Bacho Markings Anomily

[73138ed]

Hi Folks, ihave noticed recently that there are Bacho adjustables on ebay that arereasonably priced and listed as new, but look like they have initials or a numberinscribed into them. This is situated on the left hand side under the laser inscribed measurement scale. Theletters/number do not look particularly neat. Can anyone shed any light ?

Kind regards

Bahcos are top stuff IMHO, so if its cheap and new then its either nicked or fake

Can you post the item number we are unfortunately always having guys on here having stuff nicked out of their vans somebody on here might recognise it you never know

Yes - I have the 10" wide jaw and that is superb !

I can see some little marks mate but it's not entirely clear on my phone I would be willing to bet though if you buy that then The card behind it Will be missing implying that it's secondhand or secondhand and nicked. If I'm honest the head of it looks a bit battered but that could just be poor casting

There is a clearer view on this set of three 151899036588

Not sure mate. I'm looking at an identical set in my van and they don't have it. Maybe call bahco. It's a good deal if they're kosher

The number is 9029, it is stamped, not etched or engraved. That spanner is model no 9029 (see the attached cardboard label).

I think it's legit.

I have emailed Bacho HQ and are awaiting their reply.

The more the better - should get some response - I am starting to wonder if they have been marked up as seconds and escaped from the factory !

they're not that cheap they were selling these for £15,00 in bumcenter a while ago and they're not noted for being cheap
