Bahco Adjustables poor quality!

[kay-jay]

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.

Nowt to worry about mike. You're over the worst of it

The first cut is the deepest..........

Forget adjustable wrenches, get a set of Vb wrenches from Nerrad Tools. Got mine from Corgi Direct, cannot slip, will not slip.

Is it a modern one.

If so, get an older one of ebay

Ye only had about 6 months

Apparently the new ones arent so good.

That said, no adjustable spanner is infallible. My old Bhacos will still slip occasionally.

I just got told off on Saturday for using my Bahco adjustables!
Guy is a workshop engineer & said he's surprised all plumbers use adjustables as he would only ever use proper sized open spanners.

My father had his first adjustable spanner confiscated by his mentor during his apprenticeship.

The bloke said "every nut has a correctly sized spanner, learn them all by sight" and took it.

Dad tells this story quite often! I don't think dad was impressed. Had to buy a full set of imperial spanners which took him months. Fat lot of good they are these days!!

Doesn't surprise me best.
I gave up using the bahco's on tap heads.
Just have a ring spanner in the bag now.
