This is a huge improvement over the older torque wrenches that I have seen around for years. I know it is a little more expensive, but after you use it, you will agree it is well worth the money. It is perfect for spark plugs and mid-size fasteners around the engine.
Nice set of pick tools with plastic handles. They have strong steel tips which allow for more prying and twisting with less tendency to bend the tips as you would with dental pick tools. Note: Quarter is not included! Shown for size reference only

If you already have or are willing to buy a 5 pound slide hammer this special threaded fitting will allow you to PULL the pre-chamber from the cylinder head once you have removed the collar nut and the glow plug ( a collar nut removal tool is required look below to learn more).
A set of six new high-quality stainless steel short bolts with wave washers is included, as shown. These mount the vacuum pump to the engine block. It is very common for this type of hex bolt to round out when removing them from the vacuum pump.
I have used a lot of different clamping tools over the years to prevent fluids from leaking out when removing coolant, fuel, or brake fluid hoses. Most work ok. Some are hard to use in tight places. Many do not stop every last drip from coming out of the hose.
Fits Mercedes Benz: 230 250 280 250S 280S 280C 220 250C

If you are going to work on your diesel fuel injectors, you are going to need a torque wrench. If you are going to tighten your alloy wheel lug bolts properly, you should use a torque wrench. In fact, if you do your own work, you should have a 1/2-inch clicker torque wrench in your toolbox.
Works on 110, 115, 116, 123, 201, 126 and 124 diesel engines 200D 220D 240D 300D 300CD 300TD 300SD 190D 300SDL. We have found that over half of the deep sockets we test will not go over some of the longer injectors.
Maintenance Alert: We have had lots of reports of these bolts loosening up! They WILL shear off if not caught early enough. When that happens the pulley will fall off. At high speed this can lead to engine overhead and even a damaged radiator.
For use on 220 240D 300D 300CD 300TD 300SD 1968 to 1985. NO INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED: The tool is meant for someone who has the factory manual or who already knows how to adjust their injection pump timing on the older diesel engines. Injection pump timing is critical for peak performance.

This is one of Kent's favorite tools. Lets you reach into tight places - very long nose curved pliers with teeth - like hemostat. With the locking handles it is amazing what this clamp / pliers can hold - and the tight places it can get into!

I like the convenience of using the factory jack points (holes) but I absolutely DO NOT like using the factory jack - except in cases of emergency road side repair. You all know it can be a little unstable... I solved this problem by using a large heavy duty bolt.
