Not sure if it's been brought up here... But on their newest video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cTpTMl8kFY) They don't address this at all. And if you try to bring it up in the comments, they get deleted/purged. Pretty shady to actively go out and censor this. Not a good look for LMG at all.

I've made purchases from their store... I get asked all the time about the screwdriver and backpack. Now I feel like shit for supporting them. Now the conversation will need to have a caveat everytime.. "It's a good product... but the company is a toxic ". And that's just sad.

I'll just have to take the purchase as an opportunity to be an "anti"-ambassador of sorts. Might even lend more credit to my statements. "He bought their shit and still dislikes the company" kind of means more than "That person just hates LTT".

Yeah, I agree. It's one thing they don't address it in this video, I think that makes sense. But the fact that they are deleting comments about it just shows that they haven't learned their lesson and makes them so hard to trust.
