Description of 🔧 Crescent Mechanics Tool Set: 20 Pc. X10 3/8" Drive 6 Point Standard SAE/Metric - CSWS38B

Black manganese phosphate finish for extreme corrosion resistance and smooth ground surfaces to reduce friction. Crestoloy alloy steel capable of withstanding powerful professional use. 84 tooth ratchet requires only 4. 3° of movement, providing more efficiency and access in tight situations. Enclosed ratchet-head design for improved reliability in the harshest environments. Teardrop low-profile head and flush-mounted lever is up to 21% slimmer then the competition. Getting you into the tightest of spaces. 6-Point sockets with off-corner loading ensures a strong hold on fasteners while greatly reducing the chances of rounding the fastener head. Knurling on the ratchet and sockets give you grip and control in slippery circumstances. Exceeds ASME torque performance specs. High-contrast colored rings on sockets allow you to quickly identify between SAE and metric sizes. Crescent Lifetime.

Open end slides easily

Bought to get into hard to reach nuts on the flywheel. I only used the key on 5/8. Jaws significantly widened and 3 nuts rounded. Make the job even harder. I ended up cutting off one of my good keys and welded on a piece of flat iron to get it in place. I would not buy again.

Pros
  • 84-tooth ratchet requires only 4.3° of movement for increased efficiency and access in tight spaces.
Cons
  • Some small things

Very nice, well done.

My last set of sockets lasted 40 years. Do not laugh! Over the years I've lost an outlet here and there. Anyway, I looked at a lot of brands. They feel great in your hand. They don't rust, which is very important for my sailboat. I have also ordered other Crescent instruments and they are all equally well made. Would recommend to my son (will be one day). Would buy again.

Pros
  • Low profile teardrop head and flush mount lever 21% thinner than the competition. You can get into the tightest places.
Cons
  • Defect

Low Price - High Quality

I really like this socket wrench set. Super tight ratchet. Exceeds the price of cargo transport in the port. High visibility heads are easy to manipulate, fit very tightly to the bolts and are much easier to hold than polished Craftsman and deadbolts. Have used them a few times now with some ftlbs that would break the port charging connector and no cracks or curves. For the price they are unbeatable.

Pros
  • Contrasting colored rings on heads allow quick differentiation between SAE and metric sizes.
Cons
  • Weight

Nothing for professionals.

Crescent is a far cry from what it used to be. About 4 months of service as a technician and he pulled his teeth out and the lever came loose from the ratchet. The only reason this isn't a 1 star rating is because I still use outlets on a daily basis. They have excellent finishes, easy to read and very well preserved. But I had to go back to my old sickle ratchet. One was made before the company lost its credibility.

Pros
  • Crestoloy alloy steel for tough professional use
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

The Perfect Set: Hand Tool

I can't say anything about the sockets themselves because I don't need all of them and they're not intended for extreme applications. But the driver himself is quite pleasant. Strong, feels good in the hand, no wobbly parts, does not rattle when shaking the ratchet. feels strong I'd like just one quick reset button, but it's not that big of a deal. I have other sockets of the same size and this one is heavier just makes me think it would be more durable.

Pros
  • Hexagonal skewed charging sockets hold fasteners tight and greatly reduce the chance of head rounding.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Solid and great price! Excellent customer service!

I gave 5 stars because Amazon sent me a replacement quickly. A few parts were missing from the socket set when it was delivered. I called and notified Amazon and they sent me a new set overnight. In addition, this set is quite durable, the sockets are of high quality. I used it to remove the oil pan drain plug on my Camaro. It's easy to clean and I like that it has a black finish. I can recommend this set, it's solid and a great price!

Pros
  • Crescent Lifetime
Cons
  • Little things

Quality at an Affordable Price

These wrenches offer excellent value for money. The sizing is general and the fit and finish is really high quality. The broaching and grinding at the end of the box is nice and square, and the open end isn't "lobster claws", leaving a nice, slim profile. The downside is they don't do die sizes on these only laser engrave or maybe screen print? I'm not sure, but they are legible on a black background. The long pattern is worth the extra reach and effort. I also bought an SAE set and will…

Pros
  • Low profile teardrop head and flush mount arm are 21% thinner than the competition. You can get into the tightest places.
Cons
  • Only available in black

For occasional chores and overhead burglars

Beautiful solid metal hex socket set including powder black reversible ratchet wrench with slotted steel plate and black chrome 3 inch socket extension. Made in Taiwan, I'm pleasantly surprised. The set doesn't have the strong motor oil smell of any cheap Chinese instrument I've ever ordered. plain black ring Sizing numbers are physically stamped on each setting to avoid staining. The wood on which the parts lie serves as a "box" for storage, everything is snapped or put into it. Detach the…

Pros
  • Corner Load Hex Sockets provide strong fastener retention and greatly reduce the likelihood of fastener head rounding.
Cons
  • Unbelievable Price
