Hey everybody,
I just went today on a little shopping spree at the home depot for tools (can't afford snap-on and other brand names) with that card they have and I don't pay a dime for 6 months with no interest either. I basically had my girlfriend pushing the cart and I was throwing things in it left and right lol. I eventually had to take a cab back home because I had bought so much stuff. I really don't care about brand names and that whole fad. I want a tool that gets the job done and it's not like these tools aren't gauranteed, they are. Anyway, the real reason why I wanted to write this post was to see if anyone could give me a quick rundown of tools that are A MUST for working on Mercedes-Benz vehicles. I probably have bought most of the stuff I need to start already but a quick checklist would be very much appreciated, thank you guys.

Oh wow, it's a good thing that most of the tools you listed, I already have bought. But I mostly deal with only brand new Mercedes-Benz cars. I do a lot of prep work such as installing phone kits and ipod kits. I mainly do all of the options that you can purchase with the car. Thanks for the list.
