EXCELLENT and very HIGH QUALITY tools! Dec 01, 2007
By Claude H. Suddreth
"Opinion Expert"
First of all let me say that these tools are very high quality items which are infinitely superior to most of the "junk" type chinese tools you see in this price range. For your average home mechanic - these will be the last tools you will EVER need to buy - period.
For a professional mechanic - these tools will serve you well also. Now a pro can always manage to bend, break, or damage any tool - no matter the brand. And it is always handy to have a tool truck which comes by for easy replacement. But lets be serious for a moment. How much would this tool from Snap-On, MAC, Matco, or Cornwell cost? Now compare that to the price of these. You could buy 2 of these, and if one breaks, have your own spare while you get the warranty taken care of - and STILL have money left over.
Bahco is a reputable brand. It is owned by Snap-On Tools/JH Williams Tool Company - but it is not Snap-on itself. Bahco is headquartered in Sweden, and I believe have many of their manufacturing facilities in Europe, although after being acquired by Snap-On/JH Williams it appears they are now making some tools here also since some Bahco products now carry the Made in USA marking. Snap-On is headquartered here, and for the most part, made here in the USA. So it is truthful to say that Bahco is related to Snap-On. But do not think that the Bahco tool is made of the same casting and in the same facility as the Snap-On tool. I can find no information anywhere that implies this is the case, even after visiting the Snap-On, Bahco, and JH Williams corporate websites.
However that in no way affects the intrinsic quality and finish of these tools, which is outstanding, or the years of service they will provide. All in all these are an excellent tool and an absolute unbelievable value in terms of cost to quality. When Bahco becomes more well known in the USA market - expect the prices of these tools to go up by 200% or more. But for now - get the bargain - while it is still here!

Great wrenches at a great price! Jan 14, 2011
By Robert Bowen
"Automotive Reader and Writer"
These are really nice wrenches for the money - about 1/2 of a comparable Craftsman set. Made in USA, unlike most other tools in this price range. NOT chinese crap.
One note, these wrenches are old stock and this style is not currently in production to my knowledge. However, these are available with "Williams" stamped on them as "Supercombo" and replacements/filler wrenches are available from open stock at Harry Epstein.

No Deception! Full Warranty available thru Amazon or Bahco Dec 28, 2006
By P. Willing
"nordicwoman"
I purchased these for my fiance who is in the HVAC trade. There is no deception! These wrenches do have a full warranty on them by Bahco Products. It is true that they cannot be returned to a Snap-on dealer or truck however, a full warranty replacement can be done through Amazon.com or by returning the product back to the manufacturer. I called customer service at Bahco (Who is owned by Snap-On Tools) and was told this information by their customer service department. My fiance was very pleased with his gift, and the quality of the wrenches.
