😁👍🏻😁👍🏻😁👍🏻
kinda disappointed in the writing team for including the lamp by Giertz. I just think it was a product clearly marketed as something bespoke & handmade, as so many things from her shop are. But Linus' price estimation (predictably & reasonably) came from a place of mass-production. the result is it receives a lower score, but that's a reflection of a mismatched scale and Linus' own personal taste. and damn, I just can't help empathizing with a creator like Giertz watching this review and feeling pretty publicly dismissed by someone who just.. couldn't be further from the product demographic. That was a bad product to ask linus to review blind.
To put this more bluntly: koodos to the writing team for pitching a format where the basis for linus' blind react is him admitting he doesn't pay attention to the selected creators. …all of whom were framed as being in his own genre.
the model really falls apart when the products in question are just so far out of the Creator Warehouse's own verticals. (To wit, bespoke, handmade-makers really should not be on this list because it just feels like disproportionately impersonal analysis of a product which is marketed on it's personal touch.)
SmithBlade Pro is S tier, comeon.
Hire me Linus and I’ll sort the phasing issues out
The smith blade may be expensive, but compared to anything else with similar materials and functionality, its really not that bad. Im still waiting on mine, im very excited.
$400 for a fast deploy tripod is a steal. A standard Manfrotto is $300 on sale and those are cumbersome.
fyi you can get a wireless bbq thermo for less than $40…
Simone Giertz is swedish. her last name is pronounced more like "Yetch"
Frame not mentioned => Frame confirmed!!!
Lower price of backpack!
Uff, for most of the items I wouldn't pay more than 1/10th od the asking price. And the drill holder is prime example. That thing is something you can find in $1 store.
And the multitool knive I really liked, but the price is also too much.
Does Regulation Podcast know about this hat? This seems right up their alley.
equips bias spotting magnifying glass
I would say pretty much all of this stuff is insanely expensive. You can't just make something really neat, it has to be something people buy and that much for a multi-tool or a thermometer?? Yes, they're interesting, but they dont add anywhere near that much more functionality compared to something infinitely cheaper.
Pretty sure simone's name is pronounced "yetch" but i have not watched one of her videos in a minute. I used to watch 'tested' a lot more back when
Linus Flakes sounds like a sub species of Dandruff.
The videos appear to worsen from week to week. Not long ago, everyone was a banger. Now im happy if one in a month is okay ish… Once you was a tech YouTuber you you are a merch reviewer wtf… 😢
Do grills have coating 14:46?
I'm one of the backers for the Smithblade and I'm still waiting for mine to show up. Supposedly because I chose the "non-locking" option, mine will be delayed until after all the regular ones have been made but it's still a bit frustrating at the lack of transparency on that front as I had to get that information from their chatbot on their website instead of from the Kickstarter updates.
If you need money for jet fuel, just ask.
14:59 Missing the whole metal scraper on top that is for getting in there
4:38 we don't "still use glass bottles" in Germany. We use glass bottles. They way it's said there implies a level of obsoleteness, which just isn't true.
Glass bottles are objectively superior to plastic bottles in every way except the weight. Which is why companies don't like using them anymore, they're cheap and want to save the half cent shipping glass costs more. That's all.
We should be returning to glass bottles for everything, it's significantly better for the environment
10:35 sorry but isnt that pretty basic these days
7:15 LTT Drill confirmed
what exactly do you think those metal hooks are for that you never show using on the smarter grill brush?
Stanley already already makes the storage container with removable trays. I noticed you didn't say the price so I looked them up. The Tboxx is 120.00, the Stanley is 26.00
Hey! I usually watch until the end credits I'll have you know
Now we know why ltt doesn't have a cooking channel. Rip that steak.
I think you're supposed to use the scrubber with water, while the grill is hot
In regard to the multitool, that isn't quite as much as some of the more expensive options out there, but that's still high (especially since it doesn't have pliers lol).
The multitool market sort of reminds me of the watch market in that the prices range from like 10 bux to almost $400 lol.
Coldones did it first
The thermometer was probably my least impressive pick. I do grill a lot, and wireless thermometers are not uncommon, and most of them don't cost hundreds of dollars. You could make the argument that this one is better, but I would argue spending 5x more on a product that is MAYBE 2% better is not convincing. Besides, I rarely use a thermometer.
There are like 10 different remote thermos that do the exact same thing for less than 250
I might just buy the hat. Stick a pencil on there, an LED light on the brim, screwdriver with some bits. Tinker Hat!
4:58 That's not too bad for a knife of that quality and that many extras. My current EDC is a Benchmade knife that cost about the same and doesn't have any of the other useful gadgets.
I believe there is a Seinfeld episode where Jerry attempts to convince everyone that he owns a 'man bag' and not in fact a Purse… Linus, that is a Purse. lol
You were in Germany? For what?
This is to show that LTT merch is still the best out there.

🤔 I guess that only applies to CW products then?
i thought the camera stand was a bike pedal at first
I'm impressed that the thermometer even manages to get a signal to the base station. it's basically stuck in a faraday cage.
Also a bit disappointed you skipped Technology Connections.
Glas Bottles rule!!!
Wait till Linus finds out you can buy a wireless thermometer for $30
Kofi making an appearance! I think he used to film for Will Tennyson
