Honestly. I don't think anything is made to be useful anymore. Maybe a special thing here or there. but most everything is garbage now. Everything in Walmart, pure trash. Target, pure trash. Just think about anything you have bought in the last year. Where is it now? Most likely in the trash. I often think...When I feel like spending some money...I want to buy something that is going to last and means something. Not saying there isn't some good stuff out there...but I can't think of much. and most everything is cheap and only made to sell, so you will need to replace it within a year. I want stuff to last at least 5-10 years before I even consider replacing it. And not because it is worn out or broken...but because I want a newer version or its just a good time to replace it. But nothing like that exists.
There's this new breed of con-people out there for the last decade or so: the crowdsourced novelty peddler. It's anything, literally anything, these days: shoes, pants, ropes, cutlery, pens... And, of course, for the most part, tools and electronic gadgets. There are, of course - or this wouldn't work - all those people that can't resist novelty. They always dream it up as being some magic solution that'll be easy to use and very rewarding and all... And are repeatedly duped. So, yeah, as long as crowdsourcing exists, you're gonna see a lot of those around, mostly drowning real tools on search results (unless you know what you're looking for).

It's pretty well known that wood always absorbs shock better than plastic in handles. There's also no ergonomic curves. I'm not that experienced at using a hatchet, but some of these things are pretty basic facts. Aluminum is another material that doesn't absorb shock that well. I know this because I have aluminum bikes. I stand when I ride them, so I don't ruin my prostate.
Of course it does, because for the average man the dream is to be the movie type survivor. So it has to look cool, that means that you've got it, you're going to figure everything out somehow. At least that's what sells a 600 $ survival tool you will throw in your truck and that might be really handy eventually.

this is item is priced for the wealthy, yet it is only usable within a hobby that mostly less-than-wealthy people participate in, camping/wilderness survival. terrible marketing strategy - your comment made me realize there is almost zero market for this product. anyone who'd buy this, wouldn't use it, and those who could use it, wouldn't buy it.
Glamping is a portmanteau of "glamorous" and "camping", and describes a style of camping with amenities and, in some cases, resort-style services not usually associated with "traditional" camping --- Damn city-basters
usually, in life, when you need a tool, you need a specific, purposefully built tool. I don't know of any multi tool which is better than an individual tool. Even a leather man tool is only useful to a certain point and then even a leather man tool fails to be as useful as a separate tool. Fun review!
Multi tools like leather man's are time savers only. When you just need to tighten that single bolt or cut something small, the multi tool in your pocket is a lot faster then going and finding that purpose built tool. But if i'm going out camping or bushcrafting I already brought my tools with me, if its for my car the space savings don't really matter as an ax, saw and knife are not much larger. As Cody was saying, it looks pretty enough to fool some guys who don't know better.
Just wanted to take this chance to thank you for all you do on youtube. Your tool evaluations are honest and absolutely fair. You are a valuable person and I just wanted to send congrats from a long time (85 year old) subscriber. God bless you and your work.
Please. He just stated the obvious. If you just carry the few tools this multi tool tries to combine for 600$, you will have better tools for less money and not even that mutch more weight.
@@UA-camSupportTeams But as a kickstarter they barely paid anything out the door. Even then they still made out by getting community funded for a device that no one in their right mind would buy except for folks who review the thing to tell you it is so unnecessary. 600 dollars could get you fully outfitted at Walmart, and still have enough for Texas Roadhouse/Longhorns on the way home
it's neat to have a tool kit inside the handle of the largest tool, but a hollow handle never really does the trick for hammering. this whole multi-tool thing started with Swiss Army knives, and the Leatherman got the great idea of making folding pliers with various blades/tools in the pliers handle(s). But a hammer or an ax has not been effectively made into a multi-tool because of the trauma involved when hitting that hard with it. I want to design a tool handle that when fully assembled would work as walking stick, and then that stick could be broken down such that an axe head, shovel head, saw blade, spear blade, hoe, etc., could be fitted to the handle-securely fitting them would be the challenge. I think threading the pieces could work if there was another hole through the threaded socket of the tool heads and the threaded handle end so that a retaining pin could be inserted to stop the head from spinning loose. I think i could make something far more useful and practical than this and sell it for 250 or 300. The heads could be stored in a heavy canvas bag and lashed to a backpack or camping gear. Again, the tools would have to be well thought out so that they could fit tightly into the canvas bag, perhaps semi-nested. The shovel would be the main challenge, but it wouldn't as big as a standard shovel, closer to a trench tool.
@shut up any millennial who is gonna be pratting around with this is gonna be the kind of person who'd use it. I don't think this is the work of a young person, I think it's probably the brain child of a company executive who has spent their career in an office in a bustling city. Nobody who would use it.
Thank you for the honest review of this. My wife was looking at possibly buying me something like this as she knows I need something for my go bag and it looked like it had all the right tools at the right weight (Though the version she found is a slight bit cheaper). Now we know this is definitely NOT going in my go bag.
I need to sleep. But I've also never used any tools in my life and this seems like a good opportunity to watch a review of a tool I'd never use. Thanks, UA-cam! 🙂✌️
I'm not fully up to date on my Wranglerstar watching, but to my recollection this is the only "survival tool" that completed the job and survived! To me, the look of it and the appraisal of it make it sound like a proof of concept for someone who has the final product in mind as something that is actually ergonomic and much more affordable. It would be a decent success if that were the case. The realistic route, I think, is using the patents in other tool lines, either make simpler/better ones from the ground up or license/sell them to bigger companies.
I love the concept of a multi-tool, though I've never found an exception to: purpose built items winning out over hybrid compromise fluff. That said, I would love to see someone like you self in contact with the designers looking to fix every gripe you could muster at them and see if something this interesting could ever stand on it's own legs!
Even the best example I know of (Leatherman Surge) is still heavily compromised compared to dedicated tools. It just happens to be built well enough that it manages to be good enough for most things. I don't want to carry that many tools around all day every day but the Surge is a decent compromise. This combar thing? Garbage
tbh having a complete toolkit in that formfactor would be nice bc you can realistically put it in your backpack without giving up too much space. But for that price id expect some better engineering and quality control
@@TheMoose126 oddly enough that's a misquote the actual phrase is longer and means the opposite: Jack-of-all-trades, Master of none, is often better than master of one, its specifically for humans, and its telling you to do more than only one thing
Another misquoted phrase is: you cant have your cake and eat it too, it's a translation error the actual phrase is "you cant eat your cake and have it too" this better implies that you cant eat your cake and still have it in front of you.
8:08 sums up my thoughts of most survival tools pretty much. What I took away from this is that a folding digger on a good quality hatchet might be nice. On the other hand my red army surplus folding shovel only cost me 6 bucks and chops so well I'm sometimes tempted to leave my hatchet at home. I'm happy to see you're still making videos. You got a subscriber today. Thanks for the quality content.
Well duh, but the whole point is that it is multi purpose. It can do many things, passably well. Not as well as dedicated tools, but if you want to carry around a hammer, a hatchet, a trenching type tool, a knife, a saw... you've just filled a backpack with junk. This thing should be able to hang from a lanyard. The best tool is the tool you have with you, not the fantastic tool you have at home and wish you had. Not saying this tool is great or anything, just saying that there are cases where the tradeoffs make multi-purpose worth it.
@@cr0ft-2k Yeah it's an obvious fact, but this tool doesn't require all that much less space or provide savings over the cheaper, better tools it's trying to replace. It's a failure of a multi-tool. For less than $100 we can buy a nice hatchet/axe and military shovel. There are multi-tools like plier/wire-stripper combos that work well, but I don't think this tool does. Edit: I totally agree, in a practical sense, a single tool that does everything worse, but with more convenience can be better. I don't think this particular tool provides any additional convenience.
@@cr0ft-2k "The best tool is the tool you have with you" That's a bad excuse to carry bad tools. The tool you have with you is the tool you take with you. There's absolutely no reason to take this 600 dollar abomination in favor of a dedicated hatchet and a saw. Let's say you take a gransfors hatchet (not a cheap axe) and a silky pocket boy. You have arguably two top of the line tools for a 3rd of the price that perform twice or three times better, weigh less and occupy roughly the same space. Ok so what about the knife and the spade? Well, first of all you should have a dedicated knife on your belt, not in the handle of your multitool. But let's say you somehow find yourself in a situation where you lost your main knife. You can use the hatchet for anything you would use the knife and you can use a sharpened stick to dig. Sure, not as good, but considering that most of the survival stuff you'd be using your multitool for is wood processing: shelter, fire, traps, other bushcraft stuff, your setup is gonna be so much better at that, it will save you a lot of precious time and energy for extra digging if you really really have to. The point of cramming so many functions in one tool is not because you need them, it's solely to impress the hipsters that are gonna buy it.
Its def expensive, but I think its more for preppers than for survivalists. Sure a prepper should have other good quality tools, but for a bug out bag this looks to be amazing for how compact it is
I love the difference in vibes between the lone man in the woods wearing flannel, the calming classical music in the background, then the random AR leaning against a tree. Good work.
A little late to the party, but catching up on your videos some. Great content and very helpful information all around! I can only imagine the hand pains it caused, particularly with the rattling or "pinging" whenever you'd strike... anything really.
Obviously, because he was letting his viewers know that he would be posting a video about that particular tool soon. A better question is why does it bother you?
For me it’s like carrying a Swiss Army knife it gets the job done but if you want a really effective tool its best to have a tool dedicated for the job
Probably intended to be left in the glovebox of your vehicle (or stuffed into a side pocket of your haversack when hiking) for "just in case", not to replace proper tools for everyday use and so the feature tools in this thing are "good enough" but have to fit into the handle or fold out of the head, rather than be the most comfortable to use.
Fluck that. I can get a used chainsaw for $100 with gas, a 36" axe for $10(I know it is still in the forest 3 years ago) so I can buy a second one. Knife, you call that a knife? 15" croc killer. A Bic for $1 Hammer for free.(back edge of axe) A schit shovel for prospecting. Have not made $200 yet.

@Kaiser Franz von Lappen der 2. Thanks for giving a shout out to Hungary.
usually, in life, when you need a tool, you need a specific, purposefully built tool. I don't know of any multi tool which is better than an individual tool. Even a leather man tool is only useful to a certain point and then even a leather man tool fails to be as useful as a separate tool. Fun review!
Multi tools like leather man's are time savers only. When you just need to tighten that single bolt or cut something small, the multi tool in your pocket is a lot faster then going and finding that purpose built tool. But if i'm going out camping or bushcrafting I already brought my tools with me, if its for my car the space savings don't really matter as an ax, saw and knife are not much larger. As Cody was saying, it looks pretty enough to fool some guys who don't know better.
the best example of a failed multi tool is the spork.
Just wanted to take this chance to thank you for all you do on youtube. Your tool evaluations are honest and absolutely fair. You are a valuable person and I just wanted to send congrats from a long time (85 year old) subscriber. God bless you and your work.

THIS IS THE COMMENT I WAS LOOKING FOR
I'm all for 2nd amendment but they are useless against drones
it's neat to have a tool kit inside the handle of the largest tool, but a hollow handle never really does the trick for hammering. this whole multi-tool thing started with Swiss Army knives, and the Leatherman got the great idea of making folding pliers with various blades/tools in the pliers handle(s). But a hammer or an ax has not been effectively made into a multi-tool because of the trauma involved when hitting that hard with it.
I want to design a tool handle that when fully assembled would work as walking stick, and then that stick could be broken down such that an axe head, shovel head, saw blade, spear blade, hoe, etc., could be fitted to the handle-securely fitting them would be the challenge. I think threading the pieces could work if there was another hole through the threaded socket of the tool heads and the threaded handle end so that a retaining pin could be inserted to stop the head from spinning loose. I think i could make something far more useful and practical than this and sell it for 250 or 300. The heads could be stored in a heavy canvas bag and lashed to a backpack or camping gear. Again, the tools would have to be well thought out so that they could fit tightly into the canvas bag, perhaps semi-nested. The shovel would be the main challenge, but it wouldn't as big as a standard shovel, closer to a trench tool.

I'm not fully up to date on my Wranglerstar watching, but to my recollection this is the only "survival tool" that completed the job and survived!
To me, the look of it and the appraisal of it make it sound like a proof of concept for someone who has the final product in mind as something that is actually ergonomic and much more affordable. It would be a decent success if that were the case. The realistic route, I think, is using the patents in other tool lines, either make simpler/better ones from the ground up or license/sell them to bigger companies.

I love the concept of a multi-tool, though I've never found an exception to: purpose built items winning out over hybrid compromise fluff.
That said, I would love to see someone like you self in contact with the designers looking to fix every gripe you could muster at them and see if something this interesting could ever stand on it's own legs!
Even the best example I know of (Leatherman Surge) is still heavily compromised compared to dedicated tools. It just happens to be built well enough that it manages to be good enough for most things. I don't want to carry that many tools around all day every day but the Surge is a decent compromise. This combar thing? Garbage

What I took away from this is that a folding digger on a good quality hatchet might be nice. On the other hand my red army surplus folding shovel only cost me 6 bucks and chops so well I'm sometimes tempted to leave my hatchet at home.
I'm happy to see you're still making videos. You got a subscriber today. Thanks for the quality content.
Nearly everything multi-purpose are worse than dedicated tools.
What suits for everything, doesn't suit for anything.
But this is. Just look at that saw compared to a silky saw, it's literally 10 times slower.
Well duh, but the whole point is that it is multi purpose. It can do many things, passably well. Not as well as dedicated tools, but if you want to carry around a hammer, a hatchet, a trenching type tool, a knife, a saw... you've just filled a backpack with junk. This thing should be able to hang from a lanyard. The best tool is the tool you have with you, not the fantastic tool you have at home and wish you had. Not saying this tool is great or anything, just saying that there are cases where the tradeoffs make multi-purpose worth it.
@@cr0ft-2k Yeah it's an obvious fact, but this tool doesn't require all that much less space or provide savings over the cheaper, better tools it's trying to replace. It's a failure of a multi-tool. For less than $100 we can buy a nice hatchet/axe and military shovel. There are multi-tools like plier/wire-stripper combos that work well, but I don't think this tool does.
Edit: I totally agree, in a practical sense, a single tool that does everything worse, but with more convenience can be better. I don't think this particular tool provides any additional convenience.
@@cr0ft-2k "The best tool is the tool you have with you"
That's a bad excuse to carry bad tools. The tool you have with you is the tool you take with you. There's absolutely no reason to take this 600 dollar abomination in favor of a dedicated hatchet and a saw. Let's say you take a gransfors hatchet (not a cheap axe) and a silky pocket boy. You have arguably two top of the line tools for a 3rd of the price that perform twice or three times better, weigh less and occupy roughly the same space. Ok so what about the knife and the spade? Well, first of all you should have a dedicated knife on your belt, not in the handle of your multitool. But let's say you somehow find yourself in a situation where you lost your main knife. You can use the hatchet for anything you would use the knife and you can use a sharpened stick to dig. Sure, not as good, but considering that most of the survival stuff you'd be using your multitool for is wood processing: shelter, fire, traps, other bushcraft stuff, your setup is gonna be so much better at that, it will save you a lot of precious time and energy for extra digging if you really really have to.
The point of cramming so many functions in one tool is not because you need them, it's solely to impress the hipsters that are gonna buy it.
The fact that this exists indicates that some people have more money than sense.
@tangobayus - Yep! 👍🏻
It's an interesting concept. If they worked with a Craftsman who makes tools like this they could really get something going
I totally agree, anyone want to buy 3 slightly used ones 😉😜

Probably intended to be left in the glovebox of your vehicle (or stuffed into a side pocket of your haversack when hiking) for "just in case", not to replace proper tools for everyday use and so the feature tools in this thing are "good enough" but have to fit into the handle or fold out of the head, rather than be the most comfortable to use.
For that money, I bet you could purchase one of each of the tools there for less price and they would all work better.
