I think Performance Products will rent out the chain crimper.
I used the E-clip type master link for mine. I don't want to get into the debate on whether or not these are strong enough here, but considering that this type of link is described in the M-B shop manual, I can't beleive that it is a poor fix - If you rip this link apart you've got much bigger problems than the timing chain, IMHO.
Maybe 15% of the cost of the tool+two-way shipping, full list price deposit via PayPal, return in X days or you bought it or something like this would work. Most of the tools I have can't really be "worn out" - maybe some adjustment can be made for those that can be worn out.
My specialized 117 tool inventory:
Valve compressor
Both valve stem seal installers
Valve stem seal remover
Timing chain cover
Pin puller
Valve shim go/nogo gauge
Three strap wrenches (not specific to MB, but work great on fan pulley, etc)
I'm going to do the front subframe and motor mounts soon and I'm wondering if the "Generic" type screw-type tie rod separator (not a pickle fork, too violent!!) will separate my tie rods.
