Crescent 1/4 in. 3/8 in. and 1/2 in. Drive Mechanics Tool Set (148-Piece)

When I was growing up, Crescent wrench is what you went to. Now there are many more options today with a full line of Crescent tools. This is a 128 piece set for the DIY mechanic. The wrenches are made of a hardened alloy and are highly polished to look like chrome. They call it Crestoloy. The tools come with a Manufacturer’s Limited Lifetime warranty and has a nice blow molded plastic storage and carry case.

Mechanics Tool Set (170-Piece) by Crescent includes many useful tools such as 1/4 in. 3/8 in. and 1/2 in. Ratchet Drive with sockets for 6 and 12-Point SAE/Metric . The collection of screw driver bits (Square, hex, Torx, etc. ) is a plus. The tools in the kit offer desirable features, have an attractive finish and appear to be well made and should last the average user a lifetime.When closed, the tool case is secured by four (4) plastic latches; two in front and one on each side. The durability of these plastic latches is a genuine concern. The carrying handle has a slightly soft feel but the kit is heavy to carry. The case depth is ~4 ins. and is ~20 ins. at widest.Re-securing the combination wrenches in the case took more effort than was comfortable for my old hands. The mold for the 14mm combination wrench does not allow the wrench to be secured ( 14mm combo-wrench was loose upon 1st opening the case ).Always remember to open/close the tool case from the TOP half only ( look for Crescent Logo) and always use the thin foam divider provided. If the case is opened/closed incorrectly or the foam sheet is not used, the Sockets will spill out as they are just laying in case-molds and are NOT secured in the bottom half of the case (poor design). This tool kit might be appropriate to keep in a vehicle for emergency use or as gift for someone without tools. This tool kit and case are quite heavy ~21 lbs. The current price does represent consumer value versus buying the tools individually.Retail packaging reports made in China.

Only bad thing is if you dont open it right all the tools fall out everywhere.

Very well made, most popular sizes and easy to keep in the trunk of a vehicle. Little disappointed no slip joint pliers but the lineman pliers in the set is more useful than diagonal wire cutters. So it is a little thinking outside the box. Also don’t like the tool count is with all the bits and Allen sets so increases the tool count but in reality it is sets inside this tool set. I do like the 72 teeth rackets and the tools over all are very well made and should hold up for years to come. I have been using the Crescent brand of tools for more than 50 years with no problems.

Nice tool set

The tools are great but case lock was broken

Crescent is a name that’s been around for a long time. This was a Christmas present for my son to start his collection. It’s a very nice set that I’m sure will last him decades.

I bought this is a second set of tools to keep at my cabin and have been very impressed with the quality and completeness of the set. I would definitely recommend it as a starter set or second set of tools as it’s much easier than building up a set one piece at a time.

This is without a doubt the most complete tool kit I have ever owned. I have purchased kits in the past that boasted 100 pieces or more but I got a bunch of hacksaw blades, allen wrenches and electrical tape. However this kit has it all. Three different drive ratchets and sockets including deep well sockets in SAE and Metric as well as combo wrenches and screw drivers..I have lots of tools but this is a complete kit to cover almost any job and comes in a heavy duty case that fits behind the seat of my pick-up very nicely.
