I’ve just found a photo I took a year ago today.

Thought you might like it.

 

I’d just bought the Mr Crunch for a ridiculous amount of money and thought it’d be fun to get a picture of it with another tool with unusual jaws.

Nice shot  :tu:

It begs a question though. Is the Mr Crunch that much better :pok: I sincerely hope so  :think:

If I’d been able to get the Mr Crunch for retail price, I would be happy saying it feels twice as nice as the Dual Force and would be carried twice as often.

At the prices I paid, the Gerber is an interesting tool, basically an occasional carry or glove box spare. I agree with others about the less than brilliant file, but I do like the screwdriver and pliers.
Mr Crunch is obviously more of a collectible, although I would use the blunt jaws more often and would love them on a production Leatherman. Big fan of the Free series tools.

For anyone not familiar with the size difference, the Dual Force jaws open much wider than most multitools, and there’s plenty of leverage from the longer handles.

Five minutes with a bench grinder, and you've got blunt nose jaws.  And, its a good excuse to buy another Leatherman.

Im still tempted to buy dual force. It looks cools and it may replace my Centerdrive

I think that would be a good swap for the Center Drive.  Those pliers look good!  I agree about that file.  I've not been a fan of Gerber's files.  I'd love to swap out theirs with Leatherman's, Vic's, etc.

Took the antenna off our camper today. The back wire cutters were a little awkward, but I appreciate the heavier pliers for jobs like this.

Great job!  That looks like it can apply some decent torque with those pliers.
