I like this - permanent - threadlocker because it is super strong but can still be removed with a heavy handed breaker bar. This is a very large bottle for the price and is a must have for Mercedes diesel owners. I use it anytime I am doing major repair work on an engine or transmission. Great for front crank bolt, cam bolt, torque converter bolts, injection pump mounting nuts, front engine accessories, brake caliper bolts, front suspension, etc. Anything that you can just not afford to come loose.
This removable thread locker is probably the best that I have used. It has the best sealing cap and cures rapidly and reliably when confined between metal parts. Use it to lock threaded fasteners, nuts, bolts and screws from loosening. Extremely important in critical engine and suspension parts. This is the removable type (meaning that it can be easily removed with hand tools). Comes in small .20 Fl oz. bottle great for most small jobs.
Excellent for all work around diesel engines to prevent vibration failure and breakdowns. If you need the red more permanent type CLICK HERE.
This permanent thread locker is probably the best that I have used. It has the best sealing cap and dries hard in 20 to 60 minutes. Use it to securely lock threaded fasteners, nuts, bolts and screws from loosening. Extremely important in critical engine and suspension parts. This is the permanent type (meaning that it is possible to remove only when applying heat to 450 degress F - with propane torch) or a very heavy breaker bar. I like to use this one on brake caliper bolts as it is such a critical bolt.
Excellent when retaining bearings and bearing races, freeze plugs, rocker arm and main bearing studs, etc. Can fill gaps up to .007 and assures positive controlled locking.
Here is an inexpensive set of cleaning brushes that really get down in the crevices. The plastic one is good for exterior cleaning around the window and body trim. The brass is good for cleaning engine parts you don't want to scratech. The steel one is excellent if you are doing some rust repair.
Due to Kent's heavy product development and writting schedule he will no longer have the time to answer all the questions that have been pouring into our forum. Our goal has always been to be a resource to Mercedes owners who need help fixing their own cars. There is just not enough time to help everyone. We want to continue to try to help our current customers, so we are offering personalized tech help with your order of $75.00 or more. Some restrictions apply:
If you are going to work on your diesel fuel injectors you are going to need a torque wrench. If you are going to tighten your alloy wheel lug bolts properly you should use a torque wrench. In fact if you do your own work you should have a 1/2 inch clicker torque wrench in your tool box. I know why you don't have one. They tend to be expensive for the limited amount you might use one. Well, now you can get a quality one for a very good price. This is a special offer and we only have a limited number in stock.
It comes with a nice moulded plastic case and instructions. This wrench is 18 inches long for good hand torque and it is made in Taiwan. Much better quality than those made in China.
This is my favorite set of tweezers for helping to hold small parts in place for assembly. The wide ones are particularly helpful when a second hand is needed to hold a small bolt or screw in place. Comes with seven different tweezers as shown. Good for car work. Not good for pulling hair!
If you plan to do much work on your Mercedes these metric wrenches and sockets are very desireable - if not a necessity. If you have wanted to add to your tool box but not spend a lot of money here is your chance. These are not Snap On quality wrenches but if you only work on cars ocassionally these are more than adequate to get the job done. Set includes metric crows feet, metric 3/8 inch drive hex (Allen) sockets, and metric 1/4 inch drive socket set 5 to 14 mm. These items are also available separately. To see a list of all our tools CLICK HERE.
Very handy set of three ratcheting offset box end wrenches. They can be set to ratchet either right or left. Sizes are 8, 10, 12, 13, 14 and 15 mm. All steel heads. Made in China.
Long drive pin punches are very handy when working on your Benz. The smaller size in this set is particularly helpful when removing and replacing twin pin style brake pads. All steel. Made in India.
Not only does this set include almost 100 pieces but it includes metric sized allen (hex) bits and even an attachment to remove a wing nut! How cool is that? Most kits don't contain metric sizes. There are probably enough screwdriver bits in this kit to last you for a very long. Comes in nice molded red case.
Great set of metric open end wrenches to get into those real tight places. Metric sizes from 10 to 19 mm. Made in India. They use the standard 3/8 inch drive extension as long as you need to work at right angles in restricted space. Only 10 sets available at this price!
Here is a great set of metric wrenches at a fantastic price that you can afford to cut, grind, heat and bend for all those instances where you need a specical wrench to get into a tight place. These are a black oxide finish so you won't have a problem with the chrome chipping or peeling off after modification. They are made in India and I have found they are a little tougher than the cheap sets coming out of China. Sizes range from 6 mm to 24 mm. The other nice thing about these wrenches is the open end heads are thinner than most other wrenches and will allow you to get onto narrower nuts. And if they are still too thick you can grind them thinner!!
Every tool box should have this set!
Can be used to log maintenance on all Mercedes, Pre 1960, 190SL, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 108, 109, 107, 116, 123, 126, 201, and 124 chassis. We are excited here at Mercedessource about our new book release. This is one booklet we believe every Mercedes owner of every model will really appreciate. In fact we know a number of you will want multiple copies. We plan to use the first 30 to 40 around here personally for our own fleet.
How many times have we (and I am talking about myself here) done an oil change on our vehicle, looked at the odometer and said to ourselves, I will write the mileage down later. I know that I have even tried to memorize the mileage, only to discover a couple months down the road that I am asking myself, Was that 82 or 83 thousand miles?
I have looked high and low for a good set of METRIC nut driver bits that I can use in an electric drill or magnetic screw driver - and have finally found them! Yea - what a great tool for working around Mercedes - especially if you have one of the new compact and light weight Lithium-Ion Rechargeable drills. Until recently I have not used rechargeable drills much when working on cars because the ones that had enough torque were always too heavy and bulky. Now we have the high torque and light weight of these new technology drills and I am now a convert. I use these bits in my new compact drill almost every day working on all kinds of Mercedes Benz. What a great combination and I highly recommend it to anyone who works on their own cars.
ON SPECIAL! Very compact and handy three piece detail brush set. These measure 7 inches long and include one plastic bristle, one brass bristle and one stainless bristle brush. The plastic one is ideal for interior and exterior detailing when you don't want to scratch your paint or trim. The brass brush works great around the engine when you need more bristle strength but still don't want to scratch your steel or aluminum parts ( very good for cleaning diesel fuel injector tips), and the stainless brush is perfect for getting into small places to clean rust and corosion in preparation for Miracle Paint application.

Extra long metric allen sockets with ball ends for hard to reach work areas in and around in engine and body on your Mercedes. Heavy duty black oxide coated chrome vanadium steel. Made in Taiwan. Comes with steel storage clip as shown. Includes sizes 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm and 10mm. These measure 6 inches in length and are super handy when working around Mercedes engines (which you a lot of hex head allen bolts). I consider them a must have if you are planning on any major engine work or R and R.
We picked up a set of these trim tools about two years ago and am constantly amazed at how often I use them - so much so I decided it was time we offered them to our customers. This 5 piece set is made out of plastic so it will not mar or scratch paint, glass, chrome trim, etc. You can use these to remove upholstery clips, body side trim, door panels, soft chrome window trim, rubber seals, interior panels and consoles. You can even use the one with the round hole to pull with when you don't have anything to pry against. We will even throw in a couple sets of gloves to keep your hands clean. You will love em...
Mercedes use a lot of Metric Allen Head bolts especially on their engines. If you are going to work on them yourself one of the first things you will need is a good assortment. Start with a 3/8 inch drive socket set as shown. These are inexpensive but well made sockets from China - most common sizes 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 mm. They can be cut and modified for special applications.

Sound like snake oil?
