Needed this to help with some Car Repairs. My big numb socket set just couldn’t fit into the small spaces. This is perfect. I keep it in the house instead of in the workshop as it’s really handy for so many house jobs. This doesn’t mean it isn’t a sturdy set. Feels really well manufactured and will more than likely outlast me. Great set. Perfect for all the big and small jobs.
I was impressed with this little 1/4 drive set, I have mainly snap-on gear but hate taking it on site jobs, this handy set is well made and seriously affordable, 5 sta
A nice kit with all the bits you could need for day to day use. Could be better if a handle was supplied as part of the kit but otherwise great.
I must admit I didn’t realise it was so small but that was my fault for not reading it properly!!
But it’s a good quality little set that I will use for those little jobs around the house.
This is my second Barco set in this size, this time I will make sure no borrows bits and forgets to give back, as they do what you need them to do and a get the job done
Had this for a while and is my go to tool. Any DIY around the house I tend to need it, fixing my bike, building furniture I use this.
Small and compact there are enough attachments which serve to fit what I need.
My only very slight criticism is the attachments don’t seem magnetic so they can fall out when used, I’m talking about the tiny bit ends like the flat head, Philips, star thing attachments.
I bought this set to compliment my 3/8 Bahco set as I needed some smaller size sockets for various bolts on my car and bike.
It’s a handy set especially with the little extension bar and the bit holder. The addition of some torx bits is a nice touch as I now have a spare t10 to use.Anyone who has a VAG car knows how much they love their torx bolts.
The case despite being plastic is sturdy enough and should last if treated right. Yes the ratchet is small, like others have said, but it’s perfectly adequate even for my large hands.
Highly recommended.
I already have a larger Bahco drive socket set and have been impressed with the quality. I’ve been on the lookout for a compact drive set for a while. I have a set, bought inexpensively many years ago, and over time I’ve found it very useful to the point where for anything other than where some serious grunt is required, its been my ‘go to’ kit for all those little jobs that seem to crop up frequently. However, my old set is sadly on its last legs. The ratchet action is dodgy and some of the sockets are well worn.
So, when it came to replacing it, this little Bahco set seemed ideal. It’s very compact, but well made. It’s the detail that impresses. For example, the tools are contained within a cut out that’s made of high density foam, rather than some cheaper sets that have blown moulded plastic that reminds you of the inside of a chocolate box, and very quickly cracks and deforms. The box itself is sturdy and closes with a reassuring ‘click’. The ratchet has a positive action and a padded, comfortable handle (as opposed to the machine turned knurling on my old set).
The sockets are hexagonal, as opposed to multi pointed and are a snug fit on the bolt heads heads.
I’m sure there are more expensive, ‘professional’ kits out there, but for what I need this represents and good balance of quality at an reasonable price point.
Really neat little socket set that comes in a great little case. The ratchet handle is slightly smaller than I was expecting, bit don’t think it will cause any issues – still easy to use and will give you enough leverage for all the jobs that a little kit like this is intended for.
The selection of bits is a bit off in books – would rather have more hex or pozidrive heads, but not the end of the world as I’ve got plenty of others in the toolbox (this kit comes with 6 Torx bits, 2 Phillips (ph2) bits, and 5 and 6mm hex bits).
The little mechanism on the ratchet handle for retaining the sockets is really neat, although could probably have done with a little note saying how it worked, as many people have noted being stumped on how to get the sockets to attach to start with! The extension bar will be useful too, and nicely designed to allow some slight misalignment if space constrains what angle you can have it at.
Overall great little set.
If you need a small socket in a tight space, this is probably as good as it gets. The biggest socket is 13mm, so you won’t be using this set on ‘normal’ jobs on the car etc. This set is small enough to carry somewhere on a motorbike, if you have the space for it. Push button to attach the sockets is secure in use and they won’t fit UNLESS you push the button.
Some people think they don’t fit at all due to the push button fixing and expect the sockets to just push on, but this is normal in their bigger sets as well. A well made set overall and really a small version of their bigger sets, so the quality is very good I find.
I highly recommend this set if you need small sockets (up to 13mm) for a restricted working space, or don’t need the leverage of their bigger sets. Don’t be fooled by the picture and the price though, this is a good SMALL sized set, NOT a full size one. Some people see the picture, see the price and assume it is a full sized set, it isn’t as the drive size is only 1/4″ not 3/8″ or 1/2″.
Update: Recently used this set to mount a 55″ TV on the wall of a friends house. The socket set proved ideal for not only putting the wall bracket together, but also for setting the forward leaning viewing angle plus horizontal level of the TV, thanks too the small size of the tool and the restricted space behind the TV and inside the wall bracket. A bigger socket tool like the 3/8″ version would have struggled to do the same job as easily.
My main gripe (missed because of the lack of product description and my bad eyesight) are that although the set is small and perfectly formed it excluded some items which probably should have been included as if you are purchasing a small tool kit like this it likely to be carried to fix small emergencies while away. Some of the omissions I found strange namely included that there are no flat head screwdriver bits where as there are 2 Philips screwdriver bits and that there is only a 5&6mm hex bit where as 4mm will often be required. The biggest socket in the set is 13mm although the 7cm ratchet handle probably couldn’t crank anything bigger.
Note that small Bahco hand tools such as this are now made in China although you wouldn’t know as the quality is great so don’t buy under the impression that you are buying Swedish.
There is actually enough space in the set to add a 4mm hex and two flat head screwdriver bits (as per my modifications in the photo).
I ordered this with the intention of replacing a car wing as i dont own socket set. Firstly the feel it of the ratchet feels well built got some good weight to it and the ratchet mechanism feels like a quality product that wont fall apart on the first use.
I read a few people mention the “wobbly end bit” this was designed on purpose!!!!! To give you some play and a bit of forgiveness when reaching bolts the actual link is not gonna move or fall off its sturdy.
My biggest gripe is the poorly designed box getting the extension bar is a pain you need to use a small screw driver to get it even after cutting some foam out it is still a chore to get out. The box lid wants to close when its on a table so you have to hold the lid with one finger to stop it closing on you, hold the base with your thumb the use your other had to pull a bit out. Its not the end of the world but it is more involved than taking a bit out should be.
All in all i like it just the box sucks.
If you are look for a small light compact strong purpose 1/4 set that will not take up to much room this could be the one for you , it is for me , hope this helps you .
