Getting quite a bit of use out of my cheapo crunch clone, mainly clamping with little use of the other tools (always got a quality MT with me too). The file has been fine on small brass fittings, but pretty useless on anything more ferrous.

It's still good for the money tho, so good that I've put my real LM Crunch in the EDC Swap section as I don't use it at all :)

Anybody else bought one from the Italian ebay seller?  It's taken 16 days for him to update to shipped status.  I really hope it didn't actually take him this long to ship it out.

Finally got it in the mail today.  Took him half a month to actually ship it out and then half a month in transit.  The one from the Italian ebay seller has no markings or printing on the tool.  It comes in a cardboard retail box that says fosco industries.  The lanyard ring doesn't have enough room to be folded in with the rest of the tools.  I can force it in but then the rest of the tools are jammed up and need a screw driver or something to pick them back out.

How many iterations does it take to make it completely useless?

Since silverline doesn't manufacture the tool and from looking at the pictures, I would say what I have is the exact same tool as the silverline but without the silverline name printed on it.  Just did a search and found more sources for the fosco version

Mine is still working fine but TBH I only use the locking plier facility, not the other tools.

 LOL...why don't you use the Crunch, have a nice set of pliers AND tools, and have the cheapo around for a backup?  :think: I bring this up because you said you carry a quality MT around also. Would the Crunch by itself do everything you want?

Keep in mind that the first version we saw of this tool was branded as 'Jack Pyke', so the fact it's now no longer branded as Silverline isn't that big a surprise. :)

I ordered one from the Italian ebay vendor. It took just over two weeks to arrive - just after Christmas 2013. Supplied in a nylon/polyester case packed in a cardboard box the thing is branded "Fosco Industries" Art No. 2000.
Build quality falls well below that of a genuine Leatherman Crunch. I have never owned a tool that felt so gritty when new. After thorough cleaning with WD40, drying and then lubricating with silicone grease it now is adequate.
The self gripping pliers now work reasonably well, only time will tell how well the stonewashed stainless steel tool will wear.
For £10 + delivery this tool is okay but not great.
