About this product
The Bahco BHADJUST 3 ADJ3 Set of 3 Adjustable Wrenches is part of the renowned 80 Series and comprises three distinct sizes – 155mm, 205mm and 255mm – offering versatility for a range of tasks around the home. This set consists of three individual adjustable wrenches, identified as 8070, 8071 and 8072. Each wrench features a fixed square head style and is constructed from alloy steel with a polished finish, providing durability and resistance to wear.
Designed for comfort and ease of use, the handles are ergonomically shaped to ensure a secure grip. The wrenches incorporate a spring-loaded square section and tapered jaws, alongside a 16 degree head angle, which enhances access in tighter spaces where conventional tools might struggle. This design allows for greater manoeuvrability when working on nuts, bolts, and pipe fittings within confined areas.
This set offers three sizes to cover most common applications around the home. The wrenches are manufactured by Bahco in España and feature a grey colour. They represent a mid-range investment, offering robust construction and a lifetime warranty.
Consider that these tools are relatively substantial and may be bulkier to carry compared to a single adjustable spanner. These three wrenches form part of a comprehensive set designed for both professional and occasional users seeking reliable performance.

What is the head angle of these wrenches and how does it affect their use?
