Hazet

Design details other brands leave out

What they actually do

Professional hand tools and workshop equipment, sold on design rather than on price.

The two examples here

The drain tray has an internal scale in liters and gallons and a molded, anti-slip rest for the filter. The inflator gauge has a trigger and a bleed button on one handle, a 400 mm (15.7 in) hose and a rubber shroud around the dial.

Why those details are the argument

Both turn a routine job into a slightly better one: you can measure what came out of the engine, and you can set a tire with one hand. Neither is visible in a photograph, and both are the reason the tools cost more.

What they also publish

A tolerance on the gauge — 0.3 bar — which is wider than a digital instrument and stated, where most inflator guns say nothing at all.

    • Publishes a tolerance — 0.3 bar — which is honest rather than flattering
    • Fill and bleed from one hand, which is how a tire is actually set
    • Needs a compressed air supply — it is not a standalone gauge

    Best for: A garage with an air line, where filling and checking happen in the same motion.
