On: Our screwdriver took three years [video]

[SeanLuke]

A screwdriver that fits custom bits. In an industry that has standardized bit design. This seems set up for failure. I understand the reason they did it. It's not a good reason.

It fits standard bits. The bit loader holds standard long bits, just 6 instead of 12…

People are clearly commenting without actually watching the video.

I watched it but missed this somehow.

You must have not watched the whole thing. There's a "ninja star" (they call it) which when turned allows it to store (fewer) standard bits.

[whermans → SeanLuke]

Shorter bits, but with an industry-standard diameter. You can use third-party bits.

[compsciphd → SeanLuke]

no, it fits standard bits, the length of the bits is smaller so it can hold more in its internal carry. there's a difference.
