  Crescent provided me with this wrench in return for my review and I thank them for this. Positives right out of the package: solid, positive clicks with the ratcheting action, the finish. Cons out of the package: Heavy, bulky, thick. The concept of the wrench is great; however, in my time with it I found it less useful than a standard wrench (see cons above). It's hard to get it into tight spots when working on my truck or my wife's SUV. I had no issues using it when space wasn't a problem. It's not very long either, so getting leverage on it in some instances was difficult. The wrench overal was easy to operate. It didn't slip on the heads of bolts, nor on any nuts. The ratcheting feature works flawlessly, and the switch has a positive click when switching between tightening and loosening. The wrench sizes are easy to read. At the end of the day, I see this as a niche wrench. What I mean by that is that this would be something you could put in your car for those roadside emergencies. A farmer could keep it in their tractor or truck for field repairs. Because it's essentually a wrench set in a couple of wrenches. I do not see it (for me anyway) as a go to wrench for daily use in a shop or even a shade tree mechanic due to it being heavy and bulky as I said above
