Bahco 400mm Sliding Combination Square with Metric/Imperial Markings, 90°/45° Angles

Works. Needed metric for our shop.

I chose to purchase a Bahco made Combo Square based on my previous experiences with other Bahco tools and their quality. Everything else I own from Bahco is made somewhere in Europe (Finland, Sweden, Germany) or the Americas (Argentina), and definitely is well worth the extra price for the quality. Upon receiving this I immediately saw "Made in China" on the label and the lack of quality supported that. -No longer is the thumb nut or the scribe head made from brass like shown in the picture, but instead aluminum. There seems to be no problem with the manufacturing here, just you can see cost cutting measures. -Measured up against my machinist square, I see about 1/32nd of an inch (.8mm) over 4" (100mm) out-of-squareness. Granted, this is a bit of an unfair measure pitting a machinist square vs a combo square, but if not positioned incorrectly that equals 1/8th of an inch (3.2mm) over the full length of the combo square. -The ruler has many sharp edges and burrs left on the locking channel which cause intermittent and uneven sliding of the square over the ruler. This may also lead to the out-of-squareness. -The ruler also has a bit of an S-bend to it from end to end if you sight down the length of the ruler. In all, I am not satisfied with the quality of this Bahco tool, especially considering the price of over $30. Save your money and buy any other cheap Chinese made combination square from wherever you please unless you absolutely need 400mm.

Très bonne qualité.

Ottima squadra. Precisa, robusta, bolla che funziona. 90 gradi e 45 sono precisi, la riga è marchiata Bahco, i numeri incisi e combacianti alla perfezione con la mia storica riga da disegno tecnico di 80 cm. Insomma, tutto a posto, nel buon nome del produttore, "anche" se è fabbricata in Cina. Quindi realizzata bene, in modo molto accurato. Dopo aver letto varie recensioni mi aspettavo di tutto, pensavo arrivasse con qualche difetto ma ho dovuto ricredermi: perfetta per quello che deve fare, un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Già dall'imballo in scatola di cartone (e non un semplice sacchetto di plastica "a bolle") si capiva che era tutto a posto: scatola in perfetto stato, così come l'attrezzo al suo interno. Consigliata senza riserve

Ich war ob der teils negativen Rezensionen angespannt, als ich das Teil geliefert bekommen habe... Völlig zu unrecht - wie sich schnell herausstellte: Der Winkel kam bei mir gut justiert angeliefert. Ich mußte also nichts nacharbeiten, feilen oder anpassen wie bei einigen anderen Rezensenten. Ich war auch von der allgemeinen Verarbeitung überrascht: Das robuste Stahl-Lineal selbst hat eine Materialstärke von gut 2mm. Die Beschriftung ist geätzt und gut geschwärzt. Der Anschlagskörper ist aus Aluminium wobei die Anlegeseiten sauber plangefräßt und 5mm dick sind. Sogar die kleine Reißnadel macht einen guten Eindruck und ist sicher verstaut. Kurz und gut... ich bin zufrieden und freue mich über den günstigen, hochwertigen Artikel.

Top product , good price

Bacho är Bacho. Geniden kvalité. Gillar. Verkligen något att ha i lådan.
