Does anyone have experience of these similar Bahco wrenches: Amazon.de

How would they compare?

I've seen these, but didn't feel that were particularly amazing. I have Bahco saws and "knock about" socket sets - but I don't rate their tools at top quality, just good quality (not Snap-On) quality. A lot of these ratchet wrenches are just branded out of a Chinese factory (not saying that Bahco is doing this themselves).

These Wera ones look quite comfortable. I'm very tempted to try some.

Snap-on purchased Bahco a couple of years ago.  According to Wikipedia, Bahco tools are made by in Europe.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap-on

Not sure where how Snap-on would position Blue Point and Bahco in terms of relative quality.

There is a special feature (metal plate with teeth) which separates the Joker from the Bahco.  Its hard to pick up on from the text, but this video makes it more apparent.

Very nice wrenches.

Considered these at one point:

Neat feature that each wrench covers 4 different metric sizes.
