It's pretty impressive how they've sold 60,000 $70 screwdrivers in under 48 hours

  Is that expensive because it’s a way to support the channel or is it a really nice backpack?

    Mostly the latter. Or at least, it has really high design goals and is expensive to produce.

Especially since you can buy a comparable product from Amazon Basics for 14€ https://www.amazon.de/AmazonBasics-12-in-1-Magnetic-Ratchet-Screwdriver/dp/B07V5WYXP5 https://www.amazon.de/AmazonBasics-12-in-1-Magnetic-Ratchet-...

  I could grab a handful of leaves of a tree and shove it in my face hole for lunch. It would be cheaper, but I prefer a salad made of lettuce.

  Just like a 300$ dollar chromebook is a comparable product to a 2500$ Macbook Pro. Not that we really even know anything yet since the screwdriver hasn't hit consumers yet(with some small exceptions).

I think it would be nice to put up an official (or unofficial) registry for owners of this tool, they should put a serial number on it, to be able to track them. Besides the fact that IMHO a ratchet screwdriver (or more generally 1/4" bits ones) seems like very ill suited for working on computers (too bulky) usually screws on this kind of equipment are rarely very tightened and almost never (unlike in automotive/motorbike/industrial work) dirty/rusted/blocked, so chances of ruining any - if not el-cheapo, "decent" - normal ratchet screwdriver (or its bits) is near to 0. But if Wurth sells(?) one for US$ 116.60: https://www.wurthusa.com/Tools/Hand-Tools/Screwdrivers/Assortments-and-Sets/Zebra-Ratchet-Magazine-Screwdriver-%28Includes-12-Bits%29/p/06136103 https://www.wurthusa.com/Tools/Hand-Tools/Screwdrivers/Assor... at around 70 bucks this one is a steal. /s
