Our mission is to provide the most valued productivity solutions in the world.

In the day-to-day life of a professional craftsman, there are three vital sources of energy: expertise, professional pride and the right tools. It is absolutely essential that the tools always work, even when the job is difficult, bordering on impossible.

Bahco professional tools are used in a wide range of trades the world over. This is our contribution to creating productivity solutions through efficiency, safety and job satisfaction.

Bahco professional hand tools are designed and manufactured by SNA Europe , a newly founded enterprise, yet with over 150 years of heritage; strong expertise in innovating and manufacturing the most advanced tools and building long-term partnerships with distributors.

What does ergonomics involve?

Ergonomics is the science of optimising the interplay between people and the environment according to the principle "adapting the work to the person". It is necessary to take into account each person's natural preconditions, as well as his or her limitations, when designing tools, working methods and workplaces.

Bahco Ergo on a scientific basis

Each time you grip a tool, you are putting 42 different muscles to work. By subjecting yourself to the strain this causes on a daily basis, you risk overexertion, pain or numbness in parts of the hand by using incorrectly designed tools. The constant repetition of some actions causes strain even if they do not feel particularly strenuous at the time.

The design of ergonomic tools within Bahco brand is based on a scientifically recognised 11-point programme. This programme covers facts and experiences gathered from users, ergonomists, industrial designers, research and development departments as well as extensive testing and trials together with end-users of our tools.

This method is unique within the tool industry. And to ensure that you can always see which tools have been developed according to this programme, each one is marked with the ERGO® symbol.
