Good morning. Good morning. I'm not on the clock. It's free driver pop-up day.
How are you feeling? I'm feeling great. I'm very happy. There's a ton of people here already, so super exciting. Are you excited?
When's the stream starting? 11 30. 11 30. What time does it now? It's quarter past nine
So four hours Roughly nice shirt
nice shirt
Kyle nice shirt
What booth are you ready for today? I'm running this booth. I am running the challenges today
So it's gonna be me and Angus Guess the amount of screws in the jar and then also top spinning challenges where see who does it the longest and you get to slip it back
I know there's like a trick to it if you see like any of the engineers. They definitely have a really good spin to it
I mean if you use compressed air you could probably go like as long as you want
So I mean you want to rig it. Okay, so how many do you know how many are in those drawers? I do not
Oh, do you know you don't even know? Well, that's the best part, right? So then I can't rig it
I can't tell people. Oh, that's maybe a little bit too low. Are you sure you don't want to go up?
What's on the itinerary today? We're selling merch. We got some contest
We got the ShortCircuit stream being set up right now. So we got a bunch of stuff going on
Did you already look at the test stations? We got HR booth. You can ask us about working at LMG drop off a resume
I mean, this is a month later, right?
We can still sign up probably I mean you could still sign up the jobs might just be different
What are you working on Steven? I need signs for the stream
To sign up. Yeah. Wow. Everyone can scan that QR code right now to sign up
It doesn't work by the time you see it. Hi, Jamie. What's up? What are you working on?
I'm a cash guy today, but okay. So recent I swept the parking lot
We put up tents. We put ice in ice chests and that's about it so far. We've been here since 7 30 though
Oh, God, you know, there's a 7 30 in the morning now. Chase is helping me. Yep. I can film further
I'd go like this now So technically everyone passing you
This is I'm legally following the rules here. Yeah, this is fine. This is sufficient notice very weird
If you're reading this that means you're agreeing to be filmed
No, that's not our problem That should be okay. All right. There you go. Now you've got all that all that space you can film. Yay
I'm literally from everyone now
Linus is here
We Morning Yvonne. Are you excited? Super excited. I can't believe how many people are here already. Yeah, there's a lot of people
Well, I got what are you doing today? I'm just an extra body. So anybody who needs help you let me know
All right, I'm supposed to find Andy right now and see if he needs help. So I'll be I'll be back. Good luck
My Linus. Hi. Are you excited for this live stream today? Oh, I'm very excited for the live stream today
Apparently, I'm like challenging people One-on-one to some kind of challenge. Yeah, I can win prizes. Yeah, I think you're like you have to use this
Persistent screwdriver to cool screw stuff. Cool
Are you confident that you'll never lose? Oh, I'm definitely gonna lose. I have no idea what I'm even doing
I'm gonna be seeing these challenges for the first time. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah, I I don't understand what these lineups before whatever
This is is really unpopular Everybody wants a piece of that
I think those are for the tours. Are any of our neighbors gonna be mad about this?
Some of them are here. Yeah, well, I mean
Have we talked to them at all or yeah, okay?
Okay, okay, okay, so they're cool They're cool. I just want to move the line so that people aren't the other way
So we're gonna yeah, we're just gonna go that way and then down so people will still be in shade
We'll just move the shade pens. Okay, we just deployed so we're playing like a big game of snake
It's like a little storefront
Was in a warehouse with a big yellow door in the sky
That door Oh, yeah, yeah, I
Would like I would like a sticker pack and this promotional material and
See you later Hey, look, it's that guy that comes to everything who's the guy in the neon shirt. He comes to like everything
It's actually some of them. I've started to recognize
That's kind of parasocial Well, especially for the local events like if you follow instructions and you only come to them if you're local
Then it's a much smaller. It's a much smaller pool of potential familiar faces. Never forget buddy here. Definitely recognizable
Could never forget this isn't too bad things aren't too ridiculous. I mean, it doesn't open for 10 minutes
But I think as as a day goes before it's kind of dropping. Yeah. Yeah, hopefully hopefully things stay relatively chill morning everybody
How y'all doing Good stuff. You guys were smart to come early because I think it's gonna be a scorcher today
Three degrees really nice to meet you M&M
All right, so if we have any discount codes for plus 30%
Oh
Remember that did you print that yourself? Oh, no, no, no, no. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh that one
Limited edition. Yeah, I never got one. That's why I didn't recognize it
By the way, Tom, I don't know if you this will be what Floatplane our floaters watching this
Tom has a game called car poon that is worth checking out. It's it's not automotive pornography
It's it's like a harpoon attached to a car and you like
You you're like a tow truck driver and you have to bring the cars to the like
The depot or whatever. No, it's fun. No, it's just it's like it's just it's dumb fun, you know
Yeah, you guys it's a pullover you did yes, huh?
It works out really works out really well actually. Let's see it with the zip
Maybe we should do a zip up waffle
You know what though, I'm the one who's always pushing for the zippers the zippers are better
I'm I'm far better because that way you don't mess up your hair
Doesn't really matter for me Concern I have but more of a I just like a comfort wise
Also, if you get too warm exactly exactly are better
So I'm I'm very pro zipper, but the team and actually a lot of the customers always like where's the pullover?
Where's the pullover? Okay? You have the pullover too
Okay, I think this may be the first time that people have mostly followed instructions and not
Like absolutely Swarmed one of these events when we did the garage sale a little while ago at one point the lineup was like down the street
I heard Yeah, people still coming in. Oh, yeah. It's wow. So that's a pretty steady stream
All right, cool speaking of steady streams, we're gonna be streaming today
I didn't know where you're gonna and go that's how you go urination with that
What's wrong with you? Who's our first buyer? Let's go. Let's go. Pardon. Where's our first buy this guy?
Get the interview get the interview exclusive
You have number one. Yes, I do
Well, it was a close call, but luckily the person that was third in line gave me number one because that was way
They handed them out out of order
Okay, very gracious third place. So thank you there
When did you get here? 3 a.m. 3 a.m. Oh my god. We can't turn in the cars until we saw people coming in. Oh my god
What do you like? How far did you? Okay, okay, it's not too bad
Congrats, is this your first food ever or the first precision
I have I bought a screwdriver set for myself study in large and then what for my dad as well
She liked them. That's cool. Well, congrats. I mean number one
Wow, hello everyone. There's so many people
holes in my wall When I'm not far I got
The way through the line before an insults very good so far
Wait, this is the same wait, you're the same person that
Wait, what? Yeah, we're charging us an extra for everything now. Good. Good. Good
By you know, it's in the I'm not I'm off hours right now. So I don't need to wear PPE
So should have expected that right?
Are you wow everyone's here so early?
Well, okay, listen, we film we actually film scrapped your doors like almost four months ago. Yeah, I don't care
Why didn't you keep the haircut? Brat I actually I'm gonna probably go get it trimmed up next week to go back to the mullet, but you know what we'll see
How many precision screwdrivers are you gonna get are they allowed to buy more than one? No
Then you're getting one. Okay My question
We can ask it anyways. Yeah
Wow, what are you planning on buying at the precision screwdriver pop-up not the precision screwdriver
This is gonna be even worse, I'm just gonna be at this like all the time
I'm gonna have to get one to keep on my desk I'm gonna have to get one. You're number eight keep one
Actually, yeah, oh boy number nine. Wow
Faster check out
What'd you get number 12 number 12? Yes. Hey, how's it going excited? I mean, it's happening right now. So
I'm excited though. I think it's a good turnout. We have a lot. We have a lot of people coming through
I'm excited for the stream though. I feel like it's gonna be a really fun one
We're gonna get Linus. He's gonna be competing against other
Yeah, audience members live, which is pretty cool They're gonna be doing a bunch of tasks like repairing the battery on a watch. Okay
It's harder than a team's at least, you know, friend at least for me. I don't know might be easier for other people
Yeah, super super pumped for this entire thing. I finally bought my precision screwdriver
This is accurate to scale It is accurate to scale. It is very precise as you can see. Let's take a part of GPU
Let's use the bearing Is that you working? Yeah, of course. You know what? This is a little too complicated
Let's use a more accurate precision screwdriver here really quick. There we go. Oh
Look at that Done beautiful. I'm so happy that our one throwaway joke in that screwdriver stream has spawned multiple of these
What number are you? I am number
48 38 48 48. Oh, wow
Exciting. We're pretty early in the day. We'll see how these go We're getting ready. I think we'll actually start a stream on time. Oh my goodness, which is kind of crazy
We're what an hour and seven minutes away
This could be the first time I know it's crazy history in the making I know because we don't shoot videos on Saturday
So I mean except for this one and like this one and and probably another one and probably other ones
How much did we pay for this How do we make this? I think that's for later. I don't think oh really
So the same as the manufacturer of the actuals I think that's for on the screen. This thing is invaluable. It's gonna be on your shelf behind your desk one day
You know little LTD museum, and you're gonna love it that you have it
Now I'm just disappointed that this is no longer to scale. I know it's through it is to scale now
We need a bigger one. No, it's not to scale
It doesn't hold drivers in the bedroom drivers inside. We wanted it to but this is a freaking weapon. Yeah, I know
Yes, it is Random headphone amp here. What is this table? So this is so you can figure with it. It's test drive
Wants to they're just buying it
What is that? Oh, what a piece of crap, okay? Well, it's it's magnetic. Yeah, you're gonna lose all the things
It's fine. My biggest problem with this is when you try and drive you your hand slips up because there's no gripping girls
Right, and it's and it's a it's a thick boy
This is $30 No, uh, 30 us. Yeah, that's what I said 45 Canadian Ruples. This is $30. That's the same price as ours
Well, but then it does come with it Fairness, but I mean like I don't know how I feel about this retention system
It looks pretty cool because it's magnetic, but then if you drop it
Oh, why your demonstration purposes for demonstration purposes and someone and someone's filming
Look at the other thing. Yeah, no wonder people were so excited about our pricing
Yeah, I think our price, you know all of our tools is very fair
Like when you think about all our screwdrivers, they're pretty like
Averagely price compared to what was we compete against right well compared to what we're competing in that. Yeah, that's what I'm saying
I think a lot of people lose that context of what we're competing against when they compare it to
Something off of Temu or whatever. Yeah, we could make a $20 screwdriver. It just wouldn't feel that good
Yeah, just it would feel like a $20 screw. Yeah right because people have to remember
The beginning this guy had a screwdriver that was famous for caring for that orange one that was in his back pocket all the time
That was a $90 screwdriver and but I think that context lets you know
You knew that you'd be carrying this damn thing for years with you everywhere after you made it
So it had to be something you wanted to care and I wasn't gonna make something that wasn't as good as that or wasn't a good fidget spinner period
Like I love holding just the Barrel part and then spinning the top part. Yeah. Oh, dude, dude. Have you tried the percent? Don't wait. Where's our screwdriver?
Thank you. Oh here. Okay. Have you spun this yet? Yes, and I'm afraid that in a few weeks time
The whole office will have one at their desk and this is all you're gonna hear It's gonna be like cicadas or something like
Like what is that sound?
You haven't heard the other second annoying sound. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I heard that. Oh
When you do it one-handed and it's magnetic instead of using a retaining pin like the original screwdriver, so
theoretically it should last functionally forever
Like Dr. Manhattan on bars A thousand years if we ever did a v2 of the main screwdriver would be so magnetic
It's gonna add cost. Yeah, is v2 gonna cost more than v1?
Maybe I don't know. I haven't decided yet. I try to get transparent to one. This v2 exists. What did I've ever heard of this?
It's a twinkling Kyle's eye
There's some things we acknowledge could be better Yes, but v1 is an excellent screwdriver that I don't believe has been surpassed in the market
The thing is the hell of a v1 as you get experience with building tools
You get you develop more skills, and then you develop a different liking to things
We did an incredible job for our first one. Yeah for what we had at the time
I think the v1 was the best we could make it, but we're better now
We're stronger faster better. You guys can make thinner walls and make more money. Oh
No, the plastics is such a small
No, no, no, I never you're talking about oh
No, I don't even think that's a cost-saving measure. I think that's just I think it's just a dumb. Yeah
I don't think it's I think they just did something weird
Cuz like if you look at the like if you look at the size of like I think it's a quadro
Security hole right it's so much smaller because that way you retain the strength of the bit. That's one from Milwaukee
I don't know what they were thinking especially because they're
Brand that trades on like the ruggedness of product, right?
They are supposed to be like a more premium brand that you know as far as being still sold at Home Depot
So you don't think but they have obviously In order to make you more scale than something I fix it
So you don't think at that scale that that thinner wall saves them a couple million
No, I don't think they're even moving a ton of volume of a precision product. I think this is like
I think this is a filling out the portfolio product I don't think that's a real product
Because these guys they want to be your one-stop shop for everything people want to get in the ecosystem
People have loyalty to brands like Milwaukee like they have loyalty to iOS or Android or Ford or Chevy or ps or Xbox
You know like it's man people about tools are like obsessive, right?
So if you don't have it, you're basically telling your ardent fans to settle for some other garbage. Yeah, right?
So I think it's actually like Specifications for security, but I can't pull it up on my phone right now
But it's possible that these exist outside of the specification, but don't quote me on that
And it's possible that that it's well within spec
Just looks like something that I would want to do. That's all I'll say in summer. Oh 111 111
113 down
Yeah, you came to a precision square pop-up you to get one I
Understand
Yeah, don't be a sheep be a leader
Funny we came from Seattle and at the border we were like we're coming to get a screwdriver and the border guy laughed at us
What's so special about this screwdriver that you can't get from the hardware store?
This one's orange on the end
Sir you're blocking the line sir you're blocking the line you're right
Sorry, you guys are a family. Yes. Oh my goodness the whole generation
Wow and how far do you guys travel be here?
Oh, wow, that's pretty cool
So you guys can spin it a little bit so that you guys got a good
So three two one spin it
I already feel mine slowing down Yeah, I'm done. I think mine's gonna go for a while. I know okay come back in five minutes guys
If anyone's compressed air in their bag right now
It's coming out The wire is crazy
Can I get a picture with you too, please? I'm such a big fan. You need me to grab your camera
There we go, thank you so much
Hold on can I see that can I see that yeah
He's copying you
Boom so I'm sorry, I just devalued your prize even more counterfeit Bell signature
You want to play the hockey game with me sure let's play the hockey game. Let's go. Oh, no
Oh, okay, I'm okay
What do you think of the pop-up? It sucked is terrible. No
I don't know what you guys are thinking to be completely honest. There's nobody here
I saw any screwdrivers. No, it's uh, it was good. I'm happy that
We didn't overplay it because there was a lot of really cool things that happened here that we didn't tell people about
Because we actually didn't want to just like completely shrek this whole area
Yeah, and it was an appropriate amount of wrecked basically there was a ton of people here
I think what I think people had a really good time because they were actually able to get through a
Tour is they actually able to get through the line by what they wanted to all that type of stuff in a reasonable amount of time
Which was great. The stream was super successful people seem to have a great time locally
I think it was all really good. It's ran really well What do you think of the vent chase you organize this it's been going really well. We we sold through
Quite a few drivers I don't have the exact number because I've been running around but like we were able to get through a lot more people than we have in
The past I think our your point of sales system worked a lot better than than before
We had like a bunch of people on it the stream went really awesome I think you were there for most of it, right? Yeah, people been checking out the screwdrivers the entire time
We got a bunch of people, you know entering our like guest the amount of bits in the jar contest
So it's been a lot of fun. It's been going really well
It's like not even it's like only one o'clock right now and things are chilling out. So it's been pretty good
All right events basically over. What do you guys think of the event overall?
So it's my first LTT event. I miss LTX last year. So yeah, it was great. I was really nice to see our customers
You don't have to meet them. Everyone was so nice
It's really good to see them so I can like the design. So it's really nice to see who I'm designing
I think the same thing. I think you know last event we had in person
Or I wasn't we had the garage sale, but I wasn't there last event that we had in person that I was there was LTX
So, you know, it's been almost over a year actually since we've been able to see people in person
It's just it's just cool like you know seeing like you see all these comments
You see all these views and stuff and you don't you know, you don't put faces through those names or whatever it might be
And you know, these events are always an opportunity to do that. So, you know, what well went smoothly
I think we might be selling too many screwdrivers. So maybe it worked too well. I don't know
Yeah, definitely because I'm more than one item
Yeah, no, it's so nice because we get immediate feedback, you know, in other in other retail or like another
You don't get to meet your customers and you're
What do you think of the event Yvonne? Honestly, pretty good. We have really good turnout and everything went really smoothly. I know I know it's boring
I'm talking about operations I know it was good meeting people. It's been a long time since we've been able to like see people
Yeah, and last one was garage so the one before that was help. Yeah, long time
Well, I didn't come to the garage sale. So I think it was even longer for me. Yeah, I
Stole the signs. So now I'm gonna get signs I
Love creative warehouse, thanks, man. My favorite warehouse was number two
It's Tammy, oh my god
I
Can I sign this as Elijah
Arianna hit record, but I got the signatures of the rest and this is it
Thank you for coming along on this journey for the pop-up as you can see we still got the stream rolling in the background
Everybody's having a great time. Thanks for watching if you haven't already bought a precision screwdriver in big case
We should buy one in the link down below leave a like
Colton look at another tattoo if this reaches 17,000
Person to screwdriver you heard it here. I'm promising. That's the end of video. Bye
