Hi,

Just joined. Started collecting BAHCO adjustable spanners a few months back. I had 5 of them from my dad who was an engineer and thought I should get a few more.

Good to hear from anyone in a similar situation

Welcome John!

Always happy to hear from a Bahco collector!

And we love photos here, so please post some of your collection...

Welcome to Tool Talk!
I have a few BAHCO wrenches myself.

Welcome from British Columbia Canada. When you have time show us some pics of your collection.

"The board"...I hope the images attach this is a bit weird for me..

Bought this group of old wrenches going cheap on EBay from Melbourne because I thought one was Bahco. It was not disclosed as such, and rust covered the marking. Fortunately I was right.
Its a late Series 1 (1892-1915) as it has parallel sides however shaft is thinner at the end, dates it as between 1910-1915,  The shaft hole is a bit uneven and has a different chamfer on each side so I think its un-original or a modified hole. The last of these had a shaft hole but it was punched. Cleaned up well with rust converter and steel wool. My oldest and yet cheapest to date...

Awesome stuff!

Here is my Bicephalous 70/71 (8 inch) - purchased recently from Sweden - made between 1926 to early 1950s

That double is great! Hard to find, I bet.

I like that No 3, it's a beauty, Never seen one before.

Some more from my collection for you to look at:
The smallest (Bacho No 2) is from  year 1903 - 1910. It has a tapered shaft
The middle is another Bacho No. 3 with no hole and is from the year 1910 -1915.

And here are two big ones...
A Bahco 86 from around 1950 (45 deg head) - 24 inch and the big one is a Bahco 87 (30") more modern (1984-1992) which has a 22.5 deg head. They are next to an old 4" Bahco 69 for size contrast

I'm jealous!

Welcome John!  I wish I were educated in Bahco enough to appreciate the details of your collection....but seems you've had an impact in making Papaw jealous.  Its fair to say Bahco will stick out if I run across one in the wild now.  Thanks for sharing, and again Welcome!

Great collection of stuff I have never seen. Thanks!
