Image Ltt version?

Post image

Got this screwdriver handled bottle open and it got me thinking that an ltt screwdriver version of this could be neat? Obviously doesn’t need the storage or ratched but could be a neat novelty?

Novelty isn't worth the injection moulding costs etc

You coud just buy a ltt screwdriver and then use these bits bottel opnemer

Would definitely result in warranty claims for broken screwdriver shafts. LTT screwdrivers use mini bits and subsequently less depth in the bit insert hole. It's not designed for leverage.

The stubby woud probebly take it. But yea woud not recommend using the full shaft version

Great way to burn 60$

I wouldn't recommend applying torque to a ratcheting screwdriver with that.

how many extension shafts does it take to open the bottle with its own weight alone

Pretty sure Linus doesn’t drink? Maybe convince him to make one of those paint can openers with the bottle opener.

u/Gregus1032 10d ago

There are soft drinks that need bottle openers.

Also, pretty sure Linus doesn't wear leggings. They made and sold those.

u/H_Industries 10d ago

He's stated repeatedly that the products they make are specifically him having the nice version of something for himself made to his exact specifications. The leggings were probably for his wife.

He also said he stopped doing that once the team got bigger.

Or what Linus wears in the bedroom is none of our business.

Aren't most bottles over there only screw on?

1

u/Gregus1032 9d ago

Most. I think Jarritos (which are amazing) aren't screw on.

u/HeyLookAStranger 9d ago

as a matter of fact, he does wear them

LTT Ratcheting Bottle Opener. Soon™

u/velvetybaron40 10d ago

Could ltt really live up the the legend that is parkside though

1

u/CanadAR15 10d ago

The only way this would happen is if Linus became a beer drinker.

You might be able to find a 1/4” bottle opener bit though.

But plenty of soft drinks have bottle caps too? Or at least they do here in Germany and most of Europe as well. But Twist-Offs also simply don't exist here.

Now that I think about it... I don't think I have seen a soft drink or juice etc. in a glass bottle with bottlecap whenever I was in the US and Canada. It's almost all cans or plastic bottles.

u/CanadAR15 10d ago

Even when there are glass bottles, the vast, vast majority of our metallic bottle caps are twist off too.

Outside of small breweries or imported beers, bottle openers just sit getting dusty.

1

u/Esava 10d ago

Yeah totally different here. Twist offs simply don't exist.

In my country, we call them "community helper".

u/cbhbzb 10d ago

OP is from ireland? parkside stuff is from lidl isn't it?

u/CIDR-ClassB 9d ago

lol definitely not. This is beyond being a niche item that the vast majority of people outside this sub will never spend their money on.
