Crescent Mechanics Tool Set (170-Piece)

Great set

I have two sets. The 170 and a slightly smaller set. Looking to get another so all vehicles have one. The case hinge broke on the 170 due to a fall. Big time bummer. Overall, though, love this set!! As a handyman, I use it EVERY DAY. Every bit of it comes in handy.

Great tool set from a very known original brand

Overall, this is a very nice set. My search criteria were: 1> Comprehensive set, 2> Secure case, 3> Price. Items 1 & 3 were 5 stars easy. The only reason I gave it four instead of five stars is that if you accidentally open the wrong side or you happen to spill it, you will spend hours reloading the sockets since they don’t lock in like all the wrenches. But, then again on the plus side, every socket pocket is labeled so you not only know which one(s) may be missing, but where they go. Also, one of the wrenches does not lock in to place — so far duck tape is my friend. Future will be to add some Velcro or similar to hold them. Should you buy this? Absolutely. The quality is superb and the completeness of the set is very, very nice — just have to be a bit careful/creative with the case.

Awesome tool set and very convenient.

Great product. Highly recommend

Just what was needed

This set should work as I intended, a back-up road tool kit. The way the socket sizes are sized is strange – a few sequential 1/2″ drive then a lack of 1/2″ sizes filled by 3/8″ or 1/4″ drive sequential sizes. It’s not what I would prefer, but it will work in a pinch.

Bought it for my emergency sailboat repairs. Has everything I would ever need. Hope it holds out in the marine environment.

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.

I got this for my work truck and ended up buying a set for all our trucks. This is easily the best small tool set on the market. The case is kind of large since it’s flat but it fits in a tool box no problem. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone!
