My almost new 2nd hand crunch

[duckman1975]

Bought this almost new 2nd hand crunch in Mabalacat, Pampanga here in the Philippines (near clark airbase). It has a few rust spots but looks very new, bought it for around 66 Dollars. Did I get a good price? Please comment thanks.

It didn't come with shealth. Size comparison with the charge.

[edap617]

For me it's ok at 3,000 pesos Donald. All implements looks unused.

Thanks eddie  I show other multitools in that place called marina archade. Would like to go there again with you and gene we could go bargain hunting 

[duckman1975]

Saw the price at eleatherman, guess its not a bargain after all. But still am very happy with it, its still considered a bargain in this part of the world 

[edap617]

Ok Donald, we will go to that place with Gene on my next trip to Manila. How far is Mabalacat from your place? I think from Manila it is 1.5 hours. I have passed that place several times on my way to Baguio City.

[duckman1975]

Its around 2.5 hour away from our place.

You know how I remove rusts in my tool,  Donald? I use  electric drill attached with a small rotating metal brush. afterwards,  I clean it with Wd40. And I tell you, it will look new!

Thats not a bad price considering what it would of cost to have a new one shipped from the US

Exactly what I was going to say. The going rate for a used, but good condition Crunch would be about £30 here I reckon. The rust spots are no issue at all duckman, the most important thing is that the there are no twists in the tools IMO.

Have you mastered the one-handed opening yet - like at the bottom of this page? It's fun to learn

[Poncho65]

Yeah man if you take shipping into account you got a deal in that little gem     Besides I can't seem to find that good of a deal on Ebay over here it's usually higher after you add shipping

[J-sews]

Nice aquisition you got there Duckman! I'd say you got an okay deal. Plus you already have it in hand, instead of having to wait for it to be shipped in.

[scibeer]

How do you like it so far?    I've been wanting to get one of those.

[Leatherman123]

Duckman, I know how you can get all the rust off easily! Make a concoction of white wine vinegar and baking POWDER... Then, get a toothpick and apply it directly where the rust is! It works like a charm!!

Thought about that gene, scared I might scrach the shiney handles. But used the wd40 already have seen great improvement. Thanks for the suggestion. maybe using a dremel like tool would be safer.

Thanks guys, come to think of it I'm very happy with the deal  Its just sometimes you have to explain it to the wife  Haven't mastered the one hand opening its the pushing the lower handle to the plier head thats giving me trouble, will work on it.

Keep trying Duckman!

Problem is, once you've mastered it you'll never, ever put the damn thing down again!

Fun though

The vice grip works like a charm, haven't put it to its phases yet which I might not (this one may go the my collection) but I reckon you can use it for light, medium to light heavy work. Like boss defs review the metal sticking out when folded really bothers me. all in all its a good tool for it intended purpose.

Can't put down even without mastering one hand opening, Davek  I scare I might wear out the connection holding the lower handle and plier head together, will it?

Well I haven't yet! It's tougher than we are duckman - you'll be going some to wear it out.

Anyhow, if you do they'll send you a new one

I agree with the crunch like other leatherman tool are well made and well thought of. The guy or gal the designed the crunch is very good, couldn't image folding a vice grip to the size of the PST bery ingeneous. And the other implements it carry though few is just about right.
Have you mastered one hand opening?

[duckman1975]

For those who edc the crunch how do you carry yours? plan to carry it with the SURGE.

For those who edc the crunch how do you carry yours? plan to carry it with the SURGE.

In the old style black Leatherman sheath, right next to my Spirit.
