Adulting will at one point require you to use a hand tool or two. This is not exactly common territory so you may not know what to look for and which brand to get it in if you are based in the UK then this article is for you.

   5. Bahco Tool Company

Bahco is one of the leading manufacturers in the world. The company hails from Europe ad has been in existence since the late 1800s. The company prides itself on innovation and most of its tools are own inventions. We have them to thank for the adjustable pipe wrench and bi-metal hacksaw among many more.
