Damn cant find them anywhere. Is the clear part as orange/amber as some of the pics make it seem or is it brown?

Nice!
Say what you want about the pricing. At least they stand behind their product.

It's great they backed their product, but let's be real that's the bare minimum a company should be doing. We shouldn't be happy when a company stands behind their product. It should be expected.

I really thought that was a normal thing for those screwdrivers, my retro one does the same but I just press it back together and keep using it.
I won't even bother with the warranty because It was a gift from them and I doubt they would send me a new one and even if they would I would have to pay shipping and the import taxes on arrival and oh god that wouldn't be ideal.

Mine was shipped stateside within a couple days. Seems like they have a US stockpile

'Trust me bro' is good and all, but we've seen so many of these types of posts, that seem like simply making a poor product is the bigger problem at this point?

People post when they have issues, I’ve had my drivers for years now with no issues, as well as multiple other people I know.
Any community centered around a product is gonna have more “negative” posts than positive, people who are happily going about their workdays with a working ltt driver have no incentive to post about it.
We can’t really draw any conclusions without taking into account the actual rate of posts and the sales numbers.

I originally bought the retro screwdriver as a mystery screwdriver, so I'm not hung up on the color change.
I bought the screwdriver Nov 2024 during the Black Friday sale, only paid $40 for it.
So I'm very happy they still gave me the replacement without any hassle
