[ashwin2936]

Bahco are a good quality make, now all my 1000v Insulated drivers are bahco after spending near 60 quid on a Wera interlock set with which the handle gave way after 6 months use.

Mate has side cutters made by bahco and they're decent sharp after donkey years.

??? Thats an old brand??? I think?? I had some of them in my tool kit an they were good/strong/well made.

Did`nt know they still made them, if it is the same makers as the bits I had then no worries.

Bahco tools are very good, most of the tools I use at work on a daily basis are Bahco.

They should be good, they made the first decent adjustable spanners, Never a mm of play in their adjustables.

I may be wrong, but didn't Bacho produce the first adjustable spanner? Generally found them to be good quality.

My 1/2" set is Bahco, excellent bit of kit.

Wotcha.

I swear by their adjustable spanners. I've managed to break two of 'em and both of 'em have been replaced free of charge. In fact I only broke the one last month . . . . . . and I bought that spanner new back in around 1987 . . . . it was still replaced with a brand new shiny one.

I wouldn't use any shifter other than a Bahco (at the last count I have , from 4" to 15"). I use a quarter drive Bahco socket set at work and in about 10 years of use I havent broken anything. Only thing I dont like about it is that the carry handle is single sided so if you forget to fasten the clips the box comes open as you lift it!

[ashwin2936]

cheers for the advice. I've ordered the set this morning and I'll let you know how I get on with them.
