If you were to pull the dash on an R129 for instance with those paint opener tools, for one, it's too tight, and two, if you did and slipped, you would be looking at the replacement of a $372 gauge cluster lens!

Makes the cost of the $15 tool that much better. I will contend that the W124 dash-to-cluster clearance is wider than that of the R129.
