That's good to know, I wonder if you tried it with any Bahco sockets?

Hello, I deeply enjoyed this thread. Learned a lot from your experience and comments and I just hope I had read a thread like this before buying the sets. Like I mentioned I did get my hands on a Bahco 7825MHP 1/2 drive. I was expecting a Made in Spain set but this one came labelled as Made in...

I do agree with this, I believe it's not really a manufacturer or quality defect, it's just cost and design choices. The problem is not the country of origin, I believe made in Taiwan or China can be of excellent quality as well. I struggle to understand how a company would profit from...

If anything, this is more expensive to manufacture. It's an extra step?

So, it is possible and some brands do it on a consistent basis! That is great! I would love to try one to feel the difference. Very interesting statement. Do you think this view reflects the majority of the market? If so, I can see why a brand doesn't care or specifically avoids tighter...

Hello everyone, Thank you all for your feedback. I really appreciate your experienced views on the subject. Thanks Dave455 for the excellent explanation. Honestly, I'm struggling to understand this as a quality issue or a manufacturing defect. Because all of the sockets from both sets (one...

Yes, they all have similar amount of play. The universal joint seems to fit a bit tighter but all sockets and extensions are the same. Why would Bahco design the sockets like that? Because it's not the ratchet, is the socket design that allow this amount of play? Is there any advantage in...

Hello Everyone, It's my first post and I hope you guys can help me! I'm a really basic DIY but I like tools, I can appreciate really well built tool and sometimes I don't mind the extra spend for that extra quality. When it comes to ratches and sockets, I use them mostly on my cars. I...
