Especially since you can buy a comparable product from Amazon Basics for 14€

> Foremost is the knurling on the shaft. It's additional machining for an essentially useless addition.
Calling that "engineering" seems like a stretch. Unnecessary cost maybe, but it's not a unique feature to the LTT driver by any means. Heck, the $13 Amazon Basics driver has a knurled shaft ( https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-12-in-1-Magnetic-Ratchet... ). So calling it useless also seems like a leap. It lets you turn the shaft directly, using it more like an (also knurled) ifixit driver.
> All the hullabaloo about torque strength for the relevant use cases also seems overdone.
I think you misunderstood that. They didn't brag about having high torque, they were instead saying that the super low back drag they obsessed over (the best that project farm tested, fwiw) didn't kill the ability to handle torque.
