About Bahco
Why do… Bahco products carry a fish and a hook
After Göran Fredrik Göransson had established his steel mill in 1862, the European steel industry in the eighteen seventies had a long depression with low prices for general steel and crude steel products. The prices for processed steel were much better, which created an interest in processing the steel further. In 1876 the existing steel rolling mill was changed to produce so-called milled steel.
When the production of saw blades commenced in 1886 there was a need for a brand, which could communicate the blades’ special properties and quality, and the choice was – quite naturally – the fish and hook.
The Fish & Hook Story
“Give me the saw with the little fish.”
Everybody understood that steel with a quality for fishing hooks was perfect for saws and other cutting tools as well. It was a great advantage, a brand logo not including letters, language or sophisticated figures making it a symbol easy to recognize. As late as the nineteen fifties, one could still hear boreal forest workers asking for a saw “with the little fish”; as is still the case today in countries with developing literacy rates.
A fishing hook must be hard and strong, but absolutely not brittle. At that time producing the combination “hard but tough” was an inconsistent and thorny metallurgic task, but the “Bessemer steel” from Göransson’s steel mill delivered optimal quality.

A superb quality wrenchMay seem a bit pricey for a wrench but with Bahco tools you certainly get what you pay for. The wrench is compact but you can still get good torque – ideal for working in confined spaces. The jaws are wide and deep and the adjustment is very precise with none of the play you get on cheaper tools. Highly recommend

Great quality, easy to useI bought this to try and remove some rusted bolts from a garden bench. My old wrench wasn’t making much headway.They came off easily with the Bahco as it’s grip was much sharper and the grip easy to apply significant pressure.Very happy with my purchase.

Fantastic quality adjustable spannerHaving gotten increasingly frustrated with my cheapo adjustable spanner not being able to adjust the size single handedly just because of, well, poor tolerances I guess, these Bahco spanners are a dream to use.
