Review on Crescent CX6DBM2 Double Ratcheting 2 Piece by Charlie Dillon

Revainrating 3 out of 5

TL; DR Not as good as expected, socket holes too small for some jobs

Well, you don't always need a box wrench, but when you do, there's no alternative. I have to give it three stars mainly for the cautionary tale, but there are a few downsides to mention as well. First, it's a nice heavy tool to hold, but I feel like the moving parts are a bit loose. For example, the ratchet directional switch may get stuck if you try to toggle it while running. The finishes are good and they look cool, like something the Master Chief would keep in his tool box. Another major downside is the depth of the actual sockets (about 1/4 inch). So if you use the large hole side it will only grab the top of the nut/bolt if it is a large fastener. great for fixing bikes and other things but I probably won't replace them if they break.

Pros
  • Power and hand tools
Cons
  • Weak
