5.0 out of 5 stars We are always reaching for this July 22, 2009

By Dillon D Barnes

I currently work at an agricultural sales and service business and we bought this set for quickly tossing into the truck when we needed to go fix something. It works well for that but we also have found it's almost easier to grab this case just in the shop rather than running back and sifting through the toolbox to find the right tool.

Now you have to consider what you are going to use this set for. For most people it will be good enough quality for their jobs. Great set for a DIY mechanic. Now if you're a long time professional mechanic who's got the money, buy yourself some snap-on stuff; for the rest of us, it'll work good enough.

Lots of tools and are very well organized. Plenty of sockets and enough wrenches to get you by (all the usual, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, and some metric, I can't remember what other sizes).

My major cons with the product is the plastic case. The case folds open with the top two "wings" folding out exposing all the tools. The tools don't always stay in their spots and you can expect a few screw tips, pliers, or what not to fall out when you open it up. The sockets are stuck in there good though, those can be tough to get out. The case secures with a tab on the top and bottom of each wing. It holds good enough but the tab can easily be broken off when the case is open.

Overall it's a good set and the case shortfalls don't justify a drop in rating. If you need a good tool set, this will work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tools will last; case will need repairs. July 9, 2011

Pros:
This tool set are high quality, have a nice variety, includes several adapters, and is neatly laid out. The ratcheting mechanism feels good and the socket-lock holds onto the socket very well. The adjustable wrench, screw drivers, long nose and tongue and groove pliers are not simply an afterthought (they are well made).

Cons:
As mentioned by others, the blow mold carry-case is not the best quality. The door clips are weak and will most certainly wear out with age. The sockets are held in very well, but my case arrived with one of the plastic teeth that grips onto the socket already broken. There is actually a hole punched in the case by the manufacturer because because of the tight fit. I imagine when they were putting in the sockets they were too forceful and caused the puncture. I have fixed it with epoxy but I am not sure how long it will hold up.

Summary:
This is a great comprehensive set, good value, and must-have for any home tool set. I rated it a rounded up four and a half stars (****1/2) because of the poor case quality alone. One of the selling points for this 170-piece set is that it is convenient and should accommodate most jobs. Receiving a broken case only hints to the pains I will have as I repair the case over time in order to keep these great tools convenient.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best overall tool set i've owned March 30, 2009

By D. Broncheau

This is my 4th crescent set I've owned. This set has everything you could need for most repairs on automobiles, it is my standard issue tool box when headed to the you-pull-it junkyards. Only complaint is the clips used to close the 2 door halves to the plastic case will eventually wear and break. But the tools are high quality. The 1/2" ratchet has taken some nice abuse with a 3 foot long cheater bar to losen rusted 3/4" hitch bolts at the junkyard. A great kit for the back of any vehicle.
