Hazet has done it again, combining form and function in the perfect German style. The tool is a bit over done for what it does but unlike the standard length version that many different manufactures do this is more specialized for those out of reach connectors. Unfortunately orientation of the connector is a huge deal when using this version. Since it’s longer you can run out of room to use it where the standard length is what the VW engineers probably designed the location of the connector for. If there is room to use the extended reach version it does fit in the palm of our hand intuitively. The machining on the key that mates with the connector is made to the exact specs with strong sharp features. The handle is the classic Hazet color and resists oil very well but with the type of material it can stain very slightly with use. With the nature of VW connectors if there is one that has been exposed to the elements and is stuck together I suggest spraying some silicone spray into it as much as possible. With the Hazet Tool I was able to lock in and pull and I ended up blowing the back of the connector out instead because it was seized together and I forgot to spray it with silicone beforehand. The craftsmanship of this tool is just one of the ones that make me happy to be using it for no particular reason it’s just a shame it won’t be my go to for space limitations. But Hazet does make a stars length version which shares all the pros and none of the cons of the extended. If your budget can only afford one stick to the standard length.

Hazet

Hazet was founded in Remscheid, Germany in 1868 by Hermann Zever. (The name came from a shortening of his first and last name.) The company has continued to grow in the last 150 years but still maintains its family ties - with the 4th and 5th generations of Herman Zerver still running the company. Hazet offers a complete range of hand tools, especially for the automotive, industrial, and aerospace sectors. Products include screwdrivers, wrenches, torque drivers, screwdriver bits, ratchets, and a wide array of specialty tools, especially for specific automotive brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, and MAN Truck & Bus.
