Crescent warranty for hand tools

75/100 Warranty ScoreRanked 1 of 39 brands
The short version

Crescent covers hand tools in full for life, with no partial coverage after that. That full coverage is longer than most of the 39 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
