Hazet Tools

volksnick · « **on:** November 18, 2012, 07:58:08 PM »

I went to an estate sale today and was about to buy a spark plug wrench when I looked back into the box of tools and saw a funny looking one. I picked it up and couldn't figure out the handle. Then I saw "Hazet 764 German" with D.B.G.M. written underneath it. I thought I'd look it up online and see what it was worth.

The $4 I paid was apparently a steal!

Does anyone else have Hazet tools or know which ones are the more desired ones? I've always seen them as unobtainably expensive, but this one fell in my lap.

Not sure about desirable but I bought a 13mm hazet wrench at estate sale for 50 cents and sold it pretty quick at bap for 5 bucks

I have some Hazet Tools and used a lot of them. Show me and I might can tell you what it is for

I have a big and a little light and wiper switch retainer nut driver by Hazet. They've come in real handy.
I actually bought late model Hazet tools for H2o cars and vanagons. The oil filter socket is the best. Works on tons of filters.

I have some tools you may know what they are for.
I wish I could make it to the meeting tomorrow. But it is not looking like it. If you were to go and I could make I would have brought them. I believe they're front end and rear swing arm or IRS tools.

When I became a loom fixer (Sulzer Weaving Machine Techician was my "proper" job title) back in 1983, Synthetic Industries had an employee purchase program for tools. I passed up the opportunity to buy one of those calapsable Hazet tool caddies because I could get a bigger box from Sears for less money. I have kicked myself a thousand times for that decision . . . a thousand and one times now.

When we ordered hand wrenches through Sulzer (a Swiss company) we didn't know what brand we would end up getting . Sometimes they would be Hazet, somtimes they were Belzer and sometimes they would be Gedore. When I ordered mine I got Gedore. They had a nice offset on the boxed end and were tough. A few dissapeared over the years and I sold the rest when I got out of fixing. Wish I had bought a bunch more and kept them. Craftsman tools are nice, but I would take a set of old Gerrman made wreches over them any day.

VW had a lot of tools from "Zenlenda"(?) also. I have a few of those. I paid $129.00 for the Hazet cart and all the tools . Everybody had one at Southland. You could disassemble a bug with that cart. Air tools where not allowed at that time.

I have had them, and have them... and love them.

I also managed to purchase the very LAST old style collapsible Hazet cart in the country back in the '90s from Zelenda Automotive. I had one of the larger carts, but sold it a year or so ago. Kept the little assistent cart.... It's awesome. Not practical for use at work, doesn't hold enough. Comes in handy in the garage at home, though.

Oh, and Hazet wrenches are the very best I have ever used. Better than any of the Snap On ones I own, and 1/3 the price.
