Crescent 3/4 inch drive socket set reviews?

[sseddon641]

I was in menards last night and seen crescent had both sae and metric 3/4 drive sets for $130 each. Seemed like a halfway decent price for a 3/4 drive set but don't have any experience with crescent brand socket sets. Any one have and experience with a crescent set? Maybe even the 3/4
Inch set?

Crescent is not exactly known for that type of stuff so I would approach with caution.

Derp, I said the exact opposite of what I meant, ok fixed it.

That's a great price, but Crescent is basically a value brand anymore.

Apex pretty much delegated all their "old world" brands to being just that - brands with names stamped on very cheap tools. A 3/4" kit for that little is bound to be low quality Chinaman made junk.

I think you guys have basically just reassured what I originally thought.
Right now I have a really cheap china sae set I picked up for around 100 bucks new and the ratchet is horrible but the socket seem to work great considering what I paid for
Them. I just thought maybe if I got the metric set the ratchet would be a good upgrade. But I think I may pass in the set for now since I really don't need metrics that big at this point.
