The original ones weren't that bad but I bought one of the more recent releases of a CrossCut a while back and it was complete crap. Good luck with your search.
I have a brand new Vic Farmer that's never seen any use if you're interested. PM me for possible trade.

I have one on my keychain over any of the modern leatherman/gerber offerings, no plan to retire it yet.Tried to use it to extract a broken key from a lock once, didn't work because of the damn thing manage to literally squish the small stub of brass sticking out, no damage at all to the pliers.
I have an original USA-made SOG Crossgrip, but it is a shelf queen. Got it as a curiosity on sale years ago, played with it, then put it away in the drawer.The pliers are strong, though the handles aren't that comfortable. On the other hand, the geared jaws means that you don't have to use much pressure to grasp an object. Haven't tried the Crossgrip's other tools.
There's a minor bidding war going on US eBay over a used SOG Crossgrip - the price is up to $57.00 and the auction isn't finished yet (for a used one )Maybe the price of these is on the move (upwards), or maybe it's just two enthusiastic people squabbling over a discontinued tool that you don't see for sale very often any more ?
