Hazet is my dream tool. I had an old tool caddy that I should have kept.hazet tools are incredibly German, the sets you buy are made to fit exactly in it's foam tray in a drawer in one of their tool chests. " Alles in ordnung" at it's finest. Tempted to buy this

So everything I have matches and it has pretty much every tool you need to work on a W211 short of a torque wrench and the odd specialty tool.
The 163 piece Torx set is like $1300.... Dang

I could do this for $300 shipped. |
TheDon, good to see you join us!
Yes, I remember seeing at least something similar to the Hazet set. Man, so expensive, but still can admire!
The Torx bit set does look nice! Seems a little on the high end, but I am sure not as much as Snap-On, if they actually had it. Seems special fasteners are/where more European. The Volvo I had thankfully still had the tool kit, as had a lot of Torx and was kind of annoying. Like really, why not just keep the cross heads?
Edit: Just looked, and the American companies don't have a set, especially with the socket heads and handle. Wright does have both bit and socket head, but no handle, and about the same or more in cost.
