Collectors Tiny Blue Screwdrivers

[Cavenerd]

Thanks to @dance90 for bringing this video to my attention!



I don't know if I missed it, but I think one glaring omission is that he didn't compare these to 100% "Made in America" screwdrivers. Curious how we stack up against the Chinese "small-blue-screwdriver" industry.
'Merica!


THIS idea made me wonder what these ubiquitous little guys would look like if they were made and designed by a particular manufacturer.

For instance: Caravela would make a very limited release of screwdrivers that would match the serial number of your Vela. Choice of materials would be up to the owner but could include buckminsterfullerene, rhodium, Platinum-109, champagne Yttrium, anti-matter and copper. Waiting list is 6 months and they start at ~$500.

Yes, you did miss the Important Review of the mini blue screwdriver the first time around.

I only collect authentic, original design, little blue screwdrivers. Not cheap Chinese knock-offs. Pfffffftttt......

 

[Bunnykiller]

awwww dood... I got ripped off I never got a mini screwdriver with mine...

since Billy Mays passed on, i'm waiting for Anthony Robbins to tell me which BlueDriver ® is legit.

but i will not pay more than $19.99 + S/H and a I want a free toaster thrown in.

I'm still waiting on a red one. That would make my day.

REOmods is making a new BlueDriver. "THE SCREWIMIZER". This screwdriver has a little pump built in so that when you squeeze it, the barrel of the screwdriver will automatically rotate. They call it "SQUUing".

Drawback will be that you have to take it apart at least twice daily to clean it and it doesn't work with 99% of the screws on the market. You will have to drill out the normal screw heads to be able to use the proprietary screwdriver tip. Center-screwed...?

It also comes with two packs of the famous REO "People's temple kool-aid".

ALSO: This is an "attempt" at humor. Please don't sneak into my house and convert all my attys to bottom-feeders.

I do have one of those. I forget what it came with though.

I'll sell it to you. It's rare with a low serial number.

There is something about this guy and him reviewing the little blue screw drivers that just infuriates me. He is seriously reviewing the stupid little screw drivers?

 

[samwest]

Oh no you don't! I have the very first one, It's so rare it has no serial number.

Wait...you mean I could have a Little-Blue that looks like the warp drive from the USS Voyager?! NERD HEAVEN!

Thanks Cave, so to not feel like I have totally wasted 5:21 mins of my like I am going to order me an original little blue. Anybody want the Segelei 100watt all I want is the screw driver.

 

[iamthevoice]

I feel you guys are all being dismissive of the little blue screwdriver clone industry... Not everyone has hundreds to drop on an original, serialized little blue screwdriver ;-)

I had the same thought. Crazy? Comic genius? Who knows...?

ROTFLOL!

I order a bunch of lil' blue's from fast tech and then if I REALLY like one, I splurge for the authentic.

Think I was RIPPED, recently purchased the sigelei 100W Plus. Don't remember one of those way cool little screw drivers being in the box, what am I to do??? Oh well I guess I'll just have to dig into my collection of tiny blue screwdrivers

It could have been worse. pbusardo could have made a 55 min video review.

Oh no you don't! I have the very first one, It's so rare it has no serial number.

Prototype. Sweet.

 

[Cavenerd]

Prototype. Sweet.

Right? I heard there's a beta-version on eBay right now.

They put a spring loaded center pin in the 100 Watt Plus just so they could cheap out and not include a tiny blue screw driver.
