HAZET

HAZET stands like few other manufacturers or brands for quality tools. Founded in Remscheid, Germany, by blacksmith Hermann Zerver in 1868, the traditional company has enjoyed many successes and innovations that have led to its current reputation. The quality of HAZET tools is reflected in their indispensability to many professionals. The first factory was built in Remscheid-Wehringhausen and is still one of the most modern machine factories in Europe. The pipe wrench was one of HAZET’s first products and even appeared in the company logo. But it wasn’t until after World War II that HAZET's real success story began. By the mid-20th century, the first plant had grown large enough to open branches in Remscheid-Güldenwerth (1947) and Heinsberg (1965).

HAZET has successfully developed many reliable innovations, such as the first European nickel-chrome coating to protect the surfaces of hand tools. HAZET gained attention with the development of the "HAZET Assistant", the world's first mobile tool trolley. This hazardous materials workshop trolley remains popular and is still used today in many laboratories. Tool trolleys are available in various versions, with or without contents.

HAZET is a fifth-generation family business and, unlike competitors, develops all of its own development and production lines. HAZET continues to focus on innovation, winning the 2005 iF Design Award from Industrie Forum Design for the CLT torque wrench. Another unique advantage of the family business is the retention of its in-house product line. Today, HAZET manufactures more than 5,500 different tools under its own brand and sells them in over 100 countries worldwide.

The HAZET tool range is innovative and of the highest quality. It includes not only hand tools such as screwdrivers, wrenches, and cordless tools, but also special tools for the automotive, aviation, and industrial sectors. Highly qualified engineers at HAZET design and develop tools using cutting-edge software and CAD systems. Specialized R&D centers help HAZET to constantly monitor and improve its tools. This includes simulating tool applications in virtual environments or generating NC data for CNC machines to produce forms with 100% repeatable accuracy. This ensures consistently high quality and drives further innovation.

The HAZET impact wrench is a key product in the wide-ranging tool range and is often purchased for several reasons. The models are pneumatically powered, easy to use, and consistently top product test charts. They are also known for their robust performance, low vibration levels, and durable impact mechanisms. The company’s entire line of machines covers all types of machining processes—from simple hand tools to automated CNC machining centers. Final polishing and corrosion protection coatings are applied in environmentally friendly galvanic, chrome, and nickel plating systems.

The relatively higher prices of HAZET tools compared to competitors reflect the company’s high-quality standards, internal philosophy, and German production facilities. However, anyone who chooses HAZET tools values the workmanship and can count on long-lasting, high-quality equipment. A smart logistics system ensures reliable delivery of premium products throughout the European market. HAZET traditionally sells its products through national and international agents and trained business partners, providing fast shipping via its modern logistics system.

Not only internal experts but also external auditors, who have recognized the company and its products multiple times, confirm that HAZET’s quality is ensured in every aspect. In addition to tool quality, HAZET impresses customers and experts alike with its commitment to the environment. The manufacturer ensures that environmental aspects are considered during tool production. Strict criteria begin with the selection of raw materials and their suppliers. In this way, the company acts environmentally friendly and sustainably, benefiting both itself and the planet. At the same time, HAZET provides many jobs in the Düsseldorf region and plays an important role in the local economy.
