[digital ravine]

ordered saturday morning

[sinful night]

yeah I ordered after I heard they sold half their inventory on the popup livestream

[languid socket]

highly anticipated goods after all
if u forget about it u can open ur mailbox to a nice surprise

[pine bay]

i check my email often so unfourchanately i probably wont be suprised. I'll get the shipment notification and be religiously staring at the tracking info as usual for the next 3-7 days

[languid socket]

many such cases, as they say

[foggy sonnet]

I have an app that sends me notifications, otherwise I try to forget about it for my sanity lol

Because otherwise I will also sit and refresh it for days on end

[errant tree]

cargo

[peak halo]

Didn’t even catch that the cargo pants have a default 30” inseam, I’m only slightly taller but 30” would show more than just ankle

[paper mirage]

Of course Linus would make a liar out to me and NOT bring it up on WANShow (I didn't catch all of after dark)..

[indigo rover]

linus is a hypocrite

[paper mirage]

I mean, everyone is to some degree.. gotta be more specific as to what the issue is for you though :p

[indigo rover]

his whole he hates preorders but does several preorders.

[paper mirage]

LTT does tend to shy away from preorders, 99% of stuff they sell just shows up one day, or is announced that its coming, but doesn't get sold till they have it.. Even the Precision Screwdriver, they have them in hand, so I like many others are wondering what the actual delay is.. Most of the times they do do a pre-order is something they want to see how many to order, or in the case of the scribedriver they sold out of twice in a row and wanted to give everyone a chance to order the third time lol

[indigo rover]

they did not have them in hand, the site side it was a backorder day one, he uses dumb wording to say its not a preorder when it was. page said backorder should ship by 30th.

if they had any on hand it was a very small amount.

[paper mirage]

They did actually have them in hand, they sold out in no time.. Linus actually talked about it on the livestream where he was selling them at LMG, and how they were going much faster than they even considered, especially the cases.. they expected I think it was 50% driver sales to also get the case, and they real numbers was >90%..

He actually talked lastnight about how they have swung from ordering too much of stuff and taking too long to sell, to now they seem to be ordering too little and its gone in no time and then everyones waiting for more..

[indigo rover]

i ordered hours before the live stream and with in 30 minutes of them going live and my order got the delay email. if they had not sold out during the livestream i should have had my dirver already

email came out 12:35pm and i had my order placed by 12:50pm and the live went live a bit later

[woeful rain]

hi

[cobalt jetty]

i have got to ask, is the LTT screw driver worth it?

cuz it’s worth a lot and if i buy it it’s not going to be treated as a novelty screwdriver like it’s priced

[paper mirage]

Thats a subjective decision, but the best thing I can give you to make an informed decision is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=845HUaWYSQA

[cobalt jetty]

thx

[paper mirage]

He also did a video with the Stubby too if thats your thing.. But very indepth.

[lime fossil]

I wouldn't say it's novelty priced

Its priced right in line with other screwdrivers in the market based on usage

[cobalt jetty]

well it’s twice the price of the screwdriver it’s based off of, and in the video that ryoken sent they both performed in the Q4 of tested screwdrivers.

regardless that video helped a lot and i think im going to get it

[lime fossil]

Is it a 1:1 copy of what it's based on?

No? Then it's pricing likely will differ

[cobalt jetty]

no it’s not that’s why i said based off of. but ur right the price isn’t really novelty but it’s still 46$ more than the megapro but i think im going to get it.

[paper mirage]

Ya its not novelty priced, but is it priced at a point where either the added features matter to you, or the name.

And a lot of people its gonna be the second, even if the claim the first..

Of course I own one, no regrets, it'll likely last me a lifetime which makes the price compleatly reasonable, but I don't use it enough that I can honestly say the extra smoothness on the ratchet and such is really justified..

[hollow pewter]

while mega pro is good

their price on canada amzn is pretty insane

oh nvm

their price dropped back to normal

it was 70 cad for a couple of months

that vs ltt about 90 cad id say ltt is very much worth it

as current price megapro does give you a lot for what it costs

note: megapro stores 12 full size bits in shank

which does make it noticebly heavier

and most weight are at tail end

ergonomics is still pretty good tho imo

[lime fossil]

Im pretty sad about the precision screwdriver though

was hoping to have them in hand in time for an event thats happening at the new estimated ship date

[nimble pewter]

The price of the driver it uses some patents of is irrelevant.
It's cheaper and better than the screwdriver it replaces

[hazy bramble]

LTT customer service pointed me to discord to see if anyone has a suggestion to this issue with the backpack luggage strap so here it goes:

I travel quite a bit for work and have loved the backpack for my last few trips since receiving it but I was wondering if there is a possibility of purchasing something a bit sturdier for the luggage slip? The Velcro comes off every single time when I slip it onto my luggage.
I'd be more than happy to purchase a stronger slip secured by buttons/snaps/zipper or do you have a suggestion of something I could purchase third party that might work? Coming from a Briggs and Riley bag and this is my only dislike of the backpack.

[nimble pewter]

I've not had problems with it, are you loading up the bag with lead or something? 💀
You could probably find a local clothes modification or whatever place to make you something

[hazy bramble]

I slip it onto my luggage and the Velcro just doesn't hold very well. It probably needs another inch or two of slack to reliably fit a luggage handle easily. If you compare it to professional luggage bags like my Briggs and Riley there is much more room to slip the bag on/off.
I have really been enjoying the backpack and this is my only issue thus far.

[fluid totem]

I've never regreted my decision and I use mine for actual diy work and would use it if I went back to trades

actually planning on getting some more because I want my OG to stay in its current state

[lime valley]

Well, small update on my thoughts on the offsite bag. Don't use a surface book in it. The pressure from having a few pockets in the load out was enough to Crack the glass on my display. Haven't had an issue eith other laptops but yeah...bummer

I don't even have that much in it but it's still so much pressure to put on anything other than a slim laptop

[lime fossil]

Thats a chonky power brick in there beyond what id expect a laptop bag to hold

[lime valley]

It's tiny slim Lenovo travel brick lol

If that can't fit I to a laptop bag what on earth can haha

[lime fossil]

generally nothing that thick

like most you cant keep a charger or mouse in

[lime fossil]

without going out of your way to find a super thin option

yeah thats super chonky

[lime valley]

It's the thickness of my thumb. Find me a thinner power adapter and I'll accept your point

[lime fossil]

https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Charger-Ultra-Slim-Compact-Pixelbook/dp/B0CD1NVW7R/

this is the one I use often these days

0.6in thick

[lime valley]

So, the solution to use a $100 laptop bag if you wish to be able to chaege your devices is to purchase a 3rd party power adapter for another $50?

[lime fossil]

ends up fairly comprable to my business card holder

thats just the one I use personally as its convenient and affordable for the task

[lime valley]

I understand your point, however can we agree that a $100 laptop bag that does not have the capacity to carry even a slimline travel adapter is flawed? And if the charger is the reason my display cracked, that makes it even more aggregious.

[lime fossil]

Idk. I'd say the expectation setting of the product listing is flawed at least

[viscid shell]

This is why I never, ever store anything that creates any kind of pressure point against my devices.

[viscid shell]

Flawed isn't the word I'd use - different bags are designed for different use-cases. I do agree it's frustrating to need a separate place to carry power adapters / other items OR have to purchase a slimmer adapter, but this issue is far from unique to the Offsite bag. Back when I worked electronics retail 15+ years ago I warned people about storing too much too close to the laptop compartment in $150-$300 "travel" backpacks. Many people thanked me for the warning; a few people were livid their device broke because of how tightly they packed it.

[lime valley]

I'd agree to that, but honestly even just having a few usbc/lightning cables feels uncomfortably tight

[viscid shell]

The way a cable is wrapped / bound up also makes a huge difference. If it's wrapped in such a way that it forms a cylindrical tube (like a pack of Lifesavers candy) it's going to create a lot of pressure, whereas if it's loosely coiled so as to be slimmer (less thick) but wider (horizontally) it won't put as much pressure on other devices in the bag. Tis how I pack an HDMI cable beside my laptop - loosely wrapped to reduce the pressure.

[lime valley]

I love my LTT backpack. And the offsite bag is the same great quality. I just feel it's suffering from an identity crisis. Where the backpack was meticulously crafted, the offsite had a everything in the kitchen sink approach, but the depth was missed along the way. This makes everything else in the design a mute point.

Like, I purchased it fully knowing it was a scaled back load out. But man, I wasn't expecting to hardly be able to use it as a stand alone bag.

[foggy sonnet]

Yeah, I wouldn’t really consider that egregious or excessive to be honest

Looks like a very reasonable size for a laptop adapter

Those Surface screens are damned fragile unfortunately

I’ve got a handful from work that were retired due to shattering

And it’s usually the same thing, pinched in a bag

[white whale]

Where is the solid metal screw driver. Is that still happening

[sonic wadi]

I think they said it was too expensive to produce and canceled it

[graceful marlin]

some ppl have already made cheap copies to be printed out at home even of the shorty

[nimble pewter]

Those are memes, no one is actually making those to use them

[nimble pewter]

No, Linus said they don't want to seem out of touch releasing an expensive meme product in the current economic situation (not his exact words, find it in the recent ean shows if you care enough)

We'll get it eventually

[hexed meteor]

damn that really sucks, i got an offsite bag too and now im worried about stuffing the bag too full

[elder patrol]

hi

[blissful shore]

Better to be informed than to have your electronics smashed in the bag by not knowing

[lime valley]

Honestly, it's impossible to not overstuff it. It's very limited in what it can actually hold. Let's say you use pouch on one side, you absolutely cannot use the pouch on the other side of the flap. If you use the storage compartment AND have a laptop in the bag, you will be hard pressed to fit anything into the front zipper compartment. My slim wallet is a stretch to put in there. between the 15 pouches and 6 sleeves I'd say that maybe less than half can be utilized at any given time. The quality is absolutely solid, but it's just not practical as a standalone bag. It's a stretch to even say it can replace my tech pouch in my backpack.

[boreal wasp]

IS there a canadian site for lttstore something about being from vancouver BC and paying in USD is kinda wack its going be like 55 bucks .......

or is there someone at ltt that i can meet up and pay cash for one lol

[nimble pewter]

No there isn't

And even if there was you'd still be paying 55 bucks

[quartz comet]

Oof, 30 inches? I'm 6'1" so that definitely wouldn't work out for me.

The problem is that it might not do well because of the 30 inch length limitation.

[quartz comet]

185cm btw

[candid fern]

If I remember correctly, at LTX, if you paid in Canadian cash, it was either tax free or you got a slight discount.

[little lark]

I thought you couldn’t pay Canadian prices. I thought it was only usd

[candid fern]

It was at LTX last year, I only remember becaues if you had cash you could skip the line

[foggy sonnet]

It is only USD, they did have CAD registers at LTX though

[candid fern]

and the line was HUGE

[lime fossil]

A lot of their costs (as in how they pay their manufacturers) are in USD not in cad even though in Canada. Keeping the same currency type throughout simplifies things

[mental onyx]

Did anyone have a problem with discount codes?
I can use them until I enter the Email or until I log in...

[proven mason]

hello

[drowsy hawk]

Yup. I tried that.

[mental onyx]

I made the order

And send a ticket to support

Will see what they will say

[fluid totem]

Can we agree that keeping an object with hard corners against something with a screen in tight quarters is like common sense level bad planning?

[stuck torrent]

Are you a mod of some sort somwhere such that that code would apply to you? Honey (and probably similar tools) has a tendency to spot and grab codes that only apply to a subset of people (e.g. mods or ltx goers), which is why you need to be logged in with an email associated with those things to use the code. There are very rarely general use non-expiring discount counts, and when there is they're usually plastered on the site or newsletter or wan show, so if something applied to you, you'd probably know about it.

[lime fossil]

Its also from 2023

Odds are low that it's still even really active

[cold leaf]

Just got my screwdriver. Is this normal? Seems to be a bit of a dent on the selector ring.

[sonic spindle]

No

[cold leaf]

rip. I think the bit storage box was shaken loose in shipping and kept hitting it in that location? It seems to line up with how it was arranged. And the bit box was loose inside when I opened it. Sent an email to support. I know its a small dent, but its not a cheap screwdriver.

[candid fern]

Not normal.

[lime fossil]

Looks more like a mould defect to me

[cold leaf]

Could be

[lime fossil]

Bad plastic melting / mixing / force or whatever, a million causes, but ultimately just plastic didn't get to where it needed to be in the mould

[cold leaf]

The ratchet is addicting

[cold leaf]

The scribedriver is nice. It's on the thin side, and I still maintain that they put the clip on the wrong side. But it's nice.

[sonic spindle]

Agreed, no way it happened in shipping. Or they dropped it before it was fully cured. Would definitely contact support

[lime fossil]

Personally I'd just use it. It's a tool. Cosmetic blemish isn't worth my time contacting support etc

[rocky wolf]

I agree

Its a nice product

[cold leaf]

If it was a £30 item sure. But this cost closer to £100 inc. shipping. I don't want to have to 'make do'.

[rocky wolf]

You just ordered the scribedriver?

No way it was £100 just for that, costed me only £35

[cold leaf]

Oh I was talking about the dent in the Screwdriver I mentioned earlier

[rocky wolf]

Oh alright

[lime fossil]

The thing is fully functional though? If there's no loss of use why is it "making do"?

[cold leaf]

You could say the same about a dent in a car door

[lime fossil]

If it was on the handle then it would impact function

A car is an aesthetic thing and not about function for most

(Although a dented panel does have many functional impacts to a car also)

[cold leaf]

In the end, I paid for an undamaged product.

[lime fossil]

Sure and I'm sure they'll make it right if it matters to you. But I'm surprised you value your time so little I guess

[cold leaf]

...

[sonic spindle]

If you could get $20 back for spending 30 seconds writing an email I would consider that worth it

[candid fern]

I'd agree with you for almost every other product than a screwdriver. It's a hardware tool, itll get beat up over time.
But if it means that much to you, you should reach out to support.

[viscid shell]

Ditto. I recently ordered the "Anker GanPrime 65W Charging Station" from Amazon for travel purposes. It arrived with a hairline crack running through the shiny acrylic top cover, likely because they ship it with the cord plugged into itself to create infinite power to take up less space.

• Could I have asked Anker or Amazon for a replacement? Sure.
• Is it worth my time? Not at all.
• Does the hairline crack in the shiny acrylic portion affect the functionality? Nope.
• Is the shiny acrylic part going to get scuffed over time with use? You bet your ass it will, damn manufacturers using stupid materials in their products.

[viscid shell]

That said, I do understand this sentiment, which is why contacting support is your best bet here. 🙂

[cold leaf]

It comes down to why you bought the product in the first place. Is it because you have a functional need that needs fulfilling? Sure a tiny crack might not sway you. But if I just wanted a screwdriver I could have bought any screwdriver for 1/5th the price, but I bought the LTT screwdriver because I wanted a 'premium' screwdriver, and as a token of support for the channel. It isnt solely because I have a screw that wont budge. In my case, its not a dealbreaker, but it isnt what I paid full price for.

[nimble pewter]

Their physical events in Canada use a seperate Shopify store that uses cad and the prices include tax.
There is never no tax, that would be illegal.
The difference is the lack of shipping cost.

[viscid shell]

https://tenor.com/view/write-that-down-taking-notes-school-universities-university-gif-17937210

"No tax you say? Write that down, write that down! And don't tell the CRA!"

[foggy sonnet]

It’s certainly about function for me and I wouldn’t take a car for full price with a dent on it

[foggy sonnet]

How long does it take to write an email?

[cold leaf]

Also, one thing. I saw in some videos early on that the two halves of the bit holder could rotate wrt eachother, and people had to line them up if they wanted bigger bits. It seems they updated the design so that its fixed in one position, aligned. (ofc the whole thing does still rotate)

[foggy sonnet]

It can be hard to turn for the first time

But it should turn

You turn the little star shaped piece

[lime fossil]

There's generally multiple emails. There's a comversation not a singular message

[sonic spindle]

Like I can understand not wanting to for Amazon when their only resolution is to RMA but you know LTT is going to offer cash back

[lime fossil]

There's functional impacts from a dented panel of a car

[foggy sonnet]

Probably take less time than it’s taking you to try to point all this out, I’m surprised you value YOUR time so little
/s

[lime fossil]

Possibly

[foggy sonnet]

Barely if it’s an insignificant dent

[lime fossil]

I'm getting mild entertainment value though

So there's that

[foggy sonnet]

But even if it was insignificant I still wouldn’t take it

[cold leaf]

Ah yes it does. It's a little stiff. The two orange parts

[foggy sonnet]

It should be pretty stiff, so it doesn’t turn on its own

[foggy sonnet]

There’s also entertainment value in looking at a nice undamaged premium screwdriver

[lime fossil]

That's interesting

I'll consider that while drinking my premium Miller lite

[sonic spindle]

Most of my LTT screwdrivers are just to look at lol

[candid fern]

I've dropped my screwdriver so many times. I like how scuffed it looks

[sonic spindle]

Not disagreeing there, the ones I actually use look battle scarred

[warped nacelle]

Where are the floatplane wallpapers?

[paper mirage]

They are, or were, on Reddit, on the ltt sub..

[nimble pewter]

The 64oz water bottle should be 69oz so we can have 2 litres

[viscid shell]

But also, it's 64oz so you can use it as a beer growler. Obviously.

[lime fossil]

Don't mind me. Just over here being sad about the precision screwdrivers should've already shippex

[peak halo]

Like that the updated ship date for precision (12th) was still sooner than the estimated ship date of the Community Guidelines t-shirt (20th). Pre-ordering Back-ordering is so much fun

[lime fossil]

Did they explain what the cause if delay was?

The email was vague as always

[peak halo]

All the email said was “shipment delay,” Port of Vancouver strikes again most likely

[lime fossil]

Yeah but I thought the drivers were in hand already so shipment delay is weird

Were they talking as though they all were in hand even though some were still at port?

[peak halo]

I ordered the driver+case combo, so it was probably the case that was still expected to arrive from China and clear customs in time

(But didn’t)

[foggy sonnet]

I just saw some comments of yours on Reddit if you use the same username over there

Small world

Uh-oh why is my name green

[candid fern]

It looks like they did have drivers in hand bc they sent some out. But they were probably waiting on a huge shipment that was supposed to arrive in a few days

But then the port of Vancouver struck and they now have to delay sending it out

[foggy sonnet]

I hadn’t thought of this but I wonder if that’s what it is, the cases

[lime fossil]

They also seemed to have the cases on hand though

[sonic spindle]

Yep, that is me

[foggy sonnet]

Ah okay, I wasn’t sure if anyone had said theirs shipped when they bought a case

[pine bay]

Yeah, there’s at least one person who has shown that they received theirs with the case

[lucid sorrel]

If anyone got the LTT ridge wallet and got the 40 percent off email I'd love that code if anyone didn't mind lololol I'd then of course post my 40 percent off code for someone else here

Pay it forward you know

[candid fern]

Is that released?

Oh I see it now

I guess I'm on the hunt for a 40% off code too

[lucid sorrel]

Lolololol any time someone buy something off ridge for the 1st time you get an email for 40 off next purchase ao people pass it down and let the code move to new people

[frail hornet]

Anyone know if the LTT Ridge Wallet is limited edition or going to be there for a while?

[lucid sorrel]

On the website it showed limited.

[pine bay]

their website says they have 4825 of the ltt wallets in stock rn

[candid fern]

Oh so it's a limited run

[lucid sorrel]

Then we have the upcoming Dbrand collab

[sinful night]

I'm looking for the code I got from ridge bc I got a wallet last year but I can't seem to find it in my inbox

if I do, I'll send it here and hopefully we can keep the chain going

nvm it expired over a year ago 😭

it seems to last for less than a month

[candid fern]

According to Reddit, the coupons last 72 hours

[sinful night]

interesting, I got my order on the 15th and it expired on the 6th of the next month

[candid fern]

Oh cool. Hopefully I can get a code before they sell out.

Someone just posted an EU code on Reddit

[candid fern]

I got a 40% off code. I tried to use it on the LTT wallet and it does not apply the discount.

The 40% off code works for other products but not the LTT ridge one

[left thorn]

I still don’t personally see the appeal of Ridge wallets

https://www.nomatic.com/cdn/shop/files/2832-WBLK_Wallet_BLACK_NOMATIC_ECOMM_LeatherTab_Angle.png

I use this $20 elastic wallet and I feel like I get all the same functionality

[candid fern]

https://ridge.com/products/ltt-circuit-board

Agree. But check this out lol

[left thorn]

The design of this one is the best yet I would agree

[sinful night]

is this rfid blocking?

[foggy sonnet]

It’s damnnnnn good looking

Not cheap tho

I need to think on that one

Not sure I can actually downsize my wallet THAT much

Oh yeah, my Luxe order shipped today!

For anyone waiting on that

I know there’s a couple of you in here

Code LINUS does at least get you 10% off + free shipping for the Ridge

Plus the 15% back, or 30% back if you choose store credit instead of cashback

[opal wadi]

Luxe backpacks are shipping

[nimble pewter]

https://www.lttstore.com/pages/luxe-sack-early-purchase found this on the store, I don't remember hearing anything about it

[candid fern]

$120 jesus lol

[nimble pewter]

Cheaper than I thought it'd be

[candid fern]

yes but also jesus

[foggy sonnet]

Yup got my notification!

[foggy sonnet]

It was mentioned in here a couple days ago

People who bought the Luxe received an email about it

[rocky wolf]

Yikes

Can’t fault LTT for quality though id give them that

[rocky wolf]

I wish they used titanium or carbon instead of cheap aluminium

[potent ocean]

The luxe backpack is over double the price of the regular backpack
The luxe tech sack is only double the price of the regular tech sack

Seems like it's actually not badly priced

[rocky wolf]

Wonder when the normal tech sack will come back in stock

[peak halo]

I do wish it was easier to change the shipping address on unfulfilled orders, at least where shipping+tax costs wouldn’t change

[reef tusk]

Here I am just wanting a standard tech sack

[rocky wolf]

Same

[left thorn]

No but that’s never been a problem for me - good point for Ridge

[open vapor]

need to do limited drops of real artisan leather products.

[nimble pewter]

You say this as if you could afford real leather versions

[open vapor]

I can. So can others. There is Canadian companies that make leather goods, that are not outrageously priced. https://www.roots.com/ca/en/leather-new-arrivals/

[nimble pewter]

You must've missed the multiple times on WAN where Linus has talked about how much the luxe bag would cost of it was real leather.
You can't compare stuff like that to this. Those are "normal" leather items, basic design, basic construction, relatively cheap to make.

They're also small

[open vapor]

Nope, I am aware, but I don't spend all my money on 9 different screwdrivers, so if there are expensive things I want to buy, I can. Because I have adult money.

Also, I rather have real leather than fake plastic/apple leather.

[nimble pewter]

Then be prepared to spend $1500+ lol

[open vapor]

cool whatever

[lime fossil]

I only spent my money on 8 precision screwdrivers for that reason, gotta save back a bit to buy the fancy things I want

Besides who needs 9?

[open vapor]

I dunno, and I don't care if they have a real need for them or not. If it makes them happy cool. Just like if buying a expensive bag makes people happy, cool. People can spend their money on whatever they want (except microtransactions in games those are dumb)

[lime fossil]

Yeah, I was more just teasing, since I did actually order 8 precision screwdrivers

And you said 9 screwdrivers, so just amused me

There is something to be said about not going too crazy on quality though for something used in public, lux seemed okay and maybe of interest but didn't want it sticking out more than the normal one does already

[open vapor]

You need 1 more!

[lime fossil]

I need my 8 first

I'm like zoidberg, I'm a savy consumer and will take 8

[normal shadow]

Questions: I ordered the regular backpack on the 9/23 at around 9am PST and still haven't got a tracking number. I'm US based (Nevada) What are the typical lead times for orders? I figured ordering when I did, it would be here before my next round of work flights, but it seems that may not happen.

[pine bay]

Did you have anything else other than the backpack in the order?

[normal shadow]

nope

[pine bay]

Sounds like you should contact support then

Their help center says to contact them if an order without back ordered items doesn’t ship within 72 hours

[normal shadow]

I did that, still no reply after 2 days.

[pine bay]

Did you get an automated reply?

[normal shadow]

Yup, and replied immediately that it is not back ordered.

[normal shadow]

Update for everyone: Looks like shop.com failed here. I confirmed the money was debited from my account, but I guess they didn't process it right on their end.

Thanks to the great LTT store team for finding that 😄

[pine bay]

Glad you got it figured out!

[sinful night]

ah I was about to say I ordered my backpack after you and got it a few days ago, hope everything goes smoothly from here!

[languid breach]

These pens are amazing!

[dark roost]

why

[languid breach]

Why are the Scribedrivers amazing? Because they are weighted well, have a nice balance, use a sensible ink cartridge standard, and the bolt action is really smooth.

[potent ocean]

I want one but I don't write anymore

[chilly tartan]

dang that looks pretty sick actually

[dark roost]

too bad it doesn't ship to Iran

I would buy It if it would ship to my country

[reef tusk]

My shirt and pen came yesterday while i was at a conference. Got to see them today.

That was a mistake ordering them.... I need to spend more money getting more shirts finding shirts that don't annoy me texture wise and are the right length is hard

[reef tusk]

i got mine today, paid pretty much double because of the good o' NZ to USD conversion and its my top pen.

[dark roost]

cool

Had these sweats for about 2 years, just noticed the zipper pocket is separating... Anyone have any suggestions on how to repair it?

[languid socket]

fabric glue mayhaps, since you can put it in the machine with the rest of your laundry (normal glues cant be washed)

[quartz comet]

If these are from LTT, I would suggest reaching out to support about it!

https://www.lttstore.com/pages/contact-us

Just saw someone else with an LTT Backpack for the first time

By the way - as an update on my backpack situation, I did get the new LTT Backpack delivered to be on October 1st, and I got the one with the new titanium carabiners!

[languid socket]

what is that material around the pocket anyway
the peeling makes me think it's some kind of pleather

if it's not a pleather, i think you could try flipping that part back and sewing it right along where it attaches originally to secure it back down
but if it is a pleather (or if you just dont want to sew), i would personally use fabric glue so im not poking more holes into it

[vestal hornet]

I did, support told me to query their discord or forums 😂

[vestal hornet]

I think it's like a plastic/PVC material, it seemed to be just hot pressed together, not sewed. So I didn't wanna sew it cause it seems to thin to hold

[languid socket]

makes sense
if it is indeed hot pressed and not glued, you
could try ironing it
make sure you have another piece of fabric in between this thing and your iron just in case

[vestal hornet]

I did think about that, was just curious if anyone had other ideas

I have 4 pairs all roughly 2 years old and this is the only one that actually separated... Worst case scenario they're stay at home only sweats 😂

[languid socket]

what temp are you running your washing machine at when you do laundry btw? i wonder if washing with warm or even hot water speeds up the separation

[hoary hill]

Anyone know quicker way to get hold of support to add something to my order? I sent a support email 1 hour after purchase now I have an email saying my order has been dispatch (label created)

[languid socket]

if the label's been made it might be too late
since they've packed it up and ready to hand off to the courier

[quartz comet]

Yikes, that's not very inspiring

I would think that they'd replace it for you

Or at least give a refund, or worst case scenario I'd think they'd give at least a partial refund

[paper mirage]

Given how fast LMG goes through products they probably don't have the pants anymore.. also.. 2 year old for clothing, depending on how you use it, its a long time lol

[quartz comet]

2 years isn't long for clothing that costs 3x as much as regular clothing

[vestal hornet]

Well the last year I had my house I apparently had the hot and cold water lines mixed on the washing machine, so basically hot as hell for at least 6 months. Prior to that just warm

[vestal hornet]

I was wondering if they would but they are 2 years old and I got them on a black Friday sale so I was just hoping for a way to patch them

[quartz comet]

The pants being 2 years old isn't a justification for a defect. Products should be lasting more than 2 years.

This is what gets me so annoyed with consumerism. It's genuinely giving people this mindset of having to buy everything super often instead of having something that lasts.

[vestal hornet]

I mean I'm very much a keep it past its lifespan kind of person, but clothes, idk I hate shopping for them and the $10 t shirts at Kohl's or wherever get holes in them after like 6 months, so a $20 pair of sweats that lasted 2 years of washing at least once a week beat my expectations. If it was my screwdriver or backpack then yeah I'd be pissed

My fav feature of the backpack was the double layer protection on the bottom, cause it shows they have a mindset of durability. I was sad when it was produced without it, but I'll probably never wear through it anyways

[viscid shell]

If it's the same "water resistant" style of zippers found on the Short Circut hoodie, you could try https://www.gearaid.com/collections/aquaseal adhesives. They're what people use to repair wetsuits, tent seams, and shoe soles that are separating.

[vestal hornet]

Thanks!

[nimble pewter]

Rubber, it's a water resistant zip

[fair jay]

hi all, just wondering has anyone had any contact with support recently? ive been trying to get through to them after they sent out the delayed shipping notice on the precision last week....but no response.

[foggy sonnet]

Unfortunately once it’s marked shipped it’s too late for them to change it, hopefully they can offer you another solution that works when they do get back to you. No faster way to get in touch with them.

[foggy sonnet]

Have you gotten the auto-response?

[fair jay]

Yeah I did.

It said allow 24-48 hours on Friday night...fair enough. I tihnk maybe it was a holiday Monday? But yeah still nothing 😦

[foggy sonnet]

It was a holiday Monday, not sure whether LMG was off for it, but in any case, yeah it does seem like it’s taking longer than it should

Nothing in spam?

[fair jay]

Yeah nothing in spam, nothing in quarantine. Tried opening another ticket, but still nothing. It was sorta a ticket that was a little timely, but oh well. I just don't know how to contact them at this point

[foggy sonnet]

Hopefully someone from the team sees your message here and can get eyes on it, or if they are just backed up, hopefully you’ll just get a response soon

[nimble pewter]

If there's a notice like that and you contact support after it, I'd say to expect a longer than normal response time since a lot of others have probably done the same thing

[lime fossil]

What are you hoping to get from your ticket though? They're delayed, it sucks, but it is what it is

[fair jay]

I had bundled a backpack with the screwdrivers, and wanted to unbundle to ship the backpack earlier for a trip. But yeah it's probably too late to reach me for when I need it now -- shipping takes a while to Australia.

[nimble pewter]

Well considering it's already shipped, I doubt splitting them would've sped anything up

[fair jay]

Hasn't shipped for me

Currently that's the problem, screwdriver is delaying the shipment. Idk, I did the calculations based on what the site said - Sept 30. Email went out to say delayed and to contact if its a problem. Did that, asked to split and pay double shipping, but yeah nothing for nearly a week. Is what it is I guess

Was just wondering if anyone has heard anything from support over the past week, because I cant tell if i'm just not receiving responses

[nimble pewter]

Oops, confused you with the other person

[pseudo lynx]

😭 but I want one (just not that bad)

[cold leaf]

Nice, support refunded me the screwdriver. W Support.

[pine bay]

yeah, ill probably order 2 (so one can be in the dishwasher while im using the other one), but not until i have another reason to order something. gotta love shipping lol

feel really bad for people not in NA

[pine bay]

New
https://www.lttstore.com/products/long-sleeve-polo-shirt

[lilac flare]

I feel like if you have any gut it's going to draw attention to it, and I am not trying to draw additional attention to my gut.

Like, it bunches up just over the belt area if it's just a little tight

If I was a tucker it wouldn't be a big deal, but I'm an untucker

[stuck torrent]

Cool. I'll buy this my next LTT purchase assuming it's not sold out in my size by then, which might not be until black friday. The pink-ish flair does add some fun to it.

[main cloak]

LTT store products should come with a little note with a script for explaining to the normies how this is technically youtuber merch, but not really.

[frail hornet]

Honestly, I find that it focuses less on being YouTuber merch, but rather being stuff that you could use in everyday life

Which is honestly a better business model

Thats the only reason why I buy ltt merch.

It supports LTT while giving me not in your face LTT branding

[frail hornet]

HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN

[pine bay]

that size has been sold out since september 20th

[frail hornet]

What happens now? Because like... isn't Mystery T-Shirt just leftover stock 😭

[pine bay]

probably will get a restock the next time they discontinue a shirt

[frail hornet]

Welp, guess that means no more point in me buying it 😭

There goes the fun part of having a mystery bag with every order

[pine bay]

there are still other mystery products

[red mason]

Just got my Luxe Backpack. I'm not saying a $600 bag isn't expensive....but this certainly FEELS like a $600 bag. Bravo LTT.

Whatever you guys did to strengthen the bottom is quite impressive.

The added canvas bag it came in with the whale logo was a nice touch.

[frail hornet]

Wouldn't want to buy a product I wouldn't use.

That would just result in moer waste for the enviornment

[candid fern]

Picture?

[quartz comet]

Can we please get pictures if you're willing to send them?

[quartz comet]

the problem is the $9.99 shipping

Wait though, why are taxes like 50% of the order? Is your shipping being taxed too?

[nimble pewter]

Yes, shipping is taxed too.

That's how taxes work

[brittle trail]

can anyone tellme their opinions on the LTT screwdriver?? I'm considering purchasing it for my first build but its extremely $$$

[nimble pewter]

Absolutely worth the money

I own the regular and the stubby

And have ordered the precision

[brittle trail]

@nimble pewter OK thanks

[cold leaf]

It's a really good screwdriver. Buy it and keep it forever.

[foggy sonnet]

They put our bags in a bag?

[foggy sonnet]

Mine should be here next week if they or anyone else don’t get to it by then

Tuesday-Wednesday most likely

[minor slate]

will the dispatch by october 12th be for all people that got the email saying so? as my original email said by october 30th but I got the email that some people got for the delay?

(this is for the precision screwdriver bundle)

if u answer me if u could @ me (I dont regularly check discord but if I get a ping that would help)

[opal wadi]

Man jealuous of the Luxe backpack deliveries. My tracking still says its heading for a DHL processing center 😭

[red mason]

My office is a mess right now but I managed to snag a few pics with a little extra bonus merch included…. 😉 Also included a video showing the absolute MONSTER of a bottom.

[candid fern]

Oh wow one of the people who got the whale PC

From LTX

[left thorn]

I’m really loving my LTT backpack

Wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I have

Though I’m thinking of picking up a tech sack to help with how many cables I carry

[peak halo]

I like that the Whale PC is just hanging out on the floor by a doorway

[left thorn]

I feel like my cables always end up a mess

[cold leaf]

I use one of these https://www.thule.com/en-gb/organizers/electronic-organizers/thule-subterra-powershuttle-medium-_-3205040

Really good for cables

[sonic spindle]

lmao, using your Whale PC as a stand

Looks nice though

[cold hemlock]

Is the $50 bidet gone for good?

The $500 one is useless, because if I spend that much my butthole would clench so hard that no poop would come out.

[stuck torrent]

Still available on ludwigs site, unclear about future on lttstore.

[cold hemlock]

What's site is that?

[stuck torrent]

Bidet.gg

[lime valley]

Anyone else backpack no longer holding it's shape? It's kind of lost all of its structure which was one of the selling points back in the day was that it could stand on its own. If i don't h ave it loaded out to the max it kinda of just goes....flaccid and flat lol

[peak halo]

Same https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/15b58db/ltt_backpack_stands_on_its_own_claim_removed_from/

[lime valley]

ahhh I totally missed this somehow. I was just looking at my bag after taking my legion go case out of it and it sunk and I was like yeah this is actually starting to bug me now.

Still, I love the bag. I can't bring myself to use any other bag anymore.

[lime fossil]

I wouldn't buy it "for your first build" its nothing special in that regard and you should likely use a screwdriver from your family or friends kit and put that money towards a better PC. The screwdriver is nice but has nothing to do with a first buily

[foggy sonnet]

Yes it is

[left flicker]

are ridge wallets actually worth it?

i need a new wallet

do they come in green

[foggy sonnet]

This is my first so TBD for me

[foggy sonnet]

Ridge wallets in general do but not this collab

[left flicker]

(me want green ltt screwdriver back in store)

[foggy sonnet]

I don’t know if they’re still doing it, but I know several people who bought the bag before that feature was removed from the listing were able to get one warranty replacement with the understanding it would be the only replacement for that issue, and it would eventually reoccur

But definitely only if it was purchased while it was still advertised that way

[sinful night]

I was asking about the $20 in particular, I know ridge wallets are rfid blocking, which is the point I was making

[foggy sonnet]

Ah I see, I didn’t notice it was a reply

[left flicker]

damn the voodoo green looks sharp

this might actually be one of the first youtber sponsors i buy

[foggy sonnet]

That does look pretty sweet, I’m a fan of green too

[left flicker]

ik this is lttstore chat but daymm

LINUS oFFER MORE GREEN STUFF

[foggy sonnet]

I will say though, and of course it’s just my opinion, but having tried key organizers of that style, they’re so clunky they’re not really worth it

[left flicker]

i have allot of keys so it probably weouldnt be good for me

also the green is on sale for $69 usd

wallet only

green is seriously under represented on so many products

and when it is offered it usually sucks

that actually looks good

same with the green ltt screwdriver

BRING IT BACK

[vestal hornet]

also with the elastic wallets and elastic on the ridge wallet (I've had a ridge for about 4 years now)... I seem to chew through the elastic, i've had the ridge warranty the elastic money holder 3 times, which speaks to their lifetime warranty... But its probably just me and whatever i do that chews it up

[sinful night]

I personally use the airtag clip as it lets me scan my public transport card by just sliding it past the metal parts of the wallet (plus the benefit of having an airtag on my wallet) but that's fair, the elastic can probably get torn over time

[peak halo]

"Sure you can use cash with it" (shows a picture of a bundle of notes strapped to the thing totally ignoring coins)

[frail hornet]

I wonder if I got the last mystery tshirt lmao

[pine bay]

when did you order?

because it looks like the last xxl mystery t-shirt was sold somewhere between 11am and 2pm on september 24th

[frail hornet]

This Definitely ain't the last mystery shirt then lmao.

[pine bay]

when did you order it?

[glacial olive]

i don't remember does the LTT backpack have a special slot for an apple pencil? i think the poor padding of my current backpack (+ my lack of care) broke my apple pencil

also any news about stealth backpack?

[lunar compass]

If you’re talking about the smaller backpack they’ve been teasing I don’t think there’s been any updates.

As for your other question, unfortunately not. You could probably find a place for it in one of the side pockets.

[left flicker]

this is why i would go with the clip

i carry cash alot so it would make sens for me

[vestal hornet]

I had the money clip on the ridge wallet sheer through the metal RFID blocking plate and fall out of the wallet... More then once

[left flicker]

oof

[vestal hornet]

But that's cause I used it to hook onto my pocket

[left flicker]

yeah that would do it

[vestal hornet]

So don't do that lol

They warrantied that like 3 times before I gave up on it

[left flicker]

well its a money clip not a belt clip

[vestal hornet]

Well I didn't want it sliding in my pocket! Lol

Each time they sent me a new money clip and elastic band so I have lots of extras now

[left flicker]

my chain wallet my dad got in 1990 and then i got when he passed is wore out

its an old harley leather wallet

its also big and bulky

[vestal hornet]

Yeah that's why I switches, went from leather that felt good but wasn't going my ass any favors to the ridge. I love it though, wouldn't go back and almost bought a 2nd one but decided I didn't need it

[sinful night]

no apple pencil pocket and there aren’t many pockets that fit it specifically, I would recommend just putting it next to your ipad or magnetically attaching it to your ipad if you have a gen 2 and a compatible ipad

I think you may have confused it with the hidden airtag pocket?

[pseudo lynx]

Yeah well that's all I can pick. Either get a spout lid for that price (including shipping and tax) or just live with what i've got.

If they had a Europe Wearhouse I would order so much more often.

[left flicker]

is $500 too much for a pentiumIII

[viscid shell]

You tell me. (aka yes, $500 is absolutely too much.) https://www.ebay.ca/itm/226379673701

[left flicker]

damn

good thing i didnt buy it

[opal wadi]

Having owned two ridge wallets now (not because one failed but because I just wanted a different style) I can say dont buy colored ones or ones with any coating that will scratch off. Just get a plain metal one or a bare carbon one. That green will be green with grey scratches all over it in no time.

[opal wadi]

I love mine.

[foggy sonnet]

It definitely works for some, otherwise they wouldn’t still be sellin ‘em

[glacial olive]

ridge wallets are such a first world and american thing

completely unusable if you have coins

[foggy sonnet]

I barely carry cash at all

[glacial olive]

ik but sometimes it's just nice to have it

especially when you are in really backwards places like germany where most small businesses don't take any electronic payment of any kind

[foggy sonnet]

I’m pretty ok with the trend of things becoming cashless, paper money and coins are a chore and can get lost/stolen

If I lose my debit card, the money’s safe

[viscid shell]

I carry cash because you never know when a national ISP will have an oopsie doodle. Super embarrassing to see the sheer number of business, let alone financial institutions, that only have ONE network connection.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-62174477

[foggy sonnet]

Eh if I’m inconvenienced even once a decade because of something like that it’s worth it to me not to have the hassle

Most big retailers have protocols for that too because they don’t want to lose money

They’ll capture transactions offline to process later (obviously there are limits so they can’t lose too much)

[glacial olive]

if i had a nickel for every time a large economy was damaged by every business having a single point of failure i would have two nickels

which is not a lot but it's weird that it happened twice and nobody learned anything

[viscid shell]

Mhm, big retailers often have a local transaction processing server in their front office that can operate in "offline" mode, uploading the transactions when the connection is restored. I don't care about big retailers - it's the mom-and-pop to medium-large businesses that suffer the most during an outage.

[glacial olive]

small shops in my home region now have both sumup POS and iphones with tap to pay just in case the sumup shits itself

it's funny because it was the last place i ever expected to digitalize payments since not making receipts to avoid taxes is a massive thing in my country

[foggy sonnet]

I saw someone use the native tap to pay on the iPhone for the first time this weekend

[viscid shell]

The above Rogers outage went well beyond POS providers - Interac (Canadian eTransfer service) was down. It was basically the equivalent of many banks' physical doors closing and locking on customers without warning.

[glacial olive]

oh i see

[viscid shell]

My comment above aside, I too am noticing many businesses ditching the traditional Monderis / Verifone / Ingenico old school payment terminals in favor of Square / Clover / ShopifyPOS / Toast / etc. - There's still a cost associated of course, but now they get a complete inventory management system + online store options included... whereas old school payment terminals provided next to nothing beyond collecting money.

[glacial olive]

i remember looking into the inventory management part to see if it was possible to make a service that somehow looked at it through some API and sent customers inventory data to see which stores had something they needed before heading out

like making a virtual shopping basket and showing which stores had what was needed

ofc most supermarkets do that now and even deliver you groceries but i was more interested in small shops

[peak halo]

The July 19th Crowdstrike SNAFU took out the payment system at my local bulk buy place, so I had to pay for my shopping with cash that day

So a wallet without coin storage is of no use to me

[onyx drum]

Hardly. They will have to remove paper money or outright refuse to take it. Unless inflation skyrockets i dont see this becoming an issue. Also vote blue.

Why is LTT only cattering to USA iis beyond me. Better go the belroy route. They have everything.

[onyx drum]

Thing is the goverment at least around here has not cracked down on online payments. So stuff is bassically tax free for now. But hopefully somebody wises up soon bc they are loosing billions in tax. Once they wise up i see this methods decreasing.

[lime fossil]

Or just more rural places or where card takes a while to process. Also have you never had a bank decline a transaction because they think the card was stolen? Cash is still super convenient in many instances

[lime fossil]

What gives you that impression?

[glacial olive]

too expensive to do anything else

LTTstore needs to maintain bigger margins than other merch

[foggy sonnet]

The US is by far their largest demographic, but that’s not to say they don’t at least try to do right by everyone else

[limber laurel]

or an in-land hurricane taking out all of your infrastructure within 100 miles

my brother was caught up in the Asheville disaster area, he quickly learned why only having ~$30 cash on hand is problematic

[foggy sonnet]

I do have some emergency cash at home

[lime fossil]

You're assuming that the system doesn't lose your money though

[foggy sonnet]

If that happens we’ve got bigger problems

[lime fossil]

Physical things someone has to come get it

Digital, and its not locally stored even, controlling site can snap it out if existence whenever they feel like it

Most common example is transactions getting denied for being suspicious

At that point your money is effectively zero and useless for the moment

[foggy sonnet]

My bank luckily does not make it difficult to get around that

They send an immediate text and if I respond saying it was legitimate, it will go through on the second try

[lime fossil]

That's good at least

But should show why relying exclusively on digital payments is a bad idea

[foggy sonnet]

It works for me, the benefit outweighs the potential inconvenience

Essentially the only couple of situations where I make sure I have cash on me ahead of time are any sort of event/convention/concert or the like, or going out of the country

Otherwise, it has yet to burn me, and I’ve always found a solution if a problem occurred

[potent ocean]

one can also rely on multiple providers for a digital payment, it doesn't solve every possible problem, but it can help

[lime fossil]

I'd compare it to data backup policies. Having more than 1 method is best

Having at least 2 different formats/ media is a good idea

So having 2 digital payment methods is good, having 2 digital and also taking a different format, cash, that's great

[potent ocean]

it all depends on what the bad thing that happens if the payment fails.
If I lose my data, that's a serious problem.

If I can't buy my groceries right now, that's not really a problem, I can come back later

[lime fossil]

Although I now realize we are in merch, so mandatory, what's the news on the precision screwdriver?

[potent ocean]

they haven't shipped mine yet

[lime fossil]

Darn. Really hope to get mine soon

[sinful night]

same

[foggy sonnet]

Yeah, minor inconvenience, but not catastrophic

I’m very diligent with my backups, having lost data a couple of times before I understood it

[candid fern]

Sadly still waiting for mine. They did say Oct 12th

[minor slate]

will the dispatch by october 12th be for all people that got the email saying so? as my original email said by october 30th but I got the email that some people got for the delay?

(this is for the precision screwdriver bundle)

I just wanna know if I'll be contacting support after that date if I don't hear anything

[stuck torrent]

It does slightly amuse me that data (which can range in importance but isn't essential to life) is being described as more important than food (which is). Obviously I get the intent and outages are likely temporary, and people shouldnt be waiting until they have literally no food left to get groceries, but I found it amusing.

[lime fossil]

The email was about a delay, not an acceleration, so expect yours to be 30th but less optimistic about that than when you placed your order. Is how I'd read it

[minor slate]

Alright

[lime fossil]

Also consider that its october 7th and many of us who were told September still haven't received tracking.. I'm worried about a follow up delay email ngl

[minor slate]

Misleading emails then.

That's a problem

[pine bay]

what misleading about the delay emails? They knew they wouldnt be able to reach the original shipping estimate, so they notified people who were effected with a new estimate. Seems reasonable to me

[sinful night]

the problem isn’t informing those who should’ve been informed, it’s informing those who shouldn’t have been

if the october 30th people got the same exact email, it’s extremely confusing as the wording says “your current pending order containing a Precision Bit Set + Case is now expected to be fulfilled by October 12th.”

[pine bay]

did the october 30th people get the same email?

[sinful night]

that’s what it seems like happened

[pine bay]

oh i see. i misread this message initially

[sinful night]

kaptian says they got the email despite being in the oct 30 group

yeah

[pine bay]

my bad. for some reason i read that as saying they didnt get the email 😄

[sinful night]

all good, at least the confusion is cleared up

it’s rather unfortunate that the delay notification email was sent out to the people in the oct 30 batch

[foggy sonnet]

Haha yeah I can definitely see the humor in that

That’s exactly my thinking, outages are (hopefully) temporary, and if they’re long enough that I can’t get enough to eat, even from family/friends, we’ve got much much bigger problems

If I lose a hard drive and don’t have a backup, that’s gone forever (potentially)

I’ve had good luck and saved most of the drives I’ve ever had that failed

But I do have an SSD out of a NAS from a few years ago that failed in a way it’s not readable, and have lost some important to me data in other ways. It stings.

[minor slate]

nah I am the silly one here I misunderstood the messages about the people who were told september not receiving tracking and my brain didnt click about the fact they would've got the delay email so I was in the wrong here lol

the people like me who shouldn't have gotten the delay email is confusing but not that misleading but yeah

[green holly]

FWIW I was originally Oct 30 and got a different email (same day) with a November 2nd estimate.

[worn zephyr]

LMG although being a Canadian company, it is cheaper for me to send the goods to US, rather than Canada. Mfw

[reef tusk]

its to do with the shipping arrangements they have, they can't make it any cheaper ATM

it cost me around $45 shipping and tax to do my shirt and pen local currency. to NZ

[nimble pewter]

Canadian post moment

[worn zephyr]

I’m using a reshipper to India to avoid customs. Was just seeing which address was cheaper. Funny that US is cheaper than Canada.

[reef tusk]

ah

[peak halo]

I bet the LTT Wallet project was killed because no-one could agree on the one-size-fits-all approach

[minor slate]

Same here international is pain

Shipping is expensive as well as conversion rate making stuff double the price nearly

[reef tusk]

Yeah that’s why I’m not a regular and by what Linus says on WAN he’s fine with it

He doesn’t want ltt merch to overtake other more important stuff financially

[minor slate]

Well it's not like he can fix the conversion rate stuff but shipping could be fixed in the far future with distribution across different areas

[reef tusk]

Ummm actually they looked into that and it costs more long term

That means paying taxes in other countries etc

[nimble pewter]

Yeah... That only looks cheaper in the surface level

[minor slate]

Ah ok

[nimble pewter]

Unless you're doing things at an absolutely massive scale, it won't save any money, and may even cost more

Import costs still have to be paid, so does sales tax, and the shipping to those different logistics locations

Then there is of course the cost of running those locations

And then the extra accounting costs

[foggy sonnet]

That answers that

[foggy sonnet]

I’m sad about it, the Ridge collab looks cool but I think I still prefer a more typical wallet

And I’d love a wallet that’s built to last and is reasonably priced (and bonus if it looks techy in some way)

[lime fossil]

Their communications of delays is pretty poor I think, only real gripe I have

Waiting till the last day until you provide a new timeframe is an inapropriate way to handle delay notices.
Precisions were stated as Monday the 30th, notice of the delay didn't come till that Friday

We have only 3 full business days left for the new timeframe. Now is probably the right time to update us on if we are likely slipping again

[peak halo]

Ordered early September (kinda) knowing my order would ship by 12 days from now, but I leave the address for two months as of November 6th so it’ll be interesting to see if the order arrives in time

[candid fern]

I got the ridge wallet

Im going to return it

Pretty disappointed compared to the wallet I have

I have a Secrid wallet and it gives me super easy access to my cards

Ridge isn't even a wallet, it's just a card holder

[foggy sonnet]

Yeah, I mean I guess their whole shtick is minimizing the amount of stuff you carry, but it really doesn’t seem ideal

[candid fern]

I have like 6 credit cards that I use for specific purchases (gas, food, groceries, online purchases, etc)

If you have one card that you use for every purchase , ridge might be good but I think it's kind of dumb

To access a card you have to pull all of your cards out, fan through them, and then pull the one you want

[sinful night]

idk for me I never need to carry cash, the few cases I do don’t make it worth it for me but I live in a place where I only need to carry cards so it’s good for me

[foggy sonnet]

My wallet is chock full of cards

[sinful night]

that’s a fair point if you have multiple cards you need access to frequently

I usually only have 1 or 2 that I use frequently so I can access them easily, then if I need to access one of the others, it’s not too much of a hassle imo

[foggy sonnet]

I think I could probably get away with cutting down to 3-4 cards total, not including my ID which I keep in a separate holder anyway

But it’d be hard for me to let go of everything, and it would instantly get on my nerves the one time I could’ve used one of the cards I’d be giving up carrying

[sinful night]

damn how many cards do you have

[candid fern]

On me right now I have 10 cards probably

[lime fossil]

Drivers license, health insurance card, primary debit, primary credit, AAA membership, Costco/sams club/bjs membership... They start adding up fast

[candid fern]

^

[foggy sonnet]

I don’t think I should list all of mine it’s probably too much lol

[sinful night]

I have 9 in my ridge, 2 of which are clipped on the airtag “money clip”

[lime fossil]

Just checked, my cheap leather wllet has 14 cards in it and cash

[sinful night]

the two on the money clip are my school id which lets me tap on buses and my actual id

[lime fossil]

One of those cards is actually a roll of several yards of gaff tape

[sinful night]

yeah if you need to carry a ton of cards and cash then it really isn’t the product for you

[foggy sonnet]

I’ll count in a sec

34 total

That’s debit, credit, transit, store rewards, and a couple of misc things

And 13 in my ID wallet..

So 47. I will readily admit it is probably not a sane thing to carry that many cards

[pine bay]

thats a lot of cards lol

[foggy sonnet]

See I’m a bad example for this, because I also just save cards in general but I really do only carry what’s still active/usable

I have a trading card binder full of old cards

And when I say full I mean full

[chilly tartan]

wtf

[foggy sonnet]

I collect weird things

Also keys

But I have way more cards than keys

Like orders of magnitude more

[peak halo]

Apple Wallet is a long, long way from replacing every card in my wallet

[foggy sonnet]

I’m mad at NY (my place of residence) because they were in talks with Apple a few years ago about the mobile licenses, and instead they went with some crappy third party vendor to do mobile licenses and IDs in a standalone app

[peak halo]

In the EU/EEA they’ve only just started to offer a credit-card sized travel document that can be used instead of a passport when travelling in the region, never mind a digital ID in an app or even Apple/Google Wallet

[minor slate]

I found ridge overpriced

Will LMG sell LTT Branded USB 420 cables?

Tech sacks are back in stock

https://www.lttstore.com/products/tech-sack

[unkempt seal]

that's not true. we (the Netherlands) have had a credit card sized identity card for at least a decade that can be used for travel with in the eu. but yes, i don't expect that type of stuff in apple wallet anytime soon either.

[foggy sonnet]

Yeah we’re a little bit of a different case here in the states since all the states are still under a single federal government, so we just have 51 different identity cards that are cross accepted across all of the states

We’ve had optional Passport Cards since 2008, but they’re only good for land and sea travel, so basically Canada and Mexico only

(Some US territories also)

A few of our states also have something called an “Enhanced Driver’s License” which basically accomplishes the same as a Passport Card (land and sea only), while also acting as your state driver’s license

[peak halo]

Yeah, by “only just” I was kinda thinking in terms of years because that’s how long these things generally take. Hell in the US lots of places are still trying to move away from magstripes to chip & PIN on payment cards

[foggy sonnet]

No PIN, just chip and signature (if even)

[peak halo]

Even my EU standards-compliant Icelandic ID card with travel rights was only introduced this year

[foggy sonnet]

I’ll miss magstripe, it’s cool tech, but I understand why it has to go

[candid fern]

We have that in the US

It's called a passport card

Used to travel domestically to Canada and Mexico.

[foggy sonnet]

I just mentioned that a few messages up, it’s kinda different since over there going to a different country can be more like going to a different state for us, but it’s kind of similar too in that it’s good for other countries you’re land locked with

ooo this is exciting

more precisions being shipped

[lime fossil]

mashing refresh inbox hoping to get my tracking

[lunar compass]

Yay my precision screwdriver shipped too!

[proper shell]

I'm having trouble visualizing the size of the tech sack, can someone give me examples of how they use it?

[languid socket]

big sack full of tech wew

[proper shell]

My current idea for how I'd use it is combining my pencil pouch with the wires and power bank I carry, but I'm pretty sure that would still be less than half its capacity.

[steel tiger]

lets go, got my shipping notification for the precision

[lime fossil]

im still mashing refresh :(

[foggy sonnet]

Still waiting here too

[opal wadi]

I originally got a ridge specifically because it could not do coins and tons of things. Now I have a few cards and some paper money, I love the simplicity. The $1100 pile of coins I had built up is dwindling too as if I do get coins now they are easier to get out of my pocket and spend, vs when I had a traditional wallet they were near impossible to access and hence I gained a huge amount of them at home.

[lime fossil]

do people actually keep coins in their wallet normally?

thats a weird thing

carry a coinpouch for that thats separate if anything

[foggy sonnet]

I’d imagine it’s more common in places that don’t use paper bills

[lime fossil]

That makes sense, but seems few and far between mostly

[proper shell]

Looked closely at the pictures and my problem is definitely going to be coming up with ideas as to what to put in it. Which I suppose is the better problem to have, but there would be so much empty space that I'm not sure if it would be practical.

Also for some reason I can't see the reviews.

[opal wadi]

Seems weirder to carry another thing just for coins. I want less crap to carry about, not more. Already got wallet, keys, phone and headphones. Dont need to add to that with a purse.

[lime fossil]

a small coin pouch is much more effective for coins than a wallet though

[opal wadi]

But avoiding coins is even more effective...

[lime fossil]

either or

wallets and coins just dont mix well

[cold field]

Has anything been mentioned on when new precision bit cases will be in stock?

[lunar compass]

As far as I’m aware, no. They will be back in stock when they are back in stock.

[misty reef]

Is it cooked? Tried Loctite superglue but like it just came apart again.

[paper mirage]

Send a ticket to support and they will likely send you a new one (and even more likely the new V2 one)

They have been really chill about replacing the tops that break there cause its known to be an issue.

[misty reef]

I just ordered a v2 cause I figured there was no saving it. I bought the water bottle a while ago and just started using it.

[paper mirage]

I ordered a replacement when one of mine broke, then contacted support, and they refunded me.

[misty reef]

Fell on the handle, no cracks. Unscrewed it and dropped it on the floor without the bottle and it snapped which threw me off

[paper mirage]

In other words, contact them anyway, you'll be no worse off than you are now 🙂

[misty reef]

I support LTT they can have my $16.53

[paper mirage]

And ya Linus said there are some manufacturing defects in the V1 that means some are sold and some are fragile.. its pure rng.. hence they did a v2..

They will be happy to hear that.. maybe will need it for a legal defense if CompTIA is going after them so hard they had to pull down all the videos related to Linus taking the A+ lol

[misty reef]

Aye man, I ordered that bottle in 2022 and never used it until like a few months ago. Solid, buying a larger one tomorrow for work.

A quarter of my wardrobe is LTT too so like, I’m probably a regular lol

[paper mirage]

I like their clothes but unless theres a deal, the shipping makes it not economic for me.. but I picked some during limedays..

[foggy sonnet]

Oh damn I hadn’t heard about that

Watching it now before it truly disappears

[paper mirage]

Glad you found a copy.. last I saw it was purged from YT and FP

[foggy sonnet]

LOL I hope that James precision screwdriver bit isn’t only in this video, it’s great

[worn zephyr]

Made the first purchase from lttstore

Forgot to add the bonus bin item, I did mail support. What are my chances it’ll be included? Or am I cooked

[unkempt seal]

simply depends if customer support is faster then the warehouse or not

[worn zephyr]

Hmmm. Valid point

[unkempt seal]

most cases support can adjust the order if they get to it in time. there are exceptions like lime day etc.

[worn zephyr]

Also, what do they use to ship to the ZE US OF A

[unkempt seal]

asaik usps, but some actually from the us will have to confirm that

[cold leaf]

I dont get why they made the handle so large. It makes it get in the way no?

[sinful night]

it’s been ups pretty consistently for me

[worn zephyr]

oooh that’s gonna be amazing. Thanks

[alpine marlin]

Are they going after them or not?

[paper mirage]

No idea.. having all the videos and threads in the official forums nuked just says something’s happening..

[foggy sonnet]

UPS, USPS, or (haven’t seen this in quite a long time) DHL SmartMail which delivers by USPS

Depends on the size of your order/where it’s going

[lime fossil]

Varies. Check your tracking. Some of my orders have been UPS and others USPS

[worn zephyr]

Haven’t got one yet. Just placed the order

2 mystery bottles

[left thorn]

Ah dang no shipping notif for my prescision 😦

[lime fossil]

Same sadly

[sinful night]

me neither but I’m 9188XX so I’m patiently waiting

[lime fossil]

9157xx here

So a couple thousand ahead

[pine bay]

depends on where you are. I've heard people say they get deliveries with UPS, but I get my lttstore stuff from USPS

[lime fossil]

And what the order is and when you order it

Its a classic "it depends"

[peak halo]

9151xx, shipped 😊

Road to a million orders on ltt-store-dot-com

[lime fossil]

Oh boy oh boy oh boy I might get tracking soon

[cold leaf]

Is there a counter somewhere of how many orders have been placed?

[left thorn]

its assumed that they just are counting up

[cold leaf]

from what?

[sinful night]

the counter is making an order yourself

[left thorn]

#9154xx Precision + Case Shipped!!!

[foggy sonnet]

The question is whether they started at 1 though, not saying they didn’t, I’m just not sure

My first order was 32779 back in 03/2020

[nimble pewter]

So they're roughly 5k away from mine shipping

[pine bay]

apparently cargo pants are no longer on backorder (they dont have a backorder notice anymore)

[fiery relic]

Getting into the market for a new chair, and I wish there were an LTTxSecretlab custom chair, or at least LTT-themed chairskins/armrests/footrests available. Ditto with the Magnus desk.

[lime fossil]

Steelcase and Herman Miller are reasonable chair options to consider as well

I thought they had a chair sponsor though? There's not a specific collab ot anything AFAIK

[fiery relic]

secretlab is the chair sponsor, so it seemed like the obvious option for a collab. ditto for a 'tech desk' given how customizable the Magnus is

an LTT X Logitech G/HM Embody would be amazing and an instant purchase, fwiw

[lime fossil]

Gotcha I don't pay much attention there since I have a good handful of steelcase leaps

Got em cheap when offices cleared out. Use them for every chair basically, even around my dining room table

[strong agate]

😆

[nimble pewter]

I wouldn't buy an ltt branded chair, what's the point? Lol

I would however buy an ltt designed chair

[minor slate]

I wouldnt buy a chair online coz of the shipping and stuff is annoying when I do buy a new chair its local

[left thorn]

Traveling with LTT backpack for the first time today

Definitely does not fit under my airplane seat easily 😂

Also the luggage strap is fiddly

But overall still happy

[nimble pewter]

...did you forcefully stuff a week's worth of clothes into it?

[left thorn]

I did not, but I had a few items in the frontmost pocket that didn’t help

[vale wraith]

I didnt have this issue when I travelled with mine, it fit in the overhead locker lol

I was told to put it in there 😭

[left thorn]

Yeah it’s more sized for that than under seat stuff

[fair aspen]

Yes I was told and I told the flight attendant let me have a go and it fitted they were kinda shocked

[foggy sonnet]

What airline/plane? So far I haven’t had any issues fitting mine under the seat easily

[left thorn]

It was delta and mostly the front pocket thingy

And then the whole bag sticks out from under the seat a bit but that’s expected

[foggy sonnet]

My most recent flights were Delta but 2 were on flown by WestJet (737-700s) and 2 were Delta CRJ-900s

I was expecting issues on the CRJ because it’s smaller but it fit no problem

[cold leaf]

Anyone remember if they said how many teeth the LTT screwdriver ratchet has?

By my counting its 28 notches. Which doesnt seem that high? Lots of them tout 72 teeth

[cold field]

Do not buy a "racing" gaming chair... buy an ergonomic desk chair.

[ruby reef]

I have heard that Secretlabs chairs are one of the only actually ergo/comfy "gaming" chairs, if you are ok with the price.

[cold leaf]

But can it do this? -----.-----

[cold field]

If it is a racing style chair it is not ergo...

[ruby reef]

It's not "ergo" but it has a lot of good support/comfort features, and is better than most "gaming chairs".

[cold field]

But if you are spending long hours in it you should not waste your money on something that isn't good for your back.

[ruby reef]

I agree, but from what I have heard, if you really want the "gaming chair" look, secretlabs are alright for your back

[hollow pewter]

ikea have ok chairs

also second hand HM

[halcyon horizon]

I see chairs as an investment in my own health so ergo is really important. I would recommend second hand Hermain miller as @hollow pewter said

[open vapor]

KDR goes up with the comfort over time of a good chair.

[opal wadi]

Honestly going from gaming racing chairs to a herman miller embody has changed nothing for me. The embody has better materials and isn't falling apart, but ergonomics?... I actually hurt my back last week after 2 years of using the embody, never did in 6 years or something of using a dx racer. But obviously the chair has nothing at all to do with it. Gaming chairs are overpriced for the materials, but all this talk of ergonomics leaves me baffled.

[cold field]

That is a very naive take. If you sit in a good posture in an ergonomic chair your back will be much better in the long term compared to sitting in a good posture in a racing chair.... You hurting your back while not sitting in the chair has nothing to do with it. That has to do with stretching, keeping your muscles strong, and lifting things in a good way.

[opal wadi]

I still notice zero difference.

[outer agate]

Handled it quite well

[elder ermine]

The LTT bottle insulates so much better than I expected

big W

[reef tusk]

could it be that everyone is different? i'm sitting in a secret lab and my back is way beter than it used to be.

[cold field]

No because it is objectively bad

[full helm]

they need to release LTT Suitcase!

[reef tusk]

I have a big one the one before the biggest and in the summer it’s amazing

[cold leaf]

Just got some short bits from Aliexpress to complete my loadout. Now need to figure out which ones are going in.

[cold leaf]

They seem to be good quality, we'll see how they hold up. They're both S2 steel with black phosphate coating. Got rid of the LTT squares (never seen a square bolt in my life) and a couple of the slotted bits. Filled up the upper carousel with hex bits, and threw in a couple of T9 and T5 bits which match my laptop.

So much cheaper than getting them from lttstore.com only £10 for the Ali set.

and they fit perfectly in the screwdriver

[onyx drum]

LTT guns? 😅

[willow tide]

No idea and been procrastinating dealing with the same problem 😅

Didn't realise carabiner kits are kind of out

[frail hornet]

I wish they had other colors of it.

Love the design, but the only good option is stealth and that kind of hides the design

Their old cardboard colored one is gorgeous.

Wish I was on an LTT spending spree back then

[candid fern]

I've had mine since February

[frail hornet]

A floatplane blue and white limited edition wouldn't be too bad 👀

[gaunt ice]

Tech Sack is finally back in stock, yay!

[rocky wolf]

Messaged support to add it to my order

[gaunt ice]

I'm a bit bummed precision bit set and case is still sold out, or rather I hope Tech Sack won't be sold out again by the time that comes back. It has already happened to me before with other items.

[rocky wolf]

My precision bundle still hasn’t dispatched ordered before the pop up live started too

[peak halo]

First four digits of your order number? Anything else in the order waiting to dispatch?

[rocky wolf]

9174 and nope

(Might actually be a blessing since support can add the tech sack now so i save money on shipping)

[potent ocean]

I'm a late 9205XX and am still patiently waiting. The last email did say that it will be fulfilled by tomorrow 🤞

[rocky wolf]

i got that email too 🤞

[cold leaf]

Didnt Linus state in WAN show or something about a future European distributor?

[rocky wolf]

Lucky

[sinful night]

I’m 9188xx and still haven’t gotten anything

[peak halo]

Linus discussed it on a previous WAN Show, linked here #lttstore message

[stuck torrent]

I'm very far behind on WAN show now, but last I heard re: EU distributor was essentially: Ultra long term, probably. Any time in the forseeable future, extremely unlikely. Significant overhead costs and accounting nightmares from having an international physical presence, plus QA concerns without Linus being able to directly oversee things, plus inventory management headaches, all amounting to EU pricing needing to be notably higher. The net outcome would be EU customers would be paying basically the same amount as they are currently (albeit with much more efficient shipping times and less customs headaches) since instead of (normal base price+high shipping+customs) it'd be (higher base+low shipping). Extra work+minimal financial benefit for anyone involved make it a no go.

It's not never, and if they continue to scale and scale it eventually might make sense, but they're still very small in the grand scheme of things, so can't just absorb the extra costs like an amazon can.

[hallow robin]

lttstore mechanical keyboards hand built by plouffe and antoine

[peak halo]

I can see that being offered as part of a $10k Whale Expo pass

[cold leaf]

I see. Makes sense. tbh, they'd need to scale up production before they scale up distribution

[candid fern]

There was a concept one

They sent out a survey a few months ago with a blue and white float plane design and it said like on a scale of 1-10 how willing are you to purchase this

[final quail]

Just got my cargo pants. Holy hell this are well made.

AND SO MANY POCKETS

feel really nice. Heavy material but not too heavy. Perfect stretchyness

[worn zephyr]

They ended up adding it to my order! Now we wait for it to ship

I’m #936xxx so I guess it’s gonna be a while

Hoped to get it for Halloween

[sinful night]

what’d your originally order?

[worn zephyr]

2x mystery bottles

[sinful night]

ooo interesting how they took long enough for support to add it

I would’ve expected something like that to be shipped day of

but I guess as always, “it depends”

[worn zephyr]

I just hope now shipping isn’t a bitch. I hope they are “light”

[worn zephyr]

Eh. It’s fine to expect 2-3 days fulfilment time.

[sinful night]

have you had problems with heavy items being slow?

[worn zephyr]

No no. I’m reshipping them to India. I’ll be paying by weight. Hence hoping they are light

Still saving a ton of money

[sinful night]

yeah I think that’s normal, I’ve had a few cases where I order something and they ship it pretty quickly, like my backpack was shipped the day I ordered it

[sinful night]

ah, hope it doesn’t cost you too much! 🤞

[worn zephyr]

Yeah hoping it’s under a kilo

Anything more and I’m

[loud haven]

Gotta say, winning prizes is kinda fun. Thanks, LTT

[sinful night]

ooo is that the jawa one?

that color combo is nice

[loud haven]

ye0p. It's pretty dope

I didn't know it was going to be signed. That's a neat bonus

[rocky wolf]

Really nice

[worn zephyr]

Quick question. Mystery bottles also use Spout v2 correct? On WAN show Linus said all water bottles sold on lttstore will now have Spout v2, but product page doesn’t mention it explicitly

This may include any overstock of any previous colors/designs, as well as bottles that use the V1 Spout Lid

Nvm this is clear enough I guess. Would be fine if it’s all v2 tho

[paper mirage]

They aren't opening and swapping them out, that said, if your lig breaks, they will send you a replacement for free.. so I wouldn't stress about it.

[pine bay]

Is the tech sack likely to still be in stock next week?

[foggy sonnet]

I’d say so

[modest shoal]

They’re not something I need right now but damn do I want a pair lol

I did just order the zip up mock neck and the tall tee, stoked to get those in before the cold hits

[tropic ocean]

Anyone get their pants yet? Do they stretch at all?

[pine bay]

theres a good chance yeah

[candid fern]

Looks like they created shipping labels, but it hasn't moved yet.

[foggy sonnet]

Are you looking at Wizmo tracking or final carrier?

Because it’ll get a few scans with Wizmo before the delivery carrier gets it

[candid fern]

I use Shop to track all of my packages

[foggy sonnet]

Not sure if that picks up the Wizmo tracking, what’s the current status it shows?

[candid fern]

Shipper has created a label, UPS has not received the package yet.

[foggy sonnet]

[rocky wolf]

Precision Multi-Bit Screwdriver
Precision Bit Set + Case
2022 Sticker Pack - Bonus

Don’t think any of these would cause a delay

[worn zephyr]

Time to mail them

[orchid sonnet]

Have we had any info about the big deskpads coming back into stock?

[final quail]

I hope they make a black pair at some point. I could see these replacing my jeans. I’ve worn jeans almost exclusively for decades lol.

[boreal niche]

Does anyone know/can test if the bit case for the precision screwdriver fits in the tech sack?

[quartz comet]

Please do let me know if you get an answer!

If I ever become more financially stable (or if I get more money and really want it) then I might get the tech sack

[peak halo]

Just going by the product dimensions, the length of the Bit Set + Case is 15.5cm and the length of the Tech Sack is nearly 23cm, so yes I would think one would fit inside the other

[sinful night]

I’m more worried about the height tbh

still looks like it’d fit

so it’s a probably, I have a tech sack and I’m getting my bit case in a few days so I can confirm or deny it then

[foggy sonnet]

If it does fit that’s probably where I’ll keep mine

Because right now I keep my screwdriver kit and tech sack right next to each other in my bag

And I will be happy to eliminate the old kit, it’s awkward in the bag/takes up a lot of space

One of these

Most of the cheap full size bits are broken, as it the full size driver (I just use my LTT driver) so I won’t miss any of that, all I need is the precision stuff

[onyx drum]

This is kinda just a suggestion idk if they are allowed but could LTT ever make a impact/installation driver that's battery compatible with one of the large brands 12V platforms and has a installation driver mode like DeWalt/Craftsman have rn (video attached shows what it does basically it's for machine thread screws and cuts off when there's resistance to stop from overtorquing)
I think a new battery platform is dumb but companies like Klein already run their 20V tools on the DeWalt battery for example

Having a installation driver in 12V would deadass be awesome for tech stuff

[pine bay]

Each bit is labeled

[left flicker]

does the precetion ratchet?

[pine bay]

no

[left flicker]

ok dint think so

[pine bay]

it does come with an adapter, so you can use it's bits in the normal ltt screwdriver

[left flicker]

ok thats handy af

[pine bay]

the adapter isnt super tight though, its very noticably wobbly

[wise saddle]

How is it compared to the ifixit kit thats similar

[left flicker]

should bring that up to support they will def make it right

[pine bay]

idk, i dont have one. i used one a while ago, but that was a while ago

[left flicker]

then again all adapters ive used are wobly

[pine bay]

nah its not critical or anything, just a minor annoyance

[wise saddle]

Ifixit kit has the same adapter type is wobbly too

Anyone have the scribedriver and can tell me how it is?

[left flicker]

i wanna know how it holds up in greasy environments i need a screwdriver for my go bag for field diag

ive got a pile of individual screwdrivers that if i could narrow down to a decent ratcheter id love

[wise saddle]

The precision doesn’t ratchet but the stubby and standard do

They are great

[left flicker]

well if i could narrow litterally 3 drawer portable toolbox with a drawer of drivers down to 3 that would be heaven

obviously a few would stay because of access but still

[wise saddle]

I just have the standard

[modern shard]

Day many of waiting for larger inseam length cargo pants to be launched so I can throw more dolans at LTTstore.com.

[foggy sonnet]

I’m usually a 32” inseam but I’m gonna try the current ones and see if they come down barely low enough to be wearable with higher shoes

[modern shard]

I bought a pair for my husband in my last 400+$ order.

I was contemplating buying three pairs for each of us, but I am taller than him, so Ill have to see how his will fit. I think 30 is going to be perfect for him but I think I need 32".

can never be sure though. clothing sizes tend to vary a bunch from mfg to mfg

[foggy sonnet]

Yeah I figure it’s worth a shot, I’ll buy one pair and if they don’t fit me I can give them to a family member

[proper shell]

Do the mystery bottles come with the new lids or would I need to purchase one separately?

Disregard, I didn't read the product info text and the answer is maybe

[twilit silo]

I've run into a issue with the LTT screwdriver... The magnet is too strong and it's pulling the CPU cooler away from the bracket

[twilit silo]

I guess, strong magnet means strong magnet

[nimble pewter]

It's great

[rocky wolf]

My scribedriver isn’t wobbly at all

[lyric abyss]

fantastic, the best pen i own, but there’s not a lot of competition

[copper torrent]

did LTT store reduce the variants of some items they sold over the years

[rocky wolf]

Yeah

[copper torrent]

some items i wanted to buy a few years ago seem to be missing, now that i want to buy now since starting my first job

[copper torrent]

shame, i wonder what im missing, did anyone make like a list somewhere?

[rocky wolf]

Not that i know off

[copper torrent]

Another question, has anyone ever bought LTTstore stuff from Singapore? Wondering how much is the shipping costs

[left flicker]

what if the LTT screwdrivers were made from recycled ewaste plastic

E waste edition

[fiery dawn]

Finally got around to uploading the LTT Screwdrive mount I made for Ikea Skadis boards so I figured I'd share. https://makerworld.com/en/models/700832#profileId-630283

[true comet]

I wish LTT sold some unhealthy and nutritionally dubious product targeted toward children

[cold leaf]

Put heatshrink rubber grip to the screwdriver. Feels much better for grip.

Also protects it from scuffs

[cold leaf]

Is there a schematic for how the 'tainer pin works to hold the bit storage in place? I'm curious how it works

[left flicker]

i have that flashlight use it daily on the farm lights up the whole barn

iirc i found it in a clearance bin

[left flicker]

little wide for my liking that was always my complaint with ratchet screwdrivers and self containing bits

[cold leaf]

Depends on your hand size I guess. Also I think it would be better if the cap didnt freespin when closed.

Just feels a bit wrong when you cant apply pressure and twist from the end with your palm

[left flicker]

this is why i prefer to buy tools in person

[cold leaf]

It's still the best bit holder screwdriver I have

And my first ratcheting one, really nice to use.

[fiery dawn]

Yeah great flashlight, I got it in a 3 pack at Costco, one in the office, garage, and in the car

[cold leaf]

LTT headtorch incoming?

[viscid shell]

The only way to know the shipping costs to a given location is to put things in your cart, then enter the destination address. 🙂 Even if someone else in the same country says "oh my shipping was $XX.xx" that doesn't mean it will be the same for your order depending on the weight and your exact location.

[pine bay]

very good point. Its very good to remember that in most cases, adding something to your cart doesnt mean you are commiting to buying it. Sometimes that is the best (or only) way to get useful information. Just be a little more careful at reading buttons if its a site that already has your payment info saved (ive accidently bought things on amazon because sometimes there is a "buy now" button in the same place as the add to cart button lol)

[devout hatch]

Had it for over a year, it's great.

Wait

Misread as screw driver

[sinful night]

😭 I was gonna say the scribedriver hasn't even been out for a year

[worn zephyr]

Okay this is getting ridiculous honestly. Ordered on 9th, still not shipped 🥲

[viscid shell]

I mean, it's been 2 business days, and various factors (weight, size, destination, etc.) can affect order delivery times, so perhaps wait to see if things move forward when Tuesday/Wednesday roll around?

[worn zephyr]

Oh damn I didn’t think that way and count business days.

End up working everyday so that line is so blurred lol

[nimble pewter]

Even counting whole days, 5 days ain't long, especially with the amount of things they're currently working on shipping

[sinful night]

yeah I got my precision screwdriver tracking around 48 hours ago but I expect it won't be shipped until tomorrow at the earliest

[minor slate]

Also did U order a precision screwdriver as that is backordered.

[worn zephyr]

I ordered water bottles

[minor slate]

Oh ok

[celest whale]

Shipped by Sept 30 they say… delayed to shipped by Oct 13 they say… still don’t have a tracking number 😂
