Hello everyone, as a collector, I am specifically looking for this particular vintage compact 1/4" socket - a 12-point/triple-square/XZN size M8 for 12-point internal spline screws - dating back to the 1970s. Perhaps someone out there still has one of these lying around unused. I would be...

Hello everyone, HAZET 863 B (1970-1972) This very small ratchet with a 1/4" drive and bendet handle was used on classic VW type 4 engines for the hard-to-reach mechanical fuel pump... regards,

Hello, the next classic find: HAZET 916 (from 1979) ratchet The sliding button (round step pyramid) used to change direction with the thumb is somehow similar - albeit present on both sides at this ratchet - to that found on the early 916 models in the head produced between 1952 and 1969; it...

according to standards as ISO 3315 or DIN 3122 the torque is limited by a ratchet or socket with a drive size Nm torque 1/4" 62 Nm 3/8" 202 Nm 1/2" 512 Nm 3/4" 1412 Nm 1" 2515 Nm So with my weight and the length of standard extendable ratchets I'm over the edge of these...

Hello again, another rare old item: Hazet 2562 with its pin 2562 D (1950-1970) double socket wrench with 27x30 mm and matching 12 mm pivot pin for loosening and tightening the mounting bolts of the gearbox carrier and the steering wheel nut on old VW beetle and early bus models. It was part of...

Nice find anyway. But this 166N Assistent with black top is from 1982 and later till today - another era than this beetle ;) (Yes, the Assistent design and the patent date back to 1953, and there were predecessors from 1954 onwards)

For many collectors, it's not about new tools fresh from the store - it's often about rare historical tools that might match their own classic cars or their job history - or a collection of all variations of model development over as ratchets, for example the last century - also to learn more...

Is this what you looking for: www.ebay.de/itm/297764353824 ? (I'm not the owner of this offer) I didn't find CL-4590 in my lists and others as Samstag Sales, where does this information come from? regards,

The accessories are simply plugged into the column – they are not screwed in or fixed and can be quickly changed. I use them as needed in my work on my classic cars and projects. Not everyone had even one of them, and hardly anyone had the whole set. I've never seen a classified ad offering a...

I use a small, fine real hair brush – and in case I've applied too much paint, cotton swabs q-tips to wipe it away along the edges. For flat surfaces, I use self printable waterslide decals – or order decals from a cutting plotter. Good luck,

You could find some old HAZET catalogs as PDF at their website: https://www.hazet.de/en/company/history (scroll down to the "100 years of HAZET product history" and choose one of the years. I case of my HAZET 2500 WA the 1965 catalog and look at page 53: (details and photos of the listet tools...

Hello everyone, HAZET 2500 WA (this is from 1965-1966, previous versions since 1950 as e.g 500 WA). 25xx product numbers are for Volkswagen tools. WA stands for de:"Werkzeugausrüstung"/en:"tool equipment". The original set contained 45 tools for Volkswagen. This is just the beginning for...

HAZET 2161 (1958-1965) and an ÖL KERL twist (en: OIL GUY twist, ~1973-1990) for 150 ml of oil regards,

Perhaps it dates back to a time when, for example, small mechanical ignition contacts in the distributor had to be adjusted with great care (distance check by e.g. a 0.4mm feeler gauge). At my old cars there is a screw to adjust it - no need to bend it with pliers. But it can help keep the...
