Well, really don´t know. The company doesn´t make gloves by itself, so doesn´t SnapOn, Gedore and the usual suspects I suppose 
. Also there were no clues inside of the manufacturer except from the order-number label.
But they fit and are nice to wear.

Those look great! Can't wait for more new stuff from Hazet!
Finally I bought Elora toolbox.
It is NOS with part number 205.
With very smooth opening trays.
And some other stuff
Nice toolbox! Pretty hard to get in America though.
Here are some new arrivals to my tools...
Hazet 863-1
and this transmission dipstick... I'm not sure who manufactures them but it is made in Germany and the quality is much better than those cheap ones on eBay.

Hazet 863-1
Very nice. How do you like it?

I love it... it's SMOOTH! Smoothest ratchet I've ever owned, or used.
I'm not too sure how it racks up against a Snap On Dual 80, since they are known to be the smoothest and strongest ratchets.
It is the biggest 1/4 ratchet I've came across, but I don't mind... the handle is shorter than most 1/4's. I don't know if I'll have issues with it's size... I doubt it, but you never know. Time will tell, maybe someone who owns one can comment if size has been an issue.

Well, I used to own a Snap on T72. I sold it, for some reason I just didn't care for it.
I think I'd like the fine tooth Hazet better. Heck, I like my regular 863P more than the Snap on. It's certainly smoother.

I'm told the Snap On T72's jump teeth, which to me is unacceptable for a ratchet. I'd probably never own one...
Have you had issues with space with your 863P yet?
tweedlestan
Well-known member
My T72 never skipped, but I didn't own it long. Maybe a couple of months. But you're right, that's unacceptable. I can ****** my knuckles without my ratchet helping me.
And no, I haven't had any issues at all with the 863P. I think part of the reason is its short length, and also I have a fair amount of room to work on my full size trucks, a K2500 and an E150. The 863P is by far my favorite 1/4 ratchet.
I have a Matco 88 tooth ratchet in 1/4 drive just in case I need fine teeth. I greatly prefer that one to the Snap on.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I also used to have a TR72 with the quick release. I sold it VERY quickly because it kept dropping sockets. I hated that thing.

You should consider getting a 863-1 or 863F, I'm sure the 863F is just as good as the 863-1. Let's see how it performs in the long run...
This is my first Hazet ratchet... so far the Hazet 600N's have proved themselves and are great.
How's strength on the 863P? Have you owned it long?
Nocturnal-G
Well-known member
Then you'll love the 863-1... impossible to drop a socket, recessed selector. The ball detent system on the Hazet ratchets is definitely quality. Wonder what the design on the anvil is for? It's like a star shape where the detent goes...
Sure it serves a purpose...
tweedlestan
Well-known member
Yeah, I had the 863F and liked it, but I traded it for another 863P. The 863-1 looks like it would be better balanced, plus I like the looks of it better. But you're right, the 863F was very smooth and should have the same mechanism as the 863-1.
The 863P seems plenty strong. I've had it for a year or so and it performs well.
I'm looking to upgrade my metric wrenches soon, and I'm getting a 600N set. My eventual budget will determine how big of a set I get. I also want a complete set of Hazet's standard ratchets, I've got an 8816P (3/8 drive) on its way from Germany as I type.
I plan to buy a 190L cantilever toolbox too, $108 from Amazon seems like a great deal.
My wallet is going to hurt before too long!

So far I'm impressed with Hazet... I'm actually impressed with all the German tools I own.
One of the things that sold me on the Hazet wrenches was the fact they don't use a bender like Snap On does... That speaks volumes for a company. I don't mind paying for quality. Cutting corners to save on cost I guess? I think someone mentioned they used to forge the offset. I prefer quality over brand name. Sure not too many people know what Hazet is, but I don't care. It works and it works well. I'm sure if Hazet decided to put trucks in America, all the tool trucks would have some major competition.

I know exactly what you mean. Snap on charges a premium price and then some for those wrenches, and they're just not as well made as Hazet or Stahlwille.
Same with their screwdrivers. Try Hazet screwdrivers and you'll regard Snap on as junk.
There's a reason that Matco screwdrivers are made in Germany. The tips are hard as a rock, quite unlike Snap on.I once twisted a brand new Snap on screwdriver tip on a bronze screw. I didn't even know that was possible.

A new discounted 600N set just comes out on monday and you can already buy it here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hazet-600SP...956?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cd53ac79c
SPC is just the designation for the special price, other than that it's the regular wrenches.
Wow, Monte, I hadn't the foggiest idea such brands existed at all...a big thank you! Koch-Boher sehen besonders gut aus
And I guess the Dormer set I had been offered was a tad too pricey at 60 euro for 19 bits in "plain" HSS...

Monte, in the past, your mentioned WEZAG GmbH; for crimping tools and in particular the Serie CS 10 Vario. The primary benefit; I can see, is the many dies that they sell and they are easily changed for different crimping applications. Do you have any experience; with their tools and Serie CS 10 Vario, in particular? These are included in the Volkswagen tools that comes with the dealership supplied tool kits; like the VAS1978/a and I have contacted Wezag, here in the USA. I am still playing phone tag with them but hope to talk to their USA reps on tues. I was curios what you thought of the company and their products, their crimping systems? Anyone else; that is willing to, please chime in as well!
From what I can tell; Wezag, does allot of private labeling and these can be purchased under many other brand names, such as: Molex, Tyco, Garant, etc.
http://www.wezag.de/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=18&Itemid=1
Their tool kits; look particularly yummy! I am sure; they are very expensive!

Where does Lux/NWS pliers rank compared to Knipex ?

@ upgrading
The NWS Quattro Grip and the Knipex Cobra are top notch water pump pliers, but I prefer definitely the NWS.
The teeth of the NWS are sharper and gives more grip, and the Quattro grip is more robust than the cobra.
Once for me the cobra was the mass of all things, until I was holding a NWS in my hands !

+1Are the Footprint punches made in the UK? Does that top pair of Cobras say 500?! Are you working on lorries with these huge tools?
I assume the footprint punches are made in the UK, but I think they are old stock as it doesn't look like they still make them.
The Cobras say 560. I work on farm equipment and machinery. Nothing is too big.
Jaws open 4.5 inches with handles closed-
They have an even bigger bite-
And they make the standard 10" cobras look like a child's toy.
are they ex-MoD and is there others available?
Nope, just the one up for sale on ebay. I had been keeping an eye out for a sensibly priced one for a long time.
Waterpump pliers and pipe wrenches are my addiction !
Nice Collection.
How do you like the XL Cobras and how do they compare to your other big pipe wrenches?
The big 3” and 4” inch pipe wrenches have the advantage of the larger lever and they are better for the heavy duty jobs.
The fast push-button is more comfortable and the big point for the Knipex.
The best is to have both.

Waterpump pliers and pipe wrenches are my addiction !
looks like you don't have an NWS Gripper in that impressive collection, eh?
seen here alongside a Knipex 85 01 250 DumbGrip for easy size comparison:
it's quite sturdy but not as useful as a Knipex Cobra of the same size.
but it is way more useful than that DumbGrip one!
(if someone want to exchange an almost new Knipex DumbGrip 250 for a small Reca-branded Raptor with green handles, let me know...

81241 München
they offer Knipex, Stahlwille, Hazet, PB swiss, Wera, Garant and others.
one of the Garage buddies owns a Hazet 4656-1 which seems to be a Wezag CK 100. The quality seems to be very good, the dies have a profile which you can see in the large pic here: http://www.hazet.de/produkte/online...einelektronik/elektronik-zange/4000896127351/ So the connectors are positioned exactly in the die. Knipex don´t have that for example. Parallel crimping pliers like you mentioned and pictured below are slightly better than the regular pliers with one pivot point because they press 100% parallel/linear. Like you mentioned Wezag is the OEM of many "manufacturers" tools and they have a large offering and innovative tools so i would say Wezag might be better than other manufacturers or is at least as good as Knipex etc.

I am impressed by the excellent processing, there is no lateral play between the cross-bakes. In this point NWS do an absolutely first-class job, just as well at the Quattro grip models.
If you shake the cobra it rattles like a tambourine, the NWS make the sound of silence.
