Bacho always look nice tools , I’ve only bacho stilstons they been good , anyone got spammers sockets ? How you rAte them ?

I have quite a bit of Bahco - 3/8 socket set, 1/2 socket set and two mixed sets. All very good stuff. I really like their cases too, strong and sturdy with good hinges and catches so last well sat in a tractor cab or toolbox.

Have a Bahco adjustable too - personally prefer my cheapo versions though as the Bahco one will go rusty if it gets damp whereas the bog standard chromed ones don't. I see they now do chromed ones though.

I think I have a small adjustable too with extra thin jaws with comes in handy from time to time.

Do you not know any of the young lads starting out, be a good place to start with your old kit and just add a few modern bits n bobs

Young lads these days will want "designer" tool boxes & tools, such as snap on lol
Probably turn their noses up at my old Clarke professional box & Sykes Pickavant box along with the assortment of tools !
But they could save several thousand pound by spending a few hundred quid on them.
I don't know anyone personally though...

I take it you mean Bahco. It's the name for an adjustable spanner overhere, like crescent wrench is the name in the usa. Also named english key funnily.

Yes, sorry. Swedish make.
 
got mainly/ stahlwille stuff for my main box.......there ratchet combi spanners are good........1\2 inch sockets metric/imperial........3 torque wrenches of different sizes .......metric/imperial open box spanners......apart from the ratchet spanners all picked up secondhand off ebay ect........so no need to brake the bank if you have the patience to look for good kit secondhand......and when the are good you tend to make sure they are put back in the box ......will cost a bleddy fortune to replace if them robbers decide to call

If you want a fantastic set of 25 spanner’s at very reasonable price I cannot recommend these highly enough - I have bought 2 sets of them now - seriously unbeatable - Nielsen soft grip 6-32mm
