Reply to "Hazet wrenches: the most expensive kind ever?"

Originally there were Hazel stamped ones and VW stamped ones from Germany ,

Empi just sent on of those to China  to copy ,

There was also a company making replica VW ones with VWs blessing  , but that was probably 20 plus years ago

I think I first started getting interested in them as the pre-EMPI reproductions were becoming scarce. You could still find them on The Samba and eBay for ~$200.  But I was still hoping one of my brothers would confess to having ours rat-holed somewhere. By the time I gave up, the EMPI ones were all that was available, other than the odd OEM one for $750-$1,000.

ps: it’s Hazet, not Hazel.
