Hello, Bill. I realize they both operated on 2 different continents. I was just curious about a possible family connection. Both men were in business from around the late 1800's into the early 1900's. Patent #547853 was granted to Johan Johanssen (designer of the BAHCO wrench), on Oct. 15, 1895, and Patent #540984 was granted to Henrich Hjorth on June 11th, 1895, for a breast drill.There was also a Patent #738444 issued to A W Hjorth for a plier type nut wrench (looks more like a pliers) Probably a coincidence, maybe mechanical genius ran in the family? just thought it would be fun to look into. Regards, Lou
