My mates (one on right) had a slightly looser "clicky together" bit, but apart from that no. His is older and seen more use though :)

(Image removed from quote.)

If you look at the pivot area, you'll see that the thicker jaws are also on opposite sides in this photo.

Judging by what Dave said, it looks like they just flipped the jaws at some point...

The Crunch I got the other day has a pivot like the one on the right in the first pic and an upside down date like the one on the bottom in the second pic. Dated 0303.    :think:   Must be a Crunch from the transitional period.   
What? Enablers! Are you serrrrious? Where? I dont see any.

Right pivot and "right" date stamp here. :) (0607 btw)

Perhaps the upside-down ones were made for the Australian market? :think: :D
