I bought a non running 73' Beetle the other day. I got it running today thanks to some people on here. Anyway after cleaning it out today I found a Hazet VW tool set under the driver's seat. I was trying to find some information on these. I have not found much. Are they rare?
Thanks, Matt |

It depends which one on whether it is "rare". Rare is an overused word, in my opinion. They are all uncommon.
Since it's a '73, is it the square toolbox?
If yes, here are some threads

| No it's the round shaped one. I guess I will consider it a nice added bonus to the good deal I got on the car. :D |

Which is probably a good plan. Pics would be nice though. |

Here a couple pictures. It's not in the best of shape. The pliers are missing.

| Good find. It goes in the spare tire of a pre-66 beetle. If you'd like to sell it let me know, I'd love it for my '62. |

I might be interested in selling it. I would rather see someone put it use in there show car then collect dust in my garage. I have no idea what it's worth.
This site has some good information on them.

| Interesting to think about the mindset of the automaker-including tools to allow one to work on and maintain their own car. Would any automaker include anything like that today? Not a chance beyond a jack and tire-iron. |

I'd say your good deal just got a great deal better. :D |

The pliers you're missing are the easy ones to find.
It's the channel locks that I'd like to have. |

| I have boxes of parts to go through that came with the car. I'm hoping they turn up. |
