EVERYTHING is sold out on the website.
@@happykt go to indiegogo for preorder
@@othername1000 oops!
I preordered mine this morning and I’m super excited for it
What do we get in the first order pack ?
I love being a part of a community where a guy gets that excited about a scissor cutting a string 😁👌
But but...it was awesome!!!
So do I! I get a joyous jolt out of his effervescing over the Goat Tool.
Clearly you haven't cut dyneema before lol that and technora are beast mode lol
I was looking exactly for a comment about that
Yepp its was pretty awesome to cut that string!! I'd be excited too!!
Thanks for the review. I love my Surge and Swiss tool but this Goat tool is definitely a game changer. Hopefully wakes Leatherman up to recomiting to innovation and quality.
Even Leatherman Garage didn’t come up with anything near to this.
@@mingshey Leatherman won't do this. They'll lose money if they did because the customer will end up buying one leatherman with multiple and varied implements vs buying several leatherman tools that are specialized each costing upwards of 50-125 dollars.
Wishful thinking . LM stopped caring about its user and collective base a longtime ago. As a LM user since 1984 with the pst I have high hope for the goat tool and wish them nothing but success and hopefully other manufacturers will follow them 🙏
Made in the USA?
@@mingshey That's because they didn't sing, "Nearer My Garage To Thee."
It is 22:30 right now in my country. My kids finally fell asleep. I am tired and need to go to bed so that I can wake up early in the morning to go to work. When suddenly this video pops up. I have waited for months, years possibly for your first impressions and overall review of the Goat tool. Now I can't fall asleep and need to watch this :D :D.
Get some sleep! It will be here in the morning lol
The modularity of this multi-tool kick a$$. This opens doors for third party implements and I really like that.
Can't wait to see more about it! Thank you
This jumps straight to the top of the list for my next multi-tool purchase. Great scissors, non proprietary bit holder and fixings, chose your blade type (locking/non locking) or chose no blade at all. Great quality materials and construction, it ticks all the boxes for me. BTW, I'd use the bit holder with 50mm impact style bits which will give better reach/extension.
This could become the Small Block Chevy of Multitools.
50 mm is th1/4 "?
@@patrickbledsoe2176 he means 50mm/2” length, the bits are still 1/4” wide
@@thezoomguys385 Noooo. Slant 6!
GODDAMN IT! I literally screamed "What!?!" excitedly when you pulled that craft knife out of the tool and used it in hand by itself. This is an absolute game changer. If they weren't already on notice because of the Chinese clones, then Leatherman must open their eyes now.
This multitool just shattered the mold and replaced the industry IMO. I'm buying one as soon as they become available. I'm kicking myself and I really wish I hadn't slept on the original funding campaign.
Link in Description to indiegogo preorder
Just imagine being able to use a knife this way on an object that you are holding with the pliers themselves! The possibilities and usefulness of this multitool are so much extended by this!
The only logical thing to do next is a whole removable folder with a handle in some supersteel.
Like a mini Spyderco with thin titanium liners.
They have to be very thin so that people dont carry them separately all the time.
A 100 year warranty is only good if the company is in business that long. I have Craftsman lifetime tools that are no longer made or warranted because the company (Sears) essentially no longer exists. Nice gimmick, but it shouldn't be a main buying point.
Lowe’s still carry’s craftsman and select small hardware stores do to aswell as also honoring the warranty
I remember reading on reddit a while back. Dude said he had a box of “lifetime warranty” products of companies that didn’t exist anymore.
Yeeeep, hyper long warranties are unrealistic and probably a con.
Why use a company that's been around for 100 years as an example of a 100 year warranty being a gimmick 🤦♂️
Innovation you say? Well then we all know Leatherman had nothing to do with it! 🤣 Especially after giving specs on available blade steels! This looks way better than I expected for a first round design! Even if they don't evolve the frame in the future, base tools like the file could easily be upgraded and swapped out without extreme measures... This definitely opens up a whole new dimension for multitool design 👍
THIS is the direction Leatherman should have gone when they released the Free series. Full modularity easily done by the end user without the risk of voiding warranty. THAT would have been freeing, not freaking magnets! lol They could have even kept the good sized and nicer quality tools of the Rebar/Wave/whatever style tools and not dumbed them down to Wingman/Sidekick level like they did with the Free stuff.
Hopefully this will be the competition Leatherman needs to give them a good kick in the pants to actually innovate again.
Leatherman just might still....
To be fair they do innovate, but they don't seem to go to the right direction for a lot of stuff. I mean they make some more gimmcky stuff at times and expensive as well
No, keep the magnets. That is one of the best features of the Free.
Leatherman is probably just a small part of a bloated marketing machine. Companies look to what everyone else is doing which is instrumentalism instead of real innovation and the building of a true standardized platform out of fear that standardization will destroy profits which in the long run is a possibility.
@@pcofranc Actually platforms can evolve, and they can be made with different kind of modularity.
Also they can think of new tools and tinker around their form factor.
For example designing two tools, one who is based on a screwdriver handle and the other one with a plier based one.
The handle for exemple will take saw blades, screwdriver blades, 1/4 hex drive 1/4 square drive, files, wood scissors, brushes, push pull manual drill (mostly for wood and plastic)
The pliers will have modular plier heads that can be swapped, so you can get pliers for différent jobs like the screw pliers in various forms, cutting pliers with cable cutters, then modular knife slots so you can get 4 modular main blades with normal knife blades, serrated, electrician, scalpel, utility knife, thin multi wrench, thin wrench set, a couple of modular minitools like a hook, a reamer and scraper, can opener, etc...
Even if there is missing tools like hammer, scissors, pry tools or probably an additionnal tool that includes these three, I think there is some strong potential...
Dude I was lmao over how excited you got over the scissors, but they do look very impressive and the whole tool looks very well thought out. Hopefully this might encourage Leatherman to up their game a bit.
Just made an order. It probably won't become a go-to for me, but I want to see the concept flourish.
As an electrician that does strictly remodels this is an absolute essential tool. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx0vyBwjtx9GGOuiqUVT2sRoYqmDoNT_RI Being able to precision cut any material with a light weight tool is priceless.I upgraded to this Dewalt 20v from a competitor's 12v. The Dewalt 20v is just as light as the competitor's 12v. I am extremely pleased with the overall performance and battery life of this tool. As far as oscillators go, they just aren't very ergonomic tools. The dewalt oscillators have an offset handle that do make them somewhat more ergonomic than the competitors' oscillators.
I do think they are amazing for certain applications. One of the ones that jumps to my mind is as the heart of a toolkit for a motorcycle customized to all of the fasteners for that bike.
Simply wow. A true innovation. Looking forward to following the company. When it hits full retail, I'm interested.
Can’t wait for mine. I ordered one through the original Kickstarter and another later on Indiegogo with most if not all the upgrades minus the bronze scales. I hope the Kickstarter one arrives soon so I can give it a test drive. This video helped me to not purchase another G10 Charge since Sportsman’s has them on sale for the same price as a Wave right now.
Extremely interesting concept and very well executed. This is what the multitool community always wanted and surely points the way forward from now on.
This rarely happens for me, but once I saw what this tool is capable of, I had the biggest impuls buy in my life haha. First time preordering something from indiegogo and I really hope I won't regret it. Thanks for the video and the introduction to this awesome multitool!
I think your going to be ok, Michael really wants this thing to work
I do the exact same thing. I'm so excited about this!
As someone who needs a multitool for hiking and fishing but saves on every gram, this is gold. I have found nothing that fills my exact needs, nowhere. There's always an extra bottle opener thrown in or whatever. (As if I'd carry glass bottles around when hiking.)
So thanks for the tip.
or the eyeglass screwdriver bit
They should make you a sales rep. I just went in on 1 with everything in satin and a black one for work. What really got me all in is they made all the CAD files available for free to make your own tools. This platform is about to blow up.
You’re killing me with these premiere things haha, I get excited to watch a new video and it says 14 hours away 😭
Same here hahaha
Me too!
hahaha, sorry. Its really good for getting ppl together around the same time. also I lets me get on early to answer questions in a more organic way.
@@maxlvledc it's all good we get it and if they don't get it too dam bad haha you gotta get views to be more successful and reach more and this is a good way to do that.
@@maxlvledc I understand why you do it, it makes a lot of sense for viewership, I am just very eager to see the GOAT in depth.
Some black cherry scales with slots for SAK scale tools would be really nice on this
Ooo, that sounds awesome!!!
That’s brilliant. This tool has so much potential for aftermarket customization.
This is by far the coolest muititool I have seen. I really hope they can get it into full production.
They already are!
Just need some time to get the backers out first
@Maxlvledc going to have it pick one up then.
I’ll be honest I was not really paying attention to the whole GOAT tool craze but now I have seen it I am quite amazed! GOAT tools has changed the future of multitools!
Yes, I *really hope* this forces the hand of bigger MT companies, like Gerber, SOG, Leatherman, etc.
I don't see Leatherman coming out with a modular/customizable tool anytime soon...
but Gerber or SOG might.
Especially Gerber, who I know everyone loves to sht on, but has been making some great moves lately! It seems like they have been scanning the market, and paying attention to what people have been asking for, and *actually doing it!*
Their Centerdrive custom shop, for example..giving people the opportunity to mix & match popular colors, like Coyote & OD Green, thus making the tool look brand new and very desirable, despite some of its obvious flaws.
Sure, it is expensive, but the fact that the mere option is there, for folks who are willing to pay it, is a great step in the right direction. They've also made a big swing in putting full size bit drivers in alot of their newer tools, obviously, thus paying attention to what the people want lol, so I can very easily see them taking some existing frame (that would allow for it), and using it as a way of giving folks the option of choosing between a set number of tools, what goes in it.
They don't have nearly as much to lose, as say Leatherman might, if they did that, and really everything to *gain!*
On a side note, I *LOOVE* that the GOAT tool (appropriately named) made it so their full size bit driver *also* would still work with the LM flat bits!
I've always had a vision for a bit driver that would accept both *intentionally.*
Basically, you would take the Leatherman Bit Extender, and in the middle of the hole, you would put two little ledges that would catch the full size bit going down, before it sank to the bottom.
You could still keep the spring thingy in there for retention, and/or, you could have a powerful magnet on the side.
I love the full size bits, but I think it's still important to have bit drivers that *intentionally* support *both.*
I keep my LM Bit Kits, Bit Extender, and Firesteel all in my wallet, and pocket carry my Wave+, and that's what makes them so great, the *portability.*
So I hope, going forward, that we continue to see bit drivers that intentionally support *both.*
Great review, I too am very excited about this tool, and what it may bring for the future.
Don't force anyone's hand. Support GOAT for being innovative and delivering what other companies won't. Clearly it's possible, they would just prefer to sell you a static set of tools in each model, rather than let you choose and swap at whim.
@@fdsman I agree, they should be rewarded for their innovation, when others weren't.
Been looking forward to this sooo much and seems like it really doesn't disappoint! The prospect of being able to easily make your own tools is amazing and it's stylish to boot. Have to get one some day
I've been very worried that I'd have waited 2ish years for the tool and then be disappointed, but I agree this vid makes me happy.
@@grantbaugh2773 same concern for me.
Looking good tho. 😊
I would love to review one for Facebook group that’s so awsome. Usually if I do reviews than guys want to buy it which is good for the maker. If I review something and give good feedback I can make sales. I love the design of this tool. I can’t wait to see guys testing this out in the field
I absolutely love your passion, excitement and genuine joy about the scissors!! I’m so glad I found your videos….you’re a cool dude, Dominic, and my “go-to” for all edc💯💯Thanks for bringing joy for the little things (they are actually huge!!)
This is amazing! I hope this sticks around and just gets better and better. It is what we all have been asking for, and someone finally did it.
The design of those 3 sided cutters are genius! I love my leatherman and always will but they definitely have some catching up to do, with designers out there like Winter Bladeworks, Leatherman doesnt have to look far for inspiration. Unfortunately I think most companies are run by people who don't actually use the products they make, great video man. Those scissors are insane!!!! they just blew through that like nothing! we for sure need a video covering the scissors on that beast.
NO ONE can compare to Brian Winters...have you seen his OFT revolver screwdriver?!?!?
That bit with the scissors had me laughing for a good five minutes straight. 😂
I’m glad to see that the multi tool world is finally embracing modular designs in earnest. That’s been the big question all along, “When will they make this modular?’” I’m just hoping to see modular SAKs before too long. 🤞
Hell yes! To customize the tools you have in your multi-tool is fantastic. Being an i.t.guy and machine maintenance, this is the greatest. I could probably free up a pocket or 2 from tools I now won't need to have on me. Wish this was around year's ago. Thanks for the review.
I'm definitely picking one of these up. It might retire my victorinox spirit. The great thing is that all of critiques you have can be fixed by them simply releasing an updated version of that specific tool. No need to buy a whole new tool to get a one handed blade or replaceable wire cutters.
An incredible multi tool. The prices are good on the tool and extras. I like that they are spring loaded too.
As somebody in the UK, I was excited to see this new multitool, but then disappointed when you said it had all locking tools... and then excited again when you showed that the knife could be swapped with a slip joint one. What a wild ride. Very interesting tool!
It would be simple to grind any standard blade or tool so it doesn't lock as well :)
We do have locking tools in the UK. Both my Leatherman tools do.
I think its only illegal if carried in public without good reason.
There are 3 words that send the good shivers up my spine; Ratcheting, Modular and Upgradeable. This has two out of three, with potential for the third and honestly that's perfect.
Very cool platform! Can’t wait for more videos!
I wonder how Victorinox manages to have no sympathetic opening on their tools for many decades but other companies can’t seem to match that.
Curious if GOAT will ever do a keychain size!
I am so happy that I backed this. Looking forward to getting mine in hand.
I'm so happy this exists. Thank you for posting and cannot wait to see more videos of you using it. I hope to see how you use or change it depending on your needs and environment
The new video on Goat Tools Modular multitool is amazing! It got me thinking - while the Leatherman Squirt PS4 has always been my favorite pocket mini multitool, a mini version of the Goat Tools could be a game changer. The Squirt's metal file alone set it apart from all competitors. Imagine a modular tool with that kind of standout feature! If they release a mini version, I'm definitely buying a few - for myself and as the perfect gifts for friends. What an incredible idea, a modular tool like this!
i have been considering upgrading my wave to something with better steel, but couldn't quite justify the cost of the charge series. i have bookmarked this store page with great interest!
awesome. I am curious to see if they will someday release a smaller version that holds less tools but is a little smaller and EDC-friendly. of course the larger and more capable tool shown in this video should come first, which it did, and it looks great. thanks for sharing
I'm so glad to see it in your hands after so long. Was very patient waiting for them to sort out their issues and glad that i backed mine. Can't wait to get mine and include my first full scale multitool in my EDC rotation.
This truly is a game changer. Personally, I rarely have a use for most of the included tools, but because they are all flat, it would be super easy to design your own tools and send/cut/send laser cut your own ideas out of any material of that specific thickness. For example, I often need the same handful of specific feeler gauges... why not use a blank with no features, and precision grind you own set of gauge thicknesses, say 5 across one blade. I also regularly need to work on fire truck air lines... so have a blank ground with a variety slots for the various sized airlines so you can easily pull back that "shark bite" fitting when they get crusty, rather than using pliers. The imagination runs wild with possibilities.
Sog had this option on thier MTs.
Not sure if they still do but you could customize them really easily.
Exiting.... this is along the lines of what I have been talking about for years.... Hope they will be affordable and successfull enough to last for years as a company. that way customers can slowly build up their exchangeble tool assortment.... I'll definetly be watching live later!
This is definitely awesome. I do some minor electronics work, but sometimes I do stuff outside. Instead of making compromises and/or having so many hard using multitools, I could use 1 and just change out the implications, for each task I need. I can't wait to see how this goes. I can see why you have been excited about this.
The video I have been waiting for!!! Wow this is amazing! I need one of these!
You don't have to just push down the interchange lever to unlock it. If you push on the other tools it will also unlock
Doh! So true+
this is amazing! i really hope that this takes off because it seems like this would benefit a lot from a high adoption rate
Looks very impressive. As you pointed out, being able to pull implements out on the fly, like the exacto blade, is super convenient.
Good on you for adding the goof up.
This multi tool has me excited. Modular is the way to go in multi tools, and I am glad to see a manufacturer make a well thought out, quality product
Also a minor point to mention is that if you just can't fit one of the tools in your multitool; the individual tools looks perfect to change into a keychain by using the deployment hole as a lanyard loop.
Kind of..they are open eneded...so they won't exactly hold.
This could be a game changer for the UK market. You can swap to a non locking BLADE!
Or just pop the locking blade out, and keep it in the pouch when out anywhere public. I'm a bit wary of using any sharp non locking blades, as I've got so used to using locking blades.
I don't want to forget and slice my fingers off!
So will go with locking blade, and pop the blade out, when I need to.
Can't wait. this means mine is coming soon. I'm a little farther down on the list but should be coming soon. Looking forward to this review and your evaluation. I hope it is as good as it looks. Possibly a new major player in multi-tool market.
24 hours ago I was not in the market for a multi tool. Then I got all hyped up about getting a Leatherman. A man's excitement over cutting a string made me want a GOAT.
Impressive scissors!
I ordered one out of principle for being a "gadget geek," and for its swappable utility, but currently I am finding that my SOG Power Pint is giving me all I need, so I leave the Free P2 home unless I'm on a project. Surge in sheath on bug out bag and Chinese Ozark Trail on strap of EDC Bag in car if I need them for backup, but Power Pint gets EDC done from pliers to letter opening with the straight knife. If I ever go back to England I'll have a UK compliant tool with the GOAT...
Maybe some of Dom's enthusiasm will be contagious when GOAT gets here... I dunno... June they say...
I am glad that the GOAT exists and will make the planet better for everyone who owns one. I am interested to see what people 3D print or design for it. One cool thing MIGHT be the smallest flashlight to go into it that would shed light on the project you're doing with it. Flat side magnet light to the scale? Somebody tell me of a tiny magnetized light like that.... I know, I know, clip a small one to my Wazoo Cap and shut up... Jus' thinkin' out loud here among kindred spirits...
I personally don't think that these modular multitools will make the industry change. Mostly because people, from what I've seen, don't really care if the tool is modular or not, they just want a tool that works. So for most people I don't think the price will be justified. However I do think that alot of multitool enthusiasts will get it simply because it's the first of its sort.
Not the first or second, might be considered third. You are correct, modularity is a neat concept, but it doesn't tend to sell well long term.
In my case I use knives/multitools for urban EDC but also as I'm into outdoor activities like camping, mountain biking, bushcraft etc. I have different ones I use for those different scenarios, I don't really need a saw and inline reamer day to day in the city, but I do in the woods. Likewise I'm unlikely to need a bit driver or metal file in the woods. So for people like me - and judging by the comments I read on yt vids about SAKs/multitools etc. from many countries, there are many like me - it is a good solution and had it been around 3 years ago when I started buying SAKs and multitools, I'd have bought this as my one and done fullsize multitool, the fact that you can add allen bits also means you can take it on bike rides instead of a bike multitool which you normally need to carry in tandem with some kind of pliers anyway.
Que bien hermano se puede personalizar con lo que uno necesita muy bien pensado ojalá llegue a Latinoamérica se ve buena
Estoy en el Reino Unido y aunque no ha llegado aqui ya se puede pedir via el sitio de indiegogo, pero te cobran gastos de envio, en mi caso £28 que son unos $35 mas o menos. Asi que para enviar a Latinoamerico deberia ser un poquito menos caro.
@@simonh6371 gracias hermano es bueno saberlo
Shipping is worldwide I believe
Thanks for the video. This is exactly the tool I've been looking for to replace my old Leatherman. Just ordered one in black with brass scales.
It's nice that tools like the scissors, xacto knife and file are removable which makes them much easier to use in certain situations. I can't count the times I've been using a multitool implement and had the body of the tool get in the way.
Wow. I can definitely feel the excitement while you're filming, lol specially in the scissor part, haha like a kid opening up a new toy in Christmas. But I can't blame you man, that thing is dope!
Preordered mine a long while ago, happy to know they're shipping and the quality holds up. Excited to finally get mine!
Nice!
Wow! The platform looks amazing! I’m lovin’ it! I’m looking forward to your upcoming videos on the device! 😎👍🏻
I like the idea of a modular tool because I really want a toolset that is pretty nonstandard. I want a kind of woodworking companion because, well, I just do. That idea is pretty cool
This tool, especially given this is the first run(?), blows me away. This is the type of innovation I have been hoping for. The Multi-tool mod community is awesome, but I'm not capable of most of what is required. Here, I don't have to be handy. Its awesome. If this was developed even more, I could see carrying two while, let's say, camping with different compliments of tools. Not only this, but I could see other companies making inserts for this?! How cool would that be? This has potential written all over it and it's already pretty sweet.
you nailed it.
This is game changer. This has so much potential. Thank you for the video. I could sense the excitement in your voice. Only one complain so far they shud have gone with sog pliers which has the leverage technology and it will s the smoothest for the bit attachment they shud have gone with how sog powerpoint does it on the back of the pliers. it is in the centre and only a ratchet hole is required one can maybe use a leatherman ratchet. This ratchet i understand will support almost all the bits.
I agree with the Rachel 100%
I've watched dozens of videos of the compound leverage system one year + later...not once did it hold up over time...sadly.
I could already tell the scissors are better made than the Surge when you pulled them out. I broke the scissors on my Surge cutting a very small zip tie. Sheared off the little detent inside.
Great video! Can’t wait to get my hands on mine, but likely waiting a bit as I was a backer via Indiegogo. Looking forward to your follow-up vids on everything.
THIS IS FREAKIN' **WILD** !! And those scissors! HO-lee ca-RAAAP!!
This is **definitely** gonna be my main multi-tool from now on!
Thanks for this video! You rock! 🤘😁
One additional feature that leaps out at my old eyes while you're reviewing the Pliers part of this Goat Tool are the sharp edges on - and smoothly graduaed taper of the outer plier edges - thus making this part of the tool an excellent internal pipe reamer for conduits and the like. Now we'll let you carry on until I pick up on anything else you may miss...
Superb value even without considering all the extras the GOAT is capable of.
I'm seriously considering buying some extra S35VN blades for my own projects.
I never even thought of this..but your right!
Maxlvledc: Your excitement is contagious!
I pre-ordered one & while doing so read a comment w/ an incredible idea for a scale on their page.
The commenter called it giving the Goat a Victorinox like scale that would allow for the addition of small tools like tweezers, toothpicks, pens, mini drivers etc... I think you could take this even further & make it so the scale can store some Leatherman flat driver bits, or some of the additional insertable tools that are safe to be by your hands. Goat did reply back saying they'd released info. to make scales on 3D printers & they are in fact available via their website. Goat even released info. to allow people to build their own tools to put into the multi-tool.
I don't know anyone w/ the skills to do anything like that but I bet you can do it or know someone who can. I know someone that can 3D print a basic red plastic scale for me - so I'll do that.
I really like your idea of buying another bit driver & having one on both sides but when I went to the page to buy a 2nd one it was sold out, but I'll get one eventually.
I can't wait to see you make a TSA safe configuration video. If you remove a blade do you have to place another tool or space saver in it's place in the Goat? Thanks!
As someone who always carries a knife with me, the option to replace it whenever with something that might come more in handy is awesome. I can't wait to see what other tools they come up with.
Backed this and waiting for it to arrive. Super stoked
I must say that this looks very promising.
It's a start-up, so ou may need to wait a bit for delivery (they appear to be taking orders for a June delivery.
I'm sure they'll have patented the system, but once the idea has been conceived, you can bet that somebody else will do something similar.
As you say, this looks like it's a game changer, and rightly so.
I think that it's very unlikely that any multitool company will survive without going over to something similar.
Every time I’m thinking about making something or starting a company in a new area, within a week I see a new company doing exactly what I was thinking about
it's called collective consciousness and with targeted ads and controlling what billions of people look at, they may even be able to steer the greater collective of people towards forming certain ideas.
A customizable, modular multi-tool is brilliant! And the way you presented it can get anyone excited for these things! I don't own a multi-tool, but this one looks great. EDIT: Actually, I think I have one out in my car, but I forgot about it. Either way, nice video, nice product.
Great video, thanks. My favorite scissor is on the budget Roxon.
Been using my Dad's victorinox for maybe a couple of years now, I can say it's a pretty cool tool, compact and all, but after watching this, I'm thinking of getting one of these Goat tool someday.
Nice review btw👍
That's actually pretty neat, I remember seeing this project on indiegogo awhile back but I had already backed the Toler Union (which I do like because I keep it on my Bajaboard and it allows me to change its tires on the go) and I couldn't afford 2 crowdfunded multitools. Best of luck to. GOAT and Toler becase more competition in this market is good for all of us, the consumer at the end of the day.
I wish it had a wire stripper or an option for one as an accessory. I'm aware you can strip a wire with a knife quite easily, but even a little notch on a can opener like what one finds on the Leatherman Wave is superior to a knife. I find myself using the wire stripper on the Wave all the time, even when I have a dedicated stripper at hand. Either because I'm on a ladder and my bulky dedicated strippers didn't make the initial climb due to needing other tools first or when working with someone else that doesn't have a wire stripper, so we're sharing the dedicated stripper. It's so nice to always have an option in your pocket.
I had no idea This was in the works. I’ve said for years the ideal multi tool would be a customizable one Well here it is. Waiting anxiously for further testing and review. Please list pricing of tool and swappable accessories. Thanks
I'm excited to hearr your thoughts on this.
I read that a few GOATs have already been shipped.
Coleman had a modular multi tool many years ago. It consisted of a full size plier with two removable modules containing the various tools in each. So, you can use the screwdriver in the module while holding the nut with the plier. I only got it with the two modules that it came with, but there were additional ones available at the time. Got a couple in the Coleman outlet store. Never saw them again, there or in any store. Neat concept, can carry one tool that becomes three separate ones.
I like the concept of the interchangeable of the tools. The reason why I like the gerber mp500/600 is if you need to separate something or pry something with the pliers you can do it. Very few multi tools can do that.
I think the coolest aspect of this is that I could see a third-party accessory market developing.
Excellent review! I’m way more impressed with it than I thought I’d be. Not sure if it’ll unseat the wave as my edc, but we’ll see. Definitely has its advantages over the wave, but also some disadvantages. The wave cutters are way better, try cutting 12-2 romex with the goat. Bet it won’t. The cutters look so small. Personally I’m not a fan of spring loaded pliers, but I could live with it. Lastly, a feature even leatherman messes up sometimes (particularly the P4), is the roundedness of the handles where they meet your palm when squeezing the pliers. The wave/surge are amazing in this area. The goat looks like it’ll be decent, but not as good as the wave. This really matters when you are squeezing hard to cut wire. Maybe with the scales it’ll help round them out. The scale option is really cool! I’m sure I will give this cool new tool a try.
This is an absolute gamechanger. I'm immediately looking into making a pre order. Holy crap the future of multitools is looking bright.
Today is a good day. Just pulled the trigger on a GOAT plus the super mice blade and gut hook. Also ordered the G10 charge on final sale to enjoy in the meantime until the GOAT gets in.
To tell this is what I was waiting for, full modular MT.
I mean there is MTs with minimum modularity, like Bit drivers, a blade change system, but nothing like every tool that could be changed. And also when there is such options the whole system is limited.
The surge, The phantom, The multi plier, just to name a few models are a step in the right direction, but none of them fully went into fully modular. They at best try one key modular feature, then nothing else.
Sometimes you get one big modular slot, sometimes it's the plier, then you can get a driver or utility cutters.
Also some tools doesn't exist as an option, also some pliers aren't used because the needle nose is usually more funtionnal.
As for a criticism most MTs are designed for camping and while this is good, I would love them being more thought around Professionnals, like having things for one kind of job, like plumbers, mechanics, electricians, computer repair, etc...
I held out during Kickstart/ pre order Because I was worried that its hype wouldn't live up to my expectations but holy cow I have to get this ASAP it looks like
I can understand the excitement about this tool, but it doesn't quite grab me like it does everyone else. I think my preferred would be to order up a custom multitool with just what I want and nothing that I don't. For example, I have no use for a saw, and would like to order a tool without the saw and something more useful in its place. After getting the tool, I really don't want to mess around with swapping things in and out. Regardless, great to see someone innovating and putting in the hard work to get to production. Great video as always - thanks.
it's about frickin' time someone did this. Leatherman had BETTER be paying attention. Excellent first look, I didn't even know this thing existed, but I sure as heck am going to get one. I think that file is a disgrace. The Wave's diamond file is my most used tool, by far. Why? Because it's perfect for fingernails. It appears that a bit more thought should have gone into the actual feel in the hand, seems like there MAY be some hot spots. I do think the non-radiused top edges of the pliers is a definite shortcoming. The radiused pliers on the Wave are the standard shape in the single purpose needle nose plier world.
I think you're right that this may be a game changer for the multi-tool world.
its actually more ergonomic than the wave (not a big feat) which really surprised me.
Man this video was a rollercoaster...lol...this is very exciting, cant wait fr the next vids
Take your proprietary fiddly driver bits and put em where the sun don't shine, Leatherman. This could have been yours . A surge is a surge. This thing is a limitless open source platform. Fan freakin tastic!!
A great tool indeed especially for mods. We can see you having fun with the Goat in the future. Cowabunga mate.!
Just ordered mine. Thank you for the video.
this is awesome. i think you are right with the apple analogy.. i feel like the majority of us are geeking out over this one.
