Frequently Asked Questions

Are Crescent socket sets compatible with other brands?

Yes, Crescent sockets and ratchets follow standard drive sizes (1/4", 3/8", and 1/2"), making them fully compatible with other professional tool brands. Their precise manufacturing ensures excellent fitment across different manufacturers' tools.

What's the difference between 6-point and 12-point sockets?

6-point sockets provide better grip on fastener corners and are less likely to round off bolt heads, making them ideal for high-torque applications. 12-point sockets offer more flexibility in tight spaces where you need to reposition the ratchet frequently, though they distribute force across smaller contact points.

Do Crescent spanners come with a warranty?

Crescent tools are backed by excellent warranty coverage, reflecting the manufacturer's confidence in their durability and craftsmanship. Specific warranty terms vary by product, so check individual listings or contact our team for detailed information.
