This will be amazing when working on electronics. It'll save a lot of time on things like disassembling and reassembling radios, drones, rc cars, etc....
Wow! I’ve never been a fan of “gimmicky” multitools, but that looks to possibly fill a need (or maybe just a want) for technicians that work on small instruments with small tools. I could be wrong, but that may possibly be the first electric multitool. (Not counting the ones that may have a flashlight on them.)🤷🏻♂️
I think you may be right! I'm sure there was some cordless screwdriver with a flashlight and knife made somewhere but as far as plier based this is the first one I've seen.
I said this in another video by someone else, but I really wish this had some way to hide the bit driver, or even just turn it off so it doesn't accidentally get used. Maybe that could be combined, have it slide away, lock in both open and closed, and be off when closed.
Neat! I’m curious what kind of battery life it will have in the long run. A few years back I bought a small cordless tool from Lowe’s, I think it was called Flip-It(edit: it was called the Flip-Out) or some something like that. Really handy but the battery was dead after about a year. It’s cool to see something like this offered in a multi-tool, definitely revolutionary.
the battery it has is way too small for what it is and is non-replaceable. Once the battery goes it's a case of buying a new tool. Plus as the battery goes the fact that it's not particularly high powered to begin with means you'll have to bin it even sooner
@@eoghanmyers2330 , Yeah,I mean the fact that it probably doesn’t have a lot of torque or runtime is forgivable, in my opinion. But I don’t understand why they don’t engineer these types of things with replaceable batteries . Anyway I still think it’s neat, even if it is probably a gimmick in the long run.
Leatherman Arc, which costs more than my surge, does not have T-Shank so by extension cannot hone its own blade or be modded easily with scalpels etc, does not have serrated edge, does not have heavy duty scissors. Or this Nextool Gemini which costs a third of the leatherman surge and has something incredible which the surge does not have. I'd rather buy American, but god damn this is a great idea.
Can the bit driver lock up so that you can use the driver without using the battery in a way that you aren't fighting against it turning the opposite way?
For me the tool is more about fixing electronics. It's a bit like victorinox cybertool or some other MTs with those 4mm bit drivers. Although I do like that electric bit driver. I saw the tool but I'm saving it for later. As for drilling or something else I would like to see something compact with multitool elements, but yeah I don't think it can be this compact and have a lot of torque and power or you will be able at best to drill 2 or 3mm holes on wood or thin plastic / métal plates...
It's interesting in only one way, derivative and inferior in most others. This driver includes a bit set that completely ignores reality - maybe 1 in 10 screws that use those fittings will be reachable by that tool; and any other hex bits properly sized for it will require more torque than the motor can supply. Add to that the carry-unfriendly design, and you get a 'pocket miracle' that will quickly end up in a junk drawer, and stay there.
I'll have to double check but there is no specific button to do that but it seems you can turn it with the motor off. Not sure if that damages the motor or not.
That's my main gripe against many Usb rechargeable devices. The battery should be easily replaceable. I do have Usb flashlights with removable batteries. I bet this have something like a 16340 li ion battery of 3.7v. And to be honest there is a place for multitools with electrical tools and elements. I mean there is a possibility to combine electric screwdriver with light, live detection, thermometer and laser pointer...
@@blade9292 I agree this may be the start rather than the perfect solution. Like you said there is so much potential and in a couple years who knows what will be possible.
@@hvacbudget8600 I do own two pen multimeters and they are quite good for an EDC mostly my mustool mt007 who is an excellent EDC meter to me. My only gripe for those pen meters is the fact none do have micro ammeters, which would have been great for gas furnaces...
It is not a full screwdriver it is a micro screwdriver for electronics will not and is not supposed to compete with something like a Dewalt. The form factor is reminiscent of other electric screwdrivers made for small screws.
Excellent point! It would be nice to test this in the future against a small standalone precision screwdriver. What test do you think would best test the range of this tool? Removing electronics screws?
I don’t like the look of it honestly kinda looks cheap. Maybe if they had found a way to incorporate the new features into a more familiar design it would appeal to me more. Honestly tho I don’t think the drill portion will withstand the test of I see it malfunctioning or just completely giving up if used regularly.

Great idea! A great Christmas tool when the kids need all those batteries installed!
I think it's the intended use for it.
I have to hand it to Nextool, at least they are trying different ideas on their multi-tools.
I agree!!
For real! So many multitools are basically all the same…
Roxon does great too! Nice scissors, and swappable blades
Awesome! I'm diggin It. You can't hate innovation... And its a bonus when it's good innovation. Excited to see what's next.
I agree!
This multitool has intrigued me since the first time I heard about it. I think the electric could be great for my guitar and ukulele projects.
That's a great idea! Some have mentioned it could also be a good computer repair tool.

Good point about battery life!
The battery is tiny.
Pouch batteries also have a really short life span.

Fantastic!!! A little works Electronic app 👌🏼
now they need to make one that's got a 6mm auto driver
Can the bit driver lock up so that you can use the driver without using the battery in a way that you aren't fighting against it turning the opposite way?
I'll have to check.
Btw, the SOG power access clip I showed you is holding up so far.
Great! That's awesome!
Yeah I need a leatherman version of this made
Exactly!!

True, maybe in the future battery technology will get that good but probably it's not there yet.
@@hvacbudget8600 with a bigger tool and a 1/4 inch drive we can be able to get something interesting.
With both screwing and drilling cap
@@blade9292 Agreed!! That would be cool!
Nice one Boss!
When do you think it will be available thru Amazon?
Thanks! Not sure when it will be on Amazon maybe a couple months?

Mr. Kincaid, do the scales seem durable on this multitool?
They do seem pretty good. I believe they may be a rubberized plastic.
can it lock out to allow usage manually or when battery is dead?
I'll have to double check but there is no specific button to do that but it seems you can turn it with the motor off. Not sure if that damages the motor or not.

@@blade9292 I'll have to look those up. I have always been issued or bought fluke meters for my work, they are definitely bulkier than pocket size.
Mine broke in less than two days of use... The screwdriver no longer turns the motor. I tried to open it and the screws broke too.
That's awful! Hopefully you got your money back!
u should review the diacamping dl1
I'll have to check that out.
If you can’t lock out the driver to use manually, I’ll give it a week before somebody wrecks the gear mechanism.
Could be,. I'll try to test it out some.
Do dat ting come with dread locks ? Man I feel like I need tum Bungie.🚬
What a waste of lithium 😢

The batery.... talk about !!! Is replasable.... are oem avialable... sorry for My bad english 😆
I'm not sure if it is replaceable, if it is that's great! I really like this tool.
Mine died on the 5th screw. The cheapness shows.

3rd! ;)
Typical Chinese design, they make it look "cool & trendy" but it has Zero ergonomics for a human hand.
It's overpriced novelty junk....
It's less than 50$...

This drill is completely out of place here. It doesn't go with any other tool .
