That will benefit Canucks, as many items on amazon.com cannot ship to Canada and aren't available through amazon.ca.
Many thanks, Diesel911, for this excellent research -- very helpful.
Just out of curiosity, how much does the actual Mercedes tool go for? I once tried to find it online and couldn't... only the version for the w124.
Edit: I ought to have said, could not find in North America... I know it's available in Europe for about $350-400. |
I would not buy from the eBay site look at the shipping!!!!
Shipping:US $30.90 (approx. C $30.45) USPS Priority Mail
I have shipped small Tools to Canada and the cose is comparable to the US shipping. But, you cannot get a Delivery Confirmation on a First Class Parcel.
I have never shipped anything heavier than a Valve Wrench Set.
You can check the prices on Fastlane as they have a special tool section.

Pelican I think also sells some special Tools
There is one that works on Mercedes and looks almost exactly as the Mrecedes one I have pictured but the Screw is longer listed as
BMW3030 for about $110+shipping and the same place has a sale on the Klann made one for $98 (Was $291.76 and has the short screw as mine does but mine is not plated)+shipping.
Even (for a W123) if you do not get as the $20+shipping price; prices seeem to be in the $37-$55 range; on the OTC 8149 there is the advantage that it could be used to pull a Pitman Arm and maybe some other things.
Where as the Mercedes Tool has a smaller opening to it and can less likely be used on something else.
