I was going through some stuff i got with one of my beetles and found a Sidchrome spanner with a VW logo on it. Were these common? and what tools were in the "VW" range?

Cheers

I believe sidchrome only made one type of spanner specially for VW's (10mm x 13mm). Hazet,Matra or Preisler were VW tool manufacturers.
sorry 8 x 13mm 馃ゲ

That's interesting because the one I have is 8mm x 13mm

Same as the one that I've got - Sidchrome, VW logo, 8 X 13.

I got a couple, one came in a small roll-up tool kit with spark plug tool etc.

Can anyone throw any light on these spanners?

From memory (which is a little shakey at times but mostly after barls' home brews)they were part of the local content in the mid 60's,late 1200-1300 beetles.there was also a couple of decent screwdrivers in place of the two in one unit.
