Thankyou

I like to hear about the people doing business there, as here in the states we can only wish for a electric heaven like that. I end up buy lots of stuff off eBay from there.

Hey pls reply i have a suggestion.

oh, really. since I'm in China near Shenzhen, could you tell me what electronic do you usually need?

You could try to build a laptop from parts. How you did with the iphone.

I was just about to write that LOL

they work together to break the law

Nice video!!

exactly...Scotty encourages stealing of intellectual property to of all people a Chinese person. This is abominable. @@kabalu

Arnold Winters I don’t think it’s illegal to reverse engineer and make your own product. Every manufacturer will buy its competitors product to test it and break it down, figure out what it does well and how it can be improved. If it’s not patented (not that patents matter much in China), then they can pretty much copy it all.

Yeah, but only the native English/American/Australian ....etc. get to be lazy and not learn another language their whole life :)))) I grew up with 4 languages: Hungarian, Romanian, English and German... not so easy ...

@@Poxenium ...Quite an exagerration...

And yet you write that in English, instead of my other 3 languages, thus proving my point :))))

@@Poxenium English is my second language :)

@@Poxenium You're right. I'm a native English speaker trying to learn German. When I'm in Germany I try my best, but often the Germans just say "I speak English. Just speak English." It shames me.

Really liked seeing the interaction

@@tcf214 for some reason here in China and also many other countries, the expectancy on your life and career is highly associated to your family. This man worked so hard without vacation even without sleep to become a business owner. Their striving spirit is truly affecting.

@@funbien It's most definitely inspiring.

Oh,yourEnglish and Chinese are also great!

The entrepreneurial spirit aka ripping off designs of other entrepreneurs and selling it cheap :D

@@dextermorgan2353 sure that happens and is a problem, but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about hard working people that decide to take a huge risk by quitting their (usually horrible) jobs and pursue their dream and open their own business, like in this case. Jack Ma can be a perfect example of that. that is inspiring, at least to me

@@dextermorgan2353 Well, obviously you think everything foreign made is designed from USA (assumption with your attitude) then what did the US bring to the world? in reality, not brought from foreign engineers!!!

You forgot something Those "entrepreneurial spirit" IS The one that once Built the USA to became what IS today. back in the past when all sort of regulations isn't exist yet to hinder it progress every single person doing things that they assume will gives them wealth. and some times(most) is in quite unmannerly ways. but then along with the time the once "Hey that's works lets do it like them and sell them cheaper" will become "Hey let's do things different from the others and charges it a little bit more to make profits" then comes along all sort regulations that benefited those that already "established" as "producers" and shackles those that want to follows their paths. keep in mind that at those Era the existent of another Super Power that complaining about how it runs is completely none. compares today world, you've got EU and USA ready to sanctioning anyone that want to walk down the History in order to catch up with them.

@@vgcamara haha just wait for few months before you see Chinese made copies of that expensive screwdriver 😂

Yes!👍🏼

TOKYO couldn't make a screwdriver that good.

Wait what where?

Really now...

Sarcasm people!

sad, but truth is it happens every day in China and a lot of times because of situations just like this.

@@macgyver9134 At least the chinese would have the decency to add a Li-Ion battery.

yup,absolutely,Set higher expectations for yourself ,demand more of you than you think you are capable of,you can do it and more.

Actually the cataclysmic event almost happened at 0:53 seconds... Luckily he told the guy he was filming 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝

Never leave a bro hanging!

Due to cultural differences... it happens, we laugh it off and move on...

Came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed

@@Gilllionaire same XD

Wei Zhang I’m in Canada but I work freelance pretty much 7 days a week, sometimes I work all day. It doesn’t feel like a job, I love what I do. I figure it is a good time in my life to work hard and then hopefully when I’m older, I will be in a position where I can choose when I want to work and only work on projects I enjoy.

Exactly what I thinked as soon as he said he wanted to make his own screwdrivers, I hope he want it to see what make it ticks, and improve it instead of make a cheap clone

True.

Are there export restrictions for these items destined for China? Why couldn't the guy get the screwdriver shipped from the US?

@@atubebuff That's what I as thinking.

Now we all get $200 screwdrivers, for just $10

Yeah, 😂😂😂 that's would be $4

Lmao. So true 😂

Ok, so you will be screwing not only the phones, but the whole industry and the people over. Because they invented something, put a high price tag for quality and also because of the invention So there will be no point for small individual companies, which actually have the most ideas, to bring something innovative to the world

@@Godofhel1 I can't afford shit from small innovative companies

@@Godofhel1 Yeah, but that's what China does. Business as usual. Anyone that invents anything knows they only have a limited time before China starts making their versions.

Nerd

Eyyy pinoy!

Racist

No these are fake ones. And even us know the difference.

Amazon has these screwdrivers for $174, and another brand that seems to have torque settings and such for $69. I'm guessing it won't be long before there are high quality ones for under $50.

I mean it's an electric air screwdriver nothing outstanding other than how it controls the rotation direction, the guy seemed more interested in the quality of the metal bits

@@pheonixinflames485 definitely. the best screwdriver bits for phone repair I know of so far are 潜力创新 QianLi‘s bits. I don't trust those “automatic" tools lol

Zhaoxun Yan wooosh

Welcome to Shenzhen!

@@StrangeParts I had no idea, as you said it acutaly seems like the place to be self employed. So much to see and learn... belive it not but i just extended my stay here for 2 more nights than initialy planned. You are my insperation to make the trip and this is literaly the best place i have been to by far. So thank you for this!

Awesome, glad you're enjoying it! It's a very cool place.

I live near the border on HK side and have headed into SZ a couple of times, I still need to hit the places Scotty features. Ar.

I drool over the stuff that I've seen in the markets during your videos Scotty. I'm quite frankly rubbish at soldering and stuff, but I admire how you seem to keep going even if something fails, I'm nothing like that.

Michel when screwdriver is that small the metallurgy is not super important.. he got scammed in my opinion, $200 for that is kinda ridiculous. I would understand on larger screwdriver where there is alot of torque

@@greenthizzle4 Quite the opposite actually. Large screw drivers have a lot of supporting material to keep things rigid. Precision drivers like these have shafts that need to reach into tight areas and are basically needle thin, and have to withstand many pounds of pressure being put on them. Slightly too hard and they will snap like toothpicks, slightly to soft and the bend like a paper clip. Large drivers can have many times more defects in the metal without issue.

@@Oleg-oe1rc Agree, in the hands of a well trained person this is useful, but I used pressure screwdrivers bought from normal shops 10 years ago. Your household battery screwdriver has the same tech. Just this is more definitive. I don't reckon it's new tech/patent. It's just getting smaller/better. That's life.

If it was made from tungsten, or titanium would be nice... For durability... that is quite important but kinda not that useful and when opening alot of screws this comes in handy

I guess a fair part of its value goes to the metal and quality of its bits.

@@weihe28 Um, no, probably 1% of the price is wholesale raw materials and another maybe 2% manufacturing, the other 97% is just pure profit...aka a ripoff aimes at rich Americans who didn't sweat to earn their money.

@@jovangrbic97 Maybe from the 200$ price they also spent a lot in research and development making prototypes and all. The Chinese just bought one and copied the design.

kevin who?

I was very nervous but phew

Especially Hong Kong where people live in tiny apartments smaller than a parking space. And not because there is a lack of space in Hong Kong (only 30% of the area is built, rest is forest, but owned by the Chinese state)

@@Hvantmiki hmm. Why wasn't that forest developed by the British during the 100+ years they "owned" it? It's not like the population just now exploded.

Johan Abdullah Holm HK was returned in 1997, and the real estate was already expensive back then. The first head of HK after 1997 had a social plan called “85K”, planning to build affordable housing in Hk. After part of that was accomplished, many Hkers started to be against it as they owm properties already and the property prices were going down due to this housing project. Hence the rest of the plan was abandoned as the government “gave in” to these people’s complaints. I suggest getting the fact straight and learning a bit more on the topic before commenting

Karl Lundblad of course he is happy. the american guy just bought him a 200 dollar screwdriver that he is going to reverse engineer and then mass produce and make a ton of money and potentially put an american company out of business..

@@ryanc1862 Would it make any difference too you if you found out this tool was manufactured in Pretoria, South Africa, doesn't have a registered patent, nor is the name Gtool® a registered trademark. Since you seem to be confused with your place in the world, try to understand that the USA manufactures next to nothing anymore but these limited thing. Cars, guns, bombs, entertainment and overconfidence.

Is nothing sacred anymore? lol

As a watch enthusiast, yes screw drivers are incredibly important

he's probably going to reverse engineer it, china has a huge market for knock-offs and counterfits

comparing it with someone who like collecting shoes, bags, cars or jewelry this 200 Bucks is nothing..

nice one @@ChozoSR388

I bet there is a high percentage of children getting into electronics very early in that part of China because it's so readily accessible in the open to them. With that open attitude they will have many more skilled workers.

He must do a lot of coke because that's a shovel of a finger nail

@@Alex-th1ji Wrong finger! He probably uses it for hooking the tops of 1.7 mm screws out from boards

Yep and make affordable for everyone

@@andyflint3585 At its inventors expense.

@@UKWEED I wouldn't roll $200 for that thing. The Chinese saves the world once again from rediculous prices

Ha!! I knew I seen this before. 🙊

And maybe the ES121 too, though it's a bit more pricey.

Wowstick is crap, doesn't have nearly enough torque. ES120/ES121 is where it's at.

@@KonstantinUb The bits on the one in this vid look much longer (better) that those two alternatives. I have cheap Poundland (not powered) screwdrivers that came bits that look like those ES120 ones - too short to get into those plastic channels. Not saying its worth 200 - but it is a noticeable first difference.

I legit thought that name was a joke, loool

The wowstick ain't the best...but for the price, I might excuse

I have to say that is a normal one. Not bad but nothing special. Sending this msg from Redmi K20 pro.

Sounds like Scotty needs to point him in the direction of metal tempering (hardering) if he is looking for "hard' screwdriver heads. I dont know if you can temper existing screw driver heads because of warping. I do know that a lot of places do not do it because it costs more to grind harder steel than softer steel.

@@chrislinda3623 Yes that is exactly what happens. Or they don't use hardened steel. But there is a much much bigger market to the whole thing that they don't know about yet

@@feelinghealingfrequences7179 just to name a few ( not all are relevant here): abom79, This Old Tony, Saunders Machine Works, John Grimsmo(he made me think of this. With the knives he sells he includes a bit so you can maintain your knife, and he gets it directly from the manufacturer.)

There's more machinists and toolmakers in China than anywhere else in the world 😁 the thing is... factory owners in China practically have a fetish for foreign tools. Partially because most of what tool factories in China produce is made as cheaply as possible for export. At the higher end of tools there are some decent companies in China now, but for screw driver bits most factories will just buy PB swisstools (or, if it's nothing critical... a big box of the cheapo Chinese ones and replace as needed).

lol, he is in shenzen, the builder capital of the world. He will get this cloned, it is an inevitability. For all we know, it is made in china and he will track the manufacturer down.

I have I screwdriver just like that. It's a dewalt model DCF682N. You turn your wrist left or right.im wondering if the one they were using your supposed to just turn it left or right.
