Very practical and tools are durable. The guy I bought it from says that Crescent's warranty, is send it in and they will send one back. I have never had to. I build log cabins and other handy work. This is a go to box. Only two complaints <br /> 1. The 4 tabs holding unit closed are flimsy-Only one tab left <br /> 2. Some of my pliers are missing-one is at the bottom of a lake in Canada <br /> <br />I paid 100.00 for mine which I think was a good value <br /> Rating: 4 / 5 I have owned this kit for about 5 years.

If there is an empty slot or space I look for and find the tool and my set is complete for the next time I am called out to be Mr. Fix It. Less lost tools. I find the 170 piece set has the best value. It plus a hammer and I am ready to go Rating: 2 / 5 Crescent makes great tools – my gripe here is that as of 8 Mar 08 the photo shown – a gray case with two hinged sides left and right, shows 170 pieces but the list is of ONLY 70 pieces- the customer added photo is correct.

SO DON’T BE TRICKED BY THE PHOTO

Combination wrenches feel great and are made to last. 3/8" and 1/4" Ratchet are also very well made. They come with a socket lock to prevent sockets from popping off like the old days. All sockets are easy to read and are listed in both metric and in inches. Case is well made and holds everything almost in place, excluding the sockets which are not securely in place. Despite other reviews case DOES come with black latches to lock the case, as seen in the photos. They are attached to the plastic wrap over the case. Just snap them on and your done. No instructions for snapping them on, only takes a second to figure out. <br /> <br />The Crescent 70-piece tool set is probably the best bang for the buck, period. Mine was purchased for $49.12 on Amazon and it was absolutely worth every single penny. Must buy for those who already own pliers, adjustable wrenches, etc! <br /> <br />Thank you Cooper Hand Tools!

I was happy with the quality of the product. I mainly wanted it for working on my motorcycle or doing small jobs on my car, so the fact that it includes both SAE and Metric tools is very nice. You can tell they are good quality, the wrenches have a nice weight to them, so far I have had no issues. Very good price, isn't much more than the bargin bin brand sets you might find at your local walmart, so the extra cost is well worth it. Highly recommend this set for doing small jobs yourself.

The tools are fine for my 19 year old to keep in his trunk but the storage case has NO fasteners to close it. Sure the case is sturdy but without being able to lock closed it's inconvenient to carry and just not practical. I could have just bought tools and a toolbox but thought this was the better choice - oh well! Rating: 2 / 5 Obviously this was an item that I shouldn’t have purchased online.
