Crescent 450 Piece Mechanics Tool Set - CTK450

These tools are great. If you want a set that is heavy on the sockets it is very good. For being crescent brand, I would have liked to have seen some Crescent wrench, the choices they made when putting it together are questionable. The wrench sizes are limited. But it's the best bang for your buck when it comes to sockets.

The tool box is well done and comprehensive

Tools are good, but for the price the box could be better. The black side latches do not lock and the trays can spill out very easy. Happened to my husband during work and we have seen social media videos of it happening with the same set! Lolol reminded me to leave a review. Otherwise a decent set of tools.

This set will accomplish 99% of your needs for sockets, ratchets, screw-driving, hex wrenches and then some! It comes pre organized in a well thought out case. This is every bit and more like my previously owned set from another brand. I compared this to the other set I've had for years.The trays are laid out in a very well designed manner. The top tray holds all of the 1/4 sockets for the 1/4 ratchet in both metric and SAE with 6-point and 12-point sockets. Each one is labeled clearly and is legible included the place where it belongs in the tray. They plastic molding of the tray is also well designed with the wells deepening to hold the socket securely in place. It also steps down to allow access to grab them better (hard to explain, but if you saw it you'll know what I mean).The middle tray has both 3/8 and 1/2 standard sockets. It is also well designed with clear patterns shown that separates the different ratchet sizes. At first I didn't like this design, since I was used to my other set that had 1/2 and 3/8 sockets separated in their own trays. I appreciate now because I only need to grab one tray to have both wrenches available to use when you need the extra leverage.The bottom tray had all of the deep well sockets. I also appreciated how these were all together instead of inner mixed like my other branded set.The top locking box holds everything else. The extensions (with includes a 12" extension for BOTH 3/8 and 1/2 sizes!) the ratchet wrenches, screwdriver and heads, hex wrenches in a holder, and all the other bits I am missing.Like I stated above, for most amateurs, this is a top of the line set that will serve 99% of your needs through out your life. You don't need a large rolling toolbox, this will serve you well and takes up a heck of a lot less room. Does it have everything you will need for every job, no, but get those specialty tools when you need them. For everything else, you can't go wrong with this set.I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a starter set. This will be perfect I assure you.

This tool kit lives on my workbench and it has it all. Crescant has been around as long as I can remember and is known for good quality tools. This set has everything the home or pro-mechanic will likely need in a day of car repair. A nice collection of sockets, hex bits, and combo- and Allen wrenches. The tool box is heavy duty plastic and does the job. Good all-around tool kit at a good price. I recommend. No regrets.

Good quality set, and every socket you will ever need up to 1 inch or 24mm. They include all 3 ratchets, and 3 extensions for each the 3/8 and 1/2", and 2 for the 1/4. Thanks for the long extensions! I can finally reach those lugs inside of duals and those pesky starter bolts without stringing together a dozen 3 inch extensions.Essentially a no skip set, with both 12 point and 6 point sockets for all sizes, and both 12 and 6 point for all deep wells for both 1/4 and 3/8, with the exception of a 5.5mm deep well, which I've never seen used in my life.I wish they included a tray for the ratchets and extensions, they are just loosely placed in the top of the box with the wrenches and driver bits.All tools operated smoothly, the 1/4 ratchet was a bit notchy and locked up first use, but quickly freed up and hasn't had a problem since, so probably a bit of debris inside, or something self clearances after some use.Suggestions for Crescent/Apex, in addition to including a top box tray for the ratchets and extensions, please include up to 1-1/16 for 1/2 inch drive, so I can use this on 5/8 bolts and hardware. Also, please include a t50 torx adapter, or even better a t50 and t55 for us GM guys. Stopping at t45 is 99% of the way there.You can skip the wrenches as well, the included set is just a teaser (and they are too short to be useful). I would prefer to buy a separate set so I have the appropriate sizes.

This is a really nice Tool Set from a very well known and established brand. Perfect for a first tool set, or for someone like me who is in dire need of an upgrade to all my old accumulated sockets etc. All the sockets and wrenches are nicely manufactured and come in every imaginable size and depth. Perfect for mechanical repairs.Be warned, this thing is heavy, approx 40lbs, it would have been nice if the case had a retractable handle and wheels. But hey, at this price point and the number of quality items, it's hard to complain!The case is plastic and to be honest the latches on top don't fill me with confidence that they will last. In fact I use the side grabs to move the case, rather than relying on the top handle. The draws are functional, but the bottom drawer is a bit sticky and not as smooth as the top two. The top of the chest is where all the wrenches, bits, Allen wrenches and extensions etc live. It's a bit chaotic, it would have been nice if there were molded sections for every tool.Overall this is a great set, even with my slight complaints of the case. It would an easy recommendation for the value and quality of the tools.

The quality is great, so many different uses and options. My only negative was giving it as a gift. My famly member loved them, I just wished I'd kept for myself lol.
