Hazet toolkit for sale

Apr 11, 2004 13 Replies

I'll stick with my ornamental repop that I got for an Xmas gift from the wife. The originals are just too steep for me. I mean starting bid of $550 for something that IS going to just sit in your spare. I'd be afraid to even open my hood at a show for fear somebody would walk off with it.

Hi,



Just wanted to let you know that I have a original Hazet tool kit (12 piece complete) for sale. I've posted it on eBay to avoid any problems.



You can find it at:

How does ebay solve all your problems?

Let's do our part and not bid on it.

If I was a wealthy fellow, I would snap that up, toss it into my garage, and start using the tools. I'm that kind of guy. Likely, those tools will go into a museum. I've never seen a complete set like that. Impressive. Was there anything else special about these tools? I'm assuming they are just stainless steel steels, with the Hazet name stamped in.

I think I would invest that $500 into a set of Snap-On's myself now that I think about it. :-)

There is nothing particularly special about hazet tools (AFIK) other than they were a rather fashionable and useful accessory back in the early days with the small roll-up tool bag as a cheaper variation. remember $500 is the current bid with rnm. I've seen these things go for well over a grand which for another few hundred you could have yourself a freshly built fully functional judson (but then if you can afford a grand on a fashion accessory - you probably already have a spare judson laying around just for emergencies). -DB

LOL He should have posted here that he has it for sale and giving one of us a chance to purchase instead of just saying I put this expensive tool set on Ebag. Bill Berckman

What a beautiful toolkit! I wish I had it, or the means to buy it. I think you will get a very fine price for it. I have seen several, but none that look as good as yours. Good luck.

Wow. If I had money to burn, I would get that in a hurry. That is a beautiful tool kit, probably worth well over 500 bucks. Course, if I got it, I'd use 'em! They wouldn't just sit on a shelf.

:) Sorry about the eBay bit - didn't realise that would be unpopular. The only reason I have this posted on eBay rather than just posting it here is that I don't really know what I've got.

I'm not a Beetle owner and this tool kit is just hanging around in my garage gathering dust. Probably needs to be appreciated by someone with a bit more knowledge than me :) I've gone for eBay as hopefully an auction will protect me from people "taking it off my hands for 10 bucks" if you get my drift.

I could use some advise on how much these kits are worth (I've set a reserve price to protect it) - I've no wish to rip off others or be ripped off.

Thanks for the comments and any advice.

Cheers,

Richard

Damn right! But then I am sure you would clean your tools very carefully before putting them away. John Muir was very passionate about respecting thy tools. I can recall several spots in his books where he brings it up. ;-)
