. You can probably buy a nice case, and get someone to paint it

And for extra authenticity, drop it a few times

[vivid stirrup]

sorry quick question has anyone used the amazon basics rachet screwdriver?

[rose spade]

I think one dude at the pop-up shop livestream said they bought the Amazon Basics screwdriver only like a month before the pop-up shop...

[vivid stirrup]

yeah i saw that

i was hoping someone on the group might own one

gonna get one ordered tomorrow an play with it,

[still junco]

https://youtu.be/845HUaWYSQA

[vivid stirrup]

wasnt a driver in project farm

[vivid stirrup]

yeah but ill be honest, hes like he doesnt give any results

[hushed sonnet]

Didn’t he say pretty much the cheapos <20 were absolute trash and might as well get a non ratcheting driver

Or at least the cheapest one was just bad

[jade mortar]

That’s by design. He doesn’t want to make the decision for you. You saw the tests and the results of them, you decide which you prefer.

[blazing wave]

Imo having a roundup at the end of all the stats, makes a lot of sense. It’s not making the decision for you, it’s just displaying all the data in an easier to digest way.

[timid elk]

I have it

[vivid stirrup]

oh cool how is it?

[timid elk]

It’s not bad for the price

I liked it because it has a similar style bit holder

[vivid stirrup]

im more thinking for my collegues at work as it seems to be the closest to ltt and also same

why im gonna get one and see if i can trial run it for abit till my ltt screwdriver comes

[timid elk]

I don’t have a ltt one yet to try it against but I thought the same to try it before I got a ltt one

[vivid stirrup]

mines more if we supply screwdrivers to our staff, id rather give one like the ltt and amazon basics is the closest thats cheap

the company probably wont pay for the ltt or the megapro one so this will suffice

[lapis coyote]

Yo yall

https://youtu.be/845HUaWYSQA

Seen this? /s

[chilly tartan]

oh my good god

[lapis coyote]

I gotta post it atleast once a week

Its a law

I think i posted it 4 times here

[vivid stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/connor-detroit-detroit-become-human-gif-15593015

i was gonna say if you keep posting it you will have XD

[lapis coyote]

Xd

[vivid stirrup]

I honestly wish project farm included the amazon basic one tbh

It's so similar to ltt and megapro and honestly need more info about it but there's nothing

[viscid shell]

If you're referring to the Project Farm screwdriver video, you've posted it before. 👀

#lttstore message

[sullen frost]

Hey guys, you should see this cool new video called project farm reviews screwdrivers /s

[glossy phoenix]

I can see not an LTT, but company won’t even spring for a $30 Megapro? Lol

[sullen frost]

I’d say the improvements in the LTT driver are worth the difference in price

[vivid stirrup]

It's £50 in the uk

So it cost alot more than in the us/Canada

[chilly tartan]

31usd here on amaz

[vivid stirrup]

Wish it was that cheap here

In uk to us it's $64.92

You get 2 megapros for the price of one uk one

I thought amazon basic would be the next best thing with 12 bits also, not fond on the removable shaft but yaknow

[hushed sonnet]

Just so you arent splitting up the mobile share links and the desktop coppied links

[chilly tartan]

lmfaoo

thats fucked

[timid elk]

I really like the removable shaft it great if you have to do something with more precision or get into tight places

[bright ginkgo]

What happened to this shirt on lttstore?

[small maple]

was at work today and a customer was wearing a wan hoodie….. suddenly i find myself wondering if i would suit one haha

[stuck torrent]

I think older shirts tend to slowly and quietly be phased out if they're not very popular, like the hdd shirt there. Usually still anpossibility to get from mystery shirt though.

[timid elk]

I think there might be a deal where you can get a free Bennie if you get a wan hoodie and wan sweat pants

[lime fossil]

Id have bought the silver for that reason but since the black is "limited edition" / this time only i got black. I think that likely is what drove a fair number of people to get it

[glossy phoenix]

HDD shirt is the only shirt I have ordered from LTT. Lol

[echo siren]

what cable organizer bags are you guys buying for the ltt backpack?

[chilly tartan]

i dont even know what that is

I just googled it and that looks like something I should have lmao

[echo siren]

gonna try out this cheap one on amazon by bubm

[plain fern]

You think that

But then you realize that it's just wasting space in your pack, because you never wind your cables tight and put them back in their pocket

You just shove them back in wherever there's space

*results may vary

I always revert to cable stuffing

[echo siren]

cable stuffing to a smaller space can limit how much space it occupies

[hushed sonnet]

I would recommend not bubm. The generic ones I’ve found with the little cable symbols for me were better in quality

Bubm did have a nice PlayStation/Xbone game cases storage that’s pretty nice. But the zipper on their cable organizer failed fairly quickly for me. Whereas I’m still going strong with this blue generic one

[echo siren]

this one?

nvm that one was small af

[hushed sonnet]

Actually the one I’m currently using is black because it had a pouch on one side perfect size for my new iPad mini before I got it a keyboard case

[hushed sonnet]

This is the one I currently use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MC76PCG/

Carries near all the cables I need. I could move the cable from the bottom middle to the top right and put a usb-c dock in there too, however I stopped carrying the dock until I could find a slightly better one

But in this is basically every current standard cable variant, a ton of flash drives, some adapters, an Anker 30w slim wall charger, and a Sandisk portable SSD, with the pocket on the back able to fit any variation of ipad mini along with their smart cover

I can't find the BUBM one as I probably threw it away, but I think one of the failures was the zipper wasn't sewn underneath the cloth at the end so the zipper fell off immediately

[echo siren]

that's pretty common

i remember it was mentioned that there was an expansion coming from ltt

hoepfully we get a cable organizer expansion

[hushed sonnet]

It looks like I've actually bought two bubm cable organizers in the past, but ultimately landing on the one I mentioned above over either of them. one was double layered. I may have like the better access to the ipad vs the double layered one

I just wouldn't call their cable organizers anything special vs one of the other generic nonbranded ones

[dusty brook]

Can I store something acidic, like lemonade in the water bottle? Wanted to confirm, since the inside is metal.

[echo siren]

Yea

[lapis coyote]

Yes

Snazzzzzy

[candid fern]

The different colored cap costed them more than a whole screwdriver

[lapis coyote]

Wow

Thats literally in the picture you posted

[peak halo]

Years ago I bought a BUBM roll-up organiser and it’s been good - they don’t seem to sell roll-ups any more

[candid fern]

Ah yeah, you're the same guy constantly spamming the project farm video

Been meaning to block you. Thanks for the reminder

[solid prairie]

First you should watch the video. Here I'll get u the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=845HUaWYSQA

[summer shell]

@valid pawn I don't mean to be intrusive, however, I am wondering if by any chance anyone at LTTStore staff has time to look into case 52461 - I want to order with business delivery and invoice, we are in an ongoing organizational change and would like to receive an invoice before the structure change is finalized. Could you please look into it?

[vestal kiln]

I think you need to email their corporate email

Or send a letter

[serene cargo]

The rules explicitly state to not tag LTT staff unless they are active in the channel. Best of luck to you

[coarse sage]

Wouldn't [e-mail] be a better option

[plain fern]

#lttstore message

Pinging staff about support tickets, especially if urgent, is allowed

Don't spam them though.

Tweeting at Nick light is also mentioned frequently on the wan show

[serene cargo]

I'd suggest they pin that or make a note in the rules, as it runs counter to server rules

[plain fern]

Yeah, took me a while to find that post. Something pinned woulda been great

[chilly tartan]

That's kinda ridiculous you can't tag ltt staff when Twitter literally is their customer support

Oh well apparently it is allowed

[serene cargo]

It isn't not not allowed. Is it?

[chilly tartan]

😵‍💫

[lime fossil]

Or perhaps people should consider not minimodding

Dont jump on folks for maybe not perfectly following rules. Things aren't super rigid all the time and reaching out to staff is sometimes necessary in such ways.

[serene cargo]

Dude joined the server, agreed to the rules, and immediately violated one. If you can't see the humor in that...

[chilly tartan]

What is minimodding

Oh nvm I get it

Sucking up to the mods and complaining about minor rule issues

[plain fern]

how about we stop

tweeting at staff is allowed. a staff member has said that pinging staff about support tickets is an exception to the serverwide rule. it would be nice if they pinned that statement.

[chilly tartan]

👍

[pastel lichen]

[chilly tartan]

Have any more bags shipped?

& how many in port?

Managed to use Twitter for once without it blocking me for not having an account. Look like only the first 3k are out still

Sadd

[chrome night]

I got a shipping notification on Friday

Haven’t gotten any further updates yet

[chilly tartan]

I am wave 2 so I have a long time to wait evidently

I have no idea what spot I am tho cos I had an address change

[chrome night]

Who knows then 😳 apparently not everyone kept their position after an address change

[chilly tartan]

Pog awesome

[serene cargo]

The store and shipping is going to explode again with all the stuff sitting in port atm

[chilly tartan]

Can't wait to get my bag in 2023

[serene cargo]

what do we have? backpacks, mep shirts, shop jackets, 64oz water bottles, probably a pile of other stuff

[candid fern]

Screwdriver

[hushed sonnet]

Screwdriver will not be in ports

[serene cargo]

Is it just the ratchet and shaft assembling being made in China?

[hushed sonnet]

Only the ratchets for them

[chilly tartan]

That could still cause delays thoe

[serene cargo]

Depends on how they are shipped. You can fit a lot ratchets in a small box

[hushed sonnet]

It could, but I suspect they’ve already got their ratchets moving. And a lot more of those fit in a single container than any of their other products

[chilly tartan]

Oh yeah prob a ton

[serene cargo]

Air shipping may be feasible for the ratchets

[hushed sonnet]

I wouldn’t go that far.

But I doubt delays will be as substantial considering they’re mainly manufactured locally

[chilly tartan]

I wonder if or when we'll see a 3rd party create a video on the bag

[hushed sonnet]

Screwdriver delivery dates are probably pretty on point, as they expect material to come in while manufacturing other batches instead of waiting for the final product to ship

[lime fossil]

Did they tweet that or something?

The shop jacket does look pretty nice (for tasks where long sleeves are okay)

[hushed sonnet]

I think he said in WAN basically a lot of things at the port

[serene cargo]

Yeah, WAN show and maybe Nick Light's twitter account. I can't recall perfectly because I've heard it a few times in a couple different places

[lime fossil]

Gotcha gotcha

Hopefully someone will comment on how the screwdriver fits in he various shop jacket pockets tho

[serene cargo]

This hurts me to type, but a YouTube short of someone dropping the screwdriver into various pockets in different LTTStore merch is probably content

[lime fossil]

Id legitimately appreciate that

[peak halo]

Eight days before the 20th and still no shipping notif for backpack sadface

[chilly tartan]

Idk why they aren't making shorts of all kinds of randoms shit

[potent ocean]

Same, but I’m at around #6000. You were in the first 2k, right?

[chilly tartan]

Like what happens if u sit on a backpack

[serene cargo]

I think they may be trying to hire someone for that

Seems like they've churned through a few people in that role recenly

[chilly tartan]

I got a shirt list that I'll make if I get a backpack

[lime fossil]

What happens entirely depends on what's in it

[chilly tartan]

Sitting on it, loading it with sff pc stuff, seeing if you can shake out an airtag

[lime fossil]

Used to use my school bag as a seat often

[chilly tartan]

If it's empty is my main concern

[lime fossil]

When it's just clothes I still use a bag as a seat

[chilly tartan]

Since it's so boxy and rigid, will it leave creases? Break something?

[lime fossil]

But an empty bag won support me

[chilly tartan]

Prob

Thats just not my main concern

I'd want to know though

Can you compress it at all, what happens when you do

[peak halo]

It makes you happy

[chilly tartan]

Yeah that's

Helpful

But the wimpiest crush

[eager lily]

from what ive heard, its fine to be compressed but not for long periods of time.

[chilly tartan]

Does it crease or worse if you compress for a period of time?

[eager lily]

yeah

[chilly tartan]

Mmmhm

[eager lily]

ltt backpack is good, but its not for me so i dont need it.

[chilly tartan]

I only want it to put sff pc in it

And from what I've heard it'll fit but honestly I don't know why there isn't a video of it

Cmon lienald just put a pc in it

[eager lily]

i just buy a $40 backpack from target and it works great for a couple years

[chilly tartan]

My jansport can NOT fit my pc

Fabric too weak and rips the corners

Texhnically it fits but very badly

[peak halo]

I don’t fancy squishing it into one of these

[chilly tartan]

not a chance

[eager lily]

ltt backpack is very durable if thats what your after

[chilly tartan]

Yeah

I'm not sure if it actually fits in the pockets tho

I assume it does

An early revision on ltt video could fit a jackery power bank so

[eager lily]

they post the dimensions on their website. Id check it against your pc

[chilly tartan]

The measurements don't rly help

But I have a p small pc I'm sure it's fine

[lime fossil]

Would still like someone to double check the length of a baseball bat hatd fit

[eager lily]

im pretty sure it fits an H1

[chilly tartan]

Yeah see random shit they need to put in it

[lime fossil]

20in or so from previous calcs

Which is likely acceptable but not ideal

I need to find a slightly bigger pack like 24 to 30in would be better

[little hemlock]

also in the backpack short circuit video Linus mentions that the laptop slot will fit a 17" laptop, and then demos putting in a 16" one
https://youtu.be/tZiSRiMe47Q?t=355

[lime fossil]

Minimize foam sword or whatever smacking people as walking around if using it as a convention bag

[chilly tartan]

Looks too big to wear in crowded areas

[lime fossil]

Or too small depending on the scenario

[chilly tartan]

I don't think you'd want anything bigger in a crowded area

[peak halo]

Now the reCAPTCHA won’t even work

lttstore-dot-com hates me

[chilly tartan]

Get googed

[vivid stirrup]

Welp what's everyone up to

[peak halo]

Playing catch-up after a busy weekend, paid my respects to the dead yesterday

[vivid stirrup]

Oh who

[peak halo]

That there sovereign

[vivid stirrup]

Oh she didn't come anywhere near us she went Manchester route apparently rather than the m1

[peak halo]

I stay less than 20 miles from Balmoral so made it to a nearby village

Still have to watch that PC build stream to see how badly Linus misspoke about the death judging by the walkback on WAN

[candid fern]

I have a Lenovo P50 for work, it's a thick boy

It BARELY fits

In the biggest pocket

[little hemlock]

P50s are 15.6", right?

[hushed sonnet]

It basically seemed like he said it didn’t affect him. And he doesn’t care so much for someone who happened to be royal just because they were royal and such

[chilly tartan]

He didn't say anything wrong

Someone died, very sad, moving on. I was not friends with the queen and neither was linus. We don't care

[vivid stirrup]

I need my backpack DX

Idk how I'm not in the top 3000 as I ordered my backpack wave 1 at 8000

[candid fern]

They are 15.6, but they are also super thick boy laptops

[vivid stirrup]

(It was over 8000 but the specific number I have no idea 8800 sounds right)

[chilly tartan]

Rip

[hushed sonnet]

They did warn that this point, there’s a change it might stretch past the expected dates. They tried to account for delays in their shipping but didn’t happen enough

[vivid stirrup]

Oh I'm not bothered about waiting longer

They said 3000 have shipped

Yet I was in the top 3000

(From the amount left on wave 1)

[hushed sonnet]

It’s possible they’re group shipping to different areas. Where are you located?

Grouping some orders

[vivid stirrup]

UK

[hushed sonnet]

For better pallet shipping cost

[vivid stirrup]

Nuuuuu 😭

[chilly tartan]

It seems like their whole concept of waves is nonsense

[vivid stirrup]

My bag is literally disintergrating

[hushed sonnet]

I don’t put any stock in the order order. They’ve said they’re shipping in waves, so I consider the wave more indicative than individual orders

The waves were production orders

Not shipping orders

The time they expect that production wave to hit their warehouse

[vivid stirrup]

So I won't be in top 3000 then ;-;

[hushed sonnet]

Yeah. Orders within the wave were pretty much reserving a production product from that wave to be shipped

Just know you’ll get your wave 1 shipped before anyone gets their wave 2 shipped

I also expect wave 1 and wave 2 are on different vessels. But I doubt if they started receiving the containers from 2 before the last of 1 they’d ship to two before

[vivid stirrup]

I thought I'd be first since I was one of the people who ordered first ;-; sad now

[chilly tartan]

Lame

[vivid stirrup]

But got my amazon basic screwdriver being delivered tomorrow

[chilly tartan]

😎

[vivid stirrup]

Free screwdriver

Will last me till Halloween

[chilly tartan]

How free

[vivid stirrup]

Free

[hushed sonnet]

There’s still a good chance you’ll get yours shipped soon. I can just imagine that to make logistics work they want a decent number of the UK orders to ship at once in the wave to save on shipping still

[vivid stirrup]

I have an ifix it bag

1 it's not big enough lol

2 it's falling to bits

But have had it for 4ish years maybe 5

[hushed sonnet]

Interesting

[vivid stirrup]

Yeah it was good for abit

[hushed sonnet]

Their messenger

[vivid stirrup]

It did it's job, just need something better which is why I got ltt

Yeah

[hushed sonnet]

Personally, the seibertron messenger has done me well

I prefer messengers to backpacks

However if they do a slim backpack I may take it

[vivid stirrup]

The seam by the zip for the top and the front of the bad come apart and the top lid of the bag come apart at the zip in the right corner come apart

[hushed sonnet]

Big thing I don’t like about backpacks is how they sag and don’t retain shape

[vivid stirrup]

I do too tbh but ima change

[hushed sonnet]

I don’t buy much from ifixit aside from toolkits

I’ve always found that injuredgadgets appears to provide the best parts for me. Ifixit is like Amazon quality brand. You’re overcharged on parts

An iPad 6 digitizer costs $20 ifixit. Not $60

And even for many phone guides I’ve moved away from ifixit because some guides are only video rather than step by step. Moved on to SOSAV as every guide of theirs is a step by step. They of course don’t have such a wide library, however they have things ifixit doesn’t

[vivid stirrup]

I have the ifixit Pro tech toolkit, it's good but way too bulky to carry around unless I just leave it in my car

[hushed sonnet]

That’s why I also bought the Minnow kit and just replaced the driver with the one from the pro tech. So much more pocketable

I’m fooling myself if I think I’ll use all the bits in the pro tech on a regular basis

And especially with the LTT driver now. Precision bits in the minnow kit. Others in the LTT

[lime fossil]

I actually like the plastic handle a lot

4 bits storage + sim eject and if feeling brave 1 on the front

Sure it doesn't feel as nice as the metal once but when I'm just going about my day a JIS 1, 2 gamebits, a T8 and a Y00 gets quite a few things covered

[mint apex]

https://tenor.com/view/ltt-linus-linus-tehc-linus-tech-tips-poggersepic-gif-23430099

[hushed sonnet]

T8 will sit in the LTT now

[lime fossil]

That's kinda fair

Still hoping that they'll add the bits I just said to the 20mm lineup

The amount of N64 screws I take out on a regular basis... Is dumb.

Won't replace my vessel drivers for actual precision stuff but bulk quick work or when picking up another item having a multibit driver is huge

[vivid stirrup]

What's that for?

[peak sable]

Do we know yet if anymore backpack containers have come in yet?

[vivid stirrup]

Also apparently square bit is common in canada

[mint apex]

LTT Backpack

[vivid stirrup]

Where you from

[mint apex]

Czech

[timid elk]

Mine gets delivered tomorrow

[mint apex]

Really early Wave 1

[peak sable]

What range is your order ref?

I am 3304xx

[vivid stirrup]

Yeah order number

I'm 3296##

[mint apex]

326###

[timid elk]

13##

[peak halo]

3270## not that it matters

[timid elk]

It doesn’t really first wave get them around the same time

[peak halo]

Eight days before shipping estimate is breached

[obtuse flicker]

I’m 3298xx

[vivid stirrup]

ok so if frosty gets it before me i call bullshit

[peak halo]

328### orders have been shipped already, I’m already calling bullshit

@PNW_Geeky_Chef @nicklmg I was 329200 and mine shipped, you must've been just over 3,000. At least you should be in the next one :)

Twitter · Sep 10, 2022, 1:34 AM

[shy yoke]

So are the backpacks shipping now?

[vivid stirrup]

So he's literally 60 less order number than me but I ordered when there was 8800 left I don't understand that

I'm so confused now

[peak halo]

Bunch of containers still stuck at Vancouver port, “first” 3,000 confirmed shipped so far

[vivid stirrup]

I don't get this order system man

[vivid stirrup]

I watched it drop from 8000 to 4000

[candid fern]

I've had mine almost 2 weeks

[vivid stirrup]

So how am I not in the top 3000

[peak halo]

They did themselves a disservice by not listing the exact place within waves on individual orders, what with all the shipping delays

[vivid stirrup]

That means there is 6700 to go, which I ordered 2100 before that

[vivid stirrup]

Agreed since now im not in the top 3000 even though I was when I ordered

I was so happy to get so close to the top to then find out its random

[timid elk]

They didn’t know there was going to be delays

[candid fern]

The first order was 3264XX

You can do the math from there to figure out what number you are

[peak halo]

They did know, which is why they added a few weeks to the initial shipping estimate that they got

[vivid stirrup]

But that's not how it works tho,

When I ordered mine there was 8800+ left, so if I'm now in the bottom 6700 how have I been kicked down so far from the original order amount

I watched from 11:20pm uk drop from 8800 all the way down to 4000 at 1am

Then went to sleep and got up at 5am wave 1 was gone

[candid fern]

Your order # = your spot in line.

That's how it works.

I don't know what mindset you're in to think differently

I was within the top 300 people to place my order. So I got mine from the first container.

[peak halo]

And yet I didn’t

[sullen frost]

yup! Wave 1 Backpack here, mine is expected to arrive today, but I won't be flying home until the end of the week to check it out

[vivid stirrup]

Jc is 328### and hasn't had his shipped but the one on the twitter link he just shared is 329200

That's why I'm in a mindset to think differently

Mines alittle higher than the guy so I get why he got his before me, but it's more JC I'm thinking of

[candid fern]

Does he have a label created but not shipped?

[vivid stirrup]

Ha funny apple

[candid fern]

@peak halo

[vivid stirrup]

DAMN I was doing that

[lime fossil]

There may be other factors at play there such as region

[peak halo]

Yes, but only the WAN Hoodie shipped from that order. I have a label created for my TMB order but I’m expecting that to ship this week

[lime fossil]

When you're filling orders especially international it often makes sense to work on a target country or region at a time for various reasons

Such as justfillin out all the customs forms correctly etc

[candid fern]

Even region is funky.
I was order #3xx
My friend who lives less than 10 miles away from me was order #6xx

I got my bag a full week before him.

[vivid stirrup]

Wait haven't you got your shit that you ordered with the backpack yet?

[peak halo]

Backpacks shipping separately in their own box suggests they’re just slapping new labels on them as they come in (ETA regardless of where they’re shipping to)

[lime fossil]

Rather that jumping back and forth order to America order to Germany order to Madagascar order to New Zealand another to America oh one to japan

[peak halo]

Was only a WAN Hoodie and a sticker pack, both arrived

[lime fossil]

Just a cluster frick of ordering

[serene cargo]

It might be that address changes or other adjustments might affect order number without affecting order in queue. I'm just speculating.

[lime fossil]

Logistics is complicated there's a reason you can make good money in logistics

[vivid stirrup]

OK I was gonna say all my stuff with the backpack already came so I was worried

[candid fern]

I think you guys severely underestimate the amount of time it takes to create labels and ship 1500 backpacks.

[peak halo]

I’m still extremely worried about the backpack

[vivid stirrup]

I would be

[candid fern]

Don't worry about it. My friend freaked out for a whole week since I got mine before he did.

[peak halo]

When they’ve already moved on to the next 1,500?

[candid fern]

He got it 3 days ago.

[vivid stirrup]

Ages

It takes a month to get to me

[candid fern]

The website also says SHIPPED BY September 20th. Which means you're not getting it by that day, they're just estimating that it will leave their hands by that day

[vivid stirrup]

No I'm not saying that lol

[candid fern]

It's also an estimate. And Nick Light has said that there are delays

[vivid stirrup]

I don't expect it to ship immediately after buying it expecting a wait

I just don't know how I go from ordering with 8800 left to being 6700 or less in the list

[peak halo]

There are timescales in play for two of my orders 😞

[vivid stirrup]

Cuz I watched it drop from 8000 to 4000

[vivid stirrup]

Hope your ok

[candid fern]

Bc people were sitting and waiting...
For screwdriver I ordered within the first 5 minutes. I'm in the 3000s
I placed a second order to buy a screwdriver and ship it directly to my friend's house as a gift. It was less than 5 minutes after my first order. That order is in the 6000s.

[serene cargo]

I don't know how I was order 18000 for the Playdate and I'm still in Wave 5 of receiving my playdate sometime before the Sun burns out

[peak halo]

I can wait for the screwdriver but not for the backpack

[vivid stirrup]

So if I'm not in the next 1500 I don't get the ordering system if someone with 329200 shipped and mine 3296## hasn't

[lime fossil]

Generally it is not a good idea to backorder things you need quickly

[candid fern]

[peak halo]

That’s not where I’m coming from

[lime fossil]

Unless by quickly you just mean you want it as soon as available regardless of quicker alternatives

[potent ocean]

I think jc’s concern is “my place in the queue seems wrong. Did they forget about me or move me?”

Is that right?

[vivid stirrup]

I don't need it quickly tbh and I just got a free amazon basic screwdriver to cover me and get used to the bit storage and the rachet

[lime fossil]

For that opening a ticket is likely the best action

[peak halo]

This is something I ordered in mid-August with the full expection that I’d have to wait until late September to receive it (same with the TMB shirt), but there are other factors in play

[hushed sonnet]

This is what I’ve been saying. It’s likely for places such as the UK they’ll ship some pallets in bulk

[vivid stirrup]

This sentence makes me wanna cry

[near osprey]

regarding backpack size, I use a Precision 5750 (17" screen) for work and it fits fine so it's definitely both a combination of screen size and thickness for compatibility

[hushed sonnet]

So some people have received their order in Germany? I’m curious if we ran a poll for all German orders in wave one how many would say theirs has shipped

If anyone who’s from the UK has had theirs shipped

[vivid stirrup]

Dis is true

Why don't they put frankfurters in the packages,

[hushed sonnet]

Yes. But even so. Pallets sticking together going to individual countries from there makes sense in logistics rather than splitting pallets up

[vivid stirrup]

This is true aswell even though I don't want it to be

[lime fossil]

Would highly highly recommend folks not think of shipping like a line at a store

[hushed sonnet]

“This pallet goes to the UK” instead of “let’s find each package that goes to each country on the pallet and split them up.”

[lime fossil]

If you bought yours first yes it's higher on the list but that doesn't mean 100 people behind you aren't gonna get served first

Just like how just because you were seated first at a restaurant doesn't mean you'll get your food before another table

[hushed sonnet]

I can only Imagine they’re really trying their darndest to do shipping as efficiently as possible with such large volume packages

[vivid stirrup]

Oh I don't think it's a line at a store that's why the order numbers being shipped is out of order

But I ordered early hours of the day

So if mines shipped with wave 2 uk orders what would be the point ;-;

[hushed sonnet]

It will be shipped wave one. I’m sure there’s enough wave 1 I’m orders to fill a few pallets

[vivid stirrup]

Also I'm very patient and I understand that canadas port is FUBARED

[hushed sonnet]

It’s about efficient pallet space. Once you’ve got multiple pallets going on, you don’t need to worry about them as whole pallets will generally be separated regardless

[vivid stirrup]

I get it, just hate it

[peak halo]

I’m just very, very worried

[vivid stirrup]

Justice for jc 😂😂😂

That's not actually true

[peak halo]

If it ships much later than the original estimate I won’t be there to receive it

[vivid stirrup]

I've had a parcel that was a ghost once and cost me £100, the store wouldn't replace a package they "shipped" the delivery person said he never delivered a parcel for me, and PayPal wouldn't refund it cuz they claimed it was lost in shipping or something so not the companies fault

(Then a few month later the website I ordered off disappeared)

[serene cargo]

What's shipping cost for a ghost?

a 100?

[vivid stirrup]

Never got an answer, they stopped replying to me after awhile

[chilly tartan]

So I guess

my understanding is that the expectation was that the first 1500, then 3000, etc would get shipped, but this euro guy was in the top 3k and it didn't get shipped?

[vivid stirrup]

But yeah only time it's ever happened so yaknow

[chilly tartan]

I think so

so he was left out assuming he really was top 3k lmao

that blows

Do we know how many are in the port?

[hushed sonnet]

Probably all of wave 1

[chilly tartan]

Even if they were all unloaded right now, I doubt it

Since im wave 2, im mostly concerned with that

[hushed sonnet]

I assume it was all one one vessel. The issue is different containers

[chilly tartan]

Are the delays purely because of the port?

[hushed sonnet]

I assume wave 2 is shipping on a separate vessel

The waves are manufacturing waves, hence a wave being shipped on one vessel

[chilly tartan]

Right so

[hushed sonnet]

The issue is going through different pallets

[chilly tartan]

It sounds like every wave is going to be severely impacted

[hushed sonnet]

Sorry different containers. Not pallets

[chilly tartan]

But at the same time its not like a wave 1 delay is going to impact wave 2, unless the port stacks up multiple backpack boats at once

[hushed sonnet]

Exactly

The delay is individual containers being unloaded or loaded beneath others on the same ship. Unless they are behind on multiple ships

It’s a when they get to that container, vs when they get to that ship

And I really doubt wave two will start shipping before wave one is complete

[chilly tartan]

Yeah

Im just thinking how late wave 2 will be i got no idea

[fervent shadow]

I'm a native Vermonter, and I just emailed Darn Tough to make them aware of this potential collaboration 😄

https://youtu.be/YxME6bz0VZY?t=441

[chilly tartan]

Who would buy that

a glow in the dark screwdriver

talk about the biggest consumer double dip imaginable

[molten prawn]

It's pretty neat. If you were working in the dark it'd be cool, though I'd imagine few people are doing that.

[timid elk]

The problem is you can put it on the handle but not the shaft of it

[chilly tartan]

Like they expect to sell thousands of a driver that all the fanatical LTT cultists already bought?

just becos it glows o_O

[molten prawn]

They probably would. To the same people.

[chilly tartan]

How many ppl really got the money and purely want to support ltt that much

[sullen frost]

LTT STORE!!!!

[chilly tartan]

L T T

[molten prawn]

Probably more than you'd think. Either way I hope they don't make it, it's pretty dumb for the 1 in a million use cases it'd be useful.

[chilly tartan]

[sullen frost]

• happy backpack noises

backpack has happily arrived in Texas

(too bad I'm 1,000 km away at the moment lol)

good thing I shipped it there instead of where I'm currently at. it would have taken longer and I would have missed the window of opportunity to use it for a couple of weeks longer

[chilly tartan]

172 of 9700?

[molten prawn]

looks like a 5 to me, could be wrong though.

[chilly tartan]

no idea

[vivid stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/its2_22_22-gif-24971297

[sullen frost]

I hope it's 172, I remember ordering it during the first few hundred

before the email notifications went live

[molten prawn]

I don't think they order match like that (maybe they do an I'm completely wrong). I assume it's just the first 1500 orders got their bags somewhere from the first 1500 shipment.

[sullen frost]

maybe it is 572. didn't they have 1500 at first? maybe they randomly get a box

i'll let you all know how it feels once I fly home Thursday lol

[sullen frost]

[lime fossil]

Why does it need to have added use?

Some folks like glow in the dark so let em have it

Looks over at all the star wars fans...

[molten prawn]

Extra plastic waste? Idk. It just seems dumb. Obviously people should be able to buy whatever they want, but I'd rather they spent their time designing new cool products than perfecting a glow in the dark plastic for the driver.

[lime fossil]

Plastic waste from selecting a new color?

Pretty negligible compared to so many other things I'd expect

[molten prawn]

From all the people who would buy another driver in a year when it actually dropped. It was just an example of something negative about it. I dislike it because it would just be a pretty pointless product.

[lime fossil]

I too want more cool products like more bits

I wouldn't call that a waste in general. Probably a few extras but again likely negligible compared to so many other things going on

I'm more worried about all the waste that'll happen from cutting down bits

[raw cairn]

Anybody got that farm vid?

[molten prawn]

here you go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=845HUaWYSQA&ab_channel=ProjectFarm

[raw cairn]

Thanks been trying to find this. Difficult

[candid fern]

My box says 700 on it

I was within the first 300 easily

[sullen frost]

nice!

[candid fern]

Just kidding

My box said 5700

[obtuse flicker]

Do you recall your order number?

[molten prawn]

I guess they're not at all sorted, just stuck 1500 on the container.

[candid fern]

3266XX

[inner marsh]

My 3D printed solution to all of the LTT Screwdriver bits arrived. Gotta say, I'm impressed. I've never ordered a 3D printed product before.

More bits than I think I'll ever own, so I may cut out a section to place dessication packets.

[coarse sage]

yea thats a lot of bit storage

i got a tool organizer just like that from dewalt that does half bits and half sockets

[inner marsh]

The cases are only $6 on Amazon and they stack and latch on to each other so it doesn't feel like that much of a waste.

@coarse sage can you link it? The only ones I could find actually came with bits and sockets. I'm curious what yours looks like.

[coarse sage]

i can try to find it online, i get my dewalt stuff at the local hardware store, but i can for sure get a pic if it helps

[inner marsh]

Pic will help!

[coarse sage]

found it online, pictures dont really do it justice but i think youll be able to put it together

this is the top tray

bottom tray

now just dremel out the dewalt screwdriver space to fit the ltt one

[golden path]

Just got my backpack. Pretty good quality. Order 14xx.

[inner marsh]

Looks like something that came with the sockets and tools, whereas I've been trying to find storage solutions that are universal so I can use what I have, which is what lead me to the 3D print. HOWEVER, I might actually grab one of these you linked just to keep in my car or my bugout bag.

[coarse sage]

oh yea it was an all in one mate sorry i must have not understood that

i picked it up to put in my garage for my motorcycle for ease of use. much easier then running up and down the stairs constantly forgetting a tool

[chilly tartan]

Sit on it, for science

[golden path]

With all my stuff in it, right?

[chilly tartan]

Maybe half empty

also you got an airtag?

[coarse sage]

is stealing backpacks really that big of a thing?

[inner marsh]

I've had my bag stolen before, but I left it for just ten minutes in a room at a convention. I think it's about as common as any sort of theft.

[chilly tartan]

I was asking cos i wanna know if it falls out

[molten prawn]

Happened to me once on vacation. Either way if I'm putting my laptop in it I would feel slightly better with the airtag ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[golden path]

Nah. I don’t have one. I’ve been thinking about it though.

[coarse sage]

i dont leave my edc bag unattended for a long period of time but ive never once had my 511 bag stolen

[inner marsh]

The airtag pocket thing is tricky. If it is just a loose pocket, tight enough to keep it from falling out if turned upside down also means it's hard to get your fingers in to retrieve it. But if it's too loose, then if you turn it upside down maybe it can slip out. But then again you can always just buy airtag cases/covers and whatnot to thicken it up if need be.

[chilly tartan]

shoulda had a tab of velcro

[coarse sage]

it is cool they thought of some "secret" pocket for it though

[molten prawn]

Someone had suggested sewing it shut with the tag inside. Idk what you would do when the battery needs to be replaced, but it's an idea.

[coarse sage]

you can replace airtag batteries?

[molten prawn]

You have to. They're not rechargable.

Uses like a watch type battery. I think you twist them open.

[coarse sage]

im just surprised apple lets you replace them and not buy new ones

[molten prawn]

I was too lmao. Would be a very Apple thing to do.

[coarse sage]

i use the samsung version of airtags, they are also very nice

[chilly tartan]

Do they use watch batteries or smth?

[coarse sage]

yes

[chilly tartan]

thats kinda cool

[coarse sage]

2032 to be specific

[chilly tartan]

But yeah if you look at the video, the airtag just kinda falls in

[golden path]

So, didn’t sit on it but gave it a good hug. I’d say it kept its shape very well. But I wouldn’t sit on it to be honest.

[chilly tartan]

it doesnt look like it has any level of friction to hold it inside if even turns upside down

What do you think would happen if you sat on it then, hard creases across the bag?

[coarse sage]

depending on whats in my 511 bag i prob wouldnt sit on it either =\

[inner marsh]

Is it just me or does it seem like people are wanting more features from the LTT Backpack than backpacks made by Booq, Nomatic, and others, that cost 300 to 400 and have less features and look worse inside?

[chilly tartan]

Like wat

[inner marsh]

I mean, people can talk about whatever they want. I'm just kinda sitting back and watching every day people bringing up stuff about it that I never hear being talked about with these other expensive backpack companies.

Which is /fine/

I don't mind the talk. I'm not buying a bookbag either way. It just got me looking into bookbags (including some mentioned in this chat) that are similar or even more expensive.

i'm more of a messenger bag/map bag kinda guy, honestly. I've had a timbuk2 for like 15 years now.

[coarse sage]

the only thing i wish was done was that linus and team sent a few bags to some big edc review channels. just be interesting to see how the stress test would hold up, compared to "reputable" brands

[stable ridge]

This is the best option. Very easy to instal yourself as well.

[coarse sage]

id probably buy a bag if i was in the market for one and risk the "limited warranty". but my 511 bag been going strong for 5 years and no signs of issues

[chilly tartan]

Probably like a lot of other ppl, I didnt do a massive amount of research into other bags. But all other bags ppl recommend looks like they would not fit what i need to

[inner marsh]

I think, like with the screwdriver, the channels reached out to LTT. So I'd contact those EDC channels and inquire with them.

[coarse sage]

yea i wouldnt recommend 511 for a tech savvy edc bag guy

[inner marsh]

And one thing about other bags that cost as much or the same is you just get a little write up and a few pics, whereas LTT did a long video, hands on stuff, etc. Yet people are willing to buy the other backpacks that are 300 to 400 online with even less info. So when I see LTT being held to these super strict and exacting measures (which isn't necessarily /bad/) it just seems kinda weird that it's only with LTT that people are doing it and I never saw people doing such deep dives on any of the EDC subreddits/forums, etc., outside of just a couple questions.

So it just feels like we've gotten far more info from one company, but we want even MORE and yet with other companies it's just been, "Pretty pictures. Here's my money."

I guess it's just because LTT is a big youtube channel/group that people are more talkative?

i'm not against it, I just think it's bizzare
