"This set of hand tools contains everything a home handyman can use, plus! From regular sized bolts to the smallest ones. It's a very durable set. My neighbor has had his set for over a year and even though he gives it alot of use, it still looks brand new!"

As Good As SnapOn and Better In Some Ways,

July 13, 2010

By Kubotadieseluser

from Alabama

"I've used SnapOn tools for the past 40 yrs. With SnapOn you get a fine smooth surface finish that is easy on your hands and easy to clean up. This Cresent set of tools provides that same quality finish - even on close inspection. The Cresent sockets exhibit standard wall thicknesses of the tool body, that cheaply made tools don't have - and which often prevents the cheapies from being used in certain tight areas. These Cresent sockets are machined to securely lock onto the drive wrenches and provided extensions - extentions that also exhibit the same fine quality machining and finish. I also like that all of the sockets are six-point, as the six-points always grip better - and most nuts and bolts are of six-point design.

The ratchet drives are also of great quality - very possibly of higher quality than SnapOn by their look, weight, and feel. The ratchet actions are also light and smooth in operations, and two different switch settings are offered for each direction. This gives the ratchet a slightly louder or softer "click" according to the setting, and a just perceptable heavier feel to the action in the "loud" setting. Considering I've worn out SnapOn ratches in a little as a year, i'm almost confident these Cresent ratchets will outlast or at least be of comparable quality with reasonable care. The fractional ratchet mechanisms feel every bit as good as the comparable SnapOn models do when new. The only caveat I see is the ratchet mechanism is exposed to dirt by two open holes at the ratchet switches. Although these ratchets can be disassembled for cleaning and inspection, extra care will be needed to keep dirt out to prevent frequent cleaning disassembly. That's what pulls one star from my review.

The magnetic driver holds the nice selection of included bits very well with a strong magnet, and all the drivers, (screw and Phillips) have a black oxide tip coating that makes it harder for the tool tips to slip in a fastener.

The side cut needle nose pliers and side cutting pliers are of expected Cresent quality (made in China), but don't have the more standard black oxide finish - this means they will require oiling to prevent rust. From the look, they aren't of hardened heat-treated Rockwell hardness, but are of good quality for most uses. For example, my SnapOn side cutters can cut through hardened steel hose clamps that I'm sure would quickly dull or damage these.

As far as the combination wrenches, you won't find a better one from SnapOn to compare with these. They are excellent.

Overall, for the good Cresent price, guarantee (that SnapOn doesn't offer), and tool quality, this tool set is a great purchase anyone will be very pleased with - unless they are working the ratchets in heavy grime and will be frequently needing to clean the ratchet actions. I use this set at home and they are never subjected to dirt that could clog the ratchet actions. (The inexpensive answer to a ratchet better suited to heavy grime is also right here at Northern)"

Very useful and convenient,

June 3, 2010

By woodchips

from Vermont, USA

"I've had this set for a couple of years now and it has held up well.
Pros: Tools are top quality. The case's briefcase shape makes it easy to take along. This set has almost everything you're likely to need for small jobs and roadside repairs. It's really handy to grab and go.

Cons: The case doesn't do a great job of holding the ratchets in place and they often fall out of their slots when closing it up. No big deal if you're careful. The largest wrench is only 5/8, so you may need to pack some bigger ones. There are sockets up to 7/8. Ironically, the biggest weakness (in my opinion) is the lack of a Crescent wrench."

Great gift,

December 11, 2009

By Socrwallet

from Elkton, Maryland

"My father bought this for me on my 50th birthday - he was tired of me using his tools his entire life. Without a doubt this is the best gift my dad has gotten me, ever, and I've told him many times since. Now my son has renewed the cycle, I've decided not to wait until he's 50, he'll get his own set this Christmas at 21!"

"bought a set about a year ago for our welder, he braggged so much about it I bought myself a set. I carry a toolbox of assorted tools, and find myself reaching for this set on most jobs. Well made, has most of what you need right at your fingertips. A reasonable price for what you get, and it is Crescent quality."

One of the best tools.,

June 10, 2009

By Vridar

from NW MO

"This is a great idea. The most common needed tools in a small handy carrying case. It's the first thing I grab when headed to a small project. Ninty-nine percent of the time, I'll have what I need for the job. It is also handy to through in the RV or car when headed out for a trip. Never know when one of the contained tools is needed."

SAE, Metric or Both?

Details:

Is this a metric set of tools, a US SAE set of tools, or a combination of SAE and metric tools? I can't find that clearly stated anywhere in the description.
