Customer Reviews for Crescent 3/8 in. Drive Pass-Thru Adjustable Wrench Set (11-Piece)

Bought the pass thru adjustable wrench set a few months back, 3-5 months I’m guessing. I left a handful of tools outside on a table over night and I’m in the Bay Area in California so no harsh weather, still summer. Your wrench is the newest tool left out, only used it a couple times, and your wrench is the only one that rusted bad. One night and covered in rust. I’m not happy at all. And you just got shown up, laughed at by the husky pliers and kobalt vise grips.

Purchased this mostly for the novelty and the pass thru sockets. This little fella earned its keep on the first chance. I'm an HVAC guy doing installs at hospitals. Wrenching up 700 CFM coils was a breeze with this. The confined space made this the tool to go. When we finished all three of my coworkers bought one themselves. Best 30 bucks, believe it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the versitility of the sockets. Although if the head of the wrench where the socket goes were flexible or swivel type it would be ideal. The quality of the metal seems very durable. Could possibly use a better socket holder.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the perfect tool for many different jobs. I used it recently to change a faucet in my bathroom, as the jaw being reversible made the wrench just right for the space i had available. The addition of sockets is an awesome bonus, I have used them on several different types of nuts, and bolts with no issue. The socket end is also reversible, so you don't have to flip the wrench when using it. Overall I am super happy with this set, as it does more than a few tools worth of jobs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great addition to the toolbox! First off, this is a great 8" adjustable wrench. Very solid, the jaw slides smoothly and holds it position well. Second, the jaw is reversible, with sharp teeth to grip pipe. Third, the pass-through feature allows me to work on just about anything without bottoming out the socket. But the fourth point is the key one - these sockets are splined, not smooth, and they grip *everything*. They are so versatile, even allowing you to use the 10 sockets on metric, SAE, splined, square, and damaged fasteners. The ability to so much with so few parts is very helpful for me, as I work around the house and my car. Great tool!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this amazing tool while redoing my bathroom. It was nice using one wrench and socket set as opposed to multiples like I have in the past. The pass through sockets made bolting in the toilet a breeze. The adjustable wrench came in handy for putting the supply lines on and installing the sink faucet and drain. I love the fact that you can feel the quality of the tool when using it. It doesn’t feel cheap and flimsy. I will definitely be keeping this in my toolbox and ready for my next project.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this set. It’s very convenient and does what I need when I do my mechanic work on my tractor, four-wheeler ect. The pass thru part is especially handy, and the pipe wrench is also very nice to have around. The quality of it is definitely worth the money. I would have been willing to pay more to have a carrying case and an extension, as I used my own extension when working on my four-wheeler on a tight spot. But I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who does their own equipment or vehicle maintenance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm always leery about "multiple use" tools. They usually end up being mediocre at all of their functions and you would rather carry separate tools that perform better. This tool is the exception. Great adjustable wrench, handy pipe wrench, and a well built pass-through socket set. Well done!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This multi tool really is a game changer! I work maintenance at a larger facility so space and weight of my tool bag are very important features to me. This tool only takes up the space of the standard 8 inch adjustable wrench but offers a crescent wrench, pipe wrench and pass through ratcheting wrench all in one. Another great feature is the combined Metric and Standard sockets That cuts the weight and space in half of what you would need to carry if they weren’t combined. This is a great product and am glad I found it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this set about 2 weeks ago. I do industrial maintenance, and this set has already come in handy several times. I love the fact that it is a metric/SAE combo for most of the equipment/items I work on. It makes for less tools I have to carry around the facility. The pass-through sockets are a great addition for tight spaces where a deep socket doesn't fit well, or for nuts on all-thread where even a deep socket doesn't fit. I use adjustable wrenches a lot for breaking a quick bolt/nut loose, and now in one zipper bag/tool combo, I have the adjustable wrench for the quick back up or break, and a socket set for actually running bolts or nuts down. It feels like a quality product that will last through the years, but only time will tell us that. The only complaint that I am seeing, is that I am not a fan on the laser print sizes, due to wearing off over years of use then not being able to read the size.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This adjustable wrench & combination socket set is super handy for around the shop, but will be fantastic in my pickup tool box. First impression was that the fit and finish was really nice, the thumb wheel is tight with little backlash, so won't loosen up on its own. The sockets are clearly marked with both their metric and SAE size (they're universal). The ratchet throw is about 20 degrees, tight and accurate, with a good positive lever for reverse. I was a little nervous that the universal tooth design would round off nuts and bolts, so I tried a couple 1/2 inch bolts in the vise, and was able to break the head off without rounding it off, that alone was impressive. The universal socket is also great for the square nuts and bolts I deal with on antiques. Another bonus is that the packaging doubles as storage and can be mounted on the wall. The real beauty of this tool is the pass-through sockets- if you do anything with all-thread or anything else with long threads this is incredibly handy. If I had to nitpick one thing about this it would be the pipe wrench function. The packaging claims it works up to one inch pipe, however in my little testing ¾ is about max, and it can’t open wide enough to grab ¾ fittings. On ¾ pipe it did grab firmly, and the pipe teeth are good and sharp, plenty good enough for the “in a pinch” type of work where you’d use it as a pipe wrench. Overall, I’m super satisfied with this tool.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] -First off the packaging was a tiny bit difficult to open, other than that it would probably only be suitable to hang on the wall due to there not being any way to hold the sockets in place. -The actual Crescent wrench itself is about what you would expect out of one. -The pipe wrench "conversion" worked far better than I thought it would have. -on the socket wrench side, the sockets fit every bolt I tried them on. I threw a bolt and a couple of nuts in the vise to see if the socket would let loose, I quit because i was scared of busting my knuckles. Also the retention spring started out very tight but did loosen after a few socket changes.

the jaw on the one i purchased is off center making it impossible to switch around for the pipe wrench to engage.

I LOVE IT!!! I shopped back and forth between this, Husky and Kobalt and was delighted when they dropped the price...plus it came with a larger size socket than Husky, metric users will appreciate. I had one specific use for this, replacing the struts on my car, it worked beautifully and made a difficult job of loosening/tightening the top nut an absolute breeze as it allowed me to use an allen wrench to hold the strut. The reversible cog for gripping pipe is novel but as other reviews pointed out, the machining of the slide could be a lot better, mine got stuck as well. 5 minutes of grinding some edges down with a Milwaukee m12 rotary tool did the trick and it's as smooth as a "crescent wrench" should be. I'm not a big fan of the universal fit sockets as you lose a great deal of torque on larger sizes, but very pleased with the wrench holding the socket while working.

Nice having a multi tool, you can change the jaws from smooth to teeth. The sockets have pass though, very handy.

the wrench works great, I work in the oilfield and having a wrench that can grab pipe and nuts is a major help. I was excited to try out the socket set but on day two of using the wrench the directional selector fell out... not good. the width of the serrations is narrow so i can see them wearing down quickly and and i have a few nicks in the steel on the flat side of the jaw after 4 days of use. time will tell if this tool will hold up, I am thinking it will not.

This is a great tool made better by the addition of pass thru sockets and a small pipe wrench. Most multi use sockets are okay but these are in the very good category. These sockets seem to fit bolts better and tighter. This makes stripping the heads much less likely. I took a 9/16" cap on a 3/8" shank bolt (grade 5) up to failure in a vice and I am using an educated guess it took over 75 to 85 foot pounds to get the cap to round off with an extension bar on the wrench. This is way over what you would normally tighten a bolt of this size down to. These sockets are both metric (10mm thru 19mm) and standard SAE (3/8" thru 3/4"). The pass thru design makes the sockets very useful and will work on any length of bolt. Size markings on the sockets seem to be laser engraved in a high contrast gold that’s very easy to read. Slipping the sockets into and out of the end of the wrench is easy but very positive. The forward and reverse selection lever seems to be small and hard to use since it lays very flat on the side of the wrench. This makes it hard to use with gloves on your hands. This may get better as the wrench wears in. The ratchet gearing is fine so using this in confined spaces will be easy. It looks like you only need about 15 degrees of swing for the ratchet to work. By flipping the lower jaw of the wrench over you have a small pipe wrench. The capacity range is from 1/4" to 1/2" pipe or 3/8" to 3/4" outside diameter. The lower jaw has very aggressive teeth cut into it so it will grab most materials very well but some softer materials (like chrome over brass) will need protection so they won't be marked up. This wrench is thinner across the jaws than most; this makes it very useful in getting at fasteners that are in tighter spaces. Most adjustable wrenches are just too thick across the jaws making them useless where double nuts or jam nuts are used. The adjustable wrench is also machined very accurately, so there is very little slop. The adjustable end opens to a very large 1 1/4" and since the machining on this is so good you can use it opened up to the max and the jaws are still tight and able to hold the selected size. This is a very nice tool that will make a welcome addition to my everyday toolbox.

This is one of the coolest tools I Own and use alot for just about everything.Need a socket? you have it,need a cresent? you have it ,need a pass threw? you have it and a pipe wrench to boot,Its a great multi tool in one and works as smooth as butter.Cant go wrong here.

this tool set solves my problem of untwisting the water valve plug recessed inside wall. also pretty handy for any purposes. i would hope it comes with a box to store all the nuts otherwise they will disappear one by one…

Haven't had occasion to use yet but looks to be well built and will surely do the job

Fantastic tool, small and compact, great to stash in your truck or toolbox. Extremely handy and convenient, in spite of it seeming a bit gimmicky. Most combo tools are never worth it or are of poor construction. Excellent quality on this wrench, the pass through style socket is a real game changer for random long bolts. I had been looking for this tool for years without even knowing it.

Ever bought a set of exotic sockets that did not come with an organizer or any form of storage?? Here's your chance. Pass through sockets with no rail or carrying case to make sure you have the worst experience possible. And don't worry, there is no such 3rd party case to look up or purchase either. The tool is great but you'll never want to use it because you'll have to go through every socket every time to find the right one!!!

Good product. Wish it had a better carrying case.

The multifunctional use of the wrench makes it a great tool for the toolbox. Built with good quality and the sockets stay firmly in the wrench.
