Charles Lindbergh
made his historic flight
with a reported cargo of
"gasoline, sandwiches,
a bottle of water, and a
Crescent wrench
and pliers."
Crescent develops Crestoloy
steel alloy to make its
adjustable wrenches lighter
and stronger. By 1938,
Crescent is manufacturing
thousands of Crestoloy tools
for the U.S. Army Air Corps.
Crescent vans begin
traveling the country,
visiting distributors and
showing new products.
This is a tradition that
continues to this day.
The media reports that
Crescent tools are aboard
the first manned Gemini
space flight.
