I got an iFixit Mako set for less than 60 or 70 USD on a Black Friday sale a couple of years ago. Should I get this screwdriver instead, or is the Mako set suffice? AFAICT the Mako set is better bang for the buck, but I don't know the pros and cons of this LTT screwdriver.

You can't really get it instead, you already have the other. Does it do what you want at a quality point you require? Is that worth selling at a heavy loss (eBay suggests £30 for a quick sale)? Are they even comparable products? The Mako looks like an ⅛" driver for small and odd security bits.

A smooth low-backlash ratchet is the USP. Conscious decisions about materials. I can't speak to your requirements.

Other people can buy the iFixit Mako [1] set instead of this screwdriver though. Perhaps not for the same price I did (I got the Pro Tech Toolkit on sale instead which contained the Mako set). It also includes Torx which the LTT one lacks.

I ended up buying the LTT one to reduce clutter with a bunch of my current 'normal' screwdrivers, but the end price was about 110 EUR with tax and S&H. Which is rather expensive if you ask me.
