Who can identify mystery tool?
One of a bunch of Mercedes tools that I bought. It has KMC stamped inside a square diamond shaped box. Has a part number that looks like a Mercedes part number 711 589 01 01 00. Set up for ½ inch drive with the wrench end being 14mm.
Please help me identify this tool. Car model, engine and the what the tool would be used for. I believe it is a tool for a gas engine not diesel.

It seems like I've seen a call out for it somewhere in the service CD, but I can't remember where. If I stumble across it I'll let you know. Maybe it would have made a job I've already done easier?

Are there a lot of tools that are unique to Mercedes? More so than for other manufacturers?

For example, dropping the transmission calls out a model-specific cradle for the jack. You don't have to have it to drop the transmission, but it might make things easier if you did.

I would like to buy it , if at all possible.
It is to adjust the ball sockets on 127/129 engines. The 130 engine used the same tool with a 17mm size. Let me know.. A Dalton Last edited by Arthur Dalton; 12-06-2007 at 07:53 PM.

I posted in 3 areas from the responses I have recieved so far lean towards a valve adjusting crowfoot as it is similar in function to the 17mm one used on the V8s.
One person (in UK) said it showed up as no longer available but did not give any other info. When I searched by part numbers I also found nothing so far. One member said for gas engine car before 1971. So far looks like it is a valve adjusting tool for an older vehicle. If it was not for the part number on it I might not have believed it was a special tool for Mercedes.

I vote for Arthur's reply.
Look at the marks on it where the 1/2" drive connects and on the wrench end too. Those markings didn't come from the torque used to do a little valve adjustment unless the tool is made from aluminum.

<< One member from the UK said it showed up as a tool no longer available.
>> That is correct..the original was 111-589-00-01-00 and , as as I stated, it is for the ball socket valve adjusters on the early IL-6 engines , up to M130 [ which is when they went to the larger 17mm ball sockets]

Please take a closer look the 1/2 inch drive end is not messed up. When they made the tool they drilled a slightly oversized hole down through the center before they made the squared part.

The reason for the tool offset is b/c the ball sockets are friction thread locking and in order to get the correct torque specifications on each one, the 1/2" drive has to be geometrically in-line with the ball socket. There are several different makes off this tool..I have a small collection including the first one I bought in 1965..these were a Must Tool for that adjustment back then.
