 :ahhh :ahhh

Guys, need a little help here —

Can I ask for a picture of the tools sequence of the Crunch? I kinda took mine apart and I’m not sure if I assembled it correctly.  Well, Philips in the center, blade on the top, file on the bottom and that’s all I remember.

Does anyone have the washer sequence as well please?  :whistle:

I wanted to attach a pocket clip but it goes on the knife side taking advantage of the diameter of the screw where the tools pivot.  Unfortunately, I didn’t catch the washer sequence when the tools fell off.

That's why you always take pics before you disassemble  :whistle: :pok: :D

I know the feeling of not :facepalm: :rofl:

I have a couple pics for you of the tool layout and this is my older one so who knows, it may have more washers than a new one :dunno:

Coming from yhe file side it is, washer, file, lanyard ring, washer, small flat, washer, Phillips, washer, large flat, washer and then knife blade :salute: hope that helps :cheers:

Thank you very much Poncho!

I have to admit that the Crunch has some very unique looking washers!

Much appreciated! I’ll work on it tomorrow in the hope of being able to put a pocket clip in as well.

Proof of concept. 

It’s a straight drop-in.  The original picture I saw had the person make a notch on the Crunch’s frame for the top part of the clip.  Even if I had the means, I don’t want to cut a notch on a USD100 tool so I’d rather just hammer on a clip off a USD6 tool.  I’ll probably go with tension and something aside from superglue.

The pivot goes thru the pocket clip, then to the frame, then the implements, before exiting the other side.

I got family stuff all the way til the weekend so I’ll let you know what happens on Monday!

picked one up yesterday for $10 at my local flea market. It is dated 09/99. I know they were brought out in 99 but does anyone know what month they came out?

It’s not perfect but it’s functional. It’s not as tight as I want it to be but the tension of the clip is just right in preventing it from being an annoyance.
