Crescent 2 Piece X6™ 4-in-1 Black Oxide Spline Ratcheting SAE Wrench Set - CX6DBS2

Initially when I got it I was pissed because they were SUPER stiff to alternate from loosening stuff then to swap to tightening it BUT once I used it like 3 times they got super loose and I can flick it back and forth I’m a commercial oil burner mechanic and have used these to remove and replace condensate motors 51 feeders pump controls and all kinds of other bolts I have used and abused it soaked it in oil for furnaces (it’s just dyed red untaxed diesel) rust buster wd 40 all kinds of other lubricants and anti seizes and it still works perfectly fine I will say I did break a piece off of mine BUT it was my fault I kept smacking it against something metal essentially using it as a hammer and I broke the little tab that rotates the direction but on the other side it still works perfectly fine

A little bigger than I expected but great because I have Big hands which makes them easier to grip no thicker than other 4 in 1's which is good and seem very durable and easy to use the black is a nice finish

Only issue is they have a lot of thickness at the heads so they don't fit everywhere.

These are very handy to have. I have a similar set from Irwin, but prefer these. These have more teeth which means you have more possibilities in the range of motion. The only downside to this set is they are a bit thick between the edge of the onset to the edge of the tool. This will limit how close the bolt head can be to an obstruction. The amount of torque these can take is pretty impressive, and they feel very solid in their build.

I had a set of these for 10 years and one of the ends fell apart. Not sure where to go for replacement anymore. So I bought these. They seem better made. We'll see.

This is a well built handy 4-in-1 double box ratcheting wrench set that fits 6 fastener types. It can be a compact replacement for 8 standard wrench sizes. The 2 wrench set can be found in either SAE or Metric. The black oxide finish both looks good and provides durability.

I work in the HVAC field and I am constantly carrying work bags or totes and every single tool adds weight to what I have to carry daily. I replaced a larger wrench set with just these two and a very pleased with the weight savings, but also in the performance of the tools. The ratcheting part of the wrench works well it has not failed. The only downside is, they tend to rust if water gets on them. So keep them oiled!

I returned the first set because the ratchet was messed up on one end. You could not change the direction without the selector disengaging and locking it up. I had not used them. The second set the entire ratchet assembly fell out before I used it. I was just looking at it in my truck. Stay away. I have tried to find contact info for Crescent but their contact pages lead to dead ends. I finally found a working webpage with Crescent contact info - apextools not apexhandtools. I left a message for the Crescent rep and have not heard back. Luckily Amazon has no problem taking them back. I have used gearwrench quad wrenches for years. They will eventually give up the ghost, but at they work out of the box. Update. July 11, 2013 I was contacted about 3 weeks ago from someone at Apex tool who told me they had not had any issues like this before. I must have just received some from a bad batch. They would send me some new ones. Today I received 2 new sets of the wrenches. Both had the larger one opened, I am assuming to check them out. I will let you know how they work out. Update July 29, 2013 I have used the wrenches a couple of times. First they are very heavy compared to the gear wrench. Also the area around the actual wrench is fairly large and makes it difficult to get into a tight space. I used a gear wrench quad at the same time. Much lighter and was able to fit on a bolt in a much tighter space. They don't need to be this heavy or bulky. Also the markings for the size are hard to see and it appears that the markings won't last very long. I have had black sockets that were similar and I cannot read any of the sizes on them. I think these may be ok for light use but not for everyday use. Update August 27, 2013 The wrenches have held up well so far. I changed my rating from a one star to a 3 star. But my opinion in the above paragraph is still true. Update 12/20/2013 Changed my rating to one star to compensate for the obvious 5 star plant. These have not failed yet but are very bulky.

Must have bought these one night after getting home from the pub ! No idea why I’d need sae but I love the look of them and I have other tools by same company which are great.

Ótima qualidade.

Las llevo en mi bolsa de herramienta, se sienten de buen material, y con su función de rach son muy buenas al ahorrarte tiempo en el trabajo, y si efectivamente son 4 medidas en 1 llave.

Great set of wrenches. Come in handy.

As chaves são bem robustas e aparentemente bem acabadas.
