Are Bahco 80 series adjustable wrenches still made in Sweden, or are they made in Spain?

What adjustables should I get?

Two years ago they moved the adjustable wrenches from Enkoping Sweden to Spain, after 115 years of production...what that means for quality is too early say I beleive:headscrat

Do you know what still is produced in sweden ? ( scraper "625" + "650", hacksaw "319" + "325" + the new handsaw system handle + other saws + sawing blades) what else ?


ps: feel free to post your Bahco tools (and other tools) in this thread:

I'm glad to say that all kind of saw stuff are still made in Bollnäs and Lidköping! Very good saw blades! But four years ago they moved the production of small hacksaws to Portugal...(like the 319 and 325)

They make woodsaws among other wood-tools at the huge plant in Bollnäs, but I have to ask around to see where the 625 and 650 are made, could be outside sweden. I'm pretty sure the new system blades are made in Bollnäs, if I'm wrong I'll let you know. I have to ask employees at the plants to get bulletproof answers so it can take some time:)

I have the Bahco 8" wide-jaw with ergo grip. What a nice tool that is, made in Sweden also. Paid about $10, the Snappy equivalent (rebranded) is like $50 except it may have the flank drive plus feature.
