lost the "crunch"

[tleslie]

i always thought the 200$ tool was a huge rip off, but it worked and i
got the crunch,
when i got the sayal's electronics 30$ special
it works, but no crunch.

if you need the crunch pay the extra 170$,
or sit on a few flakes of captain crunch when you
clutch and crimp :) for the effect.

i think the 200$ one has some leverage thing happening , and a ratchet
too.
