HAZET

<h3>HAZET: Over 155 Years of German Tool-Making Excellence</h3><p>Few tool brands carry the weight of history that <strong>HAZET</strong> does. Founded in 1868 by Hermann Zerver in Remscheid, Germany, the company began as a small forge and has grown over more than 155 years into one of the most respected professional tool manufacturers in the world. The name itself is a nod to its origins — &quot;HA&quot; and &quot;ZET&quot; are the German pronunciations of the initials H and Z, drawn directly from the founder's name. Today, HAZET remains a fifth-generation family business, a distinction that speaks to the enduring values of craftsmanship and continuity that define the brand.</p><h3>Built for Professionals, Tested in Motorsport</h3><p>HAZET's reputation was forged alongside some of the most demanding environments in the world. The brand became an official supplier and technical partner to Porsche Motorsport, providing customized tools and tool trolleys built for the rigors of professional racing. That motorsport pedigree flows directly into every product HAZET makes — from precision torque wrenches to ergonomic <a href="/7896-hazet-screwdriver-16594">screwdrivers</a> — ensuring that tools designed for the racetrack are equally at home in any professional workshop.</p><p>HAZET manufactures specialty tools for many of the world's leading automotive brands, including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche. This close collaboration with car manufacturers has shaped HAZET's deep expertise in automotive tooling, making their instruments a staple in professional garages and dealerships across more than 100 countries.</p><h3>A Catalog Built on Precision and Range</h3><p>With a product portfolio spanning more than 6,000 items, HAZET covers virtually every hand tool need a professional could have. The lineup includes high-precision torque wrenches, ratchets, fine-tooth reversible mechanisms, pliers, pneumatic tools, and a full range of <a href="/7896-hazet-screwdriver-16594">screwdrivers</a> and <a href="/7896-hazet-screwdriver-bit-50499">screwdriver bits</a> — all engineered to exacting standards. For those who prefer a ready-to-go solution, <a href="/7896-hazet-screwdriver-set-47872">screwdriver sets</a> offer curated collections of the brand's best drivers in a single package, ideal for both workshop use and on-the-go service calls.</p><p>More than 75% of HAZET's products are manufactured in Germany across four modern production facilities, incorporating technologies ranging from traditional forging to CNC-controlled machining and collaborative robotics. This commitment to in-house German manufacturing underpins the brand's promise of consistent quality and long service life.</p><h3>Workshop Organization with the Legendary &quot;Assistent&quot;</h3><p>No discussion of HAZET would be complete without mentioning their iconic <a href="/7896-hazet-tool-cart-55375">tool carts</a>. The &quot;Assistent&quot; trolley series is one of the most recognized workshop storage systems in the professional trades, combining heavy-duty construction, smooth-rolling castors, locking drawers, and thoughtful organization into a product that has become synonymous with the HAZET name. Whether for a busy dealership service bay or a dedicated home workshop, HAZET tool carts bring the same level of German engineering precision to workspace organization as their hand tools do to every fastener.</p><h3>Quality, Reliability, and a Lifetime of Support</h3><p>HAZET backs most of its tools with a lifetime warranty against material defects and faulty workmanship — a testament to the confidence the brand places in its own manufacturing. Combined with decades of award recognition for engineering excellence, brand reliability, and customer satisfaction, HAZET stands as a benchmark for what professional-grade tools should be.</p>

Product Details

The CURT A20 5th wheel hitch delivers smooth, quiet fifth-wheel towing with 20,000 lb gross trailer weight (GTW) capacity and 5,000 lb vertical load rating. Built around CURT's patented A-Series torsion technology, the A20 is engineered for both performance and ease of use — from first installation to everyday coupling.

At the heart of the hitch is a patented cast steel yoke paired with poly-torsion inserts that absorb road shock and suppress towing noise. The fully articulating torsion head allows the trailer to pivot and swivel freely while maintaining a stable, secure connection. High-strength, interlocking cast jaws fully wrap the kingpin to minimize chucking noise and maximize towing security.

Key Features:

  • 20,000 lb GTW / 5,000 lb vertical load capacity — tested to SAE J2638 standards
  • Patented cast yoke with poly-torsion inserts to suppress shock loads and reduce noise
  • Fully articulating torsion head for controlled coupling and stable towing
  • High-strength interlocking jaws fully wrap the kingpin to minimize chucking noise
  • Extra-wide head opening increases the coupling area for easier trailer connection
  • Lockable single-throw handle self-resets to the ready-to-couple position after uncoupling
  • Three-position coupling indicator visible from the truck cab — confirms connection status without leaving the cab
  • Four height adjustment positions (13" to 17") to fit a variety of truck beds
  • Fast one-pin head removal system for quick installation and removal from the truck bed
  • Alignment pegs and easy-access mounting bolts on legs for ergonomic, precise installation
  • Compatible with industry-standard 5th wheel base rails and OEM puck system trucks (with compatible legs or roller adapters)
  • Compatible with kingpin extension boxes, including common pivoting pin boxes
  • Durable carbide black powder coat finish for rust and wear resistance
  • Limited lifetime warranty

What's Included: 5th wheel head, legs, pins, clips, and polyethylene lube plate (patent #8,827,298). Base rails and brackets sold separately.

The CURT 16140 A20 is an ideal 5th wheel hitch for RV and heavy trailer towing, combining patented torsion technology with simple installation and intuitive operation.

Easy to look up and order

I never received anything about shipping so I contacted customer support. They said it was a direct shipment and they would check on it for me and get back to me. I never heard back from them. Shortly after that I did receive a message from the carrier saying they have my shipment and scheduled a delivery. They said they would call me 30 mins before the delivery so I could get off work and come to inspect it before signing for it. That didnt' happen either my wife called me first thing in the morning and say they are here delivering it now so I had to run home so I could inspect it. The driver was really nice and waited for me to get there.

Outstanding product and fast delivery. I will continue buying from this company..

That was fast!

Great

quick and easy
