eBay starts the toughest screwdriver show in Germany!

eBay launches new show formats on YouTube. Above all: “ebay is looking for the super screwdriver”. At the end of the series, the winner will be voted Germany’s best screwdriver. The participants can expect tough tasks and a jury that won’t let anything get away with it! The series starts August 15th on the eBay Motors YouTube channel. Best of all: You can apply for an episode and thus have the chance to make it into the grand finale! (This is how you can apply!)

This is how the show goes

The jury consists of six absolute experts in old sheet metal, from American classic car specialists to mechatronics masters. For each program, an applicant duo competes against two of the members as opponents, the remaining four evaluate the work. The teams each get identical vehicles with identical defects and errors, which have to be found and rectified within eight hours. Who does what, how creative are the screwdrivers – and who manages the tasks at all?

Episode number one is all about the Opel Calibra. Without revealing too much: the challenge is rock hard!


Passing it will be anything but a walk in the park, because simply changing the spark plugs is not enough. Have you ever had to change the timing belt and cylinder head on an Opel Calibra V6 under time pressure? Even. Host Nils, who always intervenes when nothing works, leads through the show.

These are the jury members:

eBay’s rims, chassis, fat sound

In addition to “eBay is looking for the super screwdriver”, eBay is launching other screwdriver formats. In “Rims, Chassis, Fat Sound”, one of the experts travels through Germany and visits hobby tuners whose unique projects are in danger of failing. Be it because of a tight budget or for other reasons. The eBay host brings rims, chassis and more, the tuner has to install them within a certain period of time. If he succeeds, he may keep the parts. Otherwise it means: give it up!

Nils screws foreign

In “Nils schraubt fremd” the mechanic and “eBay sucht den Superschrauber” host visits car luminaries all over Germany. He works with classic car professionals, tuning experts and luxury sports car specialists and only learns from the best. How is he doing? How do the hosts tick? And how does a Tesla-powered vintage car or a 1919 Buick drive?

The broadcasts will start on August 15 on the eBay Motors YouTube channel.
