This week's tool score
 

I have a thing for Hazet, preferrably the older type. Managed to buy this last week on the local auction site. After a cleanup, turned out pretty nice.

Very cool!

Awesome! The only Hazet tool I own is the 911 head stud tool.

Was a time when those were the only tools one needed to do 99% of repairs on a car.

Very nice!

Nice one. I have a few Hazet tools, (and some Stahlwil), they are fantastic. Nice case as well.

Very cool!
I really like the tool box/case.

Beautiful!

That's great! I bought my overwhelming 148-piece tool kit for only $64,99 and I'm very pleased with it.

That would go in my living room. If I were the master of my house :-(

Glad you got GOOD Hazet tools.....everyone I ever ran across sucked at a level lower than Hrabor Freight .....just sayin'.

I love them. I have a growing collection.
The one thing they can't do to save their lives is screwdrivers. The burnished tips break all the time. I go to PB Swiss for that.

Can't be. Maybe yours said Hazmat on them. %^B

You take them into surgery, do you? :D

Really,really cool and as they say on Garage Journal (where you should also post this)
You suck. Beautiful tool set

I bought a new tool item recently. I try hard to not buy new tools - rather make do with what I've got.

But I saw this little Hazet item and even tho it fulfills a need I don't think I'll have -- and not sure exactly when I'd use it anyway or even WTF I'd use it for... I got it.

Hell of a collector's find! Good job!

WOW! You're ready to do brain surgery!

I could do probably 90% of the repairs a 356 would need with that set-up.

Some tools have female square drives, although I don't know how common that is today.
To reverse the drive direction, you use the other side of the tool.

I have a few old German ratchets and torque wrenches that use these.

Even hand files for those with a man card.

Love the long slender wrenches. Bought a set of MAC 10-19MM wrenches like that in '75 and I use them daily.

Beautiful! How come I have never heard of Hazet???

Have you heard of pelican parts? Or Porsches?

Yea me as well, Fantastic find!

Are those the ones with the smooth finish? I have a set. I like the grip of the Craftsman wrenches better.

Hazet is German, I believe they made the tools in Porsche tool kit. Not real quality but pricey for original period pieces.

Yep, more for collecting than using. Amazing what the original and complete tool kit my old 911S had is worth. Remember opening it after buying the car and thinking that Porsche sure went cheap on tool quality for these kits. I put together my own set of carry tools...

Hazet is a top German toolmaker, with quality, materials and technology equal to the best equivalent American tool brands.

I wouldn't judge quality by the basic, less expensive hand tools found in older German car tool kits.

Never said the commercial tools were poorly made. But the ones that were provided in the tool kits for Porsche looked like they were sand cast.

I sold mine and replaced them with craftsman items. About the only well respected tool was the spark plug wrench.

I'm thinking I could use that double male in a close-quarters type situation. Not the 1/4" end tho since I already have stuff for that.


Paul - I jst happened to see while ... uh.. tool gazing on the internet - they are commonly available (if uncommonly used or needed).

Anyway, I'm gonna let it sit on my desk for awhile before putting it in a tool chest - kinda like the way my dog like to just sit and look at his rawhide chews for a while, then nose it and play with it before eating.

Super nice Hazet score !!

My Hazet collection is slowly growing.

The Hazet set is rarely used these days. There really are only a few bolts that call for the Hazet set anymore.

I use my Stahlwille sets almost 99% of the time. Gedore for breaker bar and torque wrench. Then Snap-On for sockets, and last I use my treasured Metwrinch set on damaged bolts. The Metwrinch was a total tool score from Ebay.

we need a Stahlwille thread...

^ Not a bad idea. Any cool brand tool thread though, can't leave out the Harbor Freight guys.

That "woofter" baby blue looks silly IMO.

I prefer my Snapon tools, Just sayin ;)

No one ever accused the Germans of having any fashion sense:

Really though, I think it's a reaction to all of the crap tools that I had to use as a kid. We were expected to keep a ton of machinery running with a stupid tool roll consisting of some Craftsman screw drivers and worn out sockets and one crescent wrench. Eff that noise, I say! I don't want to be stuck ever again trying to remove the seats on a 1975 1-ton Chevy van with only some slip joint pliers !!
