"Beautiful work of craftsmanship and engineering on Leathermans part. The pouch was perfectly tooled to fit this tool. Love the bit driver and scalple, although I will have to pay an extra level of attention when folding it up. Leatherman, keep up the hard work!"

Quality Craftsmanship

"Listen, I get that some people are very frustrated because they either missed the opportunity to purchase, they weren’t ready, or life just got in the way. That is expected from any release in the garage. What I don’t get is that you all choose to write a “review”, expressing those frustration, on the tool that you failed to purchase (and I assume use) in the first place. Who is that helping? Now that that is out of the way, I was in-fact interested enough to know something was coming and diligent enough to check consistently for a garage store update. Winner! This thing fits perfectly into my rotation, I already EDC an arc with both 711L mini ratchets and a pretty loaded sheath: Fischer space pen, utility knife for constant carpet cuts at work, & 2 loaded Leatherman bit slips. I also often use 1/4” impact driver bits and carry a set that fit my Leatherman compatible mini ratchets well. With all that said, I wasn’t sure how this would fit into the mix, if I would rotate or even use it. I was familiar with the original crunch, but I had never held it in hand or seen it in person, so I didn’t know what to expect. I went for it anyway. Shipping took really long but again knowing the drill on garage releases (inter-web research) that was expected, a bit grueling but expected. Upon arrival I was impressed at the quality and craftsmanship of this little guy, the little detailed gold finish is a beauty and its size is really small compared to the arc or any free series frame. The sheath is really nice and I appreciate the genuine leather (smells amazing lol) I know this thing will hold up over time. The flat bit driver is awesome at retention compared to the arc (with 711L ratchets) and the 1/4” bit driver under the vise screw is simply genius! The plier head is beautiful, it’s different enough form the arc to cover jobs the arc cannot and vise versa. I didn’t think I would use the scalpel blade until I held the tool in hand but I know now I will and I have ordered a box of 100 #24 blades to toss in my tool box next to the utility blades and I plan on fitting those into my routine. The website description says it comes with two bits, and I only received one (3/16 flat and No1-2 Phillips) no biggie. Photos with an arc for reference. I will most likely update this review once I’ve been in the wild with my new set up for a couple months. Thanks Leatherman!"

I guess I'm Lucky

"I was notified the day before the release and the next morning I checked every few minutes until it was available. I received it about two and a half weeks later. The wait was worth it! The scalpel is sharp/cool but I really like the sheath - the tool storage is a nice touch and the leather is soft, but not too soft. I plan on passing this down to one of my grandson's."

Only VIPs Can Buy This

"Signed up for Garage e-mail notifications months ago, received no notification from Leatherman about this item. Called Leatherman, several times, was told they would look into it, no answers. I guess you have to know somebody to get Garage tools, exclusive stuff, not meant for people using a Leatherman daily."

Disappointed

"I think Leatherman needs to find some way to weed out buyers looking to sell for big profits and buyers who actually collect and use Leatherman products. Found plenty on eBay for 3-4 times the selling price. And for some reason I get the emails after the release of the garage product. Not very satisfied with the way Leatherman releases their garage products."

Disappointed

"I've been praying for a re-launch of the crunch and this is like the worst thing to see. It's extremely disappointing to know what my only option is to buy one on the second hand market for 3x the price. Please do better for a community that loves what you do."

Crunch with some cool new goodies.

"Build quality was great and the scalpel / t-shank adapter is a cool new design. Big fan!"

— Jacob (5/5)

Never got a email that this was in stock

"Man this sucks! I signed up for the email alerts and never received anything. Waited a long time for this release and was never given the opportunity to purchase it. Big time let down from leatherman."

— Jay A. (1/5)

"The tool itself is as described but the shipping time and non existent communication with leatherman was disappointing."

"A unique twist on the one leatherman ive always wanted! Works great"
