Hey, we snuck a joke into this video that in retrospect was too sneaky. Thumb drives like the one shown at 06:36 are scams, and we should have made that abundantly clear. Thumb drives with capacity this high don't exist, so don't buy them! Here's some links to products that aren't scams though:

Thank you!

I really like the transparency of the sponsor and also the use of the lab to validate the sponsors claims.

[hugodeziel]

I love the disclosure at the end, it makes me so much more confident when we know they were vetted by your team! There's so much junk on Amazon these days, having those recommendations helps a lot!

[TheXshot]

I usually hate these "cool tech under certain amount" type of videos, but I'm pleasantly surprised how useful and actually quite unique these ones featured in the video are!

[willdillon]

That disclosure section was awesome. It didn't outstay it's welcome, it contained everything we needed to know, it didn't feel forced or like you were sidestepping any information and it demonstrated that clarity in short-mid form review/reccomend content is not difficult, and that more people should aspire to be this open and transparent.

[Metal_Maxine]

Well done on bringing back "tech under $100" and keeping the "disclosure" section! A lot of people wouldn't be so honest about how they get their "random" stuff.

[ArrowStudios]

Never lose the transparency, its what makes us viewers/consumers feel like we matter cause you keep us in the know whether we need to know or not. A+

[vwoop]

Can't believe I'm just now finding out about the Pinecil after dropping about $20 on a poorly made iron with no temperature settings from my local hardware store.

[Sketh]

The transparency in this video is 👌 never stop please. This is why you guys are a cut above most.

[DDRPriest]

I've used the Pinecil weekly for over a year and it's held up great. It really is a fantastic piece of tech for super cheap. It doesn't come with a power supply so you'll have to source that. I had an old laptop charger that fit perfectly and gave me the highest available power to the Pinecil. I highly recommend it for anyone needing to solder, especially on the go. I use it for arcade machines where a soldering station simply isn't feasible. Great product.

[darrylransier]

The fact you have a disclosure at the end puts you leagues above any other content creator. Thank you for creating such an incredible company/channel!

[Scoops_exe]

We've returned to the promised land. Please don't stop doing these again.

[yupimrandy]

I'm loving how much Linus we've been seeing recently, and this is even before the new CEO officially comes in.

[AureaisChannel]

"He has no beard" That line didn't age well

[taggerung]

I love these! As a techie, it's not always easy keeping up with all the gadgets and gizmos, or even know how they truly perform, so it's nice to hear someone vouch for them

[Jaaxfo]

I've had the Pinecil for years, I I cannot overstate how useful it is. Even if you have a powerful soldering iron already, it can be worth getting because of its inherent portability

[dreiback]

The soldering iron is probably one of the best gift to people who have to solder sometimes

[carrotwine]

LABS is only starting to do it's job but i already love it. Can't wait for more trusted testing of just about EVERYTHING

[ShredderNAlt]

Here to vouch for the Pinecil. Bought it for work a few months ago and having a portable soldering iron running off of a battery bank in your pocket is a luxury I hope I don't have to live without anytime soon. It's You're not going to be throwing out your main station by any means, but the price to performance ratio is incredible. If you think you'll like it, then I can almost guarantee you will.

[TheMstwntdLMSV]

Thank you for showcasing genuinely useful products and not just peddling e-waste. I’ve needed a soldering iron for a while and I’m so glad I saw this. I’m definitely picking up a PINECIL
