Titan we have a thing for you. Oh, really? Open it up. Oh, that's got some weight
LTT and Nice, okay
Well before we get to that Just a small bag of machine parts. Holy moly
It's like a solid machined brass
Shaft Thank goodness. All right, I'm just gonna
Holy moly. Now do you have more of an idea of what's going on here? Yeah, I have a pretty pretty good idea at this point
certainly Some nice machining work from whoever put this together and some ever so slightly destroyed
components from our driver which fair enough in 3d printed parts a
bunch of internal components Oh
Some attempts for a bit holder and end cap sub assembly
Including some nice machining grooves My guess is an attempt at an end cap
Solidly machined on a lathe. It's pretty good. Although parting that off would be an adventure
Well speaking of parting it off there would be another attempt
Whoever this is was definitely able to figure out most of the important components of it and at least
Seems to be doing a fairly good job of replicating a good number of them
If you open up the screwdriver box, you'll also find some more notes from whoever sent me
It's fine, it's fine. Everything is fine. Jeez. This is heavy too. Ah
All right. Well, so we got some nice Karen handling instructions. We all know what to do with this
Oh my god, but not actually. This is one of the times I will actually read it through. Oh
Okay
Lots of pieces of paper
This machinist did some brass plating of some stainless steel to get the stiffness that they wanted while also getting the look that
I'm assuming they were going for which is Pretty cool does look like they have
At least to some extent or another reverse engineered the ratchet. Let's give it an open
So the first one that comes up oh my gosh is
The solid brass version
It does work This is the coated section that they were talking about where they mentioned to not polish it too much as the coating may come off over time
How's that ratchet feel? I mean not as good, but it's it's got a click to it for sure. It feels it's
It's a lot finer of a ratchet
Like the steps are smaller
But it it finds up a little bit just one off tolerances
This
This is monstrously heavy brass is a very heavy metal and this
This thing is a is a bludgeoning weapon for sure
Jeez, but what are your overall thoughts? Oh, it's super cool
The lack of the bit clip is a bit sad, but that is
Legitimately quite hard to do the second reveal. Oh
Oh geez
I see a separate piece
It's a little hard to open up. Okay They did it on this one
That's pretty impressive
The mirror the mirror finish on it is pretty spectacular as well
I think they reused one of our shafts, but gave it a mirror polish
Yes, although not recommended it can be fully disassembled please contact for disassembly instructions
So, yeah, this would be at least some of the internal components of our driver based on that. Oh, the end caps hard to open
Aha Okay, so they have a slightly different mechanism in the back as well
Unlike our driver which uses a piece of injection molded plastic in a spring to hold the bit clip in
They used a magnet and a piece of steel. It's very clever and it works really well
Also simplifies not having an injection molding shop in your backyard
How's it compared to your metal screwdriver here?
It's a lot this is a lot heavier. I have a feeling a good chunk of the inside of this is
Actually, I think this entire thing might just be stainless. Yeah, so I suspect this entire driver is stainless steel
Whereas a good chunk of this is made out of aluminum with some brass
so this is probably Two to three times heavier than this metal driver
Which is again like two times heavier than our normal driver, but this is a this is a work of art
For sure me and the engineering team are looking forward to taking it apart and seeing how they made all of these work
100% going to contact for disassembly. I am far too curious to not
Currently I think this one is Cooler that being said if I took both of them apart
I have a feeling my opinion would change and I'd want to see
This more I suspect this would be cooler because it seems as though they've reworked
More of the overall mechanism whereas this was trying to
Take our design and give it a reskin. These were sent to us by I apologize in advance
But these are fantastic and And
Yeah, I look forward to being able to take either or both of these apart if it's possible
We're here with the engineering team to unbox this fun little ticket
Perhaps Oh, it's heavy. It's very heavy
That one's stainless the ratchet size
The two ratchets are very different. It's way too good to fit on this
Air pressure as I push it in. I wasn't expecting the notches to go in
And they're sharp also How does it screw on?
Yeah
Speaking of real fine threads It's almost playing with magnets in the end cap. That's
Yep Yep, so that's how they close it down. They say uh contact us for breakdown instructions
So I will be doing that shortly I want to see the insides of these
It's not consistent They did say that
It was a manufacturing defect
Which fair enough you've already compared it to ours, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Is this a soft closing bit storage?
It's like soft closing girls on a car air pressure. Yeah. Yeah, pretty much
My intrusive You could yeah, you could definitely hurt something. I did the same thing. I'm like, oh boy. This thing is
Such a freaking weapon. You think this is game pass tsa? No
