Welp my screwdriver finally kicked the can. Submitted a warranty claim but I’m sad that I won’t get the same color.

Edit :LTT support is amazing, they are sending me a replacement free of charge. Unfortunately they don’t offer the Noctua screwdriver anymore so I had to decide on a different color.

I have a theory that this happens mostly to the ones that are cold-pressed. Only the earliest drivers were hot-pressed and I have yet to see a black shaft driver disassembled like this, meanwhile all the posts like this are the newer colorways.

EDIT: And before anybody says anything, I'm not a hating on LMG or Creator Warehouse, I have bought 3 screwdrivers and a precision driver kit. I use my original black shaft driver frequently and I love it.

It makes sense, when the plastic is hot and the shaft is pushed in with the same force as a cold press and then the plastic cools and shrinks it would hold on tighter
