    I got few ratches and have try out most of them. I like the desing and grip, it is silent and smooth. that "odd" lever desing works. Chrome is awesome, it mirror good. Thing about ratchets is; you have to try them out and find the one that you like and go with it.

    Yes it is. Yes they do, I gues most have also found that normal U-side on wrenches are fine, but sometimes there comes bolt that you need "open end" that is turned like Stahlwille. Those Bahco wrenches got both "open end's".

Bahco UV or "U-Vinkel" Idea is both ends are with same size, so you can leave Stahlwille or Dowidat wrenches unused. Three sizes are made to same base...
