I'll buy all that stuff once I return to North America and start trolling craigslist for W126s and SLs. For now, I'm living lean.

Any grinder works to take off the top of one link, and you might even be able to get by with a file if you were particularly determined to not find a rotary grinder.

As to the extensions and the 27mm socket, I believe the socket is also known as 1 1/8", and I used a 6" extension bar that was commonly used to change lug nuts. The pliers I can't make any comment on, as I figured that they'd come in useful and bought an extra couple to make this easier.
