Bahco tools

[astrodoggie3000]

How is the quality of Bahco tools outside of the US? I actually prefer the matt finish on tools, but i'm unsure of the quality of the tools themselves. I'm looking at the socket sets and wrenches.

Bahco makes solid tools I own some wrenches,screwdrivers and pliers.Good quality tools.

When it comes too wrenches, it´s just Bahco for me.
Their best series are called 1952 M=metric, Z=inches.

Their best sockets are called 6700 SM= metric, SZ= inches.

I also think their new ratchet 6950 looks pretty cool, more like snap-on now:

Good luck with your purchases!

I have a set of the 1952M wrenches, very nice

A set of the 80/72 tooth ratchets

Great tools for the price

I would probably chase a good deal for a Facom set at that price. They might be just as tough - who knows - but with Facom you know what you're getting.

A quick search came about with this:

With facoms recent acquisition by Stanley you most assuredly don't know what you are going to get.The newer facom line is definatley not the same quality as the older French made tools.Bahco is a snap on brand.

Those combo wrenches with the offset box end are pretty interesting.

Decent value too, $100 shipped to the States for 10 wrench set. Made in Argentina...

Argentina.

Where are the socket sets made? Not that is a deal breaker... if the quality is good. All my other Bahco tools are top notch, and very comfortable to use.
