: Re: [MBZ] Short tool review You just have to make sure it's a Craftsman tool - they also sell a different brand - Sears perhaps? With limited warranty. Larry T (67 MGB, 74 911, 78 240D, 91 300D) www.youroil.net for Oil Analysis and Weber Parts Test Results http://members.rennlist.com/oil PORSCHE

Three things The head has already broken off. Around here there are not many MBs and probably not many pros with a lot of experience. I fear if I leave it with someone, out will come the torch. Marshall, do you have a part number for the short lug bolts? 4th, Is that a fact about Sears's

I recently got a replacement for a 1/4 drive U-joint that was too loose, a 6mm Allen socket that the bit kept falling out of, and a 16oz. hammer that the rubber grip had cracked on - no questions - just get yourself a new one. Yes, as far as I know they still provide the lifetime warranty.
