Hazet Ratcheting combination wrenches?

[P Henry]

Anyone have experience with the Hazet ratcheting combination wrenches?

My understanding is that they are one of the Hazet tools not made in Germany. Is there any truth to this?

How do they compare to Snap-on or Gedore ratcheting combination wrenches, quality-wise? I have some of the Snap-ons in Imperial. They are nice, but am not crazy about the thin edges, nor the polished chrome for that matter.

probably made in Taiwan or China by Gearwrench (?)

If you would like an alternative to Snap On consider the Saltus!

I believe them to be German made and they are very very nice!

They are one of the few German firms to offer polished tools, but don't hold that against them!

I have a few, they are just ok.
Not German made that's for sure.

I can only compare them to Gedore and Facom ratcheting wrenches.
The Gedores have the best overal quality and the best finish.
Facoms are great but I don't like polished chrome.
I think the feel of the Hazets because they don't have that thin edge is the best.

I don't abuse my tools so I expect them to last me a lifetime.

They are made in Taiwan and as far as I heard there is only one manufacturer for these tools. But nevertheless the 606s are really great to use.
