My only gripes against the tool right now it's the lack of 4 large implements instaed of the current 2. The other thing is the current platform forbids large scissors like in some of their models like the storm, phantom, KS, and such. I think they should go towards the multiple model route. Since they made a nice platform they can actually do let's say heavy duty versions with phantom implements in addition of this system. Small versions that can work only with the smaller implements. "Knives" without pliers with the same system.

I agree with the 4 tools thing. Having that option for years it feels like a step backwards. I'm hoping all of these testing of the pre-production model well help make changes before the official launch. I do think the platform could be modified so it works on Roxon's other tools.

👍🏼I do like the swap mechanism but overall I’m liking the GOAT appearance and tools. I don’t do alot of swapping now that I have things where I want them so the “better” swap mechanism doesn’t really matter to me. I do often take out my craft blade and use it individually. It’s a full length long tool. Plenty to hang on to by itself. Along with 3 other long tools. 🙂

I like the idea, however, I'm still yet to find a better multi tool than the Surge and Swisstool MX. Thanks for the video! 👍

Any special kind of utility blades you need…or scalp blades…? I think they come in different numbers sizes??

It takes a #22 scalpel blade

So, love the direction of fully configurable but will stick with my Bibury dedicated tools and swapable t-shank on one for now. Fantastic innovation but needs time to mature an Roxon have taken a big leap in reducing wiggle issues over GOAT. But big to them for going first into a new multitool era

My side to side wiggle was fixed when I tightened the pivots but there still is very slight up and down.

Wow, so much unrealized potential here! - Leatherman, why can't you offer us a truly custom mix of tools? You have the idea but not the execution... - That hobby/surgical blade holder is dynomite! - That scraper/chisel/wire stripper looks really useful, in ways I don't even yet know- that's the kind of multi-function we really want from a multitool blade!! - Nobody can beat the SAK awl/reamer blade- it's just a perfect, multi-function tool! Leatherman, side-eyes here... This awl/reamer is on steroids, and not necessarily in a good way... - Everyone else has figured out how to combine a bottle opener with a can opener (super useful for more than just those two functions) but these guys haven't... Yeah, this great idea just makes me want more from Leatherman... SMH

There's a lot of potential from the platform and it's by no means perfect. The more time I spend with it I find things I would change. I think Leatherman would kill it if they had an open platform like this, but then again that would cut into profits.
