Love and RelationshipsBahco Professional Tools
Bahco has manufactured saws for more than 130 years. The tools were marked with the "Fish & Hook"* brand as a symbol of the highest quality and today, all Bahco tools carry this mark. In addition to the Fish & Hook symbol, a number of Bahco Tools carry the ERGO logo. If you are looking for a new generation in pruners, loppers, hedge trimmers or saws, Bahco is your ergonomic choice. You will be amazed at how much more productive you can be with Bahco pruners. No saw cuts large branches better than a Bahco bow saw.
Made in Europe, Bahco tools are high-quality, and professional grade pruning tools. The history behind Bahco begins nearly 150 years ago, when Sandvik became the first modern specialty steel maker in Sweden. In the years following, Sandvik (which later became known as Bahco) produced specialty steels for demanding industrial applications. By the early 1980’s, Bahco was taking the lead in another important area: ergonomics.
Cutting
The bypass lopper is designed for cutting live wood. The cutting blade of this lopper slides past a counter blade in a scissor action, hence the name “bypass”. The pivot bolt, which is positioned off-center, well above the actual cutting point, doubles this slicing motion increasing the length of blade which is used for cutting. The hook shape is designed for larger cutting capacity.
Pruning
Use handy Bahco knives for precision grafting, pruning, and cutting flowers as well as cutting strings, plastics and much more. The pointed nose makes the saw well suited for use in tight spaces, and it is ideal for pruning. I use mine around the garden for pruning and light lopping, for rough cutting in DIY and also out and about as a real godsend whilst collecting firewood. This unique design feature creates a slicing motion during cutting, which greatly assists the pruning of live wood and spreads wear over a larger area of the blade for increased life. Bahco"s longest-reach professional bypass lopper for pruning and training all kinds of vines.

Professional Tools
Richard Packham, Marketingand Customer Services Manager of Bahco comments: "The prominent styling of the Pull Saw grabs the eye of the professional/DIY enthusiast, and highlights its high performance task-orientated benefits that make it a joy to use". The professional models have serrations near the bottom of the blade for gripping larger twigs and hard wood during cutting. For larger branch diameters and especially for professional users, who may make thousands of pruning cuts in one day, Bahco has developed leverage-assisted anvil loppers which require 40% less effort to provide the same cutting effect. As a matter of fact, a growing number of professional users now demand tools that meet the highest standards of performance and simultaneously reduce the risk of injury in the short- and long-term.

With headquarters in Sweden, the range includes handsaws, adjustable wrenches, spanners, sockets, screwdrivers, pliers and cutters, files, bandsaw blades, holesaws, hacksaws and a comprehensive selection of gardening tools so Bahco provides a tool to suit every pocket and every job.
