 Leatherman Crunch in a pinch. October 6, 2007
Leatherman Crunch was a Big Hit with my theatre-technical-director son. He finds it handy for all those small, odd jobs for which he doesn't need the big electrical tools.
 CLUNKY TOOL April 10, 2007
Difficult to keep pliers in proper configuration for use. Production quality is excellent, but new design needed for the plier. I am a true fan of Leatherman products but this tool was a waste of money.

If you can only carry one.... May 21, 2006

If you can only carry one tool with you, the Leatherman Crunch would have to be first choice. Shortly after I received mine for Christmas one year (from my kids), we were traveling across northern Arizona. It was Friday afternoon, we were at least 100 miles from any measureable civilization and one of the front brake calipers came loose. It made a lot of noise as it banged against the front wheel. We pulled over and the Crunch was invaluable to re-attach the caliper as the bolts that attached the caliper were a proprietary bolt with a large Torx type head that was rounded on the outside. No other tool (other that the dedicated GM tool) would have been able to grip the rounded outside of this bolt. Five stars isn't really enough!!!
I like it better than the original PST. February 25, 2006

The Crunch is a very rugged quality tool. It lacks an eyeglass screwdriver, but does have three straight blade screwdrivers plus a Phillips driver. I like the locking feature on the screwdrivers and knife blade, and the plier handles do not cut into your fingers like the open handle PST does. A bit more time is required to open the Crunch and get it ready to use as a plier than is the case with the PST. The angle of the one handle on the pliers is awkward to grasp comfortably. I like having a socket for hex bits, but am concerned it would be easy to lose the adjusting screw when removing it to access the socket. I did not think I would like the serrated knife blade, but find it ideal for stripping small wires. (One reviewer said it is difficult to sharpen. The trick to sharpening serrated blades is to hone the flat side of the blade lightly at a very shallow angle.) Because I sometimes want a needle nose plier, I will carry my PST, too. The Leatherman cases are dry and hard. I always apply a leather treatment oil repeatedly until they are softer. I did not need a Crunch, but have always been enamored by them. A gift certificate from my brother allowed me to do something frivolous that I do not regret and that is becoming very practical.
