Das Werkzeug – the tool

History

The story of Hazet

HAZET’s story began in 1868, when Hermann Zerver opened a small forge in Remscheid, the capital of German toolmaking. The workshop grew quickly, his sons took over in 1912, and exports began in 1923. In 1943 bombing almost completely destroyed the factory, but the family rebuilt it: by the early 1950s HAZET was exhibiting in Geneva, Amsterdam, Hanover, Brussels and Stockholm.

The fifties produced legends: the tool box that fits the VW Beetle’s spare wheel became a bestseller and the “Assistent” tool trolley a cult item. The company has kept growing under family management, now in its fifth generation. Its innovations – from the slimmer 600N combination wrenches and the composite “sandwich” ratchet to the SmartCase sets – have won many awards, including the iF Design Award, and since 1996 it has been an official partner of Porsche Motorsport.
