Best hand tool set I own

Crescent 170 Piece Mechanics Tool Set

This is by far the best general purpose tool kit for the money I've seen yet (I'm over a half century old). I bought one of these kits 2 years ago (at a much higher price) to carry on a work boat with not much room to store tools. It has held up very well and takes care of nearly all my onboard tool needs. I have owned several other kits but none as complete and versatile and compact (for the amount of tools) as this one. The tools are easily removed and replaced but stay put when the case is open or closed After two years occasionally a couple of the bit holders will fall out when I open the case but mine are subjected to a rough marine environment. I'd rather have them like that than have to struggle to get them out. I have a Channel Loc set that I use at home but it has no pliers, screwdrivers, or adjustable wrench. I have to get a tool to pry the tools out of the case and it cost more. This set is much better. As others said, the quality is good, way above average for Chinese made hand tools IMO. Another thing I like is the 12 point sockets. Most inexpensive kits of this type are six point only. The trick to making the latches last for years is to not bend them any more than needed to open the case. With a little care these tools will last a lifetime and more.
