Bahco impact sockets

[Jim Hunter]

Hello guys,

Today I receive two Bahco impact sokcets along with one extension for 1.1/2" drive.

What a pleasant surprise to discover they are made in USA

Due to the nature of my work we are using 1" and 1.1/2" impact sockets and
until now we have Facom and Ega Master.
The quality of the machining on the Bahco is second to none , they have no imperfections at all !

US made tools are rare down here but their quality is just awesome

Pictures will follow !

Must be NOS then. There was a brief period of time under Snap on ownership when some Bahco tools were USA made. For something like impact sockets, I'd be much more concerned about how thick the sockets are and how rust resistant the finish is than how pretty they look.

Glad to know they are NOS , so Snap On makes them for a short period of time ?
They are heavier and thicker compared to the Facom/Ega Master also their oxide finish looks capable of heavy use...

Probably the same as Williams at the time; if so, it's definitely good quality

This would be my guess also. They made some ratchets,wrenchs and sockets for Bahco in the US as well as some for Harley Davidson.
