NEW BAHCO® Wrenches Deliver High Torque, Durability for Professional Electricians



Innovative Packaging Designed with Tool Distributors and Users in Mind

SCRANTON, Pa., Nov. 19, 2002 - BAHCO North America Inc. has introduced a new line of durable, high-torque wrench sets for professional electricians, trades people and industry that provides superior torque and lasting performance.

The new wrenches from BAHCO are available in three sets of combination box/open-end: a 10-piece set ranging from 1/4-inch to 13/16-inch; a 13-piece set ranging from 1/4-inch to one-inch; and a 16-piece set ranging from 1/4-inch to one and 1/4-inch - and a four-piece flare-nut set.

All combination wrenches feature BAHCO's exclusive SuperTorque® design that ensures the box end contacts fastener flats rather than corners for higher torque application and reduced damage to fastener corners. Uniform wall thickness on the box end eliminates weak spots while allowing greater accessibility in tight spots. At the open end, a continuous arc design distributes stress evenly over the entire radius, increasing the tool's strength and durability.

The wrenches' handles provide extra length for better reach and higher torque, and rounded edges for reduced hand stress and increased comfort. Nickel-chrome plating provides long-lasting corrosion and wear resistance, as well as a mirror-like finish.
