Crescent is an Apex Tool Co brand, like GearWrench, Allen, SATA, etc and several others.
I suspect their sockets and ratchets are made in the same plants as their Gearwrench line.

Apex Tool Group is the manufacturer of Crescent so it's neither. Apex owns GearWrench so they are possibly the same.

I see WWheeler answered above. So same.

That helps I guess I was wondering why that are so cheep can get individual sockets for around two bucks on Amazon

Has anyone ever made a list of what brand tools infar or Gedor makes I think infar makes icon anti slip wrenches but not sure

I have some older socket and a ratchet, I guessing from the 1980's or 90's are they the same as above?

Second question I have several sockets and a claw hammer from the same period that are made by Ridged. Are they anything special?

According to Wikipedia:

The Crescent Tool Company was acquired by a group of investors from Schoellkopf, Hutton & Pomeroy in 1960 after Marvin Peterson, Karl's son, sold it. The combined company was renamed the Crescent Niagara Corporation. In 1968, Crescent Niagara was acquired by Cooper Industries. In 2010, the tool divisions of Cooper Industries and Danaher Corporation formed a joint venture, Apex Tool Group, LLC. The brand is currently owned by Apex Brands, Inc. the intellectual property entity of Apex Tool Group.
