Bahco S330 Socket Set 34 Piece 1/4 and 3/8 Square Drive

First off 2 things to clarify about this socket set and Bahco who make it: 1: this is a 3/8 socket set. It contains a 3/8 ratchet and a good selection of 3/8 sockets. The Amazon description is a little confusing as it also refers to ‘1/4 square drive....’. The set contains a small selection (13) of flat/philips/hex bits to go on a 1/4 driver, hence the Amazon reference to is being a 1/4 inch as-well as a 3/8. So it’s basically a full 3/8 socket set with a few 1/4 bits thrown in too. 2. It is made by Bahco. For decades Bahco was a Swedish company making high quality tools. It was taken over by SNA (parent of Snap-On) and most (if not all) manufacturing was moved out of Sweden. This socket set is made in Taiwan ( l bought this set in February 2021 - from other reviews it seems that more recent sets are made in China). In my experience Bahco quality is now mid market rather than high end, but in fairness to Bahco the prices are now mid market too. I am an amateur mechanic and l generally fix my own cars and l bought this set for that purpose. I have a separate 1/2 inch set and a separate 1/4 inch set but l find that 3/8 is the most useful socket size for most car jobs and this is the size l prefer to use. I bought this set several months ago and have used it a lot. My verdict is that l like this set a lot and l recommend it. He is why: 1: the ratchet and sockets are good quality. They fit on fasteners well with no slippage or play. The ratchet is good and with 72 teeth is good for all adjustments, including small ones. 2: the sockets are hex (6 sides) rather than bi-hex (12 sides). I prefer this as there is less chance of rounding off fasteners. 3: the socket selection is comprehensive, starting at 10mm and going to 22mm. It skips 21mm but includes a 21mm spark plug socket so that can also be used as your 21mm socket. It also has a 16mm spark plug socket (as well as a separate 16mm socket so a little duplication there). As mentioned above, there is also a1/4 driver and 13 various bits for that. There are 2 extension bars too. 4: the set comes in a good sturdy box that l expect will last. There is a lot of snobbery when it comes to tools and reading some forums the impression you can get is that you need to spend a lot of money on professional standard socket sets. I disagree. This set in my opinion is perfectly fine for an amateur mechanic. It is certainly not at the standard of Hazet, Stahlwille, or Snap-On, but it sells for a fraction of their prices. Which leads me to value - for what you pay you get a very good 3/8 socket set and the value is outstanding. I recommend this set. Good tools for a fair price. Excellent value. This is the longest review l have ever written so apologies if it rambles a bit but l hope it is useful to you when considering which socket set to buy.

Great set, now have 1/8, 3/8 and 1/2” sets all from Bahco. This set excellent value for money.

Lovely socket set bought to replace my original one..... lost in my possessions somewhere amongst my belongings

Quality product from a branded name in the tools world. Excellent value.

Really good price point. Top class quality and comes in a nice case. Can’t complain.

As a lift engineer I use hand and power tools every day and they have to be reliable and easy to use. I have used 1/2" drive sockets for years but decided to go for a more compact 3/8" drive. I bought this Bahco set after oddly buying some garden shears and being really pleased with the build quality. The socket set I received is in a different and sturdier looking case - not that I use it. The ratchet is just the right length, The item I received has a semi grippy two tone grey handle, and a very fine and positive ratchet mechanism. The reverse lever is easily switched and I cannot fault it. Again, the sockets are solid and fit well. They fit the flats of the bolt heads. The screw driver and bits is a bonus although not needed. All in all a very good quality set at an excellent fraction of Snap On or similar price.

Perfect for my purposes. Seem very well made. Great price.

V good

très content de mon achat - bon rapport qualité prix

Zwar mittlerweile wohl in Argentinien gefertigt, aber von sehr hoher Qualität zum kaum nachvollziehbaren Preis. Allein die Ratsche ist schon 35 Euro wert, den Rest gibt es gratis dazu. Sinnvolle Zusammenstellung, insbesondere der Adapter für 1/4 Zoll schickt die meist zu kleinen 1/4 Zoll Ratschen in den Ruhestand. Habe mich für eine andere Zusammenstellung entschieden, auch von Bahco, da mittlerweile die günstigen Sätze meist der gleiche, günstige umgelabelte Standard ist ohne echte Differenzierung. Dieses Set ist anders und hochqualitativ, daher eine klare Empfehlung.

バイク整備用に購入しました。まだオイル交換及びそれに伴うカウルの取り外し、各箇所の増し締めに使った程度で、あまり使い込んでいませんがそれを前提にレビューします。 ケース：頑丈かつ持ち運び・格納ともに邪魔にならないコンパクトさです。ただ、やはりバイクツーリングに携行するにはちょっと大きすぎるかなと思います。大容量シートバッグ等使うなら入れる所に困らないレベルでは有ります。各パーツの格納箇所へのホールドは良好。多少振り回した程度では脱落しないので、中でごちゃごちゃになる心配はないと思います。（使い込んだ時に緩くなるかは未知数ですが） 各工具：造りがしっかりしていて、がたつき等ありません。かなりの力で使用しても結合部はがっちり噛んでいる感触です。ボルトとの噛合も良好です。ラチェットハンドルはほとんど遊び（というか、ぶっちゃけがたですよね）がなく、作業効率的にも地味にはかどります。ただし、耐久力は使い込んでみないと一概には言えないかな。メーカー的に大丈夫とは思いますが。 その他：オイル等付かないように最新の注意を払ったので、今のところハンドル部に汚れ等付着していませんが、オイル付着時に染みこむかすんなり取れるかは未知数です。自分では試したくない（笑） 総評：素人がDIYで使用する分には、オーバースペックとも言える、一生使えるレベルの品質だと思います。ホムセンの安物を使い潰して頻繁に買い換えるよりは思い切ってこれを買うのが良い選択かなと思います。

Excelente calidad
