THE Crunch Owners Thread

[evil510]

nice crunch there evil510

i nominate you chapter president of the Crunch Owners Club

Why thank you for the honor Pacu..... 

That is an amazing mod evil510 

Like the scissors and the love the glass breaker 

Thank you. I am forever using scissors and always try to install a set on all my multitools. Even istalled a set on my Skeletool.....

My official entry in to the Crunch Owners Club

Welcome to the club! I love my Crunch. It really is in a league of its own. I have found it indispensable as a third helping hand when working on projects.....

Ok evil510 you've convinced me  one day,one day!  I'll be able to join this club.

If I have convinced even one person to get a Crunch then my job has been done..... 

[evil510]

Hey gang. I will do a more in depth post with more photos on this mod when I am able to but here is a preview....

Rehaped the frame of scissors to compliment the new curve I put on the handle as well as the curve of the new spring. Old hole for spring also reshaped to flow with rest of the design. Drilled and installed new pin to lock the new custom spring.....


Here they are in the deployed/open position. I designed the spring so it only engages when the scissors are fully deployed and locked.....


Here they are in the deployed but unlocked position. Once unlocked the spring disengages allowing the scissors to fold down, flush with the top of the handle. Notice they close opposite of what they use to. No more having to flip the handle 180 degrees just to fold them down!.....


Fully closed inside of the tool. While there is no more nail nick, this actually works out better and almost feels like it was meant to be.....

Good work!

[sawman]

That is one of the most interested mods I've seen in awhile. It's a shame you don't have the resources to produce your own multi-tools..... I imagine there'd be quite a market for them 

[MultiMat]

Evilman your work is again flippen amazing 

I would be keen to get a pic of the tools you use to do your mods mate 

[redlined50]

  hey guys I'm new to the forum just thought i would say HI!! oh yea and here are some pics of mu crunch i just picked it.

FYI I was checking out some of those build dates and check out what mine says! I think this one would suit Evil pretty good.

[Pacu]

Congrats on being a new recruit for the Crunch Owners Club.  Nice pocket clip too

[sawman]

Welcome, I see how the pocket clip could be useful...

[redlined50]

Indeed, depending on which angle look at that build date, it suits me just fine lol. Nice clip, by the way I hereby officially welcome you to the Crunch owners club!

Finally got it. Aint fast or purdy but its OHO. Need more pratice.   

[kl27x]

I'm not very good OHO, either. But I can open a Crunch in under 1 second using 2 hands.

[Firemedic]

Hey folks. New here / already posted the required intro: I have 1 and I love it but then again, I have a love for all of my Leatherman tools.

F.M.

[Mercury]

My new one will be here next week so I can re-enter then.

[Outback in Idaho]

There's a Crunch club too? 

0303 - Small screwdriver was modified to an awl out of necessity. Nothing fancy, used it for just about everything, and it really got worked out during arc welding classes. Used to EDC it with a Wave.

Now that is a worthwhile club

Jim,
The Crunch was first introduced in 1999 just a year after the first model of the Wave and shortly before the Pulse. The Crunch was actually Tim Leatherman's original idea for a multi-tool but unfortunately he did not have all of the manufacturing capabilities to make it in the late 1980's. There have been slight manufacturing improvements over time but you’re correct in saying that no Anniversary models have been manufactured. I will pass this idea on to the design team about some type of limited edition Anniversary Crunch in the future. Michael @LTG

And I'm back!!  Got a crunch in the mail today, love it!  I think it will stay on my belt with my pulse.  Problem is, now I have 3 LM's on me, the pulse, crunch, and juice SC2.  I can't decide which to carry!  Does that make me weird?

That depends on whether you mean "out there in the world amongst normal people" weird...

..or "on the web with a bunch of people who spend their free time talking about their multi-tool collections" weird.
