Bahco splitting axe

Bahco is a legendary hand tool brand with its roots in Sweden, founded by Johan Petter Johansson in 1886. The brand is famously associated with the invention of the adjustable wrench and the 'fish and hook' logo, which represents the high-quality Swedish steel used in their saw blades and tools. For over a century, Bahco established itself as a leader in ergonomic tool design.

While the brand originated in Sweden and maintains a strong European heritage, its ownership has transitioned over the decades to large multinational conglomerates. Since 1999, Bahco has been part of SNA Europe, a division of the American giant Snap-on Incorporated. Today, manufacturing for Bahco products is spread across the world, including facilities in Sweden, France, Spain, Portugal, and various other international locations to serve a global market.
