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 has 13 functional tools built in. I will not talk about them all but I will talk about the main tools and the ones you will be using the most. The vice-grips, serrated blade, large flat-head screwdriver, and file are the tools that will see duty the most on the Crunch. The Crunch does not have nearly as much tools as the Wave or Charge but I consider the Crunch a complimentary multi-tool. That may sound strange since to purpose of multi-tools is to fill many roles when needed, but sometimes, it is good to have 2 different multi-tools that have only the tools you need. Some people, like myself, have no need for a corkscrew so I should not carry a multi-tool with things I do not need. It would just add weight.
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.
The Crunch is a great complimentary multi-tool. Having something is better than nothing and the Crunch can meet many needs from day to day. The crunch is perfect when coupled with the Victorinox Soldier. While not as complete as a Wave or a Charge, the Crunch can still hold it's own in the sea of multi-tools. You can find the Crunch on sale for about $50.
