It has 8 "walking legs" and the 2 large claws for a total of 10 appendages. This gives rise to the term decapod (ten feet) used for these crustaceans, including crabs and lobsters.The front two legs of a lobster are its claws. They are still "legs" but considered non-walking legs because they're used for offense (capturing and crushing prey) and for defense. So their are technically 5 pair of legs.

walking legs on a crayfish are used for mobility and movement, while the claws remain free to forage for food. This allows the crayfish to eat on the move and travel fair distances in a short time.
If you mean "Pinchers" yes, i believe every crab will be born and will live with a claw. It sometimes can fall of or detatch at times, but i think they can reproduce claws and legs when it molts, i dont now if every crab molts, but i do know hermit crabs molt. This is someone else...actually it is pincers you jackass. Just looked all over to find out if its "pincers" or "pinchers"...and its pincers sooo.........
A scorpion has eight legs. Its large pincers in front are not legs but are modified appendages called pedipalps.

Crabs support their body through their eight legs as well as an exoskeleton, which means that the bones are outside and the body is inside. The exoskeleton in this case is a shell, and the claws are pincers because they are used for pinching purposes.
No, they have five pairs of legs, including the claws.
