I use this thing at least once a day, it’s literally been the perfect size for most hydraulic lines on heavy equipment. The rubber on the handle hasn’t swollen or deformed at all, the jaws are still parallel, and everything is still tight 👍🏻
@@hester781 any chance you utilize Plier wrenches? Currently have the 180 knipex but considering the bahco 6” thin teeth for tight spaces but not quite sure I’ll need them just yet
@@ChrisBranleh I do use the 180 knipex and I love them in certain applications but in my opinion when space is tight they are kinda clumsy and awkward, the Bahco basically fits anywhere I can fit my hand and I can work “blindly” with them adjustment wise
They are made in Spain now and the quality sucks. Wobbly yaw, gap between yaws, very sharp and rough edges, soft metal. 3 times in a row with all the same failures is no more Bahco for me.
I’m guessing your name says it all? Lol everything i can find says they are still made in Europe, although I wouldn’t be surprised if they started cutting corners on quality like everyone else
@@hester781 Apparently the Spain ones _are_ good. When I bought one I got a used one, making sure it had Sweden stamped on it, but the jaws don't open as wide with it being the older version. Another one that's just as good is the old Craftsman USA adjustable. AI have seen a lot of people saying the older versions of both Bahco and Craftsman from the 1980's are better then the newer ones. Some have become really bad, like Crescent.

It might be the best thing ever invented, as long as it's a good one like Bahco Sweden or the old Craftsman USA.
Couple years later and I have zero complaints! I’ve even put a pipe on it at a time or two lol
I own one its an awsome tool for plumbing
where is this manufactured?
Spain nowadays and you can see and feel it.
@@trollmeister69 Are they better or worse?
@@jorgecota4439 worse
All my searching says they are manufactured in Europe. I haven’t seen any issues in quality and I use them daily
Any update?

@@hester781 perfect. Looks like I have a reason to buy a new tool. Thanks!
@@ChrisBranleh No worries 👍🏻

Since when?

@@hester781 It seems like a bot to me. I've seen this same comment on a few videos.
@@richardrounce7138 definitely could be!
