Where can one find MB tools for low $$$
 
I find it difficult to find MB tools at local auto part stores. Is there a place or web site you guys recommend for buying various tools at low/reasonable prices??

Don't know about low $$$$. Tools cost $$$$. Here are some suppliers. In some cases, high $$$$ tools can be rented.

samstagsales.com

autospecialty.com

zdmak.com

Harbor Freight has pretty good pricing on tools. They aren't MB specific but I'm sure many of them would work just fine, if you know what you're looking for.

Thanks Guys...
 
Mike, I originally put $$$ and you put $$$$... does that mean you buy more expensive tools:D
I am an occasional DIYer and don't necessarily see a reason to spend $$$$ on a tool if I can get it for $ or $$ since it'll be used 2-3 times. :)

Auto Zone... Not a bad deal!
 
Just got back from Auto Zone and they have way more Metric tools than anyone else locally and at great prices. I found the MB special O2 sensor tool for $8 and few 12mm, 14mm and 17mm hex bit allen sockets all 3 for $7... all with lifetime warranty. Same stuff from a "specialty" european auto parts or web site will cost 5x more... I guess it all depends on how serious about tools you get and how often you need to use it: If i was a pro mechanic, then I'd probably get the more expensive stuff since I know it'll pay off in the long run as people pay big $$ to get their cars fixed and having the proper tools is part of why mechanics charge big $. But for the home DIYer (like me) I'll settle for the "inexpensive" stuff as long as it gets the job done.

Go to Sears. Craftsman tools at reasonable prices
