Maybe it is time to start a thread about the increasing number of overpriced Hazet tools for sale.
Case in point, this ad that lists a single flat 27mm spindle nut wrench for sale, with an asking price of $180, while an angled 27mm spindle nut wrench is listed for $150. I've purchased the set of these wrenches for $50, which seems to be the going rate.
And don't forget the stubby Phillips head screwdriver for $300, but it doesn't stop there, see for yourself.

Sure, some of these tools might be hard to find, but I'd hardly classify them as rare and in no way would they command such ridiculous prices. |

Do they come with a lifetime warranty? Why spend that without a lifetime warranty on the tool(s). Oh it could be "oh I have the Hazet version."

| Perhaps I should have just kept my complete round box kit and parted it out. |

Agree, slightly higher though. I've had some duplicate pairs I sold for $60-$75.

Good question about any Hazet warranty but I think the cost is because it's Hazet.
It's like paying more for Snap-On in the USA
