Snap-on is a dying brand…they’re similar to thur-value hardware. $100 for a tiny racket is just stupid…you’re not going to put much force in it
How? Snap on owns this company. You buy this and your still giving snap on your money.
@@willydilly9020 yes you're still giving snap on your money but you're only giving them 25% of what you would have had you paid for the original name brand. Same difference if you buy Ryobi instead of Milwaukee. Of course Milwaukee has more bells and whistles but Ryobi has stepped their game up with their quality and features you know how; because the same mother company that produces Milwaukee also produces Ryobi they're made in the same factory. Most generic or off-brand products are owned by a parent company of a name brand. This is so they can still make more revenue by selling a product to people at a lower cost yet they advertise under a different name and have different aesthetics so that you don't realize it's essentially the same product. This keeps their name separated so that the people that can afford their actual name brand will continue to buy at that inflated price; and those that can't afford the name brand are still giving them their money for the cheaper tool that they don't even realize is owned by the same company, and so essentially no matter what you buy you're always giving a name brand company your money anyway. So it's good to do the research on what companies are owned by who so that you can get a product that you know is quality because you know that it's made in the same factory as the name brand you actually want. I never heard of this brand before and I'm so thankful that he actually brought this to light because now I know I can get snap on tools under a different name at 25% of the price. Basically having that information is like getting a 75% coupon. Don't hate appreciate.
@@jerichojoe307 Yeah, stop wasting money on Milwaukee fuel. Get Hart instead.
For those of you who think BAHCO is a small and odd and not trust worthy brand.
What you call a Crescent wrench got its shape and form by Swedish inventor J P Johansson (not to mistake for C E Johansson, the guy with the gauge blocks). Got mass produced by BAHCO 1910-ish. The plumber wrench as we know it originated from Johansson/BAHCO. So BAHCO was there from the start.
Anyone who doesn't trust Bahco hasn't looked into them at all. Seriously high quality Swedish brand. Best adjustable wrenches manufactured anywhere hands down and top-tier ratchets too.
This is a perfect candidate to put a 3/8” drive into it!
💯
Snap on already makes that (I have one)
The fat handle would be more comfy at some cost to access. Can’t beat the price tho. 👏👏
@@orbitaljellyfish808 Yeah I know, don’t feel like paying $110+ for that little ratchet though
@@orbitaljellyfish808 you can buy the rebuild kits for $25. And they carry the lifetime warranty.
Ok find out who makes/copies matco spring loaded/locking 3 piece 3/8 extensions
Williams Tool Co is snap-on’s industrial brand. Same tools, no truck, much lower price.
Super excited for content about value tools with affordable price tags and good quality for the money. Thanks for sharing!
BAHCO (SNA Europe) includes these old spanish brands of tools IRAZOLA (screwdrivers), ACESA, IRIMO and PALMERA.
Is made in ACESA factory in vitoria, my town. I have been there a couple of times, forging a lot of items of SNA
I work on heavy equipment for a living. I have a mix of harbor freight, craftsman, wright, proto, and trucraft. Works the same as a snap on and most of my tools were hand me downs from my grandfather and dad. They all make me money just the same and rarely ever break anything
Exactly!
Whenever someone tells me there uncle has 50,000 dollars worth of tools, I'll remind them that they really have 30,000 dollars worth of tools with an added convenience delivery fee.
I also have the hand me downs and the wide variety of USA tools along with foreign tools.
The same is true for the Bahco 3/8 and 1/2 ratchets too. I have them all, and I have to say I prefer the handle on the Bahco to the skinny Snap on comfort grip. So far they have performed impeccably for 18 months and are a fractiom of the Snap on UK price!
Awesome find! I have one Snap-On tool, it's an extra long 14mm spanner, I bought it to replace the one I lost from my Mastercraft (Canadian Tire brand) set. The best part is I now have one wrench that cost more than the entire rest of the set, 8mm-21mm. 😂🙃
Hahahahaha
Mine is a 13mm😅
The fact that it's made somewhere other then China makes me want it even more!
Amen!
If it was made in china quality control would have been better
$46 now when I use your link. Talk about inflation.
Its over $100 now!!!!!!!!!!
@@bigbillmontgomeryjr2346 Amazon still has them for $45.
Not sure if it always had an SB in front of the part #6950. Looks to be the same as the one in the video.
Is made in my city, made in the old ACESA factory that Bahco bought in the 90s. In the usa made the only part made there is only the forging, the internals are all the same for all SNA group of companies
I really like comfort grips, but not on a tiny ratchet. I wish the handle was slim.
Cut it off then
Modify it then
@@smashyrashy if someone has told you size isn’t important, they were just sparing your feelings.
@@Mahalo_83 it's common sense, only teenagers or sluts care about size which i would strongly advice against pursuing either
@@Vel_D i didn't ask you
For all Americans; Bahco is a premium brand in Europe (part of the tools previously marketed as Sandvik.
Sandvik came to own the Bahco brand at some point - came to own a bunch of other famous tool brands (like E.A. Berg) as well, which - from that point onward - were all branded as Bahco).
To correct a bunch of information on the internet; Snap-on did not "buy Sandvik". They bought "Sandvik Saws & Tools" - just their tools division. Sandvik is still very much alive as a company)
Fun facts:
In the Netherlands, an adjustable wrench is often called a 'Bahco'.
They were the first ones to introduce a quality version of those here (I have some from the 1970s/80s that are still in perfect shape)
They were made from 'Swedish steel', a certain steel & process that was originally developed for making fish hooks. Later they decided to make tools out of it as well, considering the steel's strength and corrosion resistance.
But that's where the Bahco (and previously Sandvik) logo with the fish & hook comes from.
The Fish+hook logo was originally only used for tools that were made with that special fish hook steel. As a sign of quality (I still have 2 Sandvik hand saws with that logo. 1 bastard file too. All amazing).
Currently, it seems like everything is branded with that logo, regardless of the material.
Still one of the better consumer tool brands, though)
Thats some good info right there , thanks. Also in some countries Gedore brand is synonym for ratchets .
@@Xv1p3rCr0 thanks :)
And yes, Gedore is an amazing brand - and their ratchets are very nice to work with (I've used a 1/2", and I think.. I might have a 3/8" torque measuring device. (It's from Gedore or one of their sub-brands))
I love German tools, but Gedore is exceptional quality. Tools for life (..or 2 lifetimes, even). I have some from my father too :)
I actually work for the Bahco group welding bandsaw. There is an adjustable wrench, that has a reversible sliding jaw. One side is flat and the other is groved like a pipe wrench. It work great.
What’s the name of it?
And if the guys at snap-on were not fans prior, they will just foam out of their mouth now 😂
Stuff like this is a miracle to see for people building a good collection that'll last on a budget
Wow, that’s a nice looking ratchet. Thanks for sharing, you probably just set me back $30. 😂
Where’s the link?
Most of my tools are Bahco, they're excellent. As a plumber, my adjustable wrenches get a lot of use and abuse. They're made in Sweden and the steel is up to the standard you would expect from that country.
The founder of bahco invented the adjustable wrench and I belive the pipe wrench as well
I immediately went to Amazon, and found tons of Bahco tools. Some that I'd be buying. I love tools...and one day I'd learn how to use them.
This lineup must've been in the market close to a decade now. Caused a bit of a stir over at GarageJournal back in the day.
That big bulky handle defeats one of the reasons you reach for a quarter drive ratchet. Tight and limited swing situations. Comfort of the handle takes a backseat to being able to maneuver.
Here in Argentina bahco tools are considered really good tools, maybe even the best. Up until a couple of year ago they had lifetime warranty.
I don't subscribe to very many videos but you've got me hooked on that. I'm a HVAC guy not a mechanic but this new equipment we have to use quarter inch Drive ratchets all the time and either they get stuck teeth wear out or we lose them in attic insulation! You haven't been pissed off yet until you lose $100 ratchet in attic insulation🤬
I use a lots of BAHCO tools for long time, and they are in the top3 of my favourite tools
Now they're gonna up the price thanks
aaaannnnnnd you were right... Its 100 buckaroos now lmao
Work for a company selling Bahco tools among other things, another money saver is buying any of their larger bit sets instead of the small 59/S28-4. They are usually a third of the price, and have 3 times the bits including all of the ones from 59/S28-4.
Also, a lot of pliers, screwdrivers and calipers from Bahco, Snap-on, Facom and Draper seem to come from the same manufacturers in China, as far as we can tell they are the same quality, just with a different grip. If you can, compare them before you buy.
Most prices are marked up way above what they should be. Don't necessarily need the top brand.
Bahco is good enough for me!
And watch the price go up
Yeah it’s 45 now lol
@@Rilly_rob_joe that's just inflation
@@wytze01 I swear every time I see a TH-camr review a product and get a good sized following ready to buy the price always goes up online by at least 10 percent
@@wytze01 lol
Thanks to this video, now they’re basically the same price lol
In my experience I found that with snap-on you pay for the mechanism and design, but also the “super” hard chrome coating which is why alot of aerospace companies choose snap-on because it reduces the risk of FOD.
In my case, Koken has been getting the nod lately. Good 'every day front line' stuff... no issues.
Until it breaks. The real cheap snapon is harbor freight, the tools kinda suck but they have snapon quality warranties. Id rather just buy cheapo stuff and whenever i break it get a new one free.
I needed to see this, Thank You
Bahco used to make really good shit when it was made in Sweden. Today its some good, some worthöess junk.
I've always shook my head at fellow mechanics who bought Snap-on tools. Such a money grab.
I doubt bahco wouldn’t replace my ratchet if I walked in at 101 years old . Some say lifetime tool is 15 years service life . Snap on will always replace it or repair it no matter . One of the true things Americans can boast about is great
Been looking for a channel like this. Subscribed
Thank YOU!!
I like the Bahco handle
Nice to have a comfort grip.
Sometimes they get in the way
I'd rip it off the moment it was out of the box
@@Tibyon i would dig through your trash, find the ripped off comfort handle & put it on my ratchet, giving me a ratchet approximately 3x as comfy as yours
that right there just got you a new subscriber !
Snap on has entered the chat
Didn’t need to spend it because I found one on the steering rack of a Volvo. By far my favourite rachet
I’ve recently bought a Bahco socket set great quality and hex sockets 👌also bought a quarter inch bahco socket set which is spot on 👍
I bloody knew my bahco 1/4 was over powered it makes total sense now haha
Thank you !
I use my t72 to fit in tight spaces. Bigger handle reduces the spaces it will fit.
I have a snap on t936 was a 1/4 but got the kit and converted to 3/8 such a handy little ratchet
I prefer the snap-on handle.
I use a blue-point 1/4 drive I found in the engine bay of a Nissan Patrol SWB diesel.
It's my most used tool along with a no brand 10mm deep 1/4 drive socket I also found.
They are back in stock on Amazon. Just bought one!
I know it isnt perfect but my performance tool 1/4 & 3/8 ratchet is amazing and i have beat the crap out of it and it still outperforms all my other ratchets.
💯💯🔥this is fire content !!
I find Bacho just as good as Snap on been using into to rebuild engines for years
Yoooo thank you broo bless up!
In Sweden, Bahco is considered to be really good quality and is in the higher price range .. tools made in the US are quite a small part of the market unfortunately ..
I have the snap-on and the bluepoint. Now I'll have to add the bahco to my collection. Thanks
Williams is also made by snap-on. 8" 1/4 drive flex head ratchet for 1/3 of the price.
I’ve had good luck with my bacho tools
This is one of those tools where you look over your shoulder after buying it thinking that you’re going to get in trouble because you feel like he stole it😂
Now where to find one in stock? Lol... Keep up the great finds brother!
I was actually looking for another 1/4” ratchet while the new koken is not available.. i guess i know what i will be buying tomorrow..
How was it?
@@VoltzyBoi didn’t arrive yet. Out of stock, so they say
The 2nd nicest part is the thicker handle! I have NEVER seen a mechanic with dainty hands...
Bahco makes high quality tools
But do look at the forging on the handle; so much smaller than the other ratchet, because it is a little different. Not sure if it’s worth the extra money, but snap on does have a reputation of being quality. Using it everyday for work, I’m getting the snap on
I bought the gearwrench t90 1/4 recently, it's really nice. Tools are cheap in the uk.
The neck on the bahco also looks a little more beefy as well which would probably never snap on you, not that the other one would but just probably feels better on your hand
i have a pair of bahco end cutters and they're still super comfortable to use
I just pissed my pants
Great! Call em out!
I dunno, a lot of the guys that like these older style ratchets (in my experience + my own preference) like them for the shape of the ratchet itself. For example some people like myself only want a stubby if it has a ball at the end like the older 3/8 stubby did.
It's a cool find but with how modern ratchet mechanisms are so good now across most brands that I just wish there was one that emulate the shapes of the snap on.
Astro tool sells some incredibly nice 1/4 ratchets I would recommend above even the snap on for the price, bonus is they don't have rubber grips to make your toolbox stink
Thanks for letting us in on one of the suppliers for snap-on.
I mean, its actually a snap on mechanism inside a Bacho tool. so flip it around. But yeah, look into Bahco tools if you can find them. I have a 1/2" and the ratchet mechanism is the same as well.
The bahco looks about 5x better at least to me(a non-mechanic). Real rubber grip instead of the bare metal snap on always seems to like. Plus it's thicker in the direction that actually takes load instead of round.
I guess anyone who can afford snap on uses it hard enough that the rubber won't last?
Just ordered..... thanks for the info
They make great cutting blades.
😮 cool looking ratchet
All good and all until you notice that comfort handle gets in the way in the limited swing spaces. Not to mention is if anyone payed attention to the beginning they would see the neck being over twice as wide and that will definitely harm you in tight places a ratchet like this would be used. Hey look! Comfort handle! Ignore everything and look at my rubber!
same reason i started buying Williams tools many years ago. When they break i can get parts from the snap on guy. Never broken a williams tool yet though.
well that throws a Spaniard in the works..
Yes, find more of these
I own 4 different Bahco socket sets and a few of their adjustable wrenches. My dad has two 3-foot long adjustable wrenches of theirs he's owned since the early 1960's. It's very well made stuff
In Sweden, Bacho was a premium brand before there was nothing better and older parts still cost money, their components are basically indestructible. For a while Bacho was worse when someone wanted to make money on the names when snap-on bought it was good again we will see if it will be as good as the older stuff.
Its $40 now. 25% inflation
And we have Brandon to thank for that.
Measure the black plate. Appears taller side by side.
I’ll stick with husky. Been using a ton for 10 yrs at least and not a single issue. Last time i looked a 1/4” replacement was $17.99.
Well to me its worth spending the $100 to have it go back into the economy (or lack thereof) by purchasing snap on made in America.
Snap on has a 3/8 drive that is the same size I love it love it I want one so terribly bad
I have used the Bahco for 20 years + and never breaked one!.
I have an old professional series from Canadian tire back in the day , exactly the same u it, and lifetime warranty. Identical unit.
proof that a lot of people just pay for "the brand"
I have a craftsman that came with my kit that cost like $4 to replace and works great.
My dad had snap-on Mac and craftsman. IVE ALWAYS USED THE CRAFTSMAN.
Snap on is made in the US tho thats were ur money goes. To support your own countrt
but it does not say snap on.... how will my friends know I'm a pro?????
Wished I would’ve known about this before I spent so much money on crapon, retired now, but dang I could’ve saved a lot 💰.
Thanks for the great info 👍
Remember.... If your tool breaks.. your using it wrong... No need for a warranty when you know what your doing and how to use the right tool for the job!
All these fakers in here saying they are not broke so they buy from the Truck because warranty is not believable! and if your do... your just another fool!
I work in a performance boat shop that builds, designs and repairs 30 - 60ft cigarette boats.... These include Boats like Gold Rush, MTI Racing boats, The Geico Racing boat and so on!
Anytime there is an event in Ontario, we see all the biggest boats running 1075 dual/ Triple engine setups and so on!! The man who died (Mike) in the Lake of the Ozarks world record run was my Boss's VERY good friend!
The Men here have INSANLY HIGH Mercury Engineering degrees and have passed INSANE Mercury Tests and exams in order to have the plaques and badges on the wall to signify and justify working on these Multi Million Dollar boats..
Long story short... The boys here make legit INSANE cash... Talking 100+k a year to repair big boy engines and they only work 6 months of the year (winter in ontario)
These boys have tool boxes that span 30+ ft dedicated to each of them in shops that are over 70 ft long...
None of them would be caught dead buying from the scam-on truck.. He pulls in once a month, does a round about and drives off...
These phonies who work in a mom and pop car shop who claim they make good money and still buy snap on.... AKA Make monthly payments on a hand tool.... lol Enjoy being broke and not being able to afford nice things for your kids because you dont know how and when to use a tool properly!
Again... Remember.... If your tool breaks.. your using it wrong... No need for a warranty when you know what your doing and know how to use the right tool for the job!
@@markbeyer8920 He's not saying "buy cheap tools", but there's a lot of middle ground between Snap-on and cheap garbage.
I'm 35. Only had 5-6 tools break on me from a true failure. The rest broke from abuse or improper use.
@@MrSubaru1387 I've got another 20 years on you and don't recall a tool ever failing randomly, only ever from abuse, missuse, or after many years of service, such that the tool "doesn't owe me anything".

Thnx just bought one.
I use my 1/4 snap on ratchet almost every day, I have the exact same one lol, ONLY thing is you can’t beat SNAP ONS warranty.
I've not bought snap on tools as I don't work where the tool truck comes by on a regular, what is their warranty?
@@Merkaba954 yeah I picked mine up for about $100 something and have got it replaced twice already for just the smallest things like a gouge and one of the teeth broke on the inside. But snap on is lifetime warranty on all of their products. It’s actually pretty nice I’d say the price is worth it for the quality and warranty. And plus you can say “I have snap-on tools”!
The only difference is quality of metal when it comes to rachets now days. Depending on the material used defines strength of tool
Snap-on tools are guaranteed for life.
$90 for the Milwaukee 1/4 inch drive socket set with ratchet, extensions, swivle and more sizes then I'd ever use with a 1/4 inch.
Or $100 for just 1/4 inch rachet from Snap On
