Bahco Adjustable Wrenches, Hand Saws, Pliers & Socket Sets
Bahco is a Swedish precision hand tool brand with a manufacturing heritage spanning more than 130 years. Built on the invention of the adjustable wrench by Bahco founder Johan Petter Johansson in 1892, the brand has since developed one of the world's most respected ranges of hand tools for professional tradespeople, maintenance engineers and industrial mechanics. The AIMS Industrial Bahco range covers adjustable wrenches across a comprehensive size range, hardpoint handsaws, pliers and cutting tools, and compact socket sets — all engineered to the exacting tolerances that Bahco's professional user base demands.
Bahco Adjustable Wrenches — Standard, Wide Jaw & Reversible Jaw
Bahco adjustable wrenches set the benchmark for jaw precision, handle ergonomics and durability in professional hand tools. The range covers standard chrome adjustable wrenches from 170mm through 380mm, wide jaw variants for larger fasteners and pipe fittings, the wide thin jaw model for accessing flat fasteners in restricted spaces, and the reversible jaw model for pulling as well as pushing. All feature Bahco's distinctive drop-forged chrome vanadium steel construction and spring-loaded floating jaw for smooth, precise adjustment.

- Bahco Wide Jaw Adjustable Wrench 200mm — BAH9031: 200mm wide jaw adjustable wrench; increased jaw opening for pipe fittings and hexagonal fasteners where a standard jaw wrench doesn't open wide enough
- Bahco Chrome Adjustable Wrench 380mm — BAH8074 C: Large-format 380mm chrome adjustable wrench for heavy-duty workshop, infrastructure and industrial maintenance applications; substantial torque capacity for large fasteners
- Bahco Adjustable Wrench with Reversible Jaw: Reversible jaw design allows torque to be applied in both directions without repositioning; suited to plumbing, pipework and fastener applications where access is constrained
- Bahco Adjustable Wrench Wide Thin Jaw 200mm — BAH93031T: Slim profile wide thin jaw for reaching fasteners in tight clearances on machinery, equipment panels and vehicles

People Also Ask — Bahco
Q: Who invented the adjustable wrench that Bahco is known for?
Bahco's adjustable wrench dates back to its invention by Bahco founder Johan Petter Johansson in 1892, and the brand has built more than 130 years of manufacturing heritage on that original design — it remains the workshop standard for shifters globally.
Q: What's the difference between Bahco's wide jaw and wide thin jaw adjustable wrenches?
The wide jaw wrench has an increased jaw opening for pipe fittings and hexagonal fasteners where a standard jaw wrench doesn't open wide enough. The wide thin jaw variant has the same increased opening but in a slimmer profile, letting it reach fasteners in tight clearances on machinery, equipment panels, and vehicles that the standard wide jaw can't access.
Q: What does the reversible jaw on a Bahco adjustable wrench do?
The reversible jaw design allows torque to be applied in both directions without repositioning the wrench on the fastener — suited to plumbing, pipework, and fastener applications where access is constrained and flipping the tool around isn't practical.
Q: What makes Bahco's hardpoint handsaw different from a standard handsaw?
Bahco's hardpoint handsaws use impulse-hardened teeth that hold their edge far longer than conventional saws, delivering fast, clean cuts in timber, MDF, plywood, and general construction materials with a longer blade life between replacements.
Q: What's the point of the Bahco Ergo range if the tools do the same job as standard Bahco tools?
The Bahco Ergo range adds ergonomic handle geometry on top of the same drop-forged chrome vanadium steel construction as the standard range, aimed at reducing hand fatigue during sustained daily use rather than changing the tool's core function.
