i have plenty of hazet tools but don't go berserk buying them to collect, they've mostly just come along or have been bought when i needed something.

i also have quite a lot of stahlwille tools so this nice ol' box was a welcome find last week in the scrap iron dumpster at the recycling centre. 8)

Nice score!

I have a few Stahlwille wrenches, I picked up a set from 10mm to 17mm for cheap a while back.

^^I searched for a while for one of those 1064's then found myself never using it. Does it work well?

Nice box find... It's always good finding stuff like that.

It has a magnet in it, and it sticks to the top engine mount bolt to stop it from spinning when you are removing the nut.

Spent some time looking for a box to fit in the bug behind the gas tank.

The nice part is with the hood open you can open it up over the tank and toward the rear without having to move the box.

yep, and still have space for a tent and lotsa other stuff under the hood.

i still have the cantilever box and various tools i bought from an apprentice who'd given up his trade in cornwall, south west UK in the mid 70's. no pictures of it in my 66 beetle on tour in france in the early 80's tho'.

todays find in emmaus second hand store. beer glass and little bus toy included for $9.50. 8)
