Crescent Tools - The Top Tools for Every Job

Crescent tools have been around since the mid-1800s, and they’ve since expanded to over 80 different kinds of tools across five different categories: hand tools, measuring tools, wrench sets, specialty tools, and multi-tools. No matter what you need to do around the house or on the job site, Penn Tool Co has a tool to suit your needs. With so many options, it can be tough to choose just one tool; luckily, we’ve chosen the top 10 crescent tools that make working easier and more efficient.




Ø Measuring

Knowing a few simple measurements can be incredibly helpful when you’re working with crescent wrenches. For example, in many cases, crescents are used to loosen bolts with a similar diameter as the head of an ordinary wrench. Knowing how big your bolt is in comparison to that larger handle can help you decide whether you need a different tool or if your crescents will work just fine.

Ø Cutting

Crescent wrench pliers. In a nutshell, Crescent wrench pliers are useful for jobs where you need to grip something and turn it, such as removing rusted bolts. They have a curved jaw that wraps around whatever you’re trying to grasp and a bolt extractor on the back of that jaw, which slips into place behind bolt heads and grips them so they can be turned free with minimal effort.

Ø Joining

If you’re working with sheet metal, chances are you’ll be using a seam to join two or more pieces of metal together. A Crescent Welder is a handy tool that allows you to weld metal sheets together using standard bolts and nuts. How? A crescent welder is actually a bolt extractor, but with an ingenious addition: A set of pincers shaped like jaws that clamps onto your bolt when attached to your drill.

Ø Holding

Since bolt extractors are a manual process, you'll have to hold onto whatever you’re loosening in place. You may want to consider a wrench with rubber or cushioning handle grips; these types of handles will keep you from getting blisters on your hands or uncomfortable calluses.




Ø  Cutting & Drilling in One Tool

A crescent wrench is a must-have tool in any mechanic’s toolbox, and it can double as a drill bit. For example, if you’re installing wooden windows and you need to screw them into place, just remove one of your crescent wrench ends and replace it with a screwdriver bit. Slip that end over your drill and use it as a power screwdriver. You’ll save time, energy, effort—and avoid making holes you don’t need to make.

Ø  Drill Bits

A drill bit is a solid cutting tool held in place by a drill chuck and composed of two basic sections: shank and tip. Shank is on a tang that fits into a hole in side of a drill motor. When changing bits, make sure you have the correct bit, one designed to fit your particular model of drill. It’s also important to know whether your new bit is intended to be used with wood or metal. Some bits are compatible with both materials but others aren’t.

Ø Sockets & Ratchets

Crescent ratchets and sockets are preferred by mechanics around the world because they’re designed to be durable and easy to use. Whether you’re trying to take off a pesky tire or fix your roof, Crescent tools have got you covered.
