Just buy a Wera one. Won't support a rotten company, and you'll get an ~~amazing~~ okay product, and they're not hard to find. FWIW I have never seen Steinwahl available anywhere in Germany (and I have been to Hellweg, Bauhaus, Globus, Toom, Obi, and Hornbach). On the other hand, Wera is everywhere. Even in other countries. In general the choice is between Stanley, Milwaukee, Wera, and some house brand (YMMV there). So yeah, if you can find a Milwaukee, okay, but otherwise...

Edit: I watched the video. It might also help to add that I use screwdrivers for heavy duty stuff, with quite a bit of torque sometimes.

Edit 2: oof, looks like the LTT fanboys stayed, while the general public left.

Curious, why Mod here if it’s such a rotten company?

All companies are rotten / broken / corrupt, that’s step one of capitalism. What counts, at least in my opinion, is what an organisation is willing to do to admit a mistake and work towards solving it.

LTT: Goes offline, launches an investigation. Nestle: Continues enslaving poor people.

Because they didn't get exposed as rotten until last week? Are you new to this?

Nope. Capitalism with unions and without patents is actually not that bad. But we won't know, because we're too dumb to make any actual system work, be it capitalism, communism, or anything else.

You mean, not lying your way through until you get exposed badly and called out? What LMG is doing now is too little, too late.

LTT: Goes offline, launches an investigation.
Nestle: Continues enslaving poor people.

I didn't know it was a race to who's the most terrible.

Nah, but feel free to hand over the mod reigns when the thought of selling your soul to the LTT community gets too much for you.
