Overview
If you’ve spent any time watching Linus Tech Tips, you know the team puts just as much thought into their merch as they do into their builds. That’s because LTT merch isn’t just a logo slapped on a shirt - it’s designed for people who actually work with their hands. Whether you’re building a gaming rig, tweaking a server, or running cables in a custom loop, the right gear makes a difference. This year, the official store has updated its lineup with practical items that belong in any builder’s kit. Let’s look at what’s worth picking up in 2026.
Details
The LTT Screwdriver - Still the Go-To
The LTT Screwdriver has been a staple since its launch, and for good reason. It’s magnetic, ratcheting, and comes with a bit set that covers every screw in a standard PC case. If you’re tired of dropping screws into your power supply, this tool is a game-changer. The 2026 version features a slightly longer handle for better torque, and the bits are now stored in the handle. At $79.99, it’s an investment, but one that pays off every time you swap a GPU.
Build-Focused Apparel
Let’s be real: you’re going to spill thermal paste on something. LTT’s cotton T-shirts ($29.99) are thick and durable, with prints like the “Labs” logo or the iconic “Spare a Watt?” design. The hoodies ($69.99) have a fleece lining that’s warm but not bulky - perfect for long nights in a cold basement. For builders who want pockets, the vest ($89.99) includes zippered compartments for holding screws and small tools. None of these are “gamer” gear; they’re workwear that happens to look good at a LAN party.
Desk Essentials
Custom PC builders spend hours at their desks, so LTT’s desk pads are a solid choice. The large mousepad ($39.99) is stitched and water-resistant, big enough for a keyboard and mouse. There’s also the cable management kit ($29.99), which includes velcro straps and adhesive clips that actually stick. Both items feature subtle LTT branding - enough to show you’re in the know, but not loud.
Limited-Edition Drop: 2026 Summer Soldering Station
This July, the store released a limited run of thermal paste applicator pads and a custom soldering iron stand. The soldering stand, at $49.99, is machined aluminum and holds the iron at the perfect angle for PCB work. It’s only in stock until August, so if you’re planning a custom loop or a keyboard build, grab one now.
Why This Matters Now
With the launch of LTT Labs’ latest video on thermal paste application (July 2026), there’s renewed interest in builder tools. The store has responded by restocking the screwdriver and introducing the soldering stand. If you’re putting together a new PC this summer, these items save time and frustration.

FAQ
How does the LTT Screwdriver compare to iFixit kits?
The LTT Screwdriver focuses on a single high-quality driver with a ratchet mechanism, while iFixit kits include multiple bits and handles. If you want a fast, one-tool solution for PC building, the LTT driver is excellent. For precision electronics work, an iFixit kit might be better.
What’s the return policy on LTT merch?
The store accepts returns within 30 days of delivery for unworn, unwashed items. Tools like the screwdriver have a limited warranty against defects. Check the store’s terms for details.
Are there any discounts for bundle purchases?
Occasionally, the store runs sales - like the current summer clearance (July 2026). Signing up for the newsletter gives you early access to drops and bundle deals. There’s no permanent bundle, but buying a shirt with a desk pad saves on shipping.
What sizes are available for apparel?
T-shirts and hoodies come in XS to 4XL. The vest runs S to 3XL. Sizing charts on each product page offer measurements.
Is the soldering stand still available?
The 2026 Summer Soldering Station is a limited release. As of July 23, 2026, it’s still in stock, but quantities are low. Once it sells out, it likely won’t return until next year.
If you’re looking for something connected to building your own PC, the LTT Screwdriver is a good place to start. - -
