Where to buy Bahco socket sets?

[Fetzo]

Hi all,

Does anyone know where I can buy Bahco socket sets in the US?
To be more specific, looking for a Bahco S106 socket set.

Hello!

I can't help you with where to buy, but i have the S106 and can give you my opinion:

The 1/2" stuff are good, nice fit between parts and good finish. I much prefer the satin to a shiny chrome. The box is nice, just don't make my mistake and open it upside down...

The 1/4" stuff i have some reservation about though. Everything looks nice and so, but i think the fit is a bit off. A socket or bit on the driver or ratchet wobbles a bit to much for me to consider it good. Perhaps it's just the size difference that makes it seem like it, but i feel that the 1/2" has less wobble than the 1/4" parts.

I'm satisfied with it, but also glad that i bought it at sale. Taiwan made, which isn't declared in the brochure.

Check Harry Epstein.

Also check Ebay: one of my favorite sellers on there, who has great prices on Starrett "seconds" also has some SO and Bahco. The Bahco look very similar to the Kobalt/Snap-On sockets I've seen.

Try Prime Tools UK. They're happy to ship to the US. The website is a pain, but there seems to be a rule that all tool websites ****. BTW, I haven't had a problem ordering from England. The postal service is really fast. They screw up occasionally but so does USPS.

The Bahco S106 is £230, or a bit over $350 today.

Then I checked eBay UK. Holy sockets, batman. £110? For that set?

What does everyone know about Bahco quality? That set would make a great travel set. Geez, look at the list. Who recently was talking about buying c-man for a starter set?
