BPW and HAZET are cooperating: new tool kit for servicing brakes now even smarter, higher quality – and cheaper

• First collaboration between globally-active family businesses and quality brands
• Innovative new development of important tools – including digital application support
• Tool kit more compact, more practical, more suitable for everyday use – and cheaper

BPW and HAZET, two internationally established quality brands, have joined forces to make the maintenance and repair of BPW trailer disc brakes even smarter and safer. The new tool kit will impress workshop professionals with its well thought-out tools, practical design, digital functions - and even its significantly more attractive price.

Wiehl, 06/03/2024 --- Every action must be exactly right when servicing and repairing brakes. In the case of BPW trailer disc brakes, this work is actually fun for workshop professionals: every detail is designed for optimum ease of servicing, following the principle of Formula One. BPW now presents a completely redesigned tool kit that makes servicing the brakes even more efficient, faster and safer. To this end, BPW has joined forces with the Remscheid-based tool manufacturer and workshop specialist HAZET. The new case is much more compact and presents the new tool kit developed by BPW and HAZET engineers in a two-colour soft foam insert. This doesn't just look attractive, it is also practical: the individual part numbers are embossed both on the tools and on the soft foam insert. This means you can see immediately if something is missing – and you can reorder precisely the right item. The new digital functions are typical of BPW: the QR code on the case opens the digital instruction manual on the smartphone, the parts catalogue and, in future, even videos that provide a practical explanation of optimum handling.

Workshop operators will also be pleased with the price, which is significantly lower than the previous tool kit. The tools developed by BPW and HAZET and manufactured from highly tempered tool steel are even higher quality than before. And even smarter: a completely redesigned compact impact wrench replaces four previous tools – and what is not there cannot be lost in everyday workshop life. The impact wrench makes loosening and tightening the brake considerably easier: for the first time, torque-controlled tightening of brake calliper screw connections is possible with a classic torque wrench. The new trapezoidal threaded spindle now has a pre-assembled thrust bearing that is firmly connected to the spindle – this means that the force is transferred perfectly to the tools when working on brakes. Another new feature is the adaptable press-in tool, which securely fixes the folding bellows for the first time with or without the brake disc being installed. Result: increased safety and efficiency with every action.

Matthias Stoof, Head of Sales OES at BPW: "The ease of maintenance and repair of BPW suspension components and brakes is widely recognised. Nevertheless, we are also constantly working on perfecting that which is tried and tested. The new workshop kit is an example of how BPW can maximise the efficiency of the trailer even when it is in the workshop. The collaboration with the experts from HAZET was particularly pleasing: BPW and HAZET, as family-owned companies and quality brands, stand for "Made in Germany" throughout the world. Shared values bring unity – and lead to solutions that are even more intelligent, more suitable for everyday use and even more attractively priced than before."
