When searching for the right brand...you always stumble across the fake stuff.
Cool, but fake
Some years ago I thought I found a Hazet...but it wasn`t
Got to use it anyways!
Made a trolley for my son...we used it as long as the feet had room, added a steering wheel and a safety-belt
Also made a Cal-blackplate and a bumpersticker....
He also had his Norwegian-made "Bug" pedalcar....
Nowadays he`s 18 and asks all the time to borrow my Ghia.... |

Just a regular Hazet - would make a cool drink stand.
The alure to folks in the North Americas with Hazet, especially Euro car guys, is that the tool company was very chummy with manufactures like VW, Porsche, Mercedes, BMW... Because of this, they made tools specific to those cars. Furthermore, Hazet was not imported as any kind of real competition here, so seeing them is limited.
On the other hand, in Europe, it was a big seller and producer. Making carts like this very common. So to see the cart here is cool and you may get a couple bucks out of it more so than you would in Germany. But the reality is I could buy 3 very nice clean, unrestored carts in Germany for 100-150 range each, ship them to me here in SoCal and sell them for 325-400 each? on a good day. Making a slight profit.

| Hello everyone. So brand new here. Just picked it up thinking ann nice drink stand perhaps, but seems it might be more to someone? Or not? Can someone help me identify. Sorry in advance about the quality of images. Unsure how to add photos. Have a look. https://youtu.be/jmuw66gi9Vs?si=aNoMKROk1z8iB2Xo |

Hello everyone,

| It it strange that there is a half a bottom divider in that picture above. |
I found this half devider in a lot of sketches as the patent of 1953, the instruction leaflet, the 1954 catalog drawings and probably only one blurry photo from a trade fair (page 228), in a VW brochure listet as VW 1169 with the Hazet catalog drawing... , these new (around 2000) advertising coffee can and metal sign (origin of these classic like drawing is currently unknown).
but no one have seen this in real life - all today known and photos can be found on the Internet of the 160 have a full size divider. The divider from column to column also gives the whole thing much more stability for heavy loads - a good improvement. I also asked these questions in a German forum with HAZET employees more than one year ago - without any result. Maybe just a rejected prototype/pre-production solution - or only some of them with this?!?
At mine the devider was missing - there were also no scratches or evidence of a half divider - but a full early and also rare divider fits perfect on both sides - that's why I restored my 160 with a full size divider - I can still cut it off if I get more info 
I continue to watch classifieds and forums on the topic... but these Hazet 160 in any condition are very rare. If you see one of these, let me know...

the Hazet 802 battery service box appeared a few years later in 1958.
The 161/162 as the successor to the 160 appeared already in 1955.
There was no set of the 160 or 500 A (a 160 with VW tool set) that includes something big, that requires a half divider.
In a 1954 Hazet catalog page 32 drawing you see the standard included tools of the set a (later order number 2140-5) 500 g hammer and (later 1950-4) rubber soft-faced hammer in the free space, on the side of the divider a grease can and the (later 2160) oil can... the same drawing as at the middle at the right side of the metal sign from around 2000 - only the lamp was a little bit modified/rotated.
regards,

I personally enjoy how Hazet posed him like those paintings of Christ gesturing with his hand down to left. Hazet will heal your car!

Look at the pics to the right of it. The bottom looks like a bucket or something is in there with the seat removed. Im sure rsbadura will know. Maybe a battery tester.

Hello everyone,
| notchboy wrote: |
| My question was going to be - what tools do you already have for this? |
some - not all as 781-5 hub puller and some sheet metal tools (I have other) - and some existing tools that i didn't immediately find for the photo today 
What I didn't know until today: above the 450 wrench pyramid behind the wheel cross there is still a place to hook in a 450 Remscheid holder with other open-end wrenches to take with you quickly.
But still in progress: CHROM VANADIUM inscription at the top is still missing, the lock is still being worked on (will be good and look like original), ...
and I need a shorter saw blade - the long one (new HAZET blade) did not fit 
and to be true to the main topic here:
regards,

That's a neat photo - practically a charming Mom-and-Pop-factory set-up.
I may look for a modern 1607 equivalent and try to modify; I have a few tools that would go better lengthways rather than tossed in the tub at bottom! I have to say, at first I was a bit embarassed to have spent the (very fair-price) money on mine, but I use the damn thing every day, and rolling it around is so much nicer than closing and hauling my big metal toolbox(es) from one task to another. If you have been thinking about tool storage and can spare the cash, I recommend them. Plus, spouse thinks it's cute.

Accessory 1607 - anyone have one?
I didn't flip through all 61 pages of this thread yet, but a random look indicates these were not common. 480 mm long-ways dividers. Also, setup D look useful! Any 1605 and 1606 out there?
Rather find some real ones than go tin snips and rattle-can blue paint route...

Yes. There was no switch on my black lamp. I added a generic lamp cable switch one when i put a new cable on it.
Any luck with a key for your TS ? |
