    Hello everyone, pneumatic tools are still very common (only in Germany?) - also as impact wrenches. I know cordless tools keep getting better, more powerful and lighter. pneumatic advantages: - reduced size and weight, important if you work with it a lot - low costs because the technology is...

    Warranty use?

    I have a lot of good (old) tools that have never caused any trouble or become a warranty issue since decades. I also have some products with a boastful lifetime guarantee - but when asked about it after 40-50 years, that usually doesn't happen. Lifetime then meant e.g. only a car life of 5...

    Industrial desk lamp

    In the past, industrial lights had to deal with tremendous heat from hot 100W bulbs and good isolated because of 110/230V. Modern LED lamps are not so demanding, little hot, often only with low voltage around 12/24V - could be plastic. My old industrial light from German company "Rademacher"...

    Was there a time China made a decent hand tool?

    Sorry, I think it is foolish to dangerous to underestimate China today. They have built up a lot of know-how in the last decades or simply bought high tech production and robot companies. Many well-known companies have their know-how manufactured there more cheaply in modern plants, while their...

    HAZET 1980 adjustable metal saw (1954-1988) this version from 1965 to 1985 (was common in tool cabinets and tool boxes - hard to find today in complete good condition) It can be assumed that the saw was only produce for HAZET and that the handle was given the appropriate HAZET inscription...

    Lets see your Tool Carts/Service Carts

    I don't think so... or you are talking about these "pole" models in general ;) The first fixed pole model 160 was sold in 1954 (patents end of 1953). The last fixed pole model 162 N ended after 2000 and before 2010 in my old catalogs, was exchanged by the 162 C (looks like the 166 C) but also...

    Lets see your Tool Carts/Service Carts

    There have been a few small improvements over the decades since the beginning in 1954, but less so in quality and stability. So there were e.g. changes in locking (first integrated, then extra padlock, than only some as 166 TS with integrated lock) or handling the columns (first fixed, then...

    the classic German HAZET companion tool cart, just too cool!

    Please remember that such pressing tools are very, very expensive and are only replaced at production when they are worn out - but not all production tools were immediately replaced at the day of reunification. So take a look at the 1992 HAZET catalog page 45, and you will see a wrench with...

    the classic German HAZET companion tool cart, just too cool!

    Nice find! (y) your's has a round/oval sticker on top "MADE IN GERMANY", "DEUTSCHES WERKZEUG" (GERMAN TOOL) with a checkmark in German colors black/red/yellow - this you could find used by HAZET only at newer ones in 1992 (or better to say: not prior as in 1988)

    Hazet tool thread

    Hazet used this since 1954 with the adjustable wrench 180 - that switched to the 179 in 1963 (see online catalogues) I have no access to old Garrington catalogues or history details... till 1957 I see in online adds only a hole.

    Are these vintage wrenches worth keeping?

    All your "Hazet" ("HAZET" written since 1965, so your tools are 50s to early 60s) are very old tools in good condition. (y) The tools starting with 5xx are for old Volkswagen and are from 1950 to 1957 (later the numbers shifted to 25xx) So e.g. price for one Hazet 561 is ~ $ 100 and are...

    Found this Garant tool trolley whilst trawling the web looks like a Hazet Assistent

    the old HAZETs are not powdered ;) but yes: in most cases blue, if you need to hate this - or for some big companies green etc. Till today I did not know any rebrand of original HAZET tool carts - only some simpler & cheaper copy clones as this "Garant". These old style foldable tool carts are...

    Found this Garant tool trolley whilst trawling the web looks like a Hazet Assistent

    in the data the only interesting value for load capacity is 40 kg (88 lbs) at the floor tray. This floor pan should carry most of the weight with ease. But that's not much compared to the 300 kg (661 lbs) total load capacity (static) or 150 kg (331 lbs) (dynamic) of a HAZET 166N. regards,
