    Hazet tool thread

    Thank you gigamel (y) I got the information, that Hazet bought the torque wrench up to the in-house development around 1976 (successors like the 6121 CT). From whom, not known/told. Because Stahlwille not only had the 72/6, but also other torque range models such as 72/12 etc. and still has the...

    I'm still not sure, if this is the HAZET 2590 - I see on my torque wrench only a "DP" (Deutsches Patent?), "Mp" (Manoskop?), "MADE IN GERMANY", "No 72/6" and old unit "cmkp" (600 cmkp corresponds to approx. 60 Nm) but the Stahlwille 72/6 version had at the front a big STAHLWILLE inscription...

    Hello everyone, I'm looking for a vintage tool HAZET 2590 torque wrench of the old shape from around 1958 to 1976. The catalog pictures are quite small and not as detailed. Does the real 2590 have any HAZET sign or the order# 2590 somewhere? Or how do I recognize the original? The...

    German pattern combination/ linesman pliers ( Kombizange)

    I knew these "Kombizange" pliers from the standard toolboxes of classic cars since the '50s - VW, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, ... (but could be found in Hazet catalogs starting from 1938 as #130) sometimes in cars without branding of the plier manufacturer - used to grip and cut off wires...

    if it is really a crack, yes. But for me it looks only like a scratch from the housing also to the center gear/drive - by something ugly like a scriber. So for a self made scratch, no.

    The condition isn't that bad after all - you could leave it that way. It's also more useful, because in perfect condition you're worry about any scratch while handling it in the garage. In some such cases, however, I decide to repaint. The outside is enough here. Cover the Hazet sign with tape...

    Hello, nice find this HAZET 884 AWZ set :thumbup: 1963 will have a little "a" "Hazet" sign, not the 1965 "HAZET" in upper case. So this set seem to be from 1965 to 1972 but before 1976 with other handles. See catalogues at HAZET home page https://www.hazet.de/de/katalog-historie And the price...
