Vintage factory-original Hazet 760 premium adjustable slip-joint universal water pump pliers. This premium vintage hand tool is identified as an authentic, numbers-matching survival piece sourced directly from a classic post-war BMW 502 V8 trunk emergency tool kit.
Forged from high-grade matte-finished Chrom-Vanadium alloy steel in Germany, this rare variant features the uninsulated bare steel handle configuration stylized with deep serrated slip-resistant cross-hatching ridges along both grip shanks. The main tool beam displays the iconic debossed cursive "Hazet" hallmark inside its original rectangular block border, bookended by "CHROM" and "VANADIUM" text fields, with the model number "760" clearly stamped on the opposing arm assembly. Outfitted with inductively hardened multi-tier jaws, this piece is highly sought after by classic European automotive collectors to complete a period-correct, concours-eligible factory delivery presentation.
