[Gray0689]

Sounds good mark thank you

Let me investigate........

I'd just like to thank Bahco (and Mark^^^^) for sorting me out with a new jaw/knurl kit for my Bahco 31 adjustable.
I only needed the spring out of it but they sent me the kit, so I fitted the spring and screw/roller today and it works perfectly! :25:

Mine is the older one without the hole in the handle (pre 1990) according to Wrenches with

By the way Mark, the jaw in the new kit does NOT fit the older adjustable. It won't slide in but I wouldn't have used it anyway. 😀

So a big 'SHOUT OUT' to Bahco, probably the best adjustable's in the world!!! :hurray:

Did you manage to find anything out mark?

If anyones interested, i've got two bahco 9031's in front of me now. One is an older one with made in sweden inscribed on it and the other is a newer one with no mention of where it has been made on it, so i presume its a spanish made one.

There is no difference between the two. Both appear to be identical and both have around 0.7-0.8mm of "jaw wobble" 🙂

I might have to try one of these irega's as i would like to have an adjuastable with less jaw wobble.

I've got both, Impressed at first with irega spanner but jaws have now started jaw wobble. The irega does however open slightly wider which is handy in some situations.

Never heard of Teng.

Never heard of Teng.

Teng make some seriously good tools. They do a lot of mechanics tools & they are top gear.

Yeah they do mate

Got some pliers other week, not bad

 

[Keefy]

So they're kind of like Snap-On then? I never consider checking suppliers of mechanic's tools to be honest, maybe I'll take a nose.

these are good imo IREGA 8" (200mm) Super Wide 39mm Ergo Adjustable Wrench | eBay

 

[LegionellaSlave]

I got a Teng socket set. Lifetime guarantee.

Don't know if it's as good as Snap-on though, hardly use it.

Does feel quality though :yes:

I have the 8" bacho feels like its opening when I put lots of pressure on it

Is it a modern one.

If so, get an older one of ebay

My Bahcos have slipped twice in recent weeks resulting in deep cuts in two different fingers. Very nippy!
sick of constantly having to adjust them each time I try to use them. Next cut and it is goodnight Vienna for them.
