Bahco 2058/S26 Ratchet Socket Bit Set, 26 Pieces

Very portable kit, with a good selection of bits and sockets. Overall it's 90x100x32 mm, but this is no toy! The ratchet head's diameter is the tiniest I've seen, significantly smaller than the Bosch or Wera, and the bits actually fit up inside it, which makes this Bahco kit the tool of choice for confined access. Bits seem industrial in feel and finish. Robust. The hex extension is excellent, featuring both a mag and ball-bearing mechanism, with a smooth quality to releasing the bits. Love it. One gotcha - the insert that holds the bits is closed-cell foam, as opposed to blow-molded plastic or similar, so I can't imagine this lasting forever. Overall, impressed.

I have long craved one of these little beauty's & at last I got my sticky little paws on one .....I was not disappointed. I first clapped my avaricious eyes on this set of sockets & bits when a technition came to fix some equipment at work.I had been used to seeing him arrive with a very heavy tool kit in several hard bags on a set of sack trucks but this day he arrived with a small bag.....He said he was tired of carrying all that gear around & had had a rethink on his tool kit.He still had a large tool kit but that stayed in the car & he only brought it in when he could not fix the problem with the small kit he carried with him. That was very rarely since he only had need of a few tools from it of late & those could be fetched without the whole kit & kaboodle coming in.It had changed his life....no more looking for parking places outside the clients to dump off the tool kit & then finding a proper parking place ,no trudging up several flights of stairs hauling the sack trucks behind him because the building had no elevator.It had streamlined his workday & actually saved him money in parking fines for parking in awkward places to unload the kit & this little wonder had been part of the solution.I was inspired !!!......& for the first time in my life I had "TOOL ENVY"!!!!....I know you know what I mean.I had to get a set.!!! I did & I love it to death. PS>The rest of his tool kit solution :- A Leatherman mutitool (Ive forgotten which one as it paled into insignificance beside the Bacho) A Volt meter Some fancy looking wire strippers A small Laptop for diagnostic work A few spare parts that he regularly used & a couple of other ordinary tools & the Bacho (This was used to access the cabinets and remove the mechanical parts)

This is excellent value for money and very handy. I do a lot of travelling for work and due to its small size this set is ideal for throwing in a peli case with spare parts as it has the most common bits I need. The small handle means I can also access screws on equipment that I would not be able to reach without taking the whole system apart. The quality is also good, especially at this price. Granted, a couple of bits do get stuck in the handle (like the socket adapter) due to the ball bearing however its size means you can;t quite get enough grip to pull it out again. This is a very minor gripe and to be honest I would prefer the bits staying in rather than dropping somewhere inaccessible.

First off this set is VERY small - like the entire box is little bigger than a pack of 20 cigarettes, so it isn't for big tough jobs, but having said that, the ratchet spanner looks to be strong and is beautifully made! It's worth buying this set for the ratchet spanner alone! It's just that I would not recommend using it on jobs that need plenty of "grunt". I was recommended to buy this set by a gas fitter who came to install our new gas fire. He had to fit a cover screw on the fire in a very tight space and produced this set. I was immediately impressed as the space he had to get in was very tight indeed and no right-angled screwdriver would had fitted, but this ratchet spanner did, so I bought the set - and glad I did! I've used it on several awkward access jobs already with great success. The rest of the set is nothing overly exciting other than a well-made set of various commonly used 1/4 inch hex bits, a hex to square adapter, an extension bit holder and five metric spanner heads - for which you need the hex to square adapter. See the details in Amazon's description above for details of the hex bits included. Recommended for getting into those really tight spaces with a decent screwdriver.

These used to be good quality and would last ages. I have bought 2 recently and both ratchets have failed. Won’t be buying again unfortunately.

The item arrived in a timely manner and was well packed. The kit itself is designed for those awkward jobs that require a miniature socket set and this does the job very well indeed with one small problem that should have been picked up by the Bahco R&D Department. The bits fall out when working at severe angles or upside down as there is no retainer like it big brothers. Taking this aside the kit is well made for its purpose, it should not be used as a cheaper version of a socket set. It comes in a robust container that fits well in the tool bag pocket or alike. Most of the general bits are there too and the smaller sockets supplement the kit with any of the security 6mm bits fitting the ratchet and magnet holder. Come on Bahco get the mod sorted and update to make it a great kit.

Firstly as others mention this is a very small tool set so please check YouTube videos for a better idea of size. I already knew this and it was exactly what I was after. This is the first time I have bought Bahco tools and the quality is superb. Bits are very precisely formed and have stood up to a fair bit of abuse even when used with a 3/8" breaker bar (6mm hex bit on some stubborn bike pedals). Ratchet mechanism is simple and strong shows no sign of wear (I opened it to see how it worked) after several instances where I should have probably used a larger ratchet. Case is maybe not the best being ABS plastic with a plastic clip but hasn't let me down yet and the foam insert holds the bits steady so it doesn't rattle around which is good as I carry this with me on long cycles. I bought this as a cheap alternative to the Wera Tool Check and told myself I would get the Wera if this broke so I have been (slightly) trying to break it but it's held up surprisingly well. Provided you are aware of the size I would thoroughly recommend this set and will certainly be purchasing more tools from Bahco in the future.

Good little kit, for the little jobs.
