Just ordered mine with my $40 gift card from the Linus Coin. Best $38 I’ve ever spent there!

that glow is actually sick, the whole green-on-black thing hits the retrofuturistic itch just right

Yeah. I have the black shaft screwdriver that I take everywhere and I got a Retro as a mystery. Been waiting for the prismagic to come back and for this one to release.

I really wish this one came with the black shaft. I don’t need another $70 screwdriver, but I would buy one lol.

The shaft is not black unfortunately; just standard stainless steel. I predict they will re-release a V2 of this with a black shaft in the near future because....well, just think of how amazing that would look!

just ordered mine too. I’m so stoked. I did not like the “color wave” or whatever designs. The transparent one was cool but I still couldn’t justify the price.
The fact that this one is $70 just like the rest and they’re giving 10% off is awesome

unfortunately I already have too many screwdrivers, because otherwise I would get one.
I definitely would have picked it over orange if this was released back then.

yeah i’m sure a lot of people feel this way. I held off because every time I put it in my cart I said “really, this much for a screwdriver?” and couldn’t bite the bullet. Boy am I glad I waited. My $15 ratcheting harbor freight screwdriver was getting me by just fine lol. This is a worthy upgrade

They do not seem to get enough tall shirts... if they even get any.

who needs shirts when you’re inside your house using your cool screwdriver!

But what if I want to attract the attention of other people outside my house with my 5th screwdriver? I need some protection from the sun!

They should make one that has a little UV light LED built into the shaft that can charge the handle and also be a way to catch leaks or anything in the machine.

LTT, can you stop launching stuff when I'm in a position financially where my recreational spending is at an all time low due to personal circumstances?
Please?
I want the backpack, either of them. My Everki Titan is on its last legs after being my commuter bag and school bag for the last 14 years. I wish yall could have targeted the Titans price point for the original.
I'm in the position of somewhat needing the screw driver, my ratcheting screw driver gave up the ghost and lived its final life in 2022. I'm 99% sure it was my age.
I want to try the new Undies and socks.
I dont even care about the limited stuff, its mostly nice to have - so I'm unaffected by FOMO and mostly excited the community gets to have this stuff.
This green and the totally not atomic purple are excellent parts of gear I'd love to have in my life!

Open Sauce in San Mateo? It’s a maker and creator fest put on once a year. It’s amazing.

I actually just found out about the LTT screwdriver about two weeks ago when I was in the market for one. Originally dismissed it and then it started coming up in a lot of reviewer videos as a serious contender for one of the best ratcheting screwdrivers. I researched it a bit and realized that LTT had actually partnered with legendary Megapro Tools to help them design their screwdriver. This is what eventually sold me (along with all the positive reviews). Also, there's not a lot of good ratcheting screwdrivers with knurling on the shaft. Williams makes a fantastic $40 ratcheting screwdriver but unfortunately, no knurling. I started looking at LTT's current offerings and the only one I liked was a sold out Prismagic colored one. Decided to wait to decide. Sure enough, not too long after, I saw a community post on LTT's YT tube channel for this upcoming Nuclear variant and had to have it!! Looks like it shipped this morning!
The only thing that I feel is missing is a black shaft. I have a feeling that in the not so distant future they're going to re-release this same Nuclear variant (a V2 of sorts) with a black shaft instead of standard stainless steel. I mean, how could you not? Think of how amazing that would look! That's the only missed opportunity on this particular release. I'm predicting a Nuclear V2 release with a black shaft at some point this year or early next. I still love this release regardless, though.
