I really want one of these...  LM is going to keep making them I hope.  I can't find a new one online anywhere it seems.  Not really a big fan of the 'bay, but may have to trudge in there and see what's around.

Anyone know of a reputable online retailer that shows these in stock?

Thanks
Don't complain and never explain.

Well it happened, and glad it did! Finally succumbed to the "C" word: I ordered (and got) one. Just like I've read, it is a marvelously engineered tool, exquisite to look and hold; love the capability of using regular or LTG's bits without adapters! Although small, the file is usable (somewhat aggresive since it is of recent manufacture, 01 and 03/20 dates; I understand that earlier models have a finer cut.), and not dinky like the Rev/Sidekick/Wingman/P series' one.
The SE blade is sharp and functional and, dare to say it, I like it. Also to my liking is the pin vise, and integral cutters. Also nice is the two flat and #1-2 Phillip's drivers, which are the sizes that I most commonly used, and not the plethora found in other Leathermans. My only gripes are easily fixed, as the tools are somewhat floppy and my guess is that by tightening the pivot it will be alright and, the tools and adjusting bolt are "gritty" and might need a bit of oil. :tu:

One question though, is the Crunch the only MT without a can opener!?!?!?  :dunno::rofl:

(There is a cameo appeareance of my BOF Wave opening the package.)

Looking forward to joining the club soon!  Paid for one about half an hour ago. It did cost me the equivalent of USD140.  I guess the price isn’t really that bad considering: 1) there is only 1 seller in 4 online platforms (in the Philippines) who have a Crunch for sale. 2) logistics aside, this isn’t even available on LM’s US website right now. 3) it’s relatively cheaper than a Surge, Free P4, or Charge.

I actually spent some time choosing between a Crunch and a Signal Topo. The difference is just USD10. I figured it was like choosing between a sleek head-turning car or a SUV. (I drive a Forester, so there).  Anyway, should I have any extra cash by Christmas, I’m sure there are other sellers with Signal Topos available by then.

Hope it gets here by Monday!

Time to join in! Still getting used to it and the outward swing of the plier head is still quite stiff. Definitely a unique multitool.

Yes, I’m learning to one-hand open it. It’s not gonna set any records but I’ll manage!
