Tool Brands

Just to throw another name into the mix, how about BAHCO? I got a 3/8" socket set a little while ago from Bunnings, and it's been fantastic.

Bahco eh? Yeah, I saw them in a few places (Mitre 10 etc), had a look on their website etc- Swedish based, seem to have a complete kit, Looks like it's sold in UK even, but nobody seems to use them! Looks alright though...

Have to say I'm still preferring King Tony and Koken stuff though, and for what I'll be using it for, probably the King Tony stuff will be the best value for money for me, bearing in mind my current experience (not much/ enough!). So now I'm saving up, and pricing up the bits I need against the tool chest idea- yeah it's bling like, but the Silver Racing chest does look good! Darn I'm a sucker for shiny metal stuff!

So, any one ever import tools etc, and anyone ever use those off set wrenches?

PS. I'll price the Koken stuff too, just in case!

I've got a 3/8" BAHCO set, its pretty darn good, but by far koken is the best buy, my 1/2" drive is bloody fantastic and the price wasn't to bad neither.

I've got a JBS socket set and spanner set, and it's all pretty dam good.

I've given it alot of abuse and is hasn't complained at all.
Although the socket set is a little bulky.

Also have King chrome and they're all good.

my offset spanners are some of my favorite and most used tools, along with my long flat double ring spanners.

They're good for getting onto places where you need an offset but can't fit something like a 1/4" ratchet and socket eg: taking a dash out of a bf falcon
