In the end, it was a set that no one was proud to put a trademark on. Beside the theory of time edge to 1990 and reunion of West and East Germany, a lot of cheap consumer products were build in East Germany (Russian side, with "Made in Germany" since 1973) in this time for West Europe - but...

yes in one word: see "MATRA VW 106" or "MATRA VW 113a/2" etc. (I post her only the links, so the thread is not flooded by the photos) MATRA produced tools for car companies (B2B) but not for end customers (no B2C) and is today somehow part of BOSCH.

I can't identify the set. Also some manufacturers made cheap, no-name versions for the mass market in department and hardware stores. (e.g. HAZET its ST "STandard" versions - with less material and not polished in simple boxes sometimes in different colors - but this one is not one of the cheap...

Hello everyone, a small 150ml (5.3 fl oz) dual valve "1 Spezial PS PESSOL" old version with soldered tin, brass, but without plastic from around the 60s (Pressol founded 1914 by Jakob Preßl = Pressl, Germany, the P&S sign stood for Pressl & sons, still exists today) and something I guess...

Hello everyone, a mix of some more classic rare finds of the past weeks: HAZET 2594 (1969-72) socket wrench for 12-point socket head screws This 150 mm long socket wrench was only used on right-hand drive VW 411 models to adjust the axial play of the steering spindle. Rare tool for rare cars...

Hello everyone, back in time before "electric" cordless drills... ;) HAZET 2135 hand drill (1950-1988) my current collection of HAZET hand drills as used in the large tool cabinet "101" from 1950 to 1979. The hand drill was available individually as "2135" from 1958 to 1988 in HAZET...

You don't need to ;) - this was only a small part of the scene - there was another big trolley jack beside and brake shoes (a little bit downhill to the left) - this was only to check and clean the brakes and exchange the brake cylinders after 10 years - no powerful or violent works... and no...

only a 46mm (~ 1.8") used at the rear axle of my old 1979 VW bus (with rear engine and rear wheel drive and up to 2.5t weight): at the restoration I danced on a 2m (~6.5ft) long pole to unscrew it after more than 30 years - cleaned now works much easier ;) a pencil sharpener in front

Hello, it is prior 1965 because of "Hazet" (little a) instead of later "HAZET". The 761 was available from 1952-1992. Its more universal as also or for old motorcycles... At old aircooled Volkswagen the handle would not fit due to engine sheeting for the airflow. It was part of general HAZET...

Hello silkman, (while dave455 has send his message I'm writing mine - somehow same results - only that I prefer double-hex sockets ;) ) the ratchet HAZET 916 SP is from 1976-84 - looks like already repaired but missing a screw and need a repair set ($40). The sockets looks nearly complete...

Hello everybody, in the last month, old HAZET tool finds have been rare... but at least some more advertising paraphernalia: and the smallest is probably the most valuable - the old pre-1965 pin with a wrench and "Hazet" inscription. The bottle opener is for the 100 year anniversary in...

Hello everyone, so far the company has not been mentioned here anywhere: In 1876 "Meister & Schlingensiepen" was founded in Cronenberg (Wuppertal, Germany). From 1948 the company also became a trading company. In 1989 the companies Meister Craft, Abraham Diedrichs and Pronto tools were merged...

Hello, everyone, I assume the previously (Apr 19, 2021) with size in inches in a circle is rather GEDORE (GEbrüderDOwidatREmscheid) or then DOWIDAT after the 2nd World War, because I've seen similar ones with DOWIDAT lettering in classifieds... :( But in the meantime an old original Hazet 140...

Curious - since the mid 1970s we had self-adjusting hydraulic valve lifter in most of our cars - Cadillac introduce them in the 1930s. So I use feeler gauge sets only for my simple classic aircooled VWs without these - but not at my much older Mercedes with it. On a trip with it and a little...
