Enjoyed the video Poncho and love the accent too.  My recent one is from 2011.   

I wanted a Crunch when I first laid eyes on it.  I finally got one then a month or so ago picked up a second.  I was so stoked and immediately put it to work. 



Thanks Aloha :hatsoff: and great pic  :like: :like:

I recently used my Crunch to put a handle on a pot, and I love that the pliers can lock!

Is the Crunch coming back?

Will it be available here in the UK?

If not, how much should I expect to pay for an example please?

Thanks for the reply.
I contacted Leatherman UK, (aka Whitby), and they have stated "We regret that the Leatherman Crunch is now sold out and discontinued here in the UK we are not aware that this has been re-released for sale." But on YouTube there are various videos showing the Crunch is back.

The Crunch was back in stock just this past week here in the US :dunno: perhaps the demand is so high here that they aren't shipping bit abroad just to try and keep up :-\

  HI guys. Been looking at your Crunch pictures.  Very nice!  I use one at work almost every day.  It has seen a lot of light use and occasional hard use.  Doesn't look new anymore, but still functions perfectly.  Got a little too close to the welder a time or two.

Greetings from Switzerland. I was just wondering if a  bench clamp was available for the Crunch.
I use one with my Mole wrench and find it very useful as a third hand.

Nothing from LM and I am not sure if anyone makes something like that for a Crunch :think:

I hope you can find something that meets your needs though :salute: :tu:

Should be OK now. I had it as public, but, for some reason, it was changed to Private  !!

So here is an interesting tidbit...

I decided to buy another Crunch (directly from Leatherman).  Since they were out of stock for such a long time, I expected a somewhat recent date in the handle.  Instead, my handles were made in August of 2020... it makes me wonder how many manufactured parts they have sitting around waiting to be assembled.  :think:

No telling what is setting in a parts bin there :ahhh

I wonder which parts they have few of to not be able to keep them in stock :think: perhaps the vise grip jaws :think: :dunno:

Also, congrats on getting another :woohoo:  :like:

I just checked the dates on the new one that I recently got and they are also 0820 but the tool side date is 0518. I think Poncho could be right about the plier head.
