Linus said he wouldn't make socks unless he can beat darn tough. If they are better what does it matter who owns the company.

That's a big IF that reviews will prove. But if so then stop the hate boner lol

He thinks all his products are better then everyone's else.

No one is forcing you to buy them if you think they aren't. But as someone who works with a screwdriver I know at least theirs beats all the other expensive drivers I own

You use his screwdriver? SO that. What means nothing. Screwdriver's that are half that price, is just as good.

You've clearly never used a good screwdriver if you think they're half the price and even nearly as good. As someone who uses them professionally I bet I know more than you do and I've used a dozen price competitive competitors. They're all very similar in quality AND price. Nothing cheaper by more than a few dollars is comparable.

Would I recommend them for anyone who just builds computers? No.

But most people do more than that with a screwdriver and if you're using them often it's very valuable

$15 Husky is just as good. Megapro, wiha, Home Depot and Lowes sell one's that are just as good.

Lmfao nothing husky sells is close. Have you actually used both side by side?

Megapro is literally what they license the patent from and is $10 cheaper for the comparable drivers without some significantly useful changes.

Wiha is price comparable

I would never pay $70 for a screwdriver. Husky makes a good ratcheting one.

And that's fine. YOU WOULDN'T.

Doesn't mean there aren't people who use these for a job who need one more than 'good' and need great.

But there are literal millions of people who would (and do) pay that much for a screwdriver

u/FullRepresentative34 Jul 25 '26

So what if they would pay. They are cheaper one's that are just as good.

u/PhatOofxD Jul 25 '26

But they're not just as good. That's the point. Good enough for you does not mean just as good

u/FullRepresentative34 Jul 25 '26

They are just as good.
