I was born and raised in Jamestown, NY and got my first set of tools (all Crescent) 70 years ago yesterday (My 13th Birthday) including adjustables, sockets, pliers, one of those hammer-screwdriver contraptions and a Tool box. Still use them all the time!

As I've said before, many younger coworkers (late teens into their 20s) hang out at my little shop and we have a lot of fun working on our various projects together. However, since I'm in my 50s and started working on stuff with good ol s.a.e. fasteners as soon as I could hold a wrench, I've come up with an "initiation ritual" for my shop. Any newcomer has to bring me my "metric Crescent wrench". It all started when the first "kid" hanging around the shop was getting on my nerves (because I'm old n didn't have time to share my experience, or so I thought) so I told him to find it so I could fix his car. He obviously couldn't. After he brought me a few different wrenches, he started thinking. I could tell by the look on his face when he realized what was going on. We both started laughing at the same time. He still hangs out at my shop and we've put all the other youngsters through the same test. The ones that laugh about it still come around and the ones that get mad don't. I love having the "kids" around. We have a lot of fun, work on old AND newer vehicles and learn from each other. All because of a simple tool. They also keep me feeling young!

Mike Brown Irwin sells a metric adjustable wrench. Instead of a screw adjust, it has a pull down latch mechanism that has set points for each nut size. They also sell an SAE version. I use to also send students in search of the metric crescent wrench also.

Back in the 80s and 90s both my best friend and my brother-in-law worked at a foundry in Queens, NY that produced tools for Crescent and Cooper. One of the things they also made was Halligan tools for rescue work. As an EMT at the time, I may or may not have had several of these that failed final inspection and somehow got lost in the rework department. I may even still have a short 18" bar in my tools somewhere. The 36" bar disappeared from a construction site right about the time I fired one guy. Imagine that.

With the greatest respect to The Bear, I liked the idea of the combo screwdriver/hammer. A lot of the time when old slotted screws need to be removed they are solidly embedded so besides the normal swearing that is part of working with slotted screws there is the extra swearing required for them being corrosion welded in place. Being able to immediately get more torque by twisting the handle would be nice to help remove the screw. I also see it as a potential kitchen drawer tool where multi function is a benefit. Two down sides I see: 1. Using the right size slotted screw driver makes working with slotted screws slightly more tolerable. This tool only has one size 2. It doesn't work with phillips head screws at all. Maybe the idea could be improved by adding it to a 6 in 1 screwdriver design? Of course, no manufacturer would even consider the idea unless it is Bear approved, so maybe the idea is dead in the water already?

Crescent's Slide Hammer Nail Puller is a fantastic tool that i recommend to everyone. Honestly, it could use some improvements, but there is no improved version offered by anyone else. Literally, nobody makes a comparable tool, at least that I've found. I would have expected that Irwin would have made an improved version by now, but nobody else has touched the idea. for those that are unfamiliar with the tool, it's worth looking up here on the youtubes. Slide Hammer Nail Puller. You'll have never realized how much you need one. But you do. You need one.

Hey Red. I think you mispoke on the turning of the 'Crescent' wrench, or C-wrench as we call it. You want to turn toward the adjuster. The reason isn't much that one side takes more force than the other. It is that you want the little adjuster piece to remain in compression. The solid, long side, is strongest in tension. Comparing which side takes more 'force' is a rabbit hole. The wrench will be strongest, if the small adjusted part isn't in tension. It's that simple. Under compression it has two flats to butt against the frame.
@frankm2588
@frankm2588 4 жыл бұрын
He very definitely misspoke. I did a triple-take on that. The arrow is pointing "down" towards the adjustable side. No one who uses these ever turns them "backwards." Just common sense. In over 50 years of using these I never even noticed the arrow!
@GH-oi2jf
@GH-oi2jf 3 жыл бұрын
I never noticed the arrow, either. It points toward the movable side on my Diamond. Your analysis is correct, I think. Turning it the way most people do naturally forces the movable jaw against the base of the fixed jaw. It also puts more leverage on the nut at the fixed jaw. Those who argue for turning it the other way are just wrong. Of course if you have a sufficiently large size of a quality brand of adjustable wrench, you aren’t likely to break the wrench. If you can’t get the bolt loose, get a sturdy six-point socket and a breaker bar.

Just a theory, but I've notices a few things.. In the phase out of Kobalt and with the emergence of "online" brands like Tekton and Capri, I think Taiwanese foundries who do a lot of work with Apex have been budding off new brands. I think this group of foundries is forging tools under the following brands: Gearwrench, Cresant, Milwaukee (hand tools only), Tekton, Capri, Carlyle, and previously Kobalt. Styles are different, but heattreating, metalury, and in the case of Gearwrench and Tekton it appears they're using the same gears and pawl in their ratchets. This is speculative and unadvertized, but doing a little meta-analsys on youtube, watching a few breakdowns and a lot of tests, I'm coming to this with over 50% certainty. This is a really good foundry if you're looking for mid-tier high value, as it appears most of their tools have little to no difference in their basic specification. That said, some of those brands do carry a small premium and it's not likely you would get much extra for your money, but remain good choices in the segment,

What, no comment about Bahco's current ownership? You must never have done much electrical work-SOP for knockouts is to punch them out with a screwdriver and a hammer. For that matter you can actually get striking screwdrivers that are designed for such tasks. Strictly speaking, Apex was a separately incorporated joint venture of Cooper and Danaher. Most of the hand tools subsidiaries of both companies were moved into the joint venture. Danaher hung onto Matco, Fluke, and Tektronix as I recall.

I have what appears to be a Clyburn wrench in the shed. My plumbing adjustables are all Bahco the black steel ones have nice thin jaws, the shiny ones are too thick and blunt. But to be honest all adjustables are a pain. The phone wallet is possibly the stupidest idea known to man, just lose it in a strange town, after midnight with a low gas tank , what are you going to do ?

Crestaly is pronouned "Crest Alloy", i.e. a conbination of Crescent and Alloy, as Alloy wrenches were new on the scene at the time.

Yea Jamestown. I'm fromm there. Lots of quality mfg came from there and there are still some good products coming out of the small little town in western NY. I had even heard that the early years of Kodak, before it was called Kodak started there. I guess the powers that be would not give funding & it ended up in Rochester.

I too search for USA made tools. I Have a file which reads "Nicholson USA." Then under that says "made in USA." Whereas most files will say "made in Brazil" or Mexico etc. So my question is even if a tool is made in USA, can it still say that if the steel comes from china?

I think a hammer screwdriver combo is a fantastic idea. Id totally put it woth my tools i bring to the junkyard, keeps things light, looks more stout than my little machinists hammer. Its adorable and light but id love something with more power, only thing that sucks is its a flathead and not a philips, cause i use a hammer to hammer on a flathead usually and carrying 2 flatheads makes this kind of redundant cause i use a big thick flathead for this which is what that tool wiuld be

I am from Netherlands, Europe. Here it is a "Bahco" In my younger years I traded used quality tools I bought on government auctions (ex army) I remember having some cresent wrenches. Those were tosed to the cheap tool box because of the stamped letters. Looked cheap to me and European buyers. Like wise happened with Craftsman wrenches. USA made did tell us anything (only Snap On ww knew). The buyers went for: Gedore, Hazet, Stahlwille, Knipex, Wera and Bahco. A Heuer vise went also very fast.

If you strip a screw, many times a hammer hitting a striking screwdriver can get you enough purchase to get a grip on the screw.
