Aircooled VW South Africa

Here is a Hazet cabinet made especially for the VW mechanics' set and other tools. They also made similar cabinets that weren't VW specific:

Hazet also made a shadow board for VW special tools:

I have a Teng socket set of 5 through 13. Have had it for 20 years. Very good quality...I go nowhere without it. Also have a "normal" socket set...bought it 30 years ago...no name brand. The 17 and 19 sockets as well as ratchet, have been replaced with Gedore but for you run of the mill DIY guy it served me well.
@ Fig and Sean, love your tools

New Assistents anyone?

Wow fig you once again come through on this appreciate it a lot. Next time I must just message you and off I go.
No I think the idea is to give everyone access to all this info
The one I got is the Hazet 804 normal run of the mill toolbox and managed to pick up a couple of Spanners as well that were lying around on the shelves.
Who knows one day I might stumble on some of these special Vw ones
Thank you for sharing !!!

Wow, some of those kits are lovely. Wouldnt mind having some on my wall.
But I've got plenty of my own stuff and shouldnt be greedy.

i found this at a local pawnshop yesterday. R 39

What a nice find. Sure if you do not have a kit somebody will buy it from you. I offer R 49.00 hehe

Good score Charles! Pawn shops are a great source for tools, but you need to spend a lot of time trawling through rubbish to find the gold.
