The file/screwdriver is a waste and its cumbersome to use but the visegrip pliers are great

I have a Leatherman Wave, a PST and an assortment of Micras (they tend to get lost). This company makes good stuff. The Crunch has a clever design. Who knew you could fit fully functional vise grips in a small belt pouch? The only downside is that the mechanics required to pull off this feat limit the space available for other tools. This tool will get lots of use, but the lack of a plain blade and scissors dimishes its jack-of-all-trades function a bit.

This is the best multi-tool I've seen, but the sheath is a piece of junk which is a shame since the tool is too large and bulky to carry in your pocket.

When I bought my Crunch, I already owned a Leatherman SuperTool and Wave, so I was already familiar with Leatherman quality and versatility. My intention when I purchased the Crunch was to have a great companion tool for my others, and I haven't been dissappointed. Whenever I need an extra hand to hold down what I'm working on, or two screwdrivers, or a wriench and screwdriver at the same time, the Crunch comes through. 9 times out of 10, it's the vise-grip that I'm using, so this is the most important thing to me. Being in the Army, it's important that the equipment I work with works, because the alternative is unacceptable. Whether it's here in the states, or walking the streets of Baghdad, the Crunch works for me every time and I keep it with me everywhere I go.

I got the crunch because it was different and unique. A helpful tool to have around the garage, and thats eactly what it is. Once this thing latches on to say, a stripped nut, it's not coming off. I was amazed when I saw the crunch unfold into extremely effective vice grips, then fold it back up into a tiny ractangle. Theres nothing wrong with this super tool. Never have I seen anything "crunch" this hard. When i first got it, I crushed a plastic pen to try it out. It shattered. I then moved on to the garage. I latched its shark jaw onto a stripped nut. This thing gives so much torque. I yanked and yanked but this was on tight. The crunch is also good to take on bike rides. It tightens the chain and all of the other hex nuts on it. The crunch is like every other leathrerman, except with less tools and a far better set of pliers. This, and the micra, are the most used of my leatherman collection. (read my micra review).
