Is the GOAT Modular Multi-Tool the Future of This Tool Category?
I love my multi-tools. I’ve had and used several for decades. But, spend any time with them and you start to have little annoyances with each tool, which draws you to a different tool that solves those issues (while introducing others). Rinse, repeat.
The GOAT is an attempt at creating the greatest of all time multi-tool, with among other awesome features, tools you can swap out and remove to use away from the tool itself.
Dominic of Maxlvledc backed the GOAT on Indiegogo and in this video he shares his thoughts and reactions to the final tool.
I want one.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
