I can’t remember exactly when I first saw a Hazet Assistent tool trolley. What I do remember is that it really caught my eye because of its shape, colours and the layout of the trays. I like design and products that, as well as being functional, place an emphasis on design.

Recently, an image of a Hazet tool trolley (see below) popped up on Pinterest, and it rekindled my curiosity and my desire to own one. I spent some time researching and browsing online marketplaces. Today, I can finally say that I own a Hazet Assistent.

Right, fair enough, but what’s so special about the Hazet Assistent tool trolley?

Did you know that Hazet developed the world’s first tool trolley? Yes, they invented it and called it the Assistent. It was undoubtedly a success that helped the HAZET brand achieve international recognition. What workshop doesn’t have at least one tool trolley?

This German company has always been innovative; it was also the first in Europe to introduce a nickel-chromium coating to protect the surface of hand tools.

After buying it second-hand and receiving it, I set about assembling it straight away and organising all my tools into its many compartments.

It’s also available new, as they’re still being sold:
