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?
Sharing is... /forgot Quote from: LeathermanJim,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

Just got one of these for fun, finally found a cheap one on the forums (usually they are WAY more than a used Wave or Juice). It's really cool! I can see them updating it with a bit driver ect. someday, but really there isn't a lot of room in there for much, so I suspect you would have to sacrifice one flat head and the philips to add the bit driver, but wouldn't be the worst trade off. Mine is marked 09/10 on one side but the quality is old school, the implements seem to be stamped/cast and well polished like say on the old model Wave rather than the functional but somewhat ugly MIM parts you see in most current Leathermans. The locking tab might be MIM or cast, I can't tell, as it's very well polished. Love the little serrated blade, Sharpmaker with ultra fine rods made it wickedly sharp.
Hey Mat buddy whats that knurled gizmo stuck in the end of your MT.O tool?

What is all in that MTO box looking critter? How much are they too?? /ducks
Seen a mod somewhere (just cannot find it) where someone had welded a loop on the end of their adjuster for lanyard/tool lashing carry. Thought that was neat. Wished I had remembered to post a photo of it.

Could also of been to keep from losing the screw when using the Crunch as a hex driver.
Getting pretty good at it... I wouldnt even bother trying 2 tools at once since my left arm and hand are virtually only good for visual aesthetics.

It feels weird to put in on the right, I'm just so used to pulling it from the left side and selecting the tool needed with my right hand. When I'm done working it's natural to put the tool away with my right while my left pushes the lock, then I fold the tool one handed with my left and put it up. It's the only thing I really use my left side for, but it's crucial!
