    Who owns Hazet and Stahlwille?

    Some tool as early torque wrenches at Hazet were from Stahlwille (Manoskop) - since Hazet decide to build its own in the mid 1970s. They're close by (so probably with employees who work at both) and have similar customers. And sometimes similar products. I like both and others - bot focused at...

    Not for the simple vehicle owner to only exchange the spark plugs. When you take an engine apart, you leave the spark plugs in to keep dirt out. The 761 is part of tool cabinets such as the HAZET 100 - and can be used with air-cooled engines if the air flow engine sheeting is off. Or is never...

    At least from 1933 you can find extra sets for American measurements in catalogues as "900A" (instead of metric "900"). (but also before tools in inch dimensions) Not only for the export of tools - but also for imported vehicles with us in Europe.

    But it is still repairable by removing a spring washer. And the HP (High Performance) version has 90 teeth (acting angle only 4°) - nice tool. Whether it's really that durable for 400 Nm is another topic - but more than sufficient for most cases.

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

    Hello everyone, I found some rare decoration add-on for my collection: a HAZET seal or plaque for HAZET Assistent 161, 162 and probably 166 TS circa 1976. Visible in that old 1977 HAZET Assistent flyer (I circled them in yellow) with references to the 1976 main catalog: (title: "the big...

    Hazet tool thread

    Hello, your photos are not of good quality to see details - the smaller socket sizes should also look somewhat similar with imprints and knurling and in same height. I think a lot of them did not fit, but you could identify these yourself. I marked the parts that fit in green and the ones that...

    nice find of the 1930s (y) but the ratchet of your 240a set is from another German brand: Gedore. (Gebrüder Dowidat Remscheid = brothers "Dowidat" from city Remscheid) Not sure if the sockets are original Hazet? - some of these looks different to mine... my incomplete restored set with Hazet...

    What’s your holy grail tool?

    Hello everyone, I have a small collection of old HAZET tools including rare tool carts (as the first 1954 Assistent 160 and others). Certainly not complete yet - some of them will certainly still be found in the future... But to complete this ratchet set (1933-2000) my holy grail tool is the...

    the 2769 as Mercedes tool appears in catalogues at around 1976 till at least 2010 (not included anymore in 2018). Since 1979 Hazet start using the "West Germany"... till around 1990. So it's unclear which is newer with or without "W" (West).

    916 = 1/2" ratchet series, HP = High Performance series with 90 gear teeth and only 4° steps and in this case with 400 Nm K = German "kurz" = short version, common for tight engine bays etc. I expect the general 916 HP parts are used in the short version too as...
