I love being a part of a community where a guy gets that excited about a scissor cutting a string 😁👌

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 👍

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.

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.

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. ru-vid.comUgkx0vyBwjtx9GGOuiqUVT2sRoYqmDoNT_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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Some black cherry scales with slots for SAK scale tools would be really nice on this

You’re killing me with these premiere things haha, I get excited to watch a new video and it says 14 hours away 😭

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!!)

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

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

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

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 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

I am so happy that I backed this. Looking forward to getting mine in hand.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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. 🤞

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!

Looks very impressive. As you pointed out, being able to pull implements out on the fly, like the exacto blade, is super convenient.

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.

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!

Sog had this option on thier MTs. Not sure if they still do but you could customize them really easily.

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.

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.

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 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!

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.

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

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!

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

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

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.

this is amazing! i really hope that this takes off because it seems like this would benefit a lot from a high adoption rate

Impressive scissors!

The video I have been waiting for!!! Wow this is amazing! I need one of these!

This could be a game changer for the UK market. You can swap to a non locking BLADE!

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.

Backed this and waiting for it to arrive. Super stoked

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

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!

@5:37 That's so interesting. The replaceable cutter appears to be a carbide milling insert like what's used on lathes and mills.

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.

Just ordered mine. Thank you for the video.

Great video, thanks. My favorite scissor is on the budget Roxon.

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.

Preordered mine a long while ago, happy to know they're shipping and the quality holds up. Excited to finally get mine!

Very cool. I'm waiting for mine to arrive.

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!

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.

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

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.

Thanks for the review. I will check out this tool.

Very cool multitool! Thanks for the review!

Looks really impressive. I can’t wait to get mine.

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

Man this video was a rollercoaster...lol...this is very exciting, cant wait fr the next vids

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.

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

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.

You sold me on this, thank you. I'm just waiting for June.

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👍

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.

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...

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.

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.

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 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

20 minutes ago I hadn't heard of this. Now I'm sold.

Another great video review. You've sold me on this tool.

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.

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.

A great tool indeed especially for mods. We can see you having fun with the Goat in the future. Cowabunga mate.!

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.

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

Very well made video....nice job !

...and ordered. This should make an excellent addition to my collection. Too bad about having to wait until June though.

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.

After this high class review, this tool is on my target list. Hope to have available in France. Good job
