Kent is often asked what are the most important SEALANTS AND ADESIVES to have around for your Benz. These are his top 5 picks. This kit includes the following 5 products:

5 pieces 11" to 16" long misc ends from our cutoff stock. From 1/8 inch to 3/16 inch diameter. These can be used on various vacuum connections. Maybe some small fuel hose included. Yes, Kent does use fuel hose on vacuum systems as it will not swell and rot like regular rubber vacuum hose.

PLEASE NOTE: Not to be used for diesel fuel injector fuel return hoses!!

For 14mm and 18mm spark plugs. These work on the older and the newer ( Up to 1995) Mercedes spark plug holes. Use a 13/16 inch deep socket to drive the chaser.

This is a very handy smaller torque wrench to have in your tool box. It will do fuel injectors but is not quite big enough to torque wheel lug bolts. Range is 5 to 80 foot pounds. To order a 1/2 drive torque wrench CLICK HERE.

Nice set of heavy duty pick tools with rubberized handles. They have hardened steel tips which allow for more prying and twisting with less tendency to bend the tips.

Quality Tool. Use as a long extension on your 3/8 inch ratchet. The magnetic tip will help to hold the bolt into the socket. Or you can remove the socket pull out the telescoping tip and use it as a pickup magnet to get into hard to reach places. LIMITED SUPPLY.

I have used a lot of different clamping tools over the years to prevent fluids from leaking out when removing coolant, fuel, or brake fluid hoses. Most work ok. Some are hard to use in tight places.  Many do not stop every last drip from coming out of the hose. Imagine my excitement a couple years ago when I saw a clamping tool combined with a vise grip like mechanism.  I immediate thought - not that is a tool and a half!  Sure enough after using it it has proven to be the best I have ever used.  And yes, it will stop every drip.... to is super easy to get into tight places and easily clamp and unclamp. The clamp bars swivel are are big enough to work on radiator hoses and strong enough to work on smaller heater and fuel hoses.

Kent could not live without zip ties. Almost anyone who has work on cars, boats, or airplanes will agree. Here is a 100 pak of the popular 8 inch size.

This set of 5 pick tools have very thin and sharp points. The variety of angles available allows you to get into almost anywhere to remove and o-ring, sealing ring or other small part. Comes in protective plastic case.

INTRODUCTORY SALE: This quality small fuel filter is made by Monark in Germany. Although not made specifically for Mercedes, it has some unique uses. Use it inline with the feed hose for the windshield washer system to keep the squirters from getting plugged up with dirt (and we all know what a hassle that is!). In the picture below I have installed it inline on my 116 chassis 300SD. It has a fine enough filter to stop all dirt particles before they reach your squire nozzles!

This heavy duty brass connector works with 3/4 inch fuel or coolant hose. No clamps included.

This is a handy kit to have in your garage. It will allow you to securely spice almost any fluid hose on your Mercedes. Works great in an emergency or when modifying your fuel or coolant system. Kit contains 4 brass connectors and 8 new quality hose clamps:

Great for working in tight places - like removing speakers, voltage regulators, distributor caps, etc.

Here is a handy clamp set. Goes from small fuel hose up to large coolant hose. Hard to find the larger sizes. Easy screw shut to clamp off any hose up to 1 and 3/4 inch in diameter.

This is a often neglected filter. In fact some owners do not even know it exists. It is well hidden inside the power steering fluid reservoir. You have to remove the cap and spring - then use a pick tool to lift the metal plate out and the filter can be seen way down in the bottom. See pictures below. Be sure to flush when replacing the filter. Remove the return hose and place in a plastic bottle. Fill the reservoir with new ATF (Dexron III). Have someone help you crank the engine over while you pour new fluid into the reservoir - keep doing this until fresh fluid comes out the return hose. DO NOT LET the reservoir run dry to prevent getting air in the system.

There large size metric hex sockets in 1/2 inch drive. Includes 12mm 14mm and 17mm. Use these for rear end fill and drain plugs, manual transmission fill and drain plugs, etc.

This is a handy set of hard plastic vacuum hose connectors / fittings. These will help you fix leaks, splice in your hoses, add vacuum components, etc. Works on 220D 240D 300D 300CD 300TD 300SD 300SDL 350SDL (ALL YEARS) Comes with:

• 4 straight line connectors
• 4 Tee connectors

Please note these connectors with the barbs are slightly too large to be used on our reinforced oil resistant vacuum hose.  You can force them on but are hard to remove. 

High quality lubricant to be used when assembling bearings in engines or in components that are oiled by engine oil. This WILL prevent scoring and wear upon initial start-up after overhaul.

This tool is the only way to remove the spark plug connectors without damaging the wire or boot. If you own a gas engined Mercedes this is a MUST HAVE tool!

This must-have kit does not only have hard-to-find metric sizing, but the o-rings are made out of nitrile which holds up better to heat and is more resistant to oil, grease, hydraulic fluid, silicone and even water. Kit contains 30 different common METRIC sizes ranging from 2.8 mm ID to 47.7 mm ID.

Just being able to use one or two of these o rings in an emergency to solve a leak or prevent a trip to the hardware store will pay for the kit.  Just think of having 382!!!

These long reach ball end hex wrenches will allow to get access to bolt heads at a angle from a longer distance. When used the other way the long end will provide an extra length handle for more torque. A must have if you work on Mercedes engines. Sizes include 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 mm.
