Crescent 11 Pc. Pass-Thru X6 Black Oxide Adjustable Wrench and Spline Socket Set - CPTAW8

It’s a nice short adjustable wrench with a wider than average opening along with the unique option to pull the jaw and reverse to a pipe wrench jaw…..genius! The ratcheting end is pass-through with the option of a FW/RV lever option. sadly Crescent is no longer made in USA.

I learned about this in a YouTube podcast, can't remember which. For a compact, fairly complete wrench set it has marked advantages and versatility. The sockets do fit both SAE & metric bolts well enough and the pass through design helps with nuts on long bolts. The adjustable wrench is also usable as a pipe-grip wrench. The steel is hard, the finish is durable, and it has Crescent's quality from days of yore. If I had to have just one wrench set, I'd definitely choose this.

Nice tool but it doesnt come with a sicket organizer as described. Have to figure something else out as a way to keep it all together.

I purchased this product as soon as it was available; I was not disappointed. i have used crescent wrench more times as the reversible pipe wrench than anything. nothing like being in a cistern well or in the field repairing a spigot for the chickens (-or whatever else), and being either short on torque on your pliers, or no vice grips; unless crawling out and heading back to the truck. the ability to crank the adjustable all the way out and flip it to have a portable/light weight pipe wrench is a savior.the sockets are great too: one way SAE/standard, the other metric; AND made so sliding over a longer bolt and no need for a deep socket; AND cogged/notched for every possible bolt, 6point, 12point, box head, inverted torx, and the weird star bit that seems to wind up on every GM, Ford, Dodge, VW/Audi,-et.al. that even a trip to the parts store leaves you mumbling, "either specialty tool from SnapOn, the dealer for more than its worth,- or i'll just torch it off!"this tool definitely would have replaced the original Crescent that went into CL's toolbag for the trip around the world.AND!! adding that APEX Tool Group (thru amazon purchase) is AMAZING customer service. when I first got the product I was happy, but the amazon box had a hole, and the 7/16"/11mm was missing; so I contacted amazon, waited months, and still did not care (as I had a cool tool). reached out to Apex/ATG and mentioned the lost socket, and asked if I could purchase one to complete my set, and Debbie at customer service emails and says, "we have a rep sending you a new one." WOW! the tool(s) are still in my portable tool kit I carry on my rig, and I use them nearly daily. great tools, great product, great service. thank you Crescent, Amazon, and Apex for carrying this.

I wasn't expecting this to be high quality but it seems pretty decent. Perfect for on the go bicycle repair. I ride old school Schwinn so they have the large head nut that this fits perfectly. Definitely wasn't expecting that either. Would have been nice if they had the magnetic screwdriver bit adapter with this like in the other pass through X6 Crescent ratchet set. Will definitely buy more sets for my other bikes and maybe my motorcycle.

Edit: The original version I bought had an extremely sloppy jaw and a little adjustment wheel. This one has a jaw I'm used to with Crescent wrenches and the adjustment thumb wheel is larger. Thank you for the redesign.Crescent had always been my go to brand for adjustable wrenches, this set however has me wondering what is happening. First off, the jaw on the wrench is floppy. It not only has the typical adjustable wrench wiggle, but they added more wiggle. It has only about 3/32" of contact between the jaw and the body. The actual tenon that for in the body is not tight either like my other wrenches. This all combines for a jaw side to side movement of about an 1/8". I won't even go into other details about just poor offset grinding and lineup. I will close on this with saying that being a tool and die maker, I am seriously considering making my own replacement jaw for this. Second, guessing that this ratchet is the same as the 4 in 1 wrenches, we will see how long this lasts. Oh, experience level. I am not only a mechanic in the Navy and a machinist by trade before that, but I also run a small machine shop on the side. I have added this to replace my normal adjustable in my leg tool pouch to do quick repairs.

Useful and versatile.

This tool set is incredible. This is my second set and I think the mfg has changed the plastic rack a bit, it doesn’t hold the sockets in very firmly and they tend to fall out. My first set, the sockets rest firmly in the case. Regardless, it’s incredible. Nice and strong, very well built and so freaking useful.
