Average hand held tool company

Speed 3 / Price 3 / Quality 3

I have some Crescent tools in use from a very long time ago. I think when our company purchased them, it was a much different company. I have some newer models which don't seem to have the quality of the older stuff. Just my opinion. Crescent doesn't seem to have the market presence they used to have. We still purchase their products, but not as frequently as Snap On and Craftsman.

Strengths: American made forged adjustable end wrenches and pipe wrenches. We have some in our repair tool inventory which are over 3 decades old. Chrome and bare iron finishes. Provide good fastener tightening. They have many more tools available then what we are using. Just don't bother to purchase them. Widely available.

Needs to improve: Price to quality not as good as other brands. Smaller selection as well. Decent warranty, but getting it filled is more difficult.

Not worth saving a few bucks.

Customer service, warranty program are awsome. Tools not so good. Sorry guys

Strengths: I can tell you Crescent has a great warranty on there tools, the employees are very friendly and helpful.

Needs to improve: The actual tools them selves are what I have a problem with. I have been using snap-on for the past 5 years and I figured let me give Crescent a try. There prices are great and they have a great warranty. Sorry to say the tools are no good. It is a hassel to constantly have to be ordering warranty replacements.

Adjustable Wrenches -

Speed 4 / Price 4 / Quality 3

We use adjustable wrenches from Crescent Tool in our R&D department, Manufacturing, CSI, Facilities, etc... Best thing about the adjustable wrenches is they can be used when I have a variety of different size nuts and do not want to have to keep reaching for a different tool. It is a real time saver, they also have a drawback due to their size, tend to be bigger than a regular wrench due to the adjustable part. Limited use for applications.

Strengths: reliable & dependable - adjustable wrenches - wide range

Needs to improve: I find that they DO NOT work for every application, always have to readjust/tweak for every repeatable procedure - if the tool has been around a while. Hard to get them to replace if they are really old.

Great Products

AS we expanded the facilities at my company we were in need of sourcing new equipment for the employees. We looked at other companies but found the price to be excessive and then we landed on Crescent Tool. The quality of their tools were on par with other manufacturers, but they were able to work with us to make sure we weren't overpaying for tools or specialized equipment we didn't need. This made it very cost effective for us to supply our employees. As stated the tools were good quality and the employees have come to depend on them. Follow up orders have been easy and their service department is great. Would highly recommend Crescent Tool.

For the most part, the Crescent tools our shop has purchased are pretty good and have worked great. Their sockets on the other hand....I don't use cheap sockets, but Crescent's socket (1) is the only one I've ever broken. Other than their sockets, their other tools have been great.

Strengths: Mostly good tools

Needs to improve: Some cheaper stuff, be careful
