FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the 1DAAT system?
The 1DAAT (One Drawer At A Time) system prevents the trolley from tipping over by allowing only one drawer to be opened simultaneously, significantly enhancing user safety.
Are the foam inlays resistant to common workshop fluids?
Yes, the foam inlays are made from environmentally friendly foam that is resistant to Skydrol, petrol, water, and UV radiation, ensuring durability in automotive environments.
How do I identify if a tool is missing from the kit?
Each foam inlay is laser marked and uses a two-color system. If a tool is missing, a contrasting color will be visible in its place, aiding in quick identification and FOD prevention.
Can I add more tools or accessories to the trolley?
Yes, the trolley features perforated side panels, allowing for the attachment of various Bahco accessories (sold separately) to customize storage and functionality.
What is the construction material of the trolley case?
The trolley features a dual-walled steel case construction, designed to maintain drawer functionality even if the outer wall is damaged.
How should I clean the trolley and its tools?
Wipe the trolley with a damp cloth and mild detergent, drying thoroughly. Clean tools with a dry or slightly damp cloth, using oil for protection. Avoid abrasive cleaners on the trolley's powder coating.
Does the trolley come with wheels that can be locked?
Yes, the trolley is equipped with wheels featuring a dual braking system to securely lock it in place during use.
Troubleshooting
Drawer will not open or close smoothly.
Ensure the 1DAAT system is not preventing opening (only one drawer at a time). Check for obstructions within the drawer slides. Verify the trolley is on a level surface and brakes are not engaged when trying to open.
Trolley wheels are difficult to move.
Ensure the wheel brakes are fully disengaged. Check for debris or obstructions caught in the wheels. Lubricate wheel bearings if necessary.
Tools are missing from inlay sets.
Utilize the two-color foam and laser marking system to visually identify any gaps. Conduct a thorough check of the work area and other tool storage locations. Implement a strict tool accountability procedure.
Outer casing is damaged but drawers are stuck.
Despite the dual-walled construction, severe damage may affect drawer operation. Carefully inspect the affected area. If possible, gently try to realign any bent metal. For significant damage, contact Bahco support for potential repair options or replacement parts.
Rust spots appearing on trolley or tools.
Clean the affected areas thoroughly with a soft cloth. For minor rust, use a non-abrasive cleaner or fine steel wool, then apply a light coat of protective oil or wax to prevent recurrence. Ensure the trolley is stored in a dry environment.

The wheels feature a dual braking system; engage the brakes by pressing down on the levers to secure the trolley in place before opening drawers or performing work.

Care: To maintain the trolley's condition and longevity:
- Cleaning the Trolley: Wipe down the exterior and interior with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild detergent and water solution, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder coating.
- Cleaning the Tools: Clean tools regularly with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove grease and dirt. For corroded areas, use a fine steel wool or appropriate metal cleaner, followed by a light application of oil to prevent further rust.
- Foam Inlays: Vacuum or use a soft brush to remove dust and debris from the foam. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals that could degrade the foam material.
