so -- is this a good idea?
it sits on a ledge that's part of the home, so i don't really want it to resonate throughout the house

cuz it wobbles like crazy if you go balls out-- around 2:30-3:00 when it starts printing -- under a normal print/normal print speed though, it seems stable.
I have the other printers setup like this on a coffee table in the loft, and it helped with noise, but they're not as violent as this one

damn! The racket and the shaking
I'd put rubber beneath it and two cinder blocks on top
I'm not keeping it with my poverty craftsman / snap on tools. It's purpose was more of an in the house move as needed one.
I was so disappointed with the wowstick.i have an ifixit mako and a wowstick that both came with a case
My fav was the Xiaomi Mi, but I lost the actual handle and I have too much pride to buy another one... I'm certain I'll find it eventually. It's only been missing for about 3.5 years.
Wowstick is great other than they used plastic for the mount, if that was metal I'd be happy with it, but without it, just slips away. I did order this one and am just waiting for it now

I have an older version of this:
Absolutely love it, just the right amount of torque for 3d printer stuff (per reviews it's a good bit more than a wowstick). However, it was like $60-70 on aliexpress and I wouldn't pay $120 for it.

I saw this one on reddit:Anyone have a LTT screwdriver case?
Or am i going to have to make my own
LTT Screwdriver Case by K33g4n
A case for the LTT Screwdriver which also holds 24 bits. Any 1/4" Hex bits will fit although there is some room for tweaking the part that holds the bits in place because it is slightly inconsistent on whether the bit will be too loose or too tight in the holder. I printed the base in PETG using...

I need to make one now that I have more bits for it than the handle holds
edit: the reddit reviews are turbo meh, the search continues

Hmm someone modeled the screwdriver

and another case where you can't store it with a bit in the tip

I used to spend 8 hours a day screwing screws and now I really appreciate good screwdrivers

dude is making a MINT selling these screwdrivers for $70. He's probably pocketing $50 on each one
Isn't horrible, but really don't need the bits to be removable like that. I'll probably go down that path.Hmm someone modeled the screwdriver

My LTT hasn't arrived yet. It "shipped" 12 days ago, just looked it up and UPS just received it yesterday.
Agreed.dude is making a MINT selling these screwdrivers for $70. He's probably pocketing $50 on each one
I shouldn't have bought it, but oh well. The regular "megapro" it is based off is pretty damn nice. Far better than my older ratcheting ones (kobalt & snapon).

They did have 2 engineers working on it and I think it took 3 years, so $50 each after he sold the first 50k maybedude is making a MINT selling these screwdrivers for $70. He's probably pocketing $50 on each one

I have a love hate with electric screwdrivers. They're great for disassembling something with a crap ton of screws but I would never use them for installing/tightening screws. For that I am way more comfortable with the more precise control and feel of a good manual driver. Not to mention the typical stubby shank most electric drivers come with is annoying.
All this of course only applies to small mechanical assemblies. Wood shit I'll use a screw gun all day long.

I use my impact all time disassembly and sometimes with assembly of small stuff. I keep it on the lowest setting and start by hand and finish by hand.
do it and rank emOne day I'll have to put all my screwdrivers in one picture, but I don't want to face reality that hard

I built my V2 with primarily just ball end allen keys, I've since bought a couple different styles of allen drivers and the es15. I run screws down with it and do final tightening with a regular screwdriver style driver.
But for context, the X axis has something like 30 fasteners just for rail + attaching the carriage + backers. Shit adds up

It depends on application, for PC/tinkering stuff the LTT screwdriver is #1 hands down. The effort they put into the backdrag tuning is super awesome. The spinning top is something I really like, I spent 2 years using Wiha precision drivers all day erry day so I'm super used to that being a thing. The bit storage is nice, but it doesn't make or break it for me.
For working on my car where there's some rusty ass screws and grease/oil to contend with and in general coarse threads I much prefer the snap on handles and the ratchet is more than good enough.
Wera makes my favorite handle in general, but they don't take well to chemical exposure at all, mine has accidentally gotten brake cleaned on the bench a couple times and it shows (in person anyhow)
The 'gotcha' for Wera/Gearwrench/Sata (same driver)/some other ones I've destroyed or dunno where they are is the ratchet select mechanism goes the opposite way as what the setting does (EG turn left means fastener goes right). Is that a big deal? no. Will I absolutely not pay a premium for something that does that at this point in time? yes
I really like the snap on/etc 1/4" socket system so you can use all sorts of weird tips with them, but that does introduce some slop.
The kobalt ones are really neat for banging in screws fast, but the tolerances are comically bad.
These are the ones between my office/toolbox

I love cup.
I'm curious how many of my current MIP hex drivers from my RC toolbox will be useful for the build.I built my V2 with primarily just ball end allen keys, I've since bought a couple different styles of allen drivers and the es15.

The kobalt one is trash. It just slips all the time, the feature is cool (where you grab the ring and it goes faster) but most of the time it messes up. It's in the "boats toolbag" where I don't want to have to use it, but it'll work if necessary.
The army green snap on is / has been my goto for 20 years now. I just had to pull it apart this past fall when I ordered the LTT and cleaned up the ratcheting on it. It's a shit ton better but not good by any means. It'll stay in the toolbox.
The Megapro is shit tons better than both, but really interested to see how it compares to the LTT.
