Crabs pinch as a self defense mechanism. Crabs pinch when they're scared of falling like when you're holding them improperly. They also pinch if they feel threatened.
Crabs nip with the claws because they feel threatened, it is like us punching someone when we are threatened
To snap their prey cruely and to attract predaters mates

Hermit Crabs do pinch! Actually i got pinched by mine earlier today. But it will not hurt you very very bad you just feel some sting. (If you are wondering hermit crabs don't transmit any diseases :) )

Crabs don't bite they pinch. It all depends on what kind. Bigger sea crabs can 'pinch very hard, some can even take a finger or draw blood. Small, hermit crabs can pinch little pieces of skin off then they eat it! :P They can also draw a little blood.
Yes, they are shy though. If you give them a chance to pinch you, they will.
I'm not sure, but they might bite when eating, but they pinch people.
