Far from a vanity project, the LTT Ratcheting Screwdriver has absolutely earned a spot in my toolbag. The LTT Precision Pro Multi-Bit Screwdriver & Bit Set is certainly solid, too, but loses out to the more affordable iFixit alternative.

You don't need lots of tools to build a PC. A single Philips screwdriver should suffice to remove stubborn thumbscrews and secure both the motherboard and power supply. Yet I'm still reaching for my toolkit every other day, be it for modding an old iPod or snipping zip-ties. If you're the sort to tinker with a lot of electronics, a versatile screwdriver is a handy thing to own.
That brings me to the latest products to come across my desk: a precision screwdriver with a multi-bit set and a large ratcheting screwdriver . All of which comes from an unlikely source, though one I'm sure most PC gamers will know well: Linus Tech Tips.
I wasn't sure what to expect upon opening the YouTuber-branded boxes. Having once upon a time been at the same booth at a show as Linus was loudly disagreeing with someone about quality control, I had a pretty good feeling about the quality of the screwdrivers before they arrived. That was a good assumption, too, as now they're in front of me, they feel sturdy and well put together.
LTT Ratcheting Screwdriver
(Image credit: Future) The ratcheting mode is adjusted via the dial below the shaft and above the grip. With this, you can switch between clockwise, counterclockwise and locked modes on the screwdriver—basically, unscrew/screw/both. The dial movement feels pretty chunky, but the ratcheting actually feels pretty lightweight, which is what you want for the stubby screws often used in a PC build.
