[@sandy_knight]

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.

[@frankcostanzo8391]

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.

[@kingpin11111]

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!

[@trollmcclure1884]

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.

[@matthewpeterson3329]

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.

[@blastblast4627]

As a former firefighter and EMT, I want that hole opening on the seat belt cutter to be an O2 wrench...

[@TheGrenadier97]

Extremely interesting concept and very well executed. This is what the multitool community always wanted and surely points the way forward from now on.

[@Dreg_s]

Damn watching that little ✂️ cut that cord was the highlight of my day

[@kingpin11111]

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.

[@maxlvledc]

Get some sleep! It will be here in the morning lol

[@blade9292]

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...

[@3wheelmannc860]

Simply wow. A true innovation. Looking forward to following the company. When it hits full retail, I'm interested.

[@BOMBPHONICS]

Get them to shapeways so they can build a 3d printed holster and I’m all over it. Been rocking my wave for years and will not leave home without it. I hope this thing does really well. I very well may pick one up after Christmas.

[@93MichiganFootball]

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.

[@DrKebaby]

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!

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.

[@DefMunkyYT]

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.

[@bubba7626]

Leatherman just might still....

[@blade9292]

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

[@EricWarriorPrincess]

No, keep the magnets. That is one of the best features of the Free.

[@pcofranc]

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.

[@blade9292]

@@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...

[@cindysalinas9752]

As an electrician that does strictly remodels this is an absolute essential tool. kzbin.infoUgkx0vyBwjtx9GGOuiqUVT2sRoYqmDoNT_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.

[@johnsanford3596]

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.

[@maxlvledc]

its actually more ergonomic than the wave (not a big feat) which really surprised me.

[@Idaho_Greg]

This is by far the coolest muititool I have seen. I really hope they can get it into full production.

[@blastblast4627]

Someone out there HAS to offer custom bits, no?

[@anhatur]

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.

[@clydedoris5002]

or the eyeglass screwdriver bit

[@tspfl9073]

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!!

[@kastapostgard5306]

And here I was thinking I hade a game changer idea only to find out that someone else already thought about it lol. The modular design is great for us that live in areas where carrying even a small blade is against the law, great to be able to remove it and still have multitool functionality.

[@yadda_tools]

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.

[@drumzfr4204]

Lowe’s still carry’s craftsman and select small hardware stores do to aswell as also honoring the warranty

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!

[@MikeBaxterABC]

It would be simple to grind any standard blade or tool so it doesn't lock as well :)

[@berryreading4809]

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 👍

[@frogturtle]

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

[@preacherman85379]

An incredible multi tool. The prices are good on the tool and extras. I like that they are spring loaded too.

[@eva2k0]

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.

[@Baggytrousers27]

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.

[@blastblast4627]

Mine are "Right to Repair" Knafs makes me hella happy that way. Maybe this will be the multi-tool to go with it.

[@gregtomamichel973]

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.

[@blastblast4627]

Same. There should absolutely be a BYO option. Even if it came at a slightly higher price point. I want to be able to purchase each component of the tool separately. Every single screw, frame, tool, clip, blade, etc.

[@survivalofthefittest409]

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.

Impressive scissors!

[@cyrthurix]

This is an absolute gamechanger. I'm immediately looking into making a pre order. Holy crap the future of multitools is looking bright.

[@fernandomosquera9585]

Que bien hermano se puede personalizar con lo que uno necesita muy bien pensado ojalá llegue a Latinoamérica se ve buena

[@simonh6371]

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.

Shipping is worldwide I believe

[@benbettin4506]

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.

[@DonHavjuan]

$50 for international shipping. Nah, they lost me at the checkout. I was ready to buy then it tacks on another $50? No way.

[@j_crust4582]

I'm excited to hearr your thoughts on this. I read that a few GOATs have already been shipped.

[@wilx2703]

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.

[@yadda_tools]

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.

[@simonh6371]

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.

[@stevemastbaum]

Do you think the screw head on cutter insert for the pliers will interfere with cutting heavy wire

[@maxlvledc]

Worth a test!!

[@n0thingsafe]

This seems like everything I have been looking for in a multi-tool as an ironworker. Even got the hex bits for changing out the gooseneck on a suitcase welder gun. How is the pocket clip? I am in a lot of awkward positions on high steel. Would be good not to have it fall out of my pocket.

[@AlmightyHilux]

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.

[@johnkraemer5505]

Wow! The platform looks amazing! I’m lovin’ it! I’m looking forward to your upcoming videos on the device! 😎👍🏻

[@AnonymousOtters]

Backed this and waiting for it to arrive. Super stoked

[@shannonmcstormy5021]

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.

[@maxlvledc]

you nailed it.

[@AlmightyHilux]

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.

[@ALLworldCONSTRUCTIONLLC]

The Alan screw on back side of cutting bit looked slightly stripped already. Seems like that would fill with dirt quick

[@nishanthshetty3615]

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.

[@patrickbledsoe2176]

I agree with the Rachel 100%

[@maxlvledc]

I've watched dozens of videos of the compound leverage system one year + later...not once did it hold up over time...sadly.

[@redcros93]

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!

[@OldSolidSnake]

Dude, I've been emailing Gerber and Leatherman about making something like one of these and they haven't came through yet... Glad I found this video! Thanks!

[@OldSolidSnake]

I "ordered" mine, I hope to be getting it around my birthday in June!

[@andrewcheadle948]

They're asleep at the wheel. How could they not have gone down this road, years ago.....

[@OldSolidSnake]

@@andrewcheadle948 I know, right!? You'd think their R&D departments would have came up with something like this by now, being they're both pretty decent size of companies. Who knows...

[@foxwood67]

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

[@rsafree1139]

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.

[@mathewshumney1163]

Hey man love the content do you know if a leatherman t4 knife could be installed on the free p2 to get rid of the combo knife appreciate it

[@maxlvledc]

never tried it..but I cant see a reason why it wouldnt work.

[@GeertSawek]

Yes, you can. However you will be left with a plain edge knife of the same length as the plain edge portion of the P2 combo, so I don't really see the point. The plain edge from a P4 will fit it as well. The serrated section is useful for cutting rope and straps, etc.

[@kingpin11111]

How about the ergonomics when using the pliers? Does the tool bite in your hand? Or is it comfortable at least as Wave?

[@DefMunkyYT]

According to the Indigogo page it was designed not to bite when using the pliers. I don't know about the edges of the tool, but they did build in a gap between the handles.

[@maxlvledc]

More so imo..but it has more flex...kind of like a spirit

[@kncnsm]

Is it ergonomic with all those right angles? Feels like there'll be hotspots when gripping the tool to apply pressure on tight situations

[@williamyoung369]

That is so cool! I see a Saw blade, how is that one? You could add a bit extender/ratchet. I wouldn't take it on an airplane, they would take it. Looking for to more info & mods on this one. Kinda like a Keysmart.

[@morsumbra9692]

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.

[@enjaymarine]

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...
