Hazet / Autopro screwdrivers

[winchman]

Just bought another Beach Tool box, its Branded Autopro as some are in the UK. This came with a set of Screwdrivers made by Hazet, Hazet logo on one side Autopro on the other?
Any one know anything about these?
I can Only assume Autopro had Hazet make them?

I have HAZET. These are the best screwdrivers.
I bought two HAZET Companions at garage sales, in one afternoon. They are identical except one is red. Interesting. I sold the blue Companion. I am keeping the red Companion because of the colour.

Yes they are the same, I had to explain them to winch boy as he had never seen tips like these.
I think I will be keeping them as they are nice and you can never have too many

Hollow ground tips? Those are a cut above regular screwdrivers!

"Autopro" is Australia’s oldest automotive aftermarket parts and accessories retailer.

And "Hazet" a German tool maker since 1868 - that build sometimes aftermarket tools with his own brands (yellow "popular" series or "SPC"), today subcompany "Vigor"... or simply build tools for other brands.

Hazet didn't and doesn't make its own screwdrivers to this day. Older ones were made by Witte or others (the ones you posted) and current ones are made by a Slovenian company named Oplast. Gedore screwdrivers are also made by this company.

This doesn't mean they aren't good screwdrivers ofcourse.
