Are Bacho tools any good?

[Chris-Davies]

I was offered 6 Bacho screwdrivers and a pair of sidecutters the other day by a friend for £30?
They are second hand but look pretty new, if they were that good, why would he be selling them in the first place?
What you reckon guys? :s

Very good tools i only use there side cutters now as they stay sharp very well they do a range of small side cutters ergo which are spring loaded which is my chosen tool now adays

very good tools Chris. don't think you'll get anyone to say a bad word about em.
of course, tools are only as good as the person using them. if they're a tool...

I've used bahco high leverage sidecutters for the past 3 years and they are top notch. Only thing I didn't like about my particular model was there was quite a lot of uninsulated metal near the cutters, so not great for live work (not that I've ever done such a thing, you understand). Recently switched back to Knipex for the above reason (and because I've blown 2 holes in the bahcos) and can honestly say they are only marginally better.

Bacho wrenches with the rubberish handles are the canines testicles.

Famous for inventing the adjustable spanner

I've used the sidecutters for years, have a nice feel and controllable, never worn any out as they usually get stolen!.

did break the tip of a set of barco side cutters ,they didnt like being dropped 6 meters onto a metal manhole cover ,and only the second time i used them gutted !! , i got my mate a set of knippex but they have gone blunt very quickly ,quite dissapointed with them
