Yes, but not always. If you do not handle them the correct way they could pinch you, and it could be painful. They use their left (bigger) claws for fighting. But other than that, make sure you have your hand flat, and dont make them angry. They need to understand you will not harm them. This might take a while.

Hermit crabs do not bite, they pinch. When a hermit crab pinches you that means that they are intimidated and stressed out, and possibly hungry.
