I had never heard of them until an email from Amazon. I went there to check on a tool and got a large number of email solicitations in response, including the one I posted.
Over tightening on the W210's can cause horrid problems. All five lug bolts on my right front wheel were tightened so that none of them could be removed. All broke when we tried to remove them, and we could not drill them out. We had to remove the whole wheel assembly and replace to hub, the brakes, and the wheel and tire. It cost me more than $600.
Those are the "Torque Sticks" mentioned in previous posts.
