I think it's made for the new 610N wrenches.
As far as I can tell just from looking at a picture, it looks the same as your blue one.

Been cleaning up my latest Hazet purchase today - a used 625 ring spanner / box end wrench in 25 x 27 mm.
Probably won’t use the 25 very much (but nice to have). Use 27 a fair bit.
These big wrenches seem to be great value used. They don’t hold their value as well as the small ones, but if you buy wisely there’s seldom any wear. I paid just ten British pounds for this one ($13ish at present). A lot of wrench for £10!

Most of my large spanners have been bought the same way, getting good used ones from various quality makers, especially if they are imperial or Whitworth as there is almost no demand for them and a lot of supply. Lack of off corner engagement in the box end doesn't really matter either in the bigger sizes.
I did buy several new larger sizes Hazet spanners a few years ago when Amazon was clearing a lot of stuff for £4 something a pop, offset ring and double open ends.
Car boot sales (not that there is any currently) have been the best source and you get to really look at condition but the very large sizes are not found often.

Hi Dave
Nice score on the 625! Not that common to find a 625, more likely to find a 630 or 450 at flea markets or similar events. The bigger wrenches are indeed mostly cheaper cause they’re not the ones that fit the ‘golden’ vw/porsche toolboxes.
Made some pictures to compare the 625 and 630 wrenches. Much bigger offset on the 630’s compared to the 625. Wrenches are both in a strange 19/17 metric combination.

Found this little wrench when going thru Dad’s box today.
That's pretty cool - 8mm and 13mm on the same wrench?

Thanks!
I really like the 625’s, so tend to pick them up when I see them (at reasonable price), but the 630 has a place too! In an ideal world (and very much in the GJ tradition) I would have both!!
The 17/19 is a bit odd, but quite common (do DIN specify size pairings I wonder?) but I understand the reasoning. If you use DIN standard sizes you will use both those, but seldom the 16/18, so perhaps makes more sense than 16/17 and 18/19?

No, fairly sure it’s not made by Hazet, as I’ve seen the same grease gun from several other makers.
I think it might be German made though. The German companies tend to be a little more choosy in who they sub out their stuff to, compared to some, and I seem to recall (on the only occasion I saw one of those grease guns) it was made in Germany!
Quite a nice thing actually. I wouldn’t mind one myself!
I think I have both
. Will have a look at it, the 630 I have for sure multiple complete sets, 625 is not that likely. I bought almost all of my Hazet at reasonable prices but most some time ago. Nowedays it's very hard to find some and no flea markets cause of the corona-crisis so...I understand the 16 and 18mm thing but we're used to the opposite.

That's cool. I thought it was an oiler as there is no visible way to push grease to the top. There must be an internal spring in the bottom. If you could post a few more photos (internals if not full) that would be appreciated.

Actually, there is no spring. You push the bottom plate with a screwdriver, purge the air out of the grease, and vacum now makes it "self-feed" when pushing the button/knob. And it works flawlessly.

Google won't tell me the advantage of that offset. What does it do for you?

Glad I checked this thread. I've been using the old Hazets for modifications in the past. Now that I know people like them, I sold the remainders on Ebay for way more than I think they were worth. From now on I'll mod Craftsmans.

Where do you recommend purchasing new Hazet tools from? I'm in MA USA.
I want one of HAZET 2505-2 to use.

Think Jenz Putzier is an option https://www.jensputzier.com/about-us/imprint, he's on this forum to.

Nice score Wout. I have a Sandvik scraper like yours in pic #4 with replaceable carbide tips. The Hazet looks like some kind of different tip is loaded. The torx and prybar are nice finds too... not to mention that box. I could go on...

Yes, some great finds there Wout.
I must admit I do like that scraper. I think it probably is a Sandvik rebrand (Sandvik 620?) but I would certainly have picked that up if the price was right!
That big ring spanner doesn’t seem to have had much use!

I use KC Tool, they have been fantastic for orders. Very good communication, fair prices, fast shipping.

Thanks 2oolhound & Dave. Was really happy with it, there are some tools with it that I didn't have already. The scraper is new and maybe a rebrand so not really an addition to my vintage hazet collection but still very handy. Already had a lot of Hazet prybars but the big one is also new to me. The smaller one is a very handy tool to center 2 holes when assembling things that has to be aligned.
Checked my spare sockets and could fill the box a bit. Still need a lot of sockets and don't understand the contents completely cause the paper indicates more sockets then there are holes in the insert. Some sockets like the 24 doesn't fit well the plastic. The hole is a bit to narrow so the socket sits to tight to get out easily.

Wow, great work!
I’m by no means an expert on matters Hazet (certainly not in the “Wout” league
) but I think the smallest socket in that set is stored in the recess just above where you have it now.I THINK I’ve seen an image of a set with that layout , and it had the smallest socket together with a screwdriver bit in that recess.
As for the tray not fitting, could it be that the tray is not original to the box. If it’s the right size, but doesn’t fit the sockets, could there maybe be an inch size set that it fits?
Edit - found a picture that shows what I meant!

Dave, I do have a lot of Hazet but don’t consider myself as an expert 
. You’re right about the smallest socket and screwdriver socket cause I have such a box to. Had another look at my spare sockets and a rather ratty box I have. Was able to get the newest and ratty box 90% filled. Had to use some small a and one inch socket that came very close to 30mm. Pretty sure the insert is original to the box but the sockets changed a tiny bit over the years. Probably half a mm in diameter or so but it makes the difference between to tight fit or not imo.

Hi gang,
Was hoping you all could provide a bit of advice and suggestions as I’m looking to acquire some quality German tools. This is all for home use, just looking to upgrade from some random sets I have. I’m located in the US.
My search started off by wanting a fairly complete 1/4 set in six point. I’ve got a ratchet that I’m ok with, but not totally in love with (SK 1/4 in DT120). It does seem like with Hazet to get a set of 1/4 in sockets you more or less need to buy a ‘kit’ (not sure what they’re called?).
Then it seems like most of the kits come with their older ratchets... so that lead me to the move on from the 853 when I saw the 953HP for basically the same money. Then the 992 and finally the 163-138/77. I do know these are quite different, and I wasn’t originally looking for a 1/2 set - but compared to the stand alone 1/4 sets they seem like a stronger value.
Edit - I think it actually started by considering the 854.

Not sure why but Hazet and other German tool companies make it difficult to buy their standard sockets. You have to buy a set that generally includes tools you don't want or buy everything individually. It's like they don't want our money.
To buy a set of Hazet 3/8" I had to order sockets from three different websites in two different countries.
Hazet sockets are great though.
Sorry, no advice, just a small rant.

I don’t think that’s anything to do with Hazet.
It sounds more like companies choosing not to stock some items. Was it something like a 9 mm socket? There’s not much demand for those, but I understand why you would want a complete set!
Have you tried TBS Aachen? I tend to get most of my German tools from there now. They’re competitive on price and they seem to have most Hazet (but not all, I grant you).

I never owned any Hazet 1/4 drive till I got a combined 1/4 and 1/2 set on a deal a few years back.
It’s probably my favourite now.
The fit of the parts is superb and they lock together beautifully rigidly. The overall quality is excellent, and it’s just nice to use.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, they also offer a huge variety of ratchets, which I now find myself slowly acquiring...!
It’s not an addiction, I can stop whenever I want...
So I did spend some time in the catalog and could not find simple socket sets for 1/4 inch. Off memory I think 3/8 could get sets of the long, swivel and maybe SAE but again didn’t see a set for metric.
I also did not see sets in Stahlwille, but didn’t spend the same amount of time in their catalog.
Seems to maybe be a German thing? Being from the US it seems nearly every company has many different offerings or socket sets without other pieces (ratchets, bits, and so on).
Dave455

I know what you mean, just a set of sockets only.
I don’t think that’s something the German companies have traditionally offered, although Stahlwille have in recent years.
I think the assumption would be that you could always make up that ‘set’ by buying the pieces individually.
You have to remember that in Europe, there is not generally a huge saving to be made by buying a set, which is another way of saying they don’t load the prices of individual parts.
Industrial customers would traditionally have just ordered what they needed, and don’t want to pay a premium for that.

It would just be simpler if they were available as a set on a rail (as well as individually). Deeps, bit sockets, swivel sockets, spanners etc are sold in sets but not standard sockets. Find it a bit odd.
