Leatherman is the name the associates itself with multi-tools. Leatherman have innovated tools that are high quality. The Crunch is no exception. The Leatherman Crunch deviates from standard Leatherman designs in which the main tool is not a needle nose pliers. The Crunch is equipped with locking pliers instead. Locking pliers are also known as vice-grips. Leatherman knows the value of vice-grips and offers their version to us with the Crunch. Vice-grips are great. The free up your hand for other tasks.
The Crunch is compact. More so than the Leatherman Wave. The design is well thought out. The Crunch comes apart and it takes a few seconds to put together. The result is a very portable mid-size functional vice-grip. The Crunch feels well built like all Leathermans. It is high quality. The Crunch comes with Leatherman's 25 year warranty. The Crunch looks like it is built to last.
The Crunch is equipped with 13 tools but I will only mention a few. The main tools you will be using are the vice-grips, the serrated blade, the flat-head screwdriver, and the file. The rest of the tools are slightly redundant. The Crunch does not have nearly the amount of tools as a Charge but I would consider the Crunch as a complimentary multi-tool. It is best coupled with another small multi-tool. Some people do not need certain tools so it's best to get the tools you only need. For instance, some people do not drink wine often and they do not see the need for a corkscrew.
While the Crunch lacks tools, the main tool makes up for it. Through the function of it's design, I can see how difficult it must be to incorporate many additional tools into the Crunch. For this reason, I am satisfied with the Crunch. I have other multi-tools and the Crunch is very good in comparison. What I did not like was the redundancy. For instance, I have 3 different sizes of flat-head screwdrivers. I do not need all of that. What nice though, the Crunch can be expanded. You can unscrew the adjustment knob all the way to reveal a hex driver slot. This makes for a very handy bit driver. Nice addition to have.
Right now I carry the Crunch in my day pack with my Victorinox Soldier. I carry My Spyderco Caly 3 on my person and these tools are perfect for my needs. If you are in the market for a nice secondary multi-tool, the Crunch is perfect. I say secondary tool because I believe the Crunch does not fulfill the role completely like a Leatherman Wave, Charge, or Victorinox Champ. The Crunch couple with another multi-tool will complete your portable tool box perfectly. If you need a third hand, the Crunch is the right tool for you. Currently, it is the only multi-tool on the market with a functional vice grip. I purchased my Crunch for about $45. Shop around. I highly recommend the Leatherman Crunch if you are in the market for a great multi-tool.
