Crescent™ Tools has been overhauled over the past two years, and that continues with the announcement that Apex Tool Group—one of the largest tool manufacturers in the world—is bringing the APEX^® Industrial Fastening brand under the Crescent umbrella as Crescent APEX^®. The transition was on full display at the recent Specialty Tools and Fasteners Distributers Association (STAFDA) Convention & Trade Show Nov. 10-12 at Music City Center in Nashville, Tenn.

The new Crescent APEX brand will offer innovative power tool accessories used by industrial and construction tradesmen, including their professional line of u-GUARD^® non-marring covered tools.

“The APEX brand’s legacy as a category leader in fastening is at the core of this decision,” said Griffin Biering, global marketing director at Apex Tool Group. “The fastening innovation we’ve spearheaded in the assembly manufacturing space is carrying into the construction market. With Crescent’s deep connection to professional tradespeople, we are combining our efforts and delivering superior power tool accessories from a brand they trust.”

Crescent APEX^® becomes the sixth brand under the Crescent name, joining Crescent Wiss^®, Crescent Lufkin^®, Crescent Nicholson^®, Crescent H.K. Porter^®, and Crescent JOBOX^®. The move bolsters Crescent’s ability to provide professionals in construction, carpentry, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general contracting with best-in-class tools.
