I'm hardly fond of the Crucial, but this is a pretty good deal.  I'm going to order it simply because it's such a good price.  If I end up hating it, I have a brother in law who I know will love it.

Hard to beat the price even just to play with it

oh, and get it:)

I've not heard of the strap cutter version of the Crucial before.  Good price as well.

Great spot on that one Heinz!

No worries! 

I was taking a break from writing a homework assignment for one of my classes (which sometimes seems like is more of an ordeal than having a tooth pulled), and was taking a break and cruising around on Amazon and found it.  My first thought was, "Wow, that's cool, even for a Crucial".  My second thought was "I need to share this on MTO!" 

I still haven't pulled the trigger though... it is cool... but it is a Crucial...    That curl on the upper handle is a pain.  Literally.  The green one I had always dug into the side of my hand whenever I'd try to use the pliers. 

If I do buy one, it'll only be because I don't have a BO style tool yet, and would like to have one, not because I really need, or honestly like, the Crucial.

I bought this from amazon-UK almost a month ago  for £30 +£3 post.

I only bought it as i thought it was a bargain, not a big fan of the crucial but for that money you can not moan, especially as the knife is half decent.

It's funky.   I don't know if it's BO, but it's black, at least.

Gah...I kinda want this...

It's between this and the LM Wingman.  I love my Skeletool but sometimes I just need that extra tool or two...and i think Wingman will cover it, but something about this black Crucial is drawing me in.  Never had a Gerber though...

Crucial's are interesting little tools.  I had a green one I EDC'd for a while but found the only things I used on it regularly were the blade and the screwdrivers, and when I did try to use the pliers, the weird little curve in the handle always gouged my palm.

I ended up gifting it actually.  For a pocket size Gerber tool, I prefer the Octane.
