So, a practical use today  :ahhh
I used the Crunch to assist with topping up the ageing boiler  ::) (I'm NOT referring to Mrs Surge  :twak: )

However, this was preceded by replacing the batteries in the magnetic light type thing that resides in the cupboard allowing me to see what the bloody hell I was doing  ;)

I always use a knife to strip wires but since Mr Crunch have a serrated blade I have to use the built in striper. It is surprisingly good. You need to press down, like as if you are trying to cut the wire.

“The one with the door” a classic 30 day challenge picture :)

I prefer a dedicated Philips, like the one on the Crunch or the one on the Rebar. You get more reach and it doesn’t feel as clumsy as a bit exchanger.
I don’t want to be with out the bit exchanger on a tool like the Charge or the Surge, I wish I hade both.

Great in use pic, Niro :like: I like the dedicated drivers as well as a bit driver as well :salute: I made a Charge knife and it is basically one handle of a Charge with knife, diamond file, scissors and bit driver :tu: the bit driver has the long reach Phillips/flat driver bit and it has all kinds of reach :woohoo: kinda the best of both worlds that way :cheers:

I have seen your Charge knife and I really like it. I wanted the long Letterman bit ever since I first saw it.

No Leathermans bit driver doesn’t fit. But Mr Crunch don’t need it because he can do this!

Yes, it fits :cheers: Just goes on at an angle but it works :cheers:

That would be a stronger option if you have one though :salute:

No, not perfectly but his question was does it fit and it does ;) Your option, as I said, is stronger but the bit adapter with bits is much smaller to carry than a whole kit :cheers:

If you could change it with the Phillips from say, a Rebar then that would fit better but it looks like completely different geometry?  :think:

The new style wouldn't fit in, or at least I think it would not allow the Crunch to close :think:

I've also found the wire stripper on the Crunch to be surprisingly good :cheers:

My guess is that the Crunch's Phillips wasn't designed to take the RBD and it fits by accident.
Either way, they mention them as being compatible on their website:
