‘Tool users’ safety will remain our top priority,’ says Bahco

Bahco professional hand tools and equipment have always been  synonymous with safety. It’s a sound reputation maintained with pride by their design and production engineers for more than130 years.

“The safety of anyone using our tools will always be our top priority,” says Alan Rankin, who leads Bahco’s industrial tools team in the UK and Ireland.

“We provide safety solutions by developing tools which make work safer and less demanding. In addition, our scientific ergonomic design and manufacturing techniques protect users’ hands from painful and disruptive muscle strain or injury.”

Insulated electrical tools

All Bahco insulated screwdrivers, pliers and other tools designed for working on electrical equipment are rigorously tested at 10,000V to ensure they are safe to use when working live at up to 1000V, fully meeting IEC 60900.   Many of Bahco’s electrical tools are also VDE certified, offering additional assurance.

Non sparking tools

Bahco Non-Sparking (NS) tools are designed for use in potentially explosive environments, where conventional steel tools might create sparks in the presence of combustible or easily ignitable vapours, liquids and dust.

Manufactured in aluminum-bronze or copper-beryllium, Bahco NS tools include hammers, pliers, screwdrivers and wrenches, as well as other striking and construction tools.

Tool management and storage

Bahco’s professional tool storage and management trolleys bring order to any workplace and help engineers and technicians guard against the threat of foreign object debris and the damage it can cause.  The range now includes stainless steel trolleys and a wide assortment  of stainless steel tools.

Using Bahco’s Configurator software customers choose not only the size and colour of trolley they require but also the number of drawers and how inlays should be profiled for each tool group.

Tools for working at height

Tools falling or being dropped from height remains one of the biggest causes of injury, even fatalities, within many industries.

Bahco’s Tools@Height range includes lanyards, pouches and belts, hang bags and back packs ideal for use in any location and weather.   Tools with integrated, heavy duty loops and other attachments enable secure tethering to lanyards and tool belts.
