I really hope you’re able to get these into mass production and take customers from big brands that don’t go the extra mile for their product or the consumer. You did both
As someone who can use CAD and owns a 3d printer, the idea that I could design my own part and then attach it to my multi tool is mind blowing. This capability alone might 2x the rate of innovation in this space, since a bunch of hobbyists can start making bespoke tools. Really excited to see where this goes, thank you for bringing innovation to this space!! (Already preordered ofc)
Can you elaborate on this for an idiot that knows little about 3D printing? Doesn't 3D printing use plastic? You wouldn't attach a plastic tool to this, right? I've already purchased this tool and I plan on getting into 3d printing. Just curious!
I have never been this excited about a multitool. Happy to support this product and company. I do not expect perfection on a first run tool but this company is going places I can tell you that! Can’t wait to se what lies ahead over the coming years.
I ordered a goat tool on indegogo and I'm super excited for it. Perfect welder's tool. I can swap in tools that I need and swap out I don't need. I also cut hard welding wire every day all day and use pliers all day long. I like the scales to make the pliers more comfortable. The reamer/awl is the perfect shape to scrape and clean the inside of a gas nozzle. Best welding multi tool ever
Present me is so thankful that past me decided to back this tool. Looking forward to getting my GOAT and customizing it. Thanks for the great video overview!
Seriously I wish someone with any authority within Gerber would watch this video. Specifically with the replaceable cutters; please switch to 440A or frankly anything other than the carbide cutters that shatter very easily and cannot cut anything other than thin gauge wire. Great job on this; Maxlvledc did a great video on this product as well.
I’m super excited to get mine. I’m just sad I didn’t buy more extra tools when supporting the kickstarter. I can always pre-order or make more tools if needed. I wish you the best of luck with shipping all of the tools
Backer#90 first indigogo batch black oxide. I absolutely cannot wait to get this thing. Best multitool I have ever seen! Can’t wait to have it in my pocket!
So you ordered the one for $219 that comes with everything? I think I’m being told that I can order the $99 tool and add individual tools to the order but I don’t see that option.
@@andrewfett142 When you choose the base tool and continue to the check out you will be able to add specific extra tools! At least I was able to a couple of weeks back.
I wish the scissors worked independent of the multitool like the craft knife. The ability to remove a tool to use independently with greater control really expands the number of ways to use the tool.
@@ryanvanderveen8102 I'd love to be wrong, but I asked on Maxlvledc's first look Livestream and was told the scissors spring works against the frame. If you watch the scissors opening part of the video at .5 or .25 speed you can see the spring part move into position when it hits the frame.
First functional mod I’m doing is making the one thing every multitool with a bit driver should have. A 4mm bit driver! Would love to see a 1st party one too though
Great looking tool. My only concern is twisting that wide flat head screw driver where the 10mm wrench nocks the width of it down to only a few mm. Can't wait for mine, should be here in the next few weeks!
I do like the tool I just got but having a ton of trouble trying to get the screws out so I can fix the scales you can affix to these. Ruined 4 2mm wrenches trying to get the last 3 screws out, got a few emails over to support, will see what they say, and post back once sorted.
I’m curious if there’s any plans to someday offer a non-spring loaded plier head. As much as my leatherman wave+ can be frustrating, I do often use it like a 3rd hand since the pliers can be so stiff.
I just received mine today and am extremely excited to try it out. My only issue is that the saw is very loose when closed and wiggles around. Do I just need to tighten the screws or is there something else I should do? I don't want to damage anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
is it possible that while strongly gripping the tool and attempting to stab something hard, say a tree or a piece of tough meat, you could enable the release mechanism and cause the tool to spring back at your hand?
The real G.O.A.T. tool is a regular flathead screwdriver that you hold no sentimental attachment to. But this could come in a close second, love the standard size bit driver.
Glad to see these are starting to ship out! I am very excited to receive mine. I do have a question though Micheal, are there any concerns with the leaf spring release mechanism being where ones hand usually resides when using a sharp tool? I'm no stranger to non locking knife blades as I usually carry a swiss army knife, it only bites if you use it wrong. Just thought I'd ask to see where you stand on that.
All of our sharp tools are designed so when using their edge, the force applied is towards the open position (much like most folding pocket knives). We have not encountered any inadvertent closing of tools. Since the outer tools & frame do not engage the lock, only the shorter inner tools, you have to press the inner tools specifically.
I like the locking system on my leatherman wave+ more than leaf spring designs, but while fiddling with it, I noticed the inner tools have a very similar shape to the locking section as the goat tools do. Are they just somewhat similar or has anyone tried modifying a Leatherman inner tool to work in a goat tool?
How do purchase add ons separately? For example I bought the 99.00 tool already and picked out a few add ons , but couldn't afford some of the other ones at the time, so I went back and tried to place an order and won't let me get add ons without getting a package deal, and my tool says it ships in June, have they even started shipping yet?
This is the worst part of a project like this, I was interested the day I first saw the campaign, excited when I pre-ordered. Impatient while waiting for updates and news. Very cool design, even better concept of a supportable and user grown community! I can't wait! I hate waiting!
yeah, i am late, i know^^ but still i am looking forward to mine :) what made me order was the option of non-locking blades (too risky here in germany) with still locking tools and the centered bit driver ... 👍 Edit: where did the template-files go? the link gives me a 404-error ...
Awesome, can you tell us how you got the titanium colours on your tool, did you use a blow torch or an oven and roughly what themperature did you go to?
Just hit them with a blow torch, quick passes and watched the change til I was happy. Don't do it while the scales are on the multitool tool! You will ruin the heat treat of the tools.
I dream of combining my keys with a multitool, pliers and both handles included, without destroying my keys (If I move, someone else is going to need the keys), think keys could fit in this multitool?
If you're already a backer you will receive updates on new offerings. If not, you can head to our website goat-tools.myshopify.com/ and subscribe to our newsletter at the very bottom of the page.
@GOAT TOOLS Can you please address the finding of Maxlvledc that the lock up is quite less than ideal? That could be a big potential safety issue. But also you can credit his review with my pre-order today.
The locking mechanism is solid. If a user forces tools against the locking mechanism it can damage the tool or the handle and diminish the locking system. All of our tools are designed to not stress the locking system while in use. If a user damages components to the point the safety features no longer work we will cover them under warranty.
@@GOATTools Perhaps it was a fluke, but this reviewer was closing the tools by hand, albeit with some force, but it didn't look very solid. Thanks for clarifying the warranty. Not knocking it, I'm all in for now. Just hoping for the best, no surprises, and for it to be a needed industry disruption
👍🏼 will the tools be available individually or will we have to buy the extras as a set? I think at the moment it’s buy the multitool itself or the multitool with a lot of extras.
There is a bottle/can opener available as an add-on tool. You can use the 10mm wrench as well. I prefer to use the base of the hammer section to pop bottle caps "Bic style" if you're familiar.
@@GOATTools thanks for the reply as I’m sure your super busy. I’ll be as patient as possible but your multi tool looks great can’t wait till I get the shipping notice.
Supported the Indiegogo campaign and received my GOAT multi-tool about 2 weeks ago. The first time I tried to deploy the knife it snapped at the base and fell off. Contacted the manufacturer and had to pay for a replacement (something like $15 shipped) for a replacement part that I'd not yet ever even used. This video makes it look/seem as though you can flip open any of the implements like butter. Guess again! Clumping I believe is the term that's used. Try to open the knife, scissors, (insert any other item here) and pretty much all of the tools on that side of the multi -tool will also come out....certainly not like in this video where it appears that a simple thumb flick will open whatever it is you're looking for. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt for the time being, but even only owning it for a couple of weeks I can tell you that I've returned back to my trusty Victorinox, and even a cheaper Leatherman. "Hot swapping" is nowhere near as smooth or simple as shown in this video. Hence the need for them to send out an email update to us supporters suggesting we watch this very video so as not to break their quote-unquote hot swappable items. Again, I'll give it some time before I decide if this was a good purchase, but out of the gate I have some very serious concerns.
Great to see this. Very keen to review this on the JonGadget TH-cam Channel. Just waiting for my delivery! First impressions look great.

It does not lock at 90 degrees, but you can open the handles to a 90 degree angle and use those for added leverage.
